YM778.TV Chapter 173 - 173 A Morning with Him
Unfortunately, it was high time that we got out of bed. I got up and headed for the small kitchenette in my room and poured myself a glass of water. When I turned around to take a look at him, EROS was sitting on the side of my bed while he ran his fingers through his tousled blond hair. Needless to say, it was an extremely sexy and relaxing sight. I didn’t look away as I admired how his muscles moved as he moved his arm and then arched his neck to the side. His body is indeed beautiful and I didn’t feel shameful for staring at and admiring it. Taking that as a reward for hosting him for the night didn’t seem like such a bad idea.
“Do you eat breakfast?” I asked.
“No…” he replied immediately.
“Thought so…” I replied without any surprise.
“Do you?” he asked.
“Not really,” I said with a shrug.
EROS finally stood up from the bed. He approached me while I tried my best to ignore the fact that he was naked. I wondered where he put his clothes last night. He really should get dressed.
“Elena…” he murmured my name.
.....
“Hmm?” I made a questioning sound in response.
Wordlessly, EROS wrapped his arms around me before turning me around in his arms until I had my back to him. The warmth of his embrace felt comforting as he held me close to his body. I knew that all he was doing was holding me but probably because it was EROS, it felt strange that there wasn’t something more.
“You should go back…” I said as I tried to pull his arms away from my body.
“Am I not welcomed here anymore?” he asked as his hold on me only tightened.
“Right. You shouldn’t be here and I’m just going to ignore the fact that you spent last night here with me…” I replied without any hesitation.
“Isn’t that a little too mean of you? I did go out of my way to keep you company…” he murmured before he turned his face to the side and kissed my hair softly.
“I don’t remember asking you to…” I muttered.
“But you do feel better, right?” he asked cheerfully.
“Maybe…” I mumbled as I started to feel stubborn.
EROS loosened his hold on me just enough so that I could turn around in his arms to face him. As our eyes met, I felt an uncomfortable mix of feeling flood my chest. It wasn’t unpleasant to have him around. Although I didn’t want to admit it, it didn’t feel bad to have EROS stay over with me the night before. However, that didn’t change the fact that he was still a client, and we were not supposed to be mixing our private life with our professional one. Just the thought started to make my temple throb in pain.
“Where are your clothes? You should get dressed and you should leave,” I demanded.
“Ok…” he replied before grinning at me.
To my surprise, it wasn’t too challenging to get rid of EROS.
“What are you going to do today?” he asked.
“I’m going to spend some time alone…” I replied truthfully.
Justin’s advice about self-care truly struck a chord within me and I was determined to make the most out of my leave days. I promised myself that I would become a better version of myself when I got back to work. I turned towards EROS and showed him one of my best smiles in the hope that it would reassure him that I would be fine.
“You can always give me a call…” he said.
“Thank you,” I thanked him with another smile.
I leaned against the kitchen counter as I watched EROS head into the bathroom. It didn’t take long for him to emerge fully dressed in his disguise. I was reminded again of his ultra-famous status and that made me worry a little about him turning up and leaving my place. If someone found out or if news of this got out, things could turn very ugly for us.
“Walk me down?” he asked but it sounded more like a request.
“Sure…” I replied as I slipped on a sweater to cover some skin.
We were lucky not to run into anyone on our way down and there was no one in the lonely lobby of the building. The odds of us running into someone and that person recognizing EROS with his disguise and mask on were quite low; however, I still thought that it was better if we didn’t take too many risks. One slip and we would cause so much trouble for countless people at the company and EROS’s manager and team.
“EROS…” I called his name softly.
“You can call me Sean, you know…” he pointed out lazily.
“Sean…” I tried again.
He turned to face me with a questioning face and that made me hesitate a little. After telling myself that this was honestly for the best. I took in a deep breath before telling him what was on my mind.
“I think that you shouldn’t come here anymore,” I told him firmly.
EROS seemed surprised at my sudden suggestion and then his face turned cold. I could tell that he was displeased but before I could explain anything to him, EROS just nodded before he opened the door and slipped through it. I quickly reached my hand for the door handle as my body seemed to move on its own to chase after him.
What am I doing?
My hand stilled on the door handle without opening the door as my body froze in place from the conflicting emotions inside of me.
