Chapter 180
"You think I can't?" Zeno asked, holding the gun tighter.
He glared at Sebastian, seeing no fear in his eyes. He knew Sebastian believed that he could never shoot him.
But, could he?
"I know you can, but... I have a better idea," Sebastian walked closer to Zeno, he cautiously raised his hand to the gun and slid his fingers over Zeno's hand, gently lowering the gun.
Zeno watched as Sebastian closed the distance between them; he went from holding a gun to shoot Sebastian to being drawn into Sebastian's arms; his body thrummed with desire, his skin aflame with a burning need that threatened to consume him. Sebastian gently held around his finger
"I have a better option," Sebastian's whisper grazed Zeno's ear, causing him to gasp very softly.
"What do you mean?" His voice was low and breathy.
Sebastian gently took the gun away from Zeno's hand, using it to tilt Zeno's head up to look at him, "How about we reverse..." He smirked.
Zeno tried to push him away but Sebastian tightened his hand on his waist. "Since you want to play with guns, then let's play with mine," He tested the waters by slowly biting Zeno's earlobe, smirking sexily when he heard Zeno's fast breathing and his slight body tensing.
"I don't -"
"How about you bend over and I'll give you shots, Zeno, shots we've both missed, I promise, I've become better at it," Sebastian lowered his nose to Zeno's neck and sniffed his scent into his nose, "Damn, Zeno, I'm still addicted to you..." he whispered fervently.
"You're mad," Zeno's chest rose and fell as he breathed sharply and hotly, he was slowly losing connection with his brain, tilting more to his stupid heart.
Sebastian raised his and stared at Zeno, "Yes, Zeno, I'm mad over you," He leaned down to kiss Zeno but Zeno turned his face away.
He caught a glimpse of tears beside Zeno's eyes, and his heart broke, "Zeno," He called quietly.
Zeno shook his head and slowly pushed him away; he locked his eyes with Sebastian as he spoke, "Fine, you've proved your point, but still, I can't get back together with you, Sebastian; you hurt me, don't you understand that? I... I loved you and trusted you, and when I needed you the most, you hurt and abandoned me. It hurts Sebastian, it fucking hurts. That's why I'm chasing myself this time; no matter how attracted to you I think I am, the hurt you've caused me will always override my attraction; Goodnight, Seb," He said and turned to open the door; he couldn't be in the same room with Sebastian.
Sebastian watched speechlessly as Zeno walked out of the room. Hearing him call him 'Seb' after a long time made the whole thing hit home. For the first time since he'd found Zeno, he showed him how he truly felt, and it stung him so hard.
He could see from Zeno's eyes that he was still hurting, badly, all because of him.
"I'm such an idiot," He muttered and went to sit on the bed.
The door suddenly opened, and he snapped his head toward it to find Nana and Zeno in front of it.
He immediately became alert.
Had Zeno told his Nana what happened between them, that meant he was about to lose his spot as Nana's best person because she was not going to be happy with someone who hurt her grandson the way he'd done.
"What happened, Sebastian? Why did you ask Zeno to sleep on the couch?" Nana asked, frowning.
"I thought you were comfortable sharing a bed," She looked from Sebastian to Zeno.
"Nana, I've told you, no one asked me, I just wanted to sit there for a while," Zeno replied.
Sebastian immediately stood from the bed, "No, Nana, it's just a misunderstanding, Zeno said he needed some time to attend to something on his phone, right, Zeno?" Sebastian asked, looking right at Zeno.
Zeno had no choice but to cooperate, "Yes, Nana,"
"There, but he's done now, and he can come right to bed; I'm a heavy sleeper. He wouldn't even know someone is lying beside him," Sebastian smiled as he promised.
"Good, no one sleeps on my couch, Zeno, you know that; it'll get old, please, refrain from doing that; goodnight, kids," She gently pushed Zeno in and closed the door as she left.
Zeno sighed quietly and walked toward his wardrobe; since he was sleeping in his room, he might as well buy some time by taking a shower; Sebastian would be asleep before he finished.
"Zeno," Sebastian called as Zenon was about to enter the bathroom.
He paused not answering and not speaking.
"You can sleep on the bed when you come out, I'll sleep on the chair beside the mirror," Sebastian assured.
Zeno moved without responding; he didn't need to; he already heard what he'd said, and there was no need to talk back.
After his shower, Zeno peeked his head into the room and saw Sebastian relaxing on the chair with his eyes closed, sleeping.
'Good, he kept to his word,' Zeno thought as he walked into the room.
He's already dressed in his bedroom, he couldn't risk getting naked in front of that corny wolf.
He quietly went and switched off the lights, walking over to his windows to push them open, letting the bright moonlight stream inside the room.
He loved sleeping with the moonlight shining inside his room; it helped calm him down countless times, and he needed that calmness tonight.
