chapter 31

                      KIARA POV

I couldn't help but smile as I slowly opened my eyes. Finding myself in the warmth of his embrace the softness of the sheets and the gentle sunlight peeking through the curtains created the perfect ambiance.

  Feeling his steady heartbeats against my cheeks reminded me of how lucky I was to have him in my life.

  As I stirred awake, I couldn't help but snuggle a little closer, cherishing the comfort and security that being in his arms brings.

  Unfortunately for me, I couldn't be in bed all day, the time was probably 10 or 11 by now and I had classes by 2 pm. I didn't want him to smell my morning breath. It smells horrible.

  I slowly removed his hands which were attached to my waist, as I was about to stand up he dragged me back to the bed and then tightened his hands around my waist.

  I looked at him, his eyes were still closed, and his long lashes rested peacefully. Now what was I going to do? I was Stark naked and I needed to brush my teeth too. I tried to remove his hands again but it was mission impossible.

  " Just give me a kiss and I will let you go" Jarden whispered with his eyes still closed. Kiss him! Hell no.

  " Mmm".I tried to talk but chose not to. Jarden sighed and then smirked.

  " Come on momma" Now that caught me off guard. It sounded so sexy coming out of his mouth.

  " I haven't brushed my teeth" I said turning my head to the other side.

  " I don't mind" Well duh... I don't mind.

  " Just one kiss then that's all," he said.

  " And besides I haven't brushed my teeth too so we are equal"

  He does know how to get into a woman's heart.

  " Just a peck and that's all"

  " Yh" he murmured before smiling with his eyes still closed.

  Jarden lips are connected with mine, nothing feels better than this right now, he sucks on my lower lips while I suck on his upper one. I almost forgot that I told him just a peck. His tongue tried to gain entrance into my mouth but I quickly redraw from the kiss.

  " Not now," I said before escaping from his embrace.

  I took a long and refreshing bath, then brushed my teeth. After checking the time I saw that it was already noon And I had a class by 2 pm. Thank God I wasn't late so I had some time to spend with Jarden first before I went to class.

  I pour myself a bowl of cereal putting the milk afterwards. I quietly ate from the bowl of cereal and then walked back to my room.

  Jarden was now sleeping on his stomach and wearing grey sweatpants which I just noticed. Suddenly, he shifted a little inhaling a deep breath and turned his body back on his back. My eyes stared at each of every movement he made and my hands worked on feeding me.

  I saw him slowly opening his eyes, adjusting to the brightness of the sun and then looking at me. He scratched his eyes and then looked at me again before smiling.

  " Come here baby girl" he muttered. Nobody told me twice before I dropped my cereal bowl and then walked to meet him.  He was still lying on the bed facing the ceiling then I sat on his crotch resting my hands on his chest.

  I grind on his crotch staring at him to see his reaction. Jarden smirked holding my waist and pushing me more on his bulge that was now visible. I could now feel his huge bulge on my core. I moaned out went Jarden continued to move my waist on his bulge.

  " So when are your plans for today?" He asked not stopping with the movement.

  " Uhm it-it" I tried to talk biting my lips in the process.

  " Uhm what?" He asked smirking. It was so hard for me to talk about this continue. The only thing separating our private parts from touching right now was our clothes. This position was so intense and I was enjoying it.

  " I have classes by 2" I finally replied.

  " Just classes?" He asked then stopped moving my waist on his bulge. Wtf... I quickly continued to grind on him without his help.

  " Hey calm down okay" he said then continued moving my waist with his hands.

  " What's the time?" He asked.

  "1 pm" I quickly said. I just wanted him to stop asking me questions.

  " Skip classes then". As much as I am enjoying this right now and how tempting it was. I could never skip classes and besides we had a test today.

  " I have a test today," I said before standing up from his lap.

  " Did I spoil the mood?" Jarden asked.

  " No no, it's just that it's late already" I checked my wristwatch for the time to see it was already 1:40 pm. I needed to start going to classes now.

  " Come to my apartment when you're done with classes," he said in more of a demanding tone.

