Chapter 43
Waking up beside Ruby, the sunrise was already starting to set.
“Damn it!” Jaxon cursed as he slowly sat up from the bed. He overslept. He turned his head to look at the table clock on top of the drawer near his bedside. It was almost 8.
He looked around the room before looking at the woman who was curled up beside him. Sleeping so soundly.
“So peaceful” he murmured as he found himself watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful.
He looked at the time yet again and calculated the number of hours that he slept. 10 hours. He had never slept that long in his life, except when he was a baby of course.
Jaxon carefully got out of bed as he did not want to wake her up. He was late for work.
Striding to the shower, he had his bath, before stepping out. Ruby was still sleeping.
He took a glance at her, before walking into the closet to dress up.
Dressed in a three-piece suit, Jaxon is all set to leave. Ruby was still asleep.
He walked over to the bed and he stared at her, his eyes darted to her lips and he was reminded of the kiss they shared last night.
Thank God he controlled himself because he almost fucked her right there as they were on the floor.
Why did he even do that? He was meant to push her away the moment her lips landed on his lips. But he couldn’t do that. At least he enjoyed it.
What am I going to do with her? Jaxon asked himself as he kept on staring at her.
She was a distraction that he wanted very far from him. What happened between them was something he would never do again, despite he wanted to pounce on her and fuck her. But he restrained himself.
He moved his hand to touch her face but he paused midway, clenching his fists as he turned to leave. He walked out of the room, wanting to get to work immediately, which would serve as a distraction from thinking about Ruby.
…..
Ruby groaned as she rolled on the bed, she yawned loudly as her eyes fluttered open, the lights from the curtains hitting her eyes.
Slowly, everything that happened between her and Jaxon resurfaced back and she found herself sitting up from the bed as she rested against the headboard.
Ruby’s hands moved to her lips which she caressed slowly. That was one hell of a hot kiss. Damn! Jaxon was such a good and dominant kisser.
Speaking of Jaxon! She quickly looked at the other side of the bed, but he was not there. She clearly remembered them sleeping together, but he had left.
Smiling to herself, she got out of bed. There was no sign of Jaxon around, which only meant that he left for work. She quickly got out o bed as she arranged the room, picking up the empty bottle and cups as she made her way out.
Discarding the bottle in the trash, Ruby went to the kitchen. She placed the cups in the sink and made her way to get a glass of milk for herself.
She just finished drinking the milk when her eyes caught something.
It was a note.
Curiously, she picked up the note. It was from Jaxon. It said he made breakfast and kept hers in the fridge.
“Oh my goodness” Ruby gasped as her cheeks turned crimson red. JAXON FUCKING MADE HER BREAKFAST.
It was not the first time he was making her food, but this time just felt different.
She felt butterflies churn in her stomach as she opened the fridge to find her breakfast. He made her sandwiches. The bread was not yet toasted, that was her work. Her eyes then landed on the smoothie.
Ruby was beyond happy as she grabbed her breakfast. She was going to eat with so much relish. Placing the sandwich on a plate, she ran upstairs to quickly brush her teeth, before coming back down.
