Chapter 44 Naked in Each Other’s Arms
Celeste hinged at Mason, but as he lodged, they both toppled onto the bed, with Celeste ending up on top of him.
The two of them were incredibly close, and Mason, afraid of hurting Celeste, mstinctively placed his hand around her waist to protect her.
Their breaths intertwine with only a single towel separating them.
Mason’s huisdsome face was in close, his perfectly sculpted features and deep, captivating eyes drawing her in.
Celeste still remembered the first time she met Mason. It was in a dark alley where he had been gravely injured and on the run. He had jumped out, pressing a knife to her throat, demanding the save him.
Back then Celeste had been a middle schooler, living in the countryside. Her distant relatives barely gave her any money to survive. She had been menting a tiny room when she carried the unconscious Mason back to ufety.
That was when the first fell for hum
even more striking. N
No matter how
Over the years, Mason had grown into his looks even more, his sharp features and strong brow making him even more many times she saw him, her heart would still skip a beat,
Falling for someone was easy, but forgetting them was impossibly hard-
Mason’s eyes were deep, and as he gazed at Celeste, he slowly lifted his head, inching toward her lips for a kiss.
Celeste inapped back to reality and quickly jumped up, kicking Mason off the bed and onto the Bor
She wasn’t gentle about it either. Mason climbed back up, scowling, “When did you get so strong?” “When you’re defending yourself, strength comes naturally,” Celeste quipped.
Mason
Defending herself? What did she think he was going to do!
Celeste buried herself under the blanket, deciding not to speak to Mason anymore. She was worried his bad energy might rub off on her
As if things couldn’t get worse, the blow dryer breaking wasn’t the last straw–the room’s air conditioning cut out as well
Celestes undergarments still weren’t dry, so there was nothing she could wear
The two of them sat there in silence, with nothing to do. Even the TV wasn’t working due to the storm. By nightfall, the rain still hadn’t let up, and word came that a landslide had blocked the roads. It looked like they wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon.
Later that evening, Celeste decided to just go to sleep. To her annoyance, Mason climbed into bed as well. “Gn off!” Celeste kicked at him, but Mason caught her ankle with a firm yet gentle grip. Mason’s touch was gentle, his hand grazing Celeste’s skin, sending an involuntary shiver through her body
‘s too cold outside. I just sleep here. Don’t worry, I won’t try anything.”
“Go cuddle with your little girlfriend. Why not stay with her? Celeste spat, clearly imitated.
Mason chuckled and moved closer. “Why do you sound so jealous? Haven’t had enough of it yet?”
Im not jealous!”
“I know you’re not. Let me hold you for a bit, will you I haven’t slept properly in days. His voice was low, tired, as he reached out to embrace her. He had spent the entire previous night outside Celeste’s apartment, without sleeping at all.
“Keep dreaming!” Celeste pushed him away but didn’t kick him out of bed.
Her mind was a mess, full of frustration and confusion.
Fine, it was Mason who had booked the room, so she decided to let him stay. But if he even tried to touch her, she swore he’d be dead.
With those thoughts in mind, Celeste eventually drifted off to sleep.
When she woke the next morning, something felt off. She reached out, her hand brushing against something unexpected
Her eyes shot open, and she realized the had somehow ended up wrapped around Mason!
Both of their towels had fallen off during the night, leaving them completely naked. Mason’s arm was draped over her, and her hand was on his waist.
To make matters worse, she could feel the unistakable pressure of his arousal against her thigh
“Mason” she screamed, kicking at him with full force, but Mason had been prepared this time and dodged her attack.
“What’s your problemat”
Mason who had been awake for a while now, had been enjoying the peaceful moment.
The rain had finally stopped, and today seemed like it would be a beautiful day.
“You climbed into my arms last night. It must’ve been too cold.”
“No way!”
“Take a look at where you’re sleeping”

Celeste glanced around and realized she had indeed shifted over to his side of the bed during the night.
She cleared her throat, trying to save face. “Move. I’m getting up.”
She quickly got out of bed and hurried to wash up. Her clothes had dried overnight, so the put on her outfit from the day before “I’ve called for a driver to come pick us up. We can head back together.”
Celeste considered her options. Her motorcycle was broken, her phone was still dead, and getting a free ride didn’t sound bad.
“Fine”

“By the way, is your p
Moron nodded. “Yeah”
“Then why didn’t you use in yesterday?”
If he had, they wouldn’t have had to spend the night together.
Mason shrugged. “You didn’t ask, and there was no signal yesterday,”
Celeste…
She had assumed Mason’s phone was also waterlogged, but now she realized the only thing waterlogged was her brain.
Mason went into the bathroom to shower agam, and though he had planned on taking care of certain urges, Celeste kept knocking on the door, rushing him.
And she said he was more of a hassle than a girl.
He sighed, annoyed that she had caused the problem but wouldn’t let him fix it
When he came out, still wrapped in nothing but a towel, he headed for the door.
“You’re leaving like that?” Celeste asked, stunned.
Mason just opened the door and came back with two shopping bags filled with clothes.
The driver had delivered them.
Mason tossed one of the bags to Celeste. “Here, change.*
Celeste…
After spending the night with Mason, she felt like she was losing her edge. If he had mentioned the clothes earlier, she wouldn’t have bothered putting on her old outfit.
Although Celeste’s racing suit had dried, wearing it outside still felt a bit odd and out of place.
She quickly changed in the bathroom, pleasantly surprised to find that the bag included underwear in her exact size.
did Mason know her size so well?
When she came out, Mason had already changed into his usual suit. He looked as sharp as ever, his business like demeanor intact.
But when her eyes drifted downward, she was caught off guard.
Was his suit too tight, or had he gotten excited again! Because it certainly looked like it
