Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 703 - Seven Hundred And Three: Be Comfortable In The Lions Den

The third point of view:

Ailee was lost in her own world and didn't get to see the small smirk that tugged Neon's lips to the side. He had intentionally kissed her at the side of the lips and pretended to be oblivious afterward.?Although while at it, he had felt the great urge to just move his lips a little closer and claim her lips.

Thankfully, he had been able to control himself on time else Ailee would have run away from him by now and their relationship ruined. Neon has come to peace with the fact that Ailee hadn't realized her feelings for him. He refused to believe she felt nothing for him and just hadn't admitted the feelings to herself. So he was going to stir up those feelings in hef before he lost his chance. Forever.

"I think Allen is jealous of our relationship," She suddenly announced and he sighed inwardly. If only she realized the ambiguity in her comment, what kind of relationship do they have?

However, like the fool he always pretended to be, Neon simply asked, "Really?"

"Yeah," She said and then pulsed her lips which made him gulp. If only she knew how much the sight of her lips tortured him, "Perhaps he feels neglected because we spent too much time?"

Neon released a series of curses inwardly, having realized where this was heading. Yet he still said, "You think we should ask him to hang out with us tomorrow morning,"

"No," she shook her head, "Allen is a very proud person and would reject the offer without a second thought. Moreover, there's a ninety-nine percent chance that he would reject the offer once he sees you,"

"Well, damn the bastard," Neon cursed of course, in his mind. He didn't want to know what Ailee thought of him if he cursed her twin right in front of her. As much as they were, Allen had a much tighter bond with her and she wouldn't appreciate that.

"Of course, he would," he could only concede to every one of her words.

"Seriously," Ailee sighed, "I don't know what the hell is wrong with the both of you. Didn't they say only fellow women can't survive living with one another and men are the cooler ones? However, I'm beginning to wonder if the both of you are co-wives?"

At that comment, Neon choked on his food and as expected, Ailee was the one running to his rescue.

"Here," She handed a glass of water to him from the jar on his nightstand and he took it from her,?gulping the whole thing.

Because his hands were shaky, his movement was sloppy and some of the water dripped down the corner of his mouth. Call it instinct or something, but Ailee leaned forward and began to wipe it with her hand since she couldn't grab a tissue or a handkerchief.

Neon was still recovering from his coughing fit when someone was rubbing his back while the other wiped the side of his mouth, only to then brush her thumb across his lower lip and that caused him to shiver. He then looked up and stared into her eyes with intensity, does she know what she's doing to him?

It was an innocent act. Ailee didn't mean to paint the wrong picture, however, when her eyes connected with his eyes, her hand froze and she forgot to breathe.

The passion in that blue eyes of his made her gulp and her body shiver with an unexplainable emotion. What the hell was wrong with her?

"Hey!" Ailee suddenly shoved his face away, "Be responsible for once! Do I have to always take care of you?!" She scolded him which took Neon by surprise. He almost thought that for a moment that there was a connection between them. Damn that connection!

Ailee went back to lying down on the bed yet her heart was in great turmoil. What the hell just happened out there? Also, why was that boy's lips incredibly soft? Gosh, this was driving her crazy. At this rate, she might have to go see a therapist soon.

What the hell was wrong with her?! Ailee wanted to kick and thrash around on the bed, however, she couldn't do it with Neon around. So she just sighed and closed her eyes.

Neon was thankful she didn't try anything else because he didn't know how much longer he could hold himself back. So he enjoyed the silence she gave him and finished the rest of his food.

"I'm done…." He trailed off when he found Ailee sleeping peacefully on his bed.

Neon put the tray on the floor and got in bed with Ailee. With his head propped up, he stared at the girl sleeping without a care.

"How could you be so comfortable in the lion's den?" Neon murmured, his hand reaching out to caress her face.

The scene reminded him of that time when they were young and he would sneak into her bed at night. He chuckled at the memory, those were good times.

Now, he couldn't even tell if Reina and Niklaus would even accept his relationship with their daughter. After all, he was that woman's son, the one who almost tried to kill her. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

However, that would be for later. Neon was going to seize every chance he had with Ailee and until he was sure she had feelings for him, he would then deal with the issue of her parents - the couples who had raised him as if he was his.

Neon looked down again and this time Ailee's lush lips came into view. God, he was going to die from a boner. As much as he wanted to steal a kiss from her, he would not take advantage of her while she was asleep.

So he simply scooped her into his arms and carried her off the bed and left for her room. Neon made sure to tuck her in properly before he kissed her goodnight on the forehead and left the room.

Unfortunately, as soon as Neon locked the door, for him to turn around, he bumped right into Allen.