  " Okay" I smiled but Jarden frowned.

  " Okay?" He asked. Woah..... I have just the perfect way to tease him.

  " Okay Daddy"

  Jarden eyes turned dark immediately those words came out of my mouth. He groaned then stood up from the bed walking towards me. Oh shit.

  " No Jarden I have an important test today we can't" I said almost instantly. He then stopped at his track.

  " A goodbye kiss then". Jarden knows what he is doing. I know if I kiss Jarden I might end up not going to class at all.

  " Not thank you" I said then quickly ran out from my room.

Phew, what a relief.

AFTER CLASSES.

  I had just finished lectures for the day, feeling a mix of exhaustion and excitement. As I walked towards Jarden's apartment, the thoughts of our last encounter filled my mind making my cheeks flush.

  As I reached Jarden's door, I paused for a moment taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart, I could hear the faint sound of music playing from the inside, a familiar tune that always made me smile. With a gentle knock, I waited eagerly for him to open the door.

  Jarden swung the door open, his face lightening up with a grin when he saw me standing there. The warmth in his eyes made my heart flutter. The way he looked at me made me feel like the most special person in the world.

  I stepped inside, immediately enveloped by the cosy atmosphere in his room. The room was filled with the cosy scent of a vanilla candle. The soft lighting casts a romantic glow, creating an intimate atmosphere. I noticed a collection of books neatly stacked on a shelf, nobody would have thought Jarden was the reading type with these bad-boy vibes.

  We settled into a worn-out couch staring straight at each other speechlessly.  Before he finally asked.

  " How was your test?"

  " Ohh that, it was not that hard but I missed some parts though" I replied.

  " I can teach you where you don't understand though" him teach me? I get he has the brain and all that but we will be able to concentrate. It was like he read my mind then he said.

  " When it comes to studies I don't joke with it and I don't expect my girl to fail while I am here".

  His girl! I need to get used to that. Not me smiling like a fool in front of him.

  " So did you think about me?" He asked, his hands slowly caressing my face.

  " I wish I could say no" I smiled.

  " You wish you could say no?" He moved a hand to my lips, pressing two fingers there, staring, without thinking, I opened my mouth and let his index fingers slip inside and against my teeth. When he grunted quietly, I ran my tongue over his fingertips. He tasted like jelly.

  Jarden pulled back sharply, he looked like he was going to devour me, eyes wild and searching, lips parted, pulse a hammering presence in his neck. And because I wanted to kiss him, I did. I stood on my toes, slid my hands into his hair and pressed my mouth to his.

  A short kiss, another and then he tilted his head, covering my mouth with his. His tongue traced my bottom lip and it felt like instinct to let him taste me.

   We were so lost in our world of intimacy when we suddenly heard a loud knock on the door.

  Startled, we quickly pulled away from each other, our hearts still racing with excitement. My face flushed with anticipation as I glanced at Jarden, who wore a mischievous grin.

  " Who could that be?" I whispered, my voice filled with curiosity.

  Jarden shrugged, a playful glint in his eyes.

  " Well, there's only one way to find out".

  We straightened our clothes and composed ourselves as best as we could, hiding any signs of a passionate encounter. I took a deep breath, my nerves tingling with anticipation, and opened the door.

  To my surprise it was his group of friends, you know, Gerald, harald, Jerry, Patricia and Aliyah. They all were surprised to see me opening the door.

  " What are you doing here?" Harald asked and they all stared at me waiting for my reply. Oh shit.

Kiara think

Think.

  " I came to study with him" I smiled trying to hide the fact that I was lying to their faces.

  " Oh yh, he got the brains" Jerry said breaking the awkward moments.

  " Brainy Jarden," Harald said pushing past me.

   As they all entered the room, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and intrigue.

  " Hey babe, I've missed you" Harald aid forcefully embracing Jarden who looked at him weirdly before struggling to leave his grip.

  I talked with them for a while before walking to Jarden's closet. I needed to take a deep breath because that was so close.

  I closed my eyes before breathing in and out.

  " Wow, so you both are dating now?".
