Chapter 8: Chapter eight- Shirtless

Adira Skylar's Pov:

I and Lancelot were eating the food that we both cooked for dinner together. Technically, I was still eating the food and Lancelot was staring at me and smirking. Creep. I focused on my food. I smiled having a presence in this house after so many years. Even if it was a wolf, he was eating with me. From childhood, I was afraid of being alone. I couldn't stay without my parents. I couldn't stay in lone places. But here I ended up being alone in the end because I promised dad. Do not trust anyone. I couldn't trust anyone except my two friends. I looked at Lancelot and sighed.

He wasn't a human fully, I could trust him, right? He was a wolf after all. Well, partly. Without realizing I asked, "I can trust you, right?" I looked at him. He was surprised by the sudden question I could feel. I smiled. "Forget it. I have morning classes. I need to sleep. Good night. The couch is all yours." I said putting the dishes on the sink and left for my room.

While I was brushing my teeth, Lancelot came inside the bathroom knocking. I looked at him suspiciously. He came and stood behind me. Startling me again, he back hugged me. The brush fell from my hand because he squeezed me too hard. He chuckled. "You didn't let me answer your question, darling. Let people talk." He said and nibbled on my ear again. Right there, my stomach flipped. I don't whether it was because of the closeness or the nibbling or his deep voice.

"Lancelot let go," I said trying to push him off.

"You asked whether you could trust me. My answer is yes. Because I can do anything but I will not break anyone's trust. People break my trust always but I stand on my ground. So, I won't break your trust. And God will punish me if break such a beautiful girl's trust." He said unbothered by my struggles. Hearing his words, I don't know but I felt relieved. I stopped struggling. I picked up the brush and washed it again to put it in my mouth. The whole time I was brushing, he kept hugging me while also brushing his teeth. He came well prepared. What a psycho.

But his actions made me smile secretly. After a lot of struggles, I pushed him out of the bathroom to change into my pajamas.

Changing, I came back into my bedroom and saw him shirtless laying down on my bed like he owned the bed. But boi he was shirtless which made me blush and become a tomato.

"Hello, tomato, like what you see?" He said cockily. Jerk. " I have seen better. " I said avoiding him and keeping my clothes on the basket." You have seen better? Like whose? Your teddy?" He said chuckling. Cocky Jerk. "Yeah, my teddy hubby. He is hot. You should see him." I said trying to fix my bed."What is his name, darling?" He said smirking. Oh, he thought I couldn't give him a name. Dumb ass. "Mathew Adams," I said not caring about his comments. He sat up and growled. "What? Do you have a boyfriend? " I tried to conceal my laughter but his adorable pout made me smile. "Teddy hubby is my best friend out there. Now move to the couch." I said still standing beside the bed.

"I can't sleep without holding on to someone. I need my body heater and cuddles." He said not bothering to move. I sighed. "Do not touch me you pervert. I'm not your body heater. Hold on to the cushions if you want warmth. Move to the couch. Good night." I said sitting on the bed. Not showing any signs of moving from the bed, he pulled me towards him. I fell on him surprised. "I told you I can't sleep without holding on to someone. And here someone is you. Right now, I don't need cushions. I have sought warmth from cushions for a very long time. I think I finally got my body heater, darling." He said squeezing me. After a few minutes, I stopped struggling and gave up.
