Destroy Me Gently:Ex-Enemy Becomes My Lover!-Chapter 137: Confession letters

**OLIVER WEST **

My eyes fluttered close when he brushed a soft kiss on my neck, sending a fluttery jolt to my stomach.

"I love you Ollie " He whispered in between kisses that snatched the breath out of me. It felt surreal, it was magical, a delicious dream I didn’t ever want to wake up from.

Maybe it was his seductive voice as he said those words, or perhaps the gentle way his fingers worked on my skin, the only thing I was sure of was that I was long gone.

I was a bunch of nervous mess inside I sure as hell didn’t know what I was doing when I allowed my palms to caress the taut skin of his chest, the only thing I could be sure of was that, I didn’t want this to stop, I needed this as badly as I needed my next breath.

He pulled away, but it was only for a moment as his shirt came off his head, giving me a full view of his chest and abs. He was sizzling hot!

My mouth went totally dry like a fish out of water. I was totally at loss for words, my fingers ached to caress the toned skin.

"See something you like ?" He winked at me, the smugness in his tone and I felt the blush creeping up to my neck.

I couldn’t think of a reply when he started to shower my face with soft kisses that made me feel weak, his fingers toyed with the material of my T-shirt as our gazes met, It registered at the back of my mind that we were doing this.

I touched his shoulders, my palms tingling from the contact as I kissed him fully on the lips, pulling away when we were both breathless.

"Yes," I responded to his earlier question.

"How about you also see something that you like ?" I whispered and started to take off my oversized shirt, I couldn’t believe those words left my mouth. When my shyness and reservation disappeared to, I couldn’t tell, but it could remain lost forever!

A low sound escaped my mouth, I was beginning to feel dizzy, perhaps it was the effects of the drugs kicking in, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t bear.

There was something in his gaze that recognized it to be indecision, his next statement confirmed that I was right.

"We can’t do this " He pulled away gently, mumbling some words too low for me to hear.

Disappointment weighed down heavily on my chest, why was he withdrawing?

He had clearly said that he loved me, and even though he hadn’t spoken it, his gaze clearly told me as much, a sudden thought came to mind, and I blurted without thinking.

"Because there’s no protection?" The moment the words left my mouth, I wanted to crawl under the bed and hide. Kieran just stared at me with this amused expression that made me want to disappear completely.

"No, it’s not because of protection." To my utter mortification, he picked up his shirt and pulled it back on. "It’s because you’re injured. You still need to rest, remember the doc’s words? We can’t have you unconscious again."

His tone was casual, but I could see laughter dancing in his eyes. I felt like the world’s biggest idiot.

Ugh.

This felt like a walk of shame!!

I resisted the urge to bury my face in my hands. Why was I so embarrassing? I always managed to make a fool of myself at the worst possible moments.

I would have hidden under the covers, but he was still watching me with that infuriatingly amused look.

"Though if we were doing it, I wouldn’t use protection anyway." He raised both eyebrows with a wicked grin. "But it’s nice to see you were getting prepared for the future."

I glared at him and grabbed a pillow, aiming for his smug face. Of course, he caught it easily, that insufferable smile still plastered across his face.

"Tell me, for how long have you been anticipating the both of us having sex? horny much ?" He drawled

I knew he was only joking around with those words but that didn’t stop me from flushing to the roots of my hair.

"Oh just shut up! I’m not horny!" I groaned and he laughed.

How could he sit so completely at ease while I was still squirming inside?

This bastard. Or maybe it’s because it wasn’t his first time so he wouldn’t understand how it felt to be thwarted even for my own good!

I didn’t beg him to think on my behalf, and I’m definitely not horny!

"You never told me " He spoke quietly, his brows creased slightly.

I blinked in confusion. "Tell you what?" I had to keep the bite from my voice, I couldn’t make it too obvious that I was upset.

"That you do love me, you never said it back to me "

I almost rolled my eyes but didn’t when I saw the serious expression he had on his face. I had thought he wanted to talk about something really big. Like continuing where we left off??! More important things like that!

Besides, he should already know that I do love him with everything I have.

Fate was granting me a chance for payback, how could I not take it?

"Goodnight Kieran, I’m sleeping," I yawned, but it wasn’t entirely fake. The medicines were making me drowsy.

