Chapter 132 Parents-in-law?
Quinn's POV
Grayson's massage felt really good, even though it was a little ticklish at first. But slowly, it started to feel really nice.
Honestly, I never thought I'd get a massage from Grayson, a famous star ice hockey Alpha that before was my boss. It was like something out of a fairy tale. Especially with his cold attitude, I never expected the situation to turn around now.
Who would have thought that Grayson, who used to not care about anyone, now cares about me and even takes good care of me. Who would have thought he would become romantic.
He, who was initially indifferent, can now be so affectionate. And he, who is stubborn, is willing to give in to me.
I never asked for any of that, but Grayson changed on his own because he wanted to give me the best. He said he wanted to love me equally, even more, and one of his efforts was to change his attitude.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Huh? Am I laughing?"
"Yes, even if it's very slight."
I turned around. "Should I feel honored that you're massaging me? I mean, this must be what your fans want."
Grayson tickled my neck. It made me reflexively turn around. And I accidentally tripped his knee, causing him to fall on top of me. His hands held me on my right and left sides.
"You're not my fan. You're my partner. So there's no need to feel honored."
"If anyone saw you like this, they might be surprised. A famous ice hockey player who can also give massages."
"Are you challenging me, Quinny? Should we tell everyone that we're dating and share our activities on social media?"
I pushed him, but he stayed put. "No, no, no. Don't do that."
"Why? Then they'll know I'm good at massages too. Who knows, someone might want to hire me."
I glared at him and put my hands on my hips. "Oh, so now you want a side job too? It's not enough to touch my body, you're curious to touch other people's bodies?"
Grayson suddenly kissed me on the lips. "If you don't agree, then I won't." Grayson's hand moved towards my shoulder. Then his fingers slowly moved down until they stopped on my chest. "I’m satisfied. I'm so curious about this body that I want to explore it every day every inch. Other people's bodies don't interest me."
I felt my cheeks flush. But before Grayson could tease me, I bit his ear first. That made him move away from me.
"I'm not an exploiter, you know!" I shouted.
Meanwhile, Grayson rubbed his reddened ear. A second later, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Frightened, I tried to jump off the bed. But Grayson grabbed my waist. He pulled me down until I fell on top of him, face down.
Our bodies were pressed against each other, separated only by our clothes.
My heart started beating faster. My whole body felt tense.
This was the first time we had been this close since seven days ago. So did I miss his touch?
Oh my gosh. I never knew I was this naughty. No wonder Grayson sometimes teased me like that.
"I'm very curious. How long can you hold out now?" He gently stroked my cheek. "But I don't want to force you if you're not ready."
I am very ready now.
I wanted to say that. But somehow I felt that would make me sound desperate.
"I miss you, Quinny. I miss everything about you. Your silliness, your chattiness, your smile, your touch..."
I didn't let Grayson finish his words because I kissed him instead.
I closed my eyes, letting myself feel this kiss.
What I liked about kissing Grayson was that I didn't have to worry about smelling cigarettes or alcohol. Because Grayson didn't consume either.
"We'd better go see them—oh—"
Grayson and I both reflexively looked at the door, breaking our kiss.
There, Mr. & Mrs. Talon stood side by side, holding hands, looking at us. Their expressions clearly showed how shocked they were.
I mean, how could they not be? Right now, I was on top of Grayson. My butt was on Grayson's stomach, my legs were on either side of his body, and my upper body was pressed against Grayson's upper body. And I was kissing him!
It was over.
I immediately got off and sat down next to Grayson.
I felt so embarrassed even though it wasn't a crime.
I wanted to disappear right now. I wanted to cover my face with anything that would keep me from seeing the two of them. At least until I could calm down.
"What are you doing here?" Grayson's voice sounded annoyed. He also sat down with his legs folded. He looked sharply at his parents.
"We meant to visit Quinn. But we didn't know you two were getting cozy." Mrs. Talon drew in the air with both index fingers.
"Mom!" Grayson shouted.
"I told you to come later. You're so stubborn," said Mr. Talon. He tried to pull Mrs. Talon, who was still standing stiff as a statue.
Meanwhile, Grayson sighed. "It's too late to leave now. You guys can come in."
Oh Goddess! This situation was really awkward.
This was the first time someone had caught me being so naughty with Grayson. I felt like I wanted to fly into space and live on the moon.
I couldn't even bear to look at Grayson's parents' faces. Even though they hadn't said anything yet.
The problem was that if Grayson were in my position, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. I was the one who looked like I was dominating the situation, when in fact I just wanted to get back at Grayson for being so mischievous.
Argh, I felt like screaming.
"Sorry for interrupting your activities," said Mr. Talon.
"We weren't doing anything," I replied quickly.
Grayson glanced at me with wide eyes. "You didn't consider our kiss earlier?"
I immediately covered his mouth and glared at him. "You guys aren't disturbing us. Earlier, Grayson was helping me fix the bed, but then I fell and landed on top of him."
"Oh, I see," responded Mrs. Talon. But she looked doubtful.
I pushed Grayson off the bed.
Now he stood there dumbfounded, turning his palms upward. "What?"
"Be quiet," I said without sound.
I finally tidied myself up. At least I didn't look messy when they were so neat.
"Sorry for the misunderstanding earlier, Mr. Talon and Mrs. Talon," I said, still feeling embarrassed.
"Grace and Henry. Those are our names, Quinn. You can call us that,” said Mrs. Talon.
I turned to Grayson. It felt strange to call them that.
"Or if you prefer, you can call us mum and dad," said Mr. Talon. He succeeded in making Grayson and me both gape wide-eyed.
