What're you willing to sacrifice ?
You or your feelings ?
—//—
The sun rose high into the sky and blessed everyone with its warmth. The day was to be a colder one but a certain couple would maybe or maybe not be hiding themselves away in the coziness of their room. Basking in the light and reveling in each others embrace.
Nyx was stuck between both of Erebus's long and muscular arms . His back was turned fitting perfectly into hers while her legs had made way into his own, one between and one over.
As she stirred in her sleep her leg slid up , causing Nyx's breath to hitch. His body heat rising . He shuffled trying to untangle himself from her trying to grab the edge of the bed , but it was out of his reach .
" a king size bed for a king .." he thought the joke making him chuckle a bit before arms pulled him closer , her morning voice a bit more provocative as she whispered it next to his ear
"Settle down " making his heart and mind freak out , he squirmed more causing an annoyed huff and slight glare from Erebus as he sat up.
Removing the only warmth she got from his body , now leaving a cold air.
"I-I'm hungry!" He spoke trying to find something interesting to look at , his stomach on cue however did growl . She laid looking at him with a smirk .
"I can give you something to eat ." She spoke in an alluring voice , tracing her fingers down the opposite side of his waist causing him to flinch and freeze at the same time .
At the words he tried to stand up before that hand had grabbed him as she sat up as well she pulled him to her lap. He covered his face , his body not finding the embarrassment worth hiding as his pale skin tinged with red .
"I'm going to die." He thought as he wanted to hide.
Chuckling a bit , Erebus mind linked Geo.
"Bring food for Nyx , and come to my room."
"Eww no." Geo replied , Erebus felt the eye roll from her but knew she'd listen so didn't bother scolding her . She felt a bit too pleasant for once to do so!
"Geo's going to bring you food , go take a bath."
"W-what ?" He said his thoughts keeping him from focusing , but it seemed today he'd be seeing a whole new side from Erebus as her teasing smiles were taking over his heart as she spoke again with a certain glint in her eye.
"Or do you need my help ? To wash your body?" She spoke eyeing the boy as he backed up , looking his body up and down with a tick of the eyebrow .
"Why is she so hot" he quickly shook his head
"No no , I'm fine without you ! Please stay where you are ." He said before running off to the bathroom and closing the door .
Not as if she hadn't seen it all . But in a way she didn't , respectfully she kept her eyes to his shoulders.
But her mind still drifted past that.
Knock knock
"Come in ." Erebus spoke , Geo walked in . A slight scowl to her face as she scanned Erebus who looked as if she didn't wreak havoc for weeks .
"You seem chipper" she spoke in a fake British accent sarcastically . Erebus nodded in a unamused manner , taking the food and placing it on the coffee table .
Grabbing a strawberry she nibbled at it sitting down on the couch as Geo stood up in front of her.
"I can't say I hate you ... but if I killed him I might ." Erebus spoke , Geo nodded in understanding
"Well , life is all about taking chances. I took one for you and you took another for him but will he take one for you?"
"Are you dr Seuss or something ?" Erebus said with an annoyed look , itching to wipe Geos smile off her face . The girl loved to joke .
"Well I'm just saying " she said with a shrug motion.
"Anyways , so what did you want to talk about because if it's your never declining workload please feel free to do it " Geo said finger guning and adding a wink with her words
"We need to hire more people , especially since most of them are leaving . " Erebus spoke throwing a strawberry at Geos face only for her to catch it in her mouth leaving Erebus to mutter "dog" under her breath
"Yesh I see that." Geo spoke with the whole strawberry in her mouth ,
"Don't you know common decency?" Erebus regretfully asked .
Geo opened her mouth wide showcasing the chewed up food then shook her head.
After swallowing it she spoke
"You need at least five gardeners and four cleaners. Both brothers who tended to it are out because they've been battling illnesses . I remember giving you papers about it . "
"Yes and I already paid off their hospital bills. They can honestly just stay on leave . I'll keep funding them anyways . I have enough money to make the world go round" Erebus responded grabbing another strawberry
"Yes indeed" Geo said tipping back n forth on her heels.
"I'll have papers ready for you to look at . We can hold the interviews Monday next week. You can spend the rest of the week to weekend resting . I can manage that much. "
Nodding in agreement knowing damn well by Sunday she'd have to get back on track , Erebus would leave her trust in Geo as unbelievably as she did all the time .
Geo turned around about to walk out but turned back around ,
"Use protection "'she said earning a metal tray to -almost- the head as it clanged she ran out of the room leaving a fuming Erebus behind.
Nyx came out of the room surprised by the noise .
"Was that Geo?" He asked sitting down in the couch , consciously on the other side away from Erebus.
Noting the obvious distance she didn't mind . He needed space , she could handle that. She did start off strong teasing him to death.
She couldn't help it thought , she wanted to devour him in many ways .
"Yep, go ahead and take your time eating ." She answered watching him as his beautiful mismatched eyes danced around the food thinking about which one he wanted first .
Mary's to die for fluffy eggs with spinach that just melt in your mouth , the thickest slice of french toast with lots of whip cream and strawberries, a soft yet bouncy bagel with the smoothest cream cheese or soup .
* the above is obviously a exaggerated viewpoint of Nyx's feelings towards food.
Chuckling at the sight of the boy shoving his mouth full , Erebus came closer , Nyx's warning signals going off as he froze up
She leaned closely to his French toast he held , taking a small bite and licking her lips , before using her middle finger to swipe his lips and lick the tip of her finger which held some whip cream on it.
He stared in shock, his mouth must've been hanging because he was appalled . If it was possible he felt as if his face would melt off.
" I don't think I can handler her." He declared .
