Chapter 0503


    Clint gave me his word as a Guardian. Again.


    This time it was about wanting to kiss me. | wish it didn’t make my heart flutter, but it did. | still hardened my heart and told him,


    basically, that | didn’t believe. him, until he gave me his word. After that, all | could think about was kissing him. again.


    So, before he left for the night, | did.


    Now, as |y in bed, | want nothing more than to text him and go to the roof with him. But what if he thinks that kiss gives him an


    opening to push for more. I’m not ready for that, and | still don’t trust himpletely. At least not in a rtionship. As a Guardian


    and as my trainer, | trust him implicitly.


    I go sit by my window, opening it to smell the night air, when it urs to me. | don’t need to text him to sleep on the roof. | can


    just do it. And secretly, | know I''ll be able to sleep because the nkets will smell like him.


    | climb out of my window, closing the window behind me before | begin to shimmy over to the where | can get on the roof. I''m


    almost there, when Clint slides down and nearly scares me off the ledge I’m standing on. He quickly grabs. me, pulling me to him


    and covering my mouth to hide my scream.


    “What are you doing?” He asks me severely.


    “What are you doing?” | ask. | didn’t text him and the only reason he would be here is if he wereing to get me.


    He holds up his hand and it has my clothes in it. “Returning your clothes and checking to see if you were able to fall asleep


    tonight, since | didn’t hear from you.”


    “Oh.”


    He’s still holding on to me and | can’t move without the risk of falling.


    “And what were you doing?” He asks me again.


    “| was going to the roof.” | say. My hands are pressed against his chest, and | can feel his muscles under my hands. It’s taking


    too much effort not to run my hands. over his chest. His heat is permeating my skimpy night clothes and | can feel the effect


    being this close to him is having on me.


    “Why didn’t you text me?”

    “Can we get off the ledge?” | ask, wanting to put some space between us. His apple pie scent is starting to make my brain short


    circuit.


    “As soon as you answer my question.” He says and | look up at him. His eyes are. intense on mine, his mouth is barely a breath


    away and | can’t help but look at his lips. | know they are soft and warm, and they do things to my body that I’ve never felt before.


    “| didn’t want you to think that just because | kissed you that | was going to sleep with you.” | whisper yell at him and even | can


    hear the aggressive tone of my voice.


    He looks at me for a moment, waiting for, what | don’t know. But | refuse to make eye contact. My cheeks are burning with my


    statement. | stare at a point just below his eyes.


    “You''ve been very clear about not wanting to have sex with me, Lily. And | don’t force women into sex.”


    When | finally look up, | can’t tell if he’s irritated with me or amused by me.


    “Come on. Let''s get to the roof so we can both get some sleep.”


    When we get there, he hands me my clothes. | set them aside to take back in the morning and help him set up the nkets. | sit


    down and wait for him toy down. He sits beside me. “What?” He asks.


    “I''m waiting for you toy down so | cany on your chest.” | say, as if this is the most obvious thing in the world. It’s how we’ve


    slept every night.


    “Can | get one more kiss before bed?” He asks me, leaning in and giving me such a smoldering look that heat slides south,


    warming my core.


    “| don’t think that’s a good idea.” | say, my voice more breathless than | would like.


    “Afraid you might jump my bones?” He asks, wagging his eyebrows.


    “Are you always this arrogant?”


    “Confident.” He says.


    When | don’t move forward, he sighs. “I tell you what. I’lly back and if you want to make my night and put a happy smile on my


    face before | go to sleep, you can give me another kiss. You''ll be on top, so it will all be on you how long or how deep the kiss


    gets. If not, I''ll still sleep, | just won’t be as happy.” He says beforeying down, putting his hands behind his head and watching
