I took in every inch of his face, letting my eyes wander from his closed eyes to his straight nose, and finally down to his full lips. I placed both hands on either side of his head and swung my right leg over his body. I didn’t lower myself onto him and kept holding myself up on all four at first, but it didn’t take long before I had to put my body on his.
I lowered myself onto him, gently pressing my body against his. I held my breath again as he moved his arm and rested it next to his body.
He didn’t wake up, and if I kept being this gentle and careful, he would stay asleep.
But he furrowed his brows the second I had that thought, and with fear in my eyes, I stared right back into his.
Chapter 16
CAIA
We were face to face, and our hearts beat loudly. I held my breath, unable to move. Sly’s eyes stared into mine before they dropped to my lips, and though his body tensed at first, he relaxed soon after, and his face softened to my surprise.
“Wavel.”
Oh.
It worked.
Shit…it fucking worked!
He thought I was Wavel.
I took a deep breath and smiled gently. “Yes,” I whispered before biting my lower lip.
“What are you doing?” he asked quietly as his tired eyes watched me closely.
I didn’t want to talk too much. My voice didn’t sound much different from Wavel’s, but I wasn’t as articulate as she was. I could say things that would make him realize it was me.
I kept my voice low, and my words limited. “You’re angry with me.”
His brows furrowed. “Angry? What are you talking about, baby?”
Baby.
He never called me baby.
My jealousy was back, even though it was me lying on top of him and not Wavel.
“About Jack. I know you don’t like that I’m talking to him.”
I was blossoming in my new role. If this was what it took to get close to him, I would change my whole fucking personality for him. I would become Wavel so that Sly would like me.
His eyes moved between mine, and for a moment I thought he would call my bluff. But his expression softened again, and he lifted his hand to cup my face in the gentlest way. In a way he would only touch Wavel. “I can’t say I like that you’re talking to him. I’m your brother. There won’t ever be a guy I will be accepting of.”
I wanted to ask if he felt the same about me, but Wavel would never bring up my name in a conversation like this. Even if she would never admit to it, Wavel loved Sly’s attention, and she didn’t want to share it with anyone. I mean, who would? I was on a mission here, and once I had his undevoted attention, I wouldn’t want to share it.
I studied him, but what I was more focused on was his touch. His thumb caressed my cheek gently, making my heart race even faster.
“That’s why I’m here. I want you, Sly. I know it’s not right, but I’ve only ever wanted you. And that’s why we must keep this a secret, okay?”
He nodded as a smile touched his lips. “Okay. Fuck…I’m not dreaming, am I?” he asked with a chuckle.
I pursed my lips to stop from laughing. “No, you’re not dreaming.”
I ran my fingers down the side of his neck and licked my lips as I leaned in closer to him. I didn’t want to keep talking. I wanted to get closer.
Sly seemed to want the same. He cupped my face with both hands and pushed them into my hair, tangling my strands around his fingers.
