Rejected Little Secret by Lisj

Settling into the chair by Axton’s hospital bed, I couldn’t help but notice the antiseptic smell that permeated the air. But before I could even get settled, Axton’s hand shot out, his fingers wrapping tightly around my wrist as he flashed a mischievous smile,

“What are you doing, Chestnut?”

He asked, his eyes filled with mischievous twinkles. As I watched him, I couldn’t help but chuckle and shake my head at his playful antics. With a smile on my face, replied to him.

“I’m here, doing exactly what you asked me to do – keeping you company.”

With a widening grin, Axton settled into the comfort of the pillows, using one elbow to prop himself up. As he spoke, he couldn’t help but tease, wazzling his eyebrows suppestively for added effect.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Well, if you’re going to keep me company, you might as well hop in bed with me.”

Despite rolling my eyes, I found myself unable to suppress a laugh at

at his silly behavior.

“Nice try, buddy,” I said, playfully swatting his arm. “You need to rest.”

Axton pouted dramatically, his bottom lip protruding in an exaggerated display of mock disappointment.

“But I’ll rest better if you’re here with me!”

Reluctantly, I gave in and climbed onto the bed beside Axton, feeling a m mischievous glint in his eyes as I settled in beside him.

“You caved!” he exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. “I knew you couldn’t resist my charm.”

Irolled my eyes, but a smile tugged at the corners of my lips.

“Whatever it takes to shut you up.”

The sound of Axton’s laughter resonated in the room, infusing it with a comforting warmth and a gentle glow. With a playful tone, he quipped, his voice exuding affection.

“You always know how to make me smile, Chesnut.”

Taking caution, I slowly settled onto the bed, mindful of not accidentally bumping into him. Axton inched closer to the edge, making sure there was enough room for me. As I settle onto the bed, he lifts his blanket and gently drapes it over the two of us, creating a cozy cocoon.

“Don’t worry, Axton,” With a hint of amusement, I reassured him, my voice carrying the lighthearted tone. “I won’t try to take advantage of you while you’re injured.”

A mischievous glint danced in Axton’s eyes as he grinned mischievously.

*Even if I asked really nicely?*

“Even if you begged.”

Once more, Axton’s laughter resonated through the room, a melodic sound that brought joy to my ears. With every inch he moved closer, his warmth engulfed me, creating a sense of security akin to a comforting embrace. I felt the weight of his head against my shoulder, and the sensation of his warmi breath caressing my skin.

“This is nice,” he murmured, his voice soft and gentle. “Just lying here with you.”

Inhaling deeply, I could sense a comforting heat filling my chest.

“…I guess it is.”

As Axton draped his arm over my waist, I could feel his warmth seep through my clothes, making me slightly uncomfortable. Being in such an intimate setting with someone, especially after so long, was a unique experience. But as he nestled his head against my chest and his breathing began to steady into the rhythm of sleep, I found myself relaxing into his embrace.

Despite his snoring, which would normally drive me up the wall, there was something oddly comforting about the sound. Maybe it was the fact that it was coming from Axton.

I subtly adjusted my body, attempting to find a position that would offer more comfort without interrupting Auton’s peaceful sleep. I could feel his grip around my waist tighten instinctively, as if he never wanted to let me go. I felt a moment of panic, like a caged bird, as his embrace engulled me, leaving me feeling trapped. But it suddenly dawned on me, the way his laughter radiated warmth, the way his smile exuded sincerity, and in that moment, a soothing sense of tranquility enveloped me.

With caution and hesitation, I raised my hand and gently caressed his hair, savoring the sensation of the silky strands slipping through my fingertips. I felt Axton’s breath hitch slightly, and then he nestled closer to me, emitting a peaceful sigh.

Without uttering a single word, we inch closer to each other. While I continued to stroke his hair, a gentle hum escaped my lips, filling the room with a soft, comforting sound.

As I lay there beside Axton, feeling the weight of his arm draped over my waist, I couldn’t help but wonder if he was like this with everyone, if he had a knack for making people feel comfortable and at ease. Perhaps he had experienced numerous situationships similar to ours, where intimacy flowed effortlessly like breathing, and where boundaries dissolved in the gentle radiance of shared affection.

I shifted slightly, feeling the softness of the bed beneath me as I prepared to escape and find solace in the comfort of my own space. After all, what right did I have to be here, sharing this intimate moment with Arton? We were strangers that had sex, nothing more, and yet here we were, tangled up in each other’s embrace as if we belonged together.

But just as I was about to make my escape, Axton let out a soft sigh in his sleep and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. It was a small, fleeting expression, barely noticeable, but it caught my attention and made me freeze in my tracks. My eyes were locked on him, entranced, and I couldn’t find it within myself to move away from his side.

Watching him sleep, I was overwhelmed by a surge of emotions as I witnessed the steady rhythm of his chest, a comforting sight in the quiet room. It was a feeling that I couldn’t quite put into words, a mixture of fondness, admiration, and something else that I couldn’t quite name.

And to be honest, I don’t know if I’ll ever find the courage to discover the truth of what it was.
