Hellbound With You (WN)

Alicia instinctively clutched onto her dress the moment she felt it loosen up. But she quickly regained her composure at the thought of the words he had said just a moment ago – those words that irked her.

She wanted to just let her dress slide down since it was loose enough to do so. But mortification came rushing at her before she could do so. Biting on her lower lip, she looked over her shoulder to check on how Ezekiel was behaving.

His expression was annoyingly neutral. Or was he returning back to his usual statue self again?

The urge to get back at him by undressing shamelessly before him suddenly surged within her. She hated that she seemed to be the only one who kept being rendered speechless by him. But then again, what if… what if she really was unattractive to him and she would not even get to evoke a reaction on his face even if she stood before him completely naked? Would she be able to handle that blow to her ego?

Her face burned red before she whipped around again. She decided that she would not be able to handle the embarrassment if that ever happens! It was not just because she had no confidence about herself. She knew what she got… it was just that this man was Ezekiel. Not only because of his ridiculous perfection, he had lived for so long as well. He must have built up such a tolerance to many things and would be able to keep his expression deadpan no matter what the view was before him.

”Shut your eyes. ” She demanded, changing her mind. Since she was not planning to deliberately undress herself to draw out any form of reaction from Ezekiel, she might as well get him to look away instead. No point of her playing with fire. There was no way she would do something so stupid that might end up back firing on her and burning her instead.

Thankfully, he abided with her demands without a word. An awkward silence followed after that as Alicia undressed, using the only one available hand that she had.

Once she placed her dress on a nearby chair, she spoke. Glancing up at him for a moment. She did not dare look lower than his chest as she knew that this shameless man was completely naked.

”Now let ’s get this done quickly. ” She walked towards the bathroom, dragging him behind her. She really hoped that he would keep his eye to himself.
