Shadows In Durango

*****Sofia's POV*****

Moaning in comfort, I snuggle closer under the sheets towards the large heater which had kept me cosy throughout the night - before suddenly feeling finger tips stroking gently up and down my arm.

I blink to open my eyes, confused at first as to what or who was beside me, before my eyes settle on Vincent, feeling shamefully relieved that it was him as opposed to anyone else.

It took me mere seconds to realise that he was shirtless, with me practically on top of his abdomen clutching on to him like a koala to a tree - shoot!

"Woah sorry! I didn't mean to crush you!" I blab out, moving myself away from him a little only for his tree trunk arm to pull me back in.

"Crushing me? How heavy do you think you are? I can barely feel you!" Vincent scoffs, as I chuckle and just accept that he wanted me tucked in to his side.

"Besides, you can't cuddle me all night in your underwear and then pretend that you want space after that!" Vincent suddenly jokes, as my face falls with all emotion.

Did I just hear him right?!

Lifting the sheet up with my left hand before cranking my neck downwards, I shriek when finding that I wasn't wearing any clothes.

How the hell did I end up in bed without pyjamas on knowing that he would be coming back here?!

I remembered speaking to Emma in the rainfall room, telling her about the whole incident with Daryl and Vincent, before hanging up and enjoying the last fifteen minutes of the session on my own, which made me extremely sleepy. After that, I left and came back upstairs to which I was grateful that I could keep my robe and slippers on, and I must have just waltzed in here, lay down, before falling asleep!

"When did you get home?! Why didn't you wake me to go put something on?!" I cover myself up in the sheets, having never been this near to naked in my life in front of anyone.

How embarrassing!

"I got back around ten, and you were out like a light. I tried to shake you and you just mumbled for me to stop." Vincent seems amused as he recounts what had happened as I have no recollection of it whatsoever. That spa must have relaxed me that much... I probably needed the sleep!

"Sleeping in underwear was your choice princess, so don't blame me! Not that I'm complaining! What's the big deal anyway, I do it every night look!" He remarks, lifting his side of the sheet to reveal his boxer shorts as I tuck my head into his side feeling my cheeks flush red.

"Besides, why are you acting like I haven't felt more of you already anyway? What is there to hide..." Vincents hand trails down my back, as I grow curious under his touch.

I guess he was right, but I wasn't naked when he touched me in his car, he hasn't seen my body before, not like that.

What if he doesn't like it?

"Might I just remind you that you also had my cock in your..." He begins as I slap a hand over his mouth in horror.

"Alright I know! I get it! Jeez! Sleeping in my underwear isn't a big deal, gotcha!" I rant on, before he decides to do something horrifying next.

Feeling his wet tongue lick back and forth against the palm of my hand, I squeal loudly and sit upright, causing for him to release a deep laugh - throwing his head back. "You're an asshole!" I curse him out, the word choice slipping past my lips before I can even stop them as his face falls flat.

"What did you just call me princess?" His tone is testing, sending jolts of both terror and excitement through me as I hang on his every word.

"I, oh, I didn't mean you..." I fumble over my words as he clicks his tongue to emphasise his disbelief.

"Pretty sure you just said 'you're an asshole' and there's nobody else in here, is there?" He teases further, as I chew my lip and scramble for an escape out of this one. Coming up with nothing, an evil glint flashes across his eyes, before one single word has me up and out of the bedroom at lightening speed:

"Hide!" He all but states, his features manic and searching for the thrill of the chase as I do exactly what he says.

A rippling shriek followed by a chorus of giggles leaves my lips as I completely forget about being in my underwear: overrun by the fun of the game we were now playing. Who would have thought Vincent had such a fun side to him?!

Hiding quickly in the broom closet, I wait for a few moments before seeing him through the crack in the wood as he enters the main space in the apartment, sauntering around in search of me. "Let's make a new rule... if I find you, you have to strip, if I don't, you get to keep your underwear on?" He poses the offer followed by a laugh, as I swallow the thick lump in my throat. He better not find me now!

Practically holding my breath, I watch him come into view before vanishing into the different rooms and spaces, humming to himself playfully on his search.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Why was he so hot though? Waltzing around in his tight boxer shorts with his large manhood begging to be set free.

His dark hair messy from his sleep and his tanned tattooed muscles flexing under each move... until:

He stepped out of my eye view for all of five seconds and managed to give me the fright of my damn life!

Grabbing me and hauling me up and over his shoulder, I shriek loudly and kick my legs - begging to be put back down to which he just laughs before landing a smack on my ass.

My face probably matches the colour of his handprint after that, as I bury my face into his back to calm my flustered heat - only before he tosses me off back onto the bed. "Come on then pretty girl, strip for me!" He encourages, folding his large arms across his chest as he looks down at me.

"But that game wasn't fair!" I complain back with a whine, as he chuckles and shakes his head.

"I found you, fair and square!" He states in response as I enjoy our playful banter.

"But you made that rule after the game started! I think the playing field should be more even if the prize is that high!" I nod in conclusion, as he cocks a brow at me.

"You know your worth, I'll give you that! Ok, fine!" He reluctantly agrees, as I sigh ever so slightly knowing that I had a chance to win whatever we do next.

"You're in for a treat..." Vincent laughs, before turning to leave the room, leaving me in my reddened state as per usual - left to wonder what he had in store for me next. This guy!

How will I ever survive him?!
