Chapter 192 Don't Ruin The Moment [Bonus Chapter]
Nix's lips gaped open at her request. If he did this, there was no going back, he would feel naked and without a backbone.
"Do you trust me?" He began, heaving a sigh, going on one knee, holding onto her hand.
Lumina's brow raised to his question. She knew what he meant and that was something even she couldn't quite place.
"I don't know, not while you are so secretive." She responded, looking away from him so he couldn't see the hurt in her eyes.
Nix smiled at her answer, knowing that was the best she could give to him. It was for the best.
This felt like he was a superhero and she was the lover of such a hero. That sort of combination was the recipe for disaster when it came to the other captured about an attachment to the hero.
"For your safety, it's best you know who I am currently and not my past." He held her gaze.
Lumina's mood dropped at his words, there was a part of her that had expected this, but a little part of her was reluctant to believe he wouldn't put enough faith in her.
"Is this because you think I would spill?" Lumina pulled him so he was forced to his second knee.
Nix was shocked by how sporadic her actions were.
"Nix, don't look at me like that," she pleaded, her eyes brimming with tears.
Immediately this was noticed, Nix looked away.
'Oh, come on!' Nix grimaced at the slight display of tears he could see from the corner of his eyes.
Forcing his gaze on the table by his side, he shook his head at her attempt to guilt trap him.
"I would never tell anyone, you have to believe me. Don't you trust me?" She pressured.
She had been suspicious of him ever since he had been able to bypass the academy's barrier. The brief appearance of dragons flying past the academy was no coincidence.
Even though she had had her suspicions, she had respected his secrecy, but after what had happened to Alex, coupled with the reaction given by Lank. It became more glaring that he had some sort of hidden potential that he didn't want anyone noticing apart from his passive gift.
"I trust you enough to respect your privacy, I just wish it was the same for you." Nix shook his head, getting up before he was swallowed by her wallowing in despair.
Lumina made no effort in stopping him from leaving where she sat on the floor. Instead, she pondered over all he had said and felt she had touched on a delicate topic.
"Nix, I l–"
Quick to react, he turned around and pulled her up in a hug.
His chest thumped hard in a panic about what she had wanted to say. He wasn't ready for such commitment, nor was he ready to answer if she said so.
"Lumina, please don't be so curious about your endangerment. I will always be the Nix you know, don't get sucked in by my dark past." Nix said in a low whisper, holding her right against him.
She let out a gasp, feeling his heartbeat and body heat. His body was trembling as he held her.
Feeling guilty, she nodded her head and accepted his words for a while. If he was comfortable in sharing his past, she would be there to listen to him.
"Nix, whatever you do I will always be there to support you. Just don't keep me in the dark for too long."
Nodding his head to her request, she pushed him away, only to pull him immediately by the collar and for a deep and passionate kiss.
Nix's eyes widened at the boldness she displayed, this was his thing, but he couldn't understand why he felt flustered by such an action.
Pulling her by the waist, he pressed her on him as their mouths fought for dominance.
Pulling away for air, their chest heaved as they stared at one another in a daze, their cheeks flushed.
Licking her lips, she pulled on the back of his head for another kiss. Raising her leg slowly and seductively up the side of his leg until it got to his hip.
Nix groaned into the kiss, pushing her up against the wall, his hand reaching under her top. He stopped when he noticed he was touching not her bra, but...
'flesh?' Nix's eyes widened, and his hand immediately retracted.
Lumina let out a giggle at how innocent he played once he had touched her.
"You seem surprised." Her breath fanned his face as a devilish smirk graced her plump lips.
Nix couldn't speak, it had been a while since he had felt that exquisite softness in all its glory, not since he had transmigrated.
Back in his world, he had been much of a flirt and player but had always made it clear of no strings attached. But theirs could never compare to the size he had just felt.
In his thoughts, he had reasoned she had some sort of lift or increase because of the support from her bra, but feeling it without that negated all he had ever imagined.
Looking again, he noticed how her nipples poked on her top, his brows furrowed wondering how she had been able to maintain it being that perky.
He had considered those females as mere toys he could discard when he felt tired. When he had experienced being ditched by the one friend he held so dear to his heart like a brother, his reasoning changed drastically.
Ba dum!
Looking at Lumina, his heartbeat quickened. She was the first female that had ever had some effect on his stone-cold heart and this thought scared the shit out of him.
If he proceeded further, there was no way of going back, not while there was still the issue of trust.
"You chose yet another time not to wear, you sure do act naughty at the wrong times." Nix shook his head with a smile.
"I am only for you." She smirked, pulling him for a hug.
"Let's not ruin the moment, could we stay like this for a while?" Her voice was muffled by her cheeks on his shirt.
