Chapter 166 - Let Me See You Wipe Your Lips Now
The night went fast, and the early morning sun rose in the sky in the blink of an eye. Adrik stood up from the sofa, which was where he had sat throughout the night, and staggered to the bathroom. He took a very slow shower, and when he was done, he came out, then slid into his home wear and fixed his hair as much as he could.
A deep breath left his nose and he proceeded to leave the room and go for breakfast in the dining room.
With his hands shoved into his pocket, he stepped into the dining room only to meet Leia, who was clad in a white shirt that stopped at knee length and probably a short inside, seated with her head bent as though she was extremely tired.
He strolled to the head seat and sat down, completely ignoring her.
Leia, who noticed him, raised her head and turned to stare at him. Their eyes both fluttered as they noticed the bags under each other's eyes. A low sigh left Leia's nose, and she averted her gaze from him. "Why... didn't you sleep?"
Adrik glanced at her and his gaze, which held no emotion, assessed her. "Why didn't you sleep?" He questioned her back, and Leia lifted her head to look at him.
Their eyes met, and they stared at each other for a while longer before Adrik finally broke eye contact. He wasn't ready for this.
Steady footsteps resounded and they raised their gazes to see the maids walk in with the shelf trolley that was filled with different dishes.
"Good morning, Supreme Alpha. Good morning, Luna. " The maids said it in unison as they bowed deeply in respect. Adrik nodded at them and they began to arrange the food on the table.
The moment they were done, they took their leave, leaving the two couples to themselves.
Adrik grabbed a piece of bread from one of the plates and effortlessly ate it. He nibbled slowly on it and his gaze became distant.
Leia, who was uncomfortable with the awkward silence, raised her sights to stare at him and subconsciously bit her lower lip. Gosh!! This fucking feels like hell. This was the first time since she stepped into this mansion that Adrik had not spoken to her during breakfast, and it was driving her crazy. It just isn't okay.
A low breath left her lips and she stood up, then moved to sit on the chair closer to him. She turned to face him and began to fiddle with her fingers. "Adrik..." She parted her lips to say something, but Adrik, who cared not one bit, abruptly stood up from the sofa and proceeded out of the dining room, completely ignoring her.
Leia's brow creased in displeasure, and her hand morphed into a fist. She stood up from the chair and walked after him.
When Adrik was about to shut the door of the room, she stepped in and shut the door herself. "We need to talk." She said in a tone that told him that she wouldn't step out of the room until they talked.
A low groan erupted from Adrik's throat, and he squeezed his hands into the pocket of his pants.
Leia bit her lower lip and began to move toward him. The moment she got close to him to touch him, Adrik grabbed her by the wrist and waist and slammed her against the wall. "I said you should LEAVE ME ALONE!" His green eyes glared viciously at her, and Leia did not move but stared emotionlessly at him.
"I'm not going to take this anymore; it's killing me. It's either we talk about this or I die." Her hands that were held on either side of her head balled into a tight fist.
Adrik's brow raised at her words, and he gazed intently at her before laughing at her in contempt. "Get out!" He scowled at her and freed her hand to leave, but Leia, however, grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and covered his lips with hers.
Adrik's body became motionless and he just stood still, letting her kiss him roughly.
Leia smirked against his lips and drew her head back, then stared at his stunned face. "And you think you don't love me anymore?" She folded her arms and Adrik tilted his head to one side, then used his thumb to wipe off his lips.
Leia's face darkened at his action, and she unfolded her arms. "Why did you wipe your lips?" She asked in a tone that held the utmost displeasure.
"You think I let you kiss me after that moron kissed you?" Adrik chuckled softly and shook his head. "Please do me a favor and leave. I need to work." He turned around and walked to the sofa, then sat down and grabbed his laptop from the mini table, beginning to work on it.
Leia's breathing became unsteady and her chest rose and fell in anger. Her hands morphed into a tight fist and, without thinking twice, she stormed over to him and grabbed the laptop from him, carelessly throwing it onto the bed. She then took a seat on his lap and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Adrik's lashes fluttered in confusion, and he narrowed his eyes at her. "What are you tryin-" He was yet to finish his words when Leia slammed her lips against his and roughly kissed him while her hands gently caressed his neck.
Adrik's eyes dilated at her actions, and he proceeded to break the kiss, but she sexually bit his lips, causing Adrik's body to become motionless.
Leia broke away from the kiss when she felt like she had enticed him enough and smirked flirtatiously at him. "Let me see you wipe your lips now.." She seductively bit her lower lip, and before she could anticipate what would happen next, she found her back slammed on the bed with Adrik atop her.
