Semua Bab The Boy In His Bed Is A Girl : Bab 41 - Bab 50

RHYDAR I really, really don't like that look on her face. Ever since this morning when we had breakfast together, she's been sneaking glances at me, thinking I wouldn't notice. She forgets that I notice everything. I'm obsessed enough to count every single breath she takes.And I hate that I can't tell what she's thinking. She seemed to have cracked the code overnight. Every time I get close to hearing her thoughts, she suddenly thinks about the most disgusting things or imagines static noise.And due to this new strategy of hers, I have a massive headache right now."Kane, eyes on the board," the instructor, an old man, grits out, his eyes flashing silver. I barely pay any attention to him, my gaze is fixed on Nova. I don't want to ever get used to not being able to read her fucking mind. It's only been a few hours, but I'm already losing my mind."Creed," I hiss, and she stiffens, her pen halting for a fraction of a second.Nova refuses to look me in the eye."Eyes on the board

NOVA My brain has melted into a puddle at my feet. It shouldn't make sense that I'm enjoying the way Rhydar's lips move against mine. Goddess, I can feel him everywhere. He's literally in my bloodstream. And I want more.He kisses me harder, drawing strangled moans from my lips as my hands nestle around his head, my fingers shamelessly exploring the wavy strands of hair at the back of his head.Rhydar holts me up effortlessly.He’s surprisingly considerate of my bruised-up body. But I don't care about that right now. All I care about is the sensual kisses he's trailing along my neck. I'm a moaning mess at this point, my eyes closed in ecstasy.But it's not enough. I need him so bad.Logical me has officially clocked out.A loud pounding at the door has me jerking away from him, my chest heaving. My eyes are wide, my heart racing. It feels like I just had a freaking out of body experience. No, that wouldn't be true because I know I felt it. Down to my frigging toes."Who the fuc

RHYDAR Nova is staring at something I can't see, her eyes wide and wet. And that makes me uncomfortable on all grounds.My little mouse has a mouth that never shuts and a tongue sharp enough to draw blood even without fangs, and now she's...crying.I freeze.It's the first time she isn't snarling at me or rolling those beautiful eyes. She just collapses into herself, tears streaming down her face.And I...I'm pathetic enough to pull her against me, let her soak my shirt, her face buried against my chest.Her sobs are ugly, raw, and unpolished. The kind you can't fake. And somehow, it makes my chest ache. Is it because of the bond? I can't help but wonder. Or maybe I have fallen farther than I think.My fingers find her hair, stroking the short strands as if I'm capable of calming anyone.I should let her cry alone. But I don't.Director Astoria's voice claws through my skull again: 'Your father is rallying the Council. If they agree, they'll drag you back under his leash. He's

NOVA "I can literally see the wheels in your head spinning," Rhydar tells me from his position on the couch. A little bit of color has returned to his face, but he still doesn't look okay.Mina left thirty minutes ago, and I am literally spiraling into a web of frustration and desperation."You're afraid," Rhydar suddenly croaks, the sound of his deep voice startling me. He sounds awfully serious for once.I blink at him, trying not to show how rattled I am."You don't have to pretend, little mouse. Not with me," he tells me, his gaze locked on mine."Why do you assume that I'm afraid? You think I'm scared of you? If so, I'd have you know that I am not—""No," he utters softly, shifting slightly on the couch with a tiny wince."You're terrified of your feelings," he goes on to say, and I blink furiously, my stomach tightening.He's right.The realization slams into me at full force.I'm terrified of what I feel for him. Hell, I'd seen the visions. He stabbed my brother. He...ki

RHYDAR I've been pacing outside the Director's office for what feels like hours. Back and forth, like a caged animal.I shouldn't care this much. I shouldn't feel my chest knotting with every tick of the clock, imagining what they're saying to her in there. What they might do to her.When the door finally clicks open, I nearly lunge forward. Nova steps out, her expression steady, her lips curved in that familiar maddening little smile."I'm fine," she says, brushing off the tension like it's nothing. "It was only an official warning. Because of...Diana."Annoyance sinks into me. Diana who thought she could lay a hand on Nova and ended up getting what she deserved. If anything, Nova should've gotten compensation, not a damn warning.But her smile...fuck me. I forget to breathe for a second. She looks at me, her eyes glinting. My muse.The words I'd prepared vanish. Instead, I wordlessly just stare at her.Then my body moves before my brain catches up. I curl my fingers around her
