'Don't go downstairs' the words played in Arissa's mind.
Is he ready to save her now from the stress of finding a new person or he is just trying to save her from who he thinks she is hiding away?
This stranger is just something else!
Arissa opened her mouth to say something but before a word would come forth, he picked her up from the floor with his hands around her waist, and out of instinct, she wrapped her legs around his hips.
"You asked for this," he said in his smoky voice before walking to the bed, and Arissa couldn't get why he suddenly just changed his mind.
He laid her on the bed as softly as he could before staring down at her. And Arissa also looked up at him but with both surprise and curiosity.
Nicklaus breathed out and his eyes carelessly roamed around her body then, his eyes went back to her face, " this would be a hard pleasure Arissa. Can you handle it?" he asked her unlike him because he seems to care if she gets hurt or not.
