Hellbound With You

Chapter 160 Nightmare

Abi couldn't take her eyes off Alex. That look of pain mixed with pleasure and his uninhibited expressions were so intense that Abi was mesmerized. She felt herself get hot just by watching the look on his face.

Alex's hand on her nape moved to her face as he gazed up, still breathing heavily. He caressed her cheek with the back of his fingers before he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

Seeing that Abi was in a daze, he couldn't help but smile inwardly. He couldn't believe what he just did and… even worse was that he couldn't get enough of it. He wanted her!

Heaving another deep breath, Alex donned his robe and lifted her up.

"My little brother is fine now. So go and get some rest now," he said as he walked towards the stairs with her in his arms.

After some time, Abi finally came back to her senses and stared at him.

"I didn't know that… you can tame the l-little big monster yourself," she suddenly said and Alex halted in his tracks for a moment.

"I usually can't. Tonight was an exception, probably because you were kissing me," he unexpectedly answered her straightforwardly, causing Abi's cheeks to burn again.

By this time, the man had entered her room and placed her on the bed. He then tucked her in before he left to get cleaned up.

When he came back, Alex immediately asked her about her remaining 15 requests.

Abi peeked at him from her notebook.

"Hmm… let's stay up all night," she said and Alex raised a brow.

"And what would we do to stay up?" he asked. There was hint of mischief in his voice.

"Hmm… anything? Shall we take turns to say what we want to do to keep us awake? Or should we have a movie marathon?"

Alex finally smirked. "Sure, staying up all night would be interesting. I have a lot of ideas that could make us stay awake, all night long. But not tonight, little fruit… you must rest early tonight."

Abi pursed her lips. She scanned at her list and it was too bad because all the remaining things on her list couldn't be done inside a room.

"I… I will tell you the requests tomorrow. Don't worry, we don't need to go anywhere far this time." She smiled and she closed her notebook.

"Fine, now go to sleep."

Abi stared at him for a while until she finally drifted to sleep. Alex didn't leave her room. He simply stood up, turned the light off and walked towards her window. The moon was shining brightly that night.

Alex's eyes were focused on the dark empty space, lost in his thoughts again. He stood there for an immeasurable amount of time, as if he had turned into a motionless statue.

Hours had gone by before he finally moved from his spot. His eyes fell on the girl's bed but as he was about to head over, he suddenly paused, as if something- a passing thought, perhaps - stopped him. The next moment, he silently walked towards the door. He pulled the door open and was about to step out when he heard Abi groaning in her sleep. He scowled as he looked at her.

Seeing that she was moving around, he walked closer and turned on the bedside lamp. He saw her sweating and her brows were creased so tightly.

"Abigail," he called out softly. It was clear that she was having a nightmare.

He stretched out his hand and held her arms as he tried to wake her up.

"Abigail!" he called out again but the girl just thrashed on the bed as she gasped. Alex's heartbeat began to beat wildly in panic. "Abigail, wake up!"

Gladly, the girl's eyes finally opened, her eyes wide as she gasped for air.

"Abigail, are you alright?" he asked, his tone revealing his panic. Abi's eyes slowly moved from the ceiling to Alex. She was dazed for a moment before she suddenly reached out and teared up a little.

Alex hugged her tight. "What's wrong? A nightmare?" he asked softly as he caressed her head, trying to calm her down.

Abi just nodded but her body started to shiver slightly. Alex grip on her tightened. He could tell that she was terrified. What kind of nightmare did she have to make her react like this?

"It's okay, don't be scared. I'm right here," he whispered as he caressed her gently. He didn't really know what to do. He had never coaxed anyone in his life. He used to not even care at all even when someone he knew was dying before his eyes. He used to just watch heartlessly because he didn't feel anything at all. But now, here he was panicking at the slightest thing that happened to this girl.

He forced himself to think and he was glad that he immediately remembered all the things that Abi did to him to calm him down. He remembered how she always calmed him down with her embrace, so he copied her and did the same. He slowly shook his head as he thought about all these things that he was now doing that he never thought he would ever do for anyone, not even for himself.

Abi's shivering frame slowly calmed down as she came back to her senses. She heard Alex's soft voice and felt his gentle caress and the fear in her heart slowly subsided. She never had a nightmare as horrifying as the one she just had. And she didn't know why but it felt so real. This was the first time Alex appeared in her dreams, but it didn't turn out to be a dream; it was a nightmare so terrifying that she was afraid to sleep again. Why did she have such a nightmare? Why did Alex look like that in her dream?

She felt so terrified even though she knew that it was just a nightmare and that it wasn't real.