He took a deep breath and walked over to his bed, gently getting on it. He dragged his pillow to his side and placed his head on it, facing away from Sebastian as he lay down.
His thoughts were all over the place; he wasn't comfortable at all; how could he be? The man he'd been running away from was sitting right next to his bed; how was he expected to stay calm and comfortable?
He let his brain wander off to things that didn't matter, like random members of his gym, it worked because after a few minutes, he found himself falling deep in sleep.
Zeno was unconsciously enjoying his sleep, contrary to how he felt before sleeping; he felt so calm and at peace, and his pillow was so warm and snuggly...
'Warm and snuggly?' His brain immediately alerted him of danger.
Hid pillows were never warm and snuggly; rather, they were cool and comfortable; why was he feeling so warm?
Zeno slowly moved his leg, and that was when he felt an arm around his waist and the warm breath fanning his cheeks.
'It couldn't be,' He thought in fear.
He slowly opened his eyes and realized that his fear was real.
Sebastian had gotten on his bed. How?
With the aid of the moonlight, he stared at Sebastian's sleeping face; his perfect, smooth jawline was defined by the soft light, and his nose was sculpted to perfection.
Zeno deliberately leaned his head closer and sniffed Sebastian's warm, natural scent, 'Damn, he's fucking sexy,' Zeno let his thoughts go crazy.
He stared at Sebastian's smooth, exposed chest and imagined how good it would feel under his fingers.
"Can't sleep?" Sebastian's groggy voice asked.
Zeno immediately bit his lips, his breath hitched as he returned his eyes to Sebastian's face and found him looking at him with those darkening grey eyes of his.
"I..." Zeno didn't know what to say, he'd been caught staring.
No one said a word, afraid to ruin the charged moment between them; their nerve endings pulsed with raw hunger, their bodies hummed with anticipation, and their senses heightened as they got undeniably aware of each other's presence and thoughts.
"What are you doing on my bed? Why am I in your arms?" Zeno asked, his voice barely a whisper.
Sebastian's hand that was holding Zeno's waist slowly caressed its way up his sides and stopped on the sides of his face.
"You couldn't sleep, I had to hold you before you calmed down and slept," his voice was grazing Zeno's walls, slowly pushing them down.
Zeno shivered slightly, "I didn't ask you to," he frowned slightly, his eyes unable to leave Sebastian's.
Sebastian's thumb caressed Zeno's cheeks, his eyebrows, his nose bridge, "I couldn't help it, Sweetheart, I wanted to hold you... needed to hold you, Zeno," he whispered hotly, his eyes roaming all over Zeno's face.
Zeno gulped quietly, feeling his throat drying up, "Leave my bed, Sebastian... I don't want you here," he managed to control his breath that was getting out of control.
Sebastian shook his head and leaned his face closer to Zeno's, his thumb finding Zeno's smooth and luscious bottom lips, caressing it.
"There are only two things I'd let you do to me for getting your bed, Baby girl," His thumb on Zeno's lips circled it, his skin flaming as he felt Zeno's hit breath on his hand.
"What?" Zeno questioned.
"Kiss or slap, baby girl. What's it going to be?" Sebastian's intense gaze gave Zeno tingles.
"Kiss or slap?" Sebastian's deep, sexy voice asked again.
Zeno's breath was hot, and so was his body. He stared at Sebastian's handsome face and bit his lips, his eyes openly lowering to Sebastian's chest, 'Fuck,' his eyes immediately found Sebastian's lips, just there, looking all kissable and waiting for him to press his lips against it.
He slowly started to lean in, his breaths turning into soft gasps.
Sebastian saw Zeno leaning in, but he maintained his position; he wanted him to be the one who initiated it; if he moved, Zeno might back off, feeling like he wanted to take advantage of him.
Zeno paused, a whisper away from Sebastian's lips, his hand went up to Sebastian's face, sneaking behind his head, "Kiss," He whispered and pressed his lips on Sebastian's.
Sebastian's reaction was instant, he moaned and grabbed Zeno's face, hungrily devouring his lips.
They burned with unrelenting passion, their very being seemed to vibrate with an insatiable longing as their mouth, tongues, and lips sought for that invisible satisfaction, their hearts pounding in their chest like a drum.
Sebastian gently pushed Zeno to lay on his back and immediately got above him, positioning himself between his legs.
Zeno moaned as Sebastian pushed his shirr aside and attacked his neck with a raw, hungry kiss.
"Seb..." Zeno called, feeling euphoric.
"Yes, baby girl, tell me what you want," he whshuskily above Zeno's lips, slowly lowering his hips to Zeno's, causing both of them to gasp as their erect cocks rubbed together.
"I want you, Seb," Zeno huffed out.
Zeno's words were like music to Sebastian's ears, he'd been dying to hear those words again.
"You've got me, baby girl, I'm yours," He crashed his hungry lips on Zeno's, both of them surrendering to their primal urges.
