Chapter 4 My kind of man

I tossed and turned, my eyes shut tight as I tried to calm my racing heart. Just then the door creaked open, and I knew Ruan had entered. I didn't dare open my eyes, not wanting to be caught awake.

"I know you're awake, no need to play pretend," Ruan said, his voice low and husky.

I opened my eyes, feeling a little silly. Ruan stood beside the bed, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

"Busted," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

Ruan chuckled "I knew it. You're not as sleepy as you claimed, are you?"

I shook my head, my heart still racing. "No, I guess not."

Ruan sat beside me, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Good. I didn't want to sleep yet either and I knew someone looked annoyed earlier"

We sat in silence for a moment, the only sound being our heavy breathing.

"So, what's on your mind?, what's making you pissed?" Ruan asked, his voice soft and gentle.

I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something about Ruan's warm gaze put me at ease. "I was just thinking about how much I like it when you get possessive," I admitted, my cheeks flushing.

I swallowed hard, my heart pounding. "It makes me feel loved, I guess. Like you care about me."

Ruan's face inches from mine, his voice dropped to a whisper. "I do care about you. More than you know."

I thought he was going to kiss me but then he asked "Answer to the other question, why were you pissed?" He asked and I giggled looking at him in the eyes "That is a secret" I whispered

Ruan's eyes darkened, his pupils dilating. "Oh? And why's that?"

"Cause I don't want to tell" I said avoiding his eyes as I bit my lower lips seductively.

He giggled holding my head back to look at him "oh I know, that's why you are so shy" he said

"No I'm not" I protested vehemently.

He placed his hand over my hand "Shhhh"

"Don't worry, you will get just what you are thinking but don't shout, you don't want the guys to hear you" he whispered into my ears, he turned to look at me again and our eyes locked, the tension between us palpable.

He stood up and walked to the door to lock it.

"Why are you locking the door?" I asked slowly and with a smirk on his face he turned to look at me "I don't want anyone to barge in on us" he said at that moment I knew that the night was far from over.

I covered my face with the blanket in embarrassment and excitement as Ruan walked back to the bed, I didn't want him to see how excited I was.

Ruan got to where I was and took a blanket off my face, throwing it to the sides and coming on top of me.

Our eyes were locked, our lips inches apart, and my heartbeat raced fast like it was going to stop beating anytime soon.

Ruan looked at me like he was staring right into my soul and said "You look prettier in bed" His voice was so intimate.

"oh yeah" I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper as I linked my hands around his head, running my fingers into his hair, aware that he loved the look of my hair spread across the pillow.

"Kiss me," he rasped as I ran my fingers through his hair, his husky tone sending a thrill through me, his words dripping with desire.
