Let Me Stay The Night

Christina rolled her eyes at him in response. “You always use that excuse!” she protested softly with a pout

“All is fair in love and war” Nathaniel made no attempts to hide his glee after gaining the upper hand.

The two of them were so close to each other that he could feel her breath on his face. Christina couldn’t even tell if it was the alcohol or her anger that made her face burn bright red. “Let go of met It hurts!”

Nathaniel found himself unable to resist her when he heard those words. Fearing that he was actually hurting her, he quickly released his grip on her.

After taking a moment to stabilize herself, Christina glared at him cautiously as though he were a burglar in her house.

Thinking that she had gone to buy him a present, Nathaniel decided to drop the topic and reached his hand out. “All right; let’s put this matter aside for now. Where is it? Give it to me”

“What are you talking about?” Christina asked with a confused frown.

“The present. I saw it,” Nathaniel replied with a snicker. Still trying to put up an act, is she?

Christina massaged her forehead as she explained, “That was a gift I got for Midas.”

The look on Nathaniel’s face changed as soon as he heard that. “You bought another man a present?”

Christina couldn’t help but be amazed by his ability to get jealous at any given moment over anything at all.

The two of them then stood there and stared at each other in complete silence. As Christina had to wake up early for work tomorrow, she decided not to waste any more time arguing with Nathaniel.

“I’m going to bed. The kids aren’t home tonight, so don’t even think about coming into my room.” Christina said as she made her way toward the bedroom

She had just stepped through the door when Nathaniel grabbed her wrist and spun her in circles before pinning her down on the bed.

Christina didn’t dare move a muscle when she felt his warm breath on her face.

Nathaniel then kicked her slippers off and rolled over, pulling Christina into his arms as he said lazily. “I waited over an hour for you, only to find out that you were giving another man a present. I can’t believe you have the audacity to make me sleep in the guest room, Christina! Since when did you become so heartless?”

Christina was physically weaker, so she didn’t even bother resisting because she wouldn’t be able to break free anyway.

All she did was pull her arm out from between them and get into a more comfortable position.