Before I could even blink, Kieran had climbed on top of me again, like some overgrown cat

"Kieran!"

He wasn’t even touching me, but my body squirmed, part anxious and excitement. "What are you doing?"

He smirked, leaning down so close his hair brushed my forehead. "Making you confess."

"Confess what?! I told you I’m sleeping!" I scoffed.

"That you love me." His grin widened as he grasped my jaw lightly, wicked and far too pleased with himself.

Heat rushed up my neck. "No way. I’m not saying it." If we had sex, I may have considered it. I thought smugly.

No. What’s wrong with me?!!!

Were the pain killers mixed with aphrodisiac or something?

"Oh really?" His voice dropped into that dangerous playful tone that never meant anything good for me. "Then I’ll just have to persuade you."

Before I could ask what that meant, he lifted his hand.

"NO—!" I nearly launched off the bed, eyes wide. "KIERAN! I’M STILL INJURED! I’M A PATIENT!!"

He froze dramatically, then chuckled, as though he was still considering it. He lowered his hand, but pulled me back to the bed and his arms wrapped around me. And then, I felt his breath on my neck.

"You love me, don’t you?"

Dressed in a simple t-shirt and grey jeans, I hurried to the stand to grab my backpack.

I was returning to school for the first time since my accident and I didn’t know why, but I was feeling very nervous.

That feeling as if I was starting a new school.

I heard the sound footsteps before the door pushed open and Kieran walked inside.

"You ready?"

I nodded, even though I knew I could never be.

I meant, who the hell could ever be ready for school? Not me.

A quiet sigh escaped my lips. I had already decided to give up this attitude, I should really put my all into the upcoming examinations, to meet up with Kieran and not drag him down with me simply because he wants us to be together.

I saw him bend to pick up something from the floor.

It was my sketchbook.

He flipped it open casually, humming as his eyes ran across the pages. My heart slammed hard against my ribs. Panic shot through me when I realized which sketchbook it was.

"Give me that!" I lunged forward, snatching it from his hands like it was a loaded gun.

Kieran just raised his brows, his lips twitching, clearly amused at my overreaction. "Why so nervous, Ollie? Hiding state secrets in here?"

Heat climbed rapidly up my neck. "It’s nothing! Just... random stuff."

He leaned closer, that devilish grin spreading slow across his face. "Random, huh? Because unless my eyes are lying, someone took the liberty of sketching a very... private subject of my anatomy."

My face exploded in flames. "Shut up!" I hissed, hugging the sketchbook to my chest like a lifeline.

He tilted his head, smirk widening. "Relax. I’ve already seen it before—back when you were admitted in the hospital, remember?" His voice dropped lower, playful and wicked. "Though honestly... you could’ve drawn it a little bigger to make it more accurate."

My jaw dropped. "Kieran!"

"At least you got the slight curve right." His tone was mocking now.

I smacked his chest with the book, would he not be satisfied until I died of embarrassment?! "Oh my God. Shut up! Shut up!"

Instead of shutting up, he leaned down, his voice brushing my ear in a low whisper that made me shiver. "If you ever need a reference model again, I’ll be happy to pose. Free of charge."

I smacked his arm harder, mortified. "You’re impossible!"

"Don’t worry," he said, still grinning, "your secret obsession is safe with me. But just so you know..." His eyes glittered with mischief, "Just remember what I said, next time, make sure you get the size right. Wouldn’t want you underselling me."

He laughed so hard I wanted to hit him with the sketchbook again. Instead, I stormed past him, muttering, "I’m leaving you!" while his chuckles chased me out the door, all the way downstairs.

I waved goodbye to his mom who stared at us with a wide smile spread across her cheeks.

"Stay safe kids! Take care of him, Kieran!" She called out to us, making me cringe. She was becoming just as attentive as my mom.

Kieran drove us to school, the moment I stepped out of the car, I was engulfed in a suffocating hug.

"Welcome back best friend!" William yelled and much to my surprise, he broke down in dramatic tears.

"Do you know how bad it was over here without you? There was no one who could listen to my ramblings as you do! I’m really glad you could come back to school." he sniffed.

That was the only thing he missed me for?

Really?
