My NTR Harem

Chapter 44: Little closer

" No, we are going to sleep on the same bed. "

Lucian could only nod after she spoke those words. Then he climbed onto the bed and lay to the right-most part of it, he left almost all of the bed empty for her, trying to create as much distance as possible.

Jasmine looked at his back for a few seconds then she also climbed onto the bed and turned the lights off. Lucian's heart was beating rapidly, maybe it was fear or maybe it was the excitement of lying beside such a beautiful woman.

Both of them were lying on their sides, Lucian was facing the wall while Jasmine was facing him, she had decided to take it slow so she allowed him to maintain some distance for now.

' Oof I can feel her gaze on my back, how am I supposed to sleep like this? She won't pounce on me in the middle of the night, right? I just hope I don't roll around in my sleep. ' Lucian thought.

[ Don't you worry, I am always here for you. ]

' Oh, thanks. '

[ Btw, do you want me to read- Top 10 methods to die without feeling any pain? Or how to sleep and never wake up? Hehe ]

' You traitor, just you wait I'm going to pass you to children and let them play with you. '

[...]

" If you need something you can ask me directly. " Jasmine said, even her voice was beautiful.

[ Here comes the 1st stage of becoming a yandere. ]

" Hmmm," Lucian replied and closed his eyes.

Jasmine just stared at his back with her mind filled with several types of thoughts, this was the first time they had stayed together for this long, usually, Lucian would just stay as far away from her as possible.

More than ten minutes had passed, but Jasmine was just looking at him though by now Lucian's breathing had become steady, he was already asleep.

Before she knew it, she was counting how many times he inhaled and how many times his heart was beating, she kept counting it in her head and within a few minutes her eyelids began to close.

After such a long time, she was again able to sleep properly otherwise no matter how long she kept her eyes closed, she just wouldn't fall asleep and even if she did then she would be woken up immediately by some kind of nightmare.

***

Around 6 in the morning, Lucian's eyes opened and instantly a sweet floral scent filled his nose, it was magnificent but just as a smile appeared on his face his gaze fell onto Jasmine who was still asleep just inches away from him.

He immediately sat up and heaved a sigh of relief that even in sleep he didn't roll over her, it seemed his natural instincts were keeping him away from the danger.

' She is gorgeous though- ' Lucian looked at her face, and in sleep, she looked so cute like an innocent child. He doubted anyone could even come close to her in terms of beauty.

But then he saw her eyes fluttering so he lay back down and closed his eyes, Jasmine opened her eyes and she was a little surprised, her mind was completely refreshed and she was not feeling the headache that was always dancing in her head.

' It's because of him. ' she thought, then she stood up and after taking a last glance at him which seemed to last forever, Jasmine walked out of the room, for some reason she found it pleasing to stare at his sleeping face.

...

" I hope this was just a one-time thing, my heart won't be able to handle such a thing daily, though it was not that bad. " Lucian mumbled, after he freshened up he went to the gym.

There was nothing different in the entire day for both Max and Lucian, Max went to work and stayed there till five.

While Lucian gave half of the time to his computer and the other half to the Gym, each day Zero would increase the intensity of his workout, but he could feel himself getting better with each passing day.

Though it was completely different when the night came, both Lucian and Max found themselves standing in front of something they feared.

Max had to stay in a hotel temporarily but he was again seeing memories of his parents so he hid under the bed and just hugged himself, he needed to find his next target as soon as possible.

While Lucian was standing in front of Jasmine yet again who wore a furry nightdress of a rabbit that went up to her neck, she looked extremely cute but more than that she looked way too sexy with all those curves.

' She is definitely getting these ideas from somewhere, maybe I should check her internet history. ' Lucian thought but he found it difficult to move his gaze away from her.

Noticing Lucian's gaze on her, which was lasting even longer than the previous day Jasmine felt some kind of satisfaction, and it gave her the feeling that this might actually be the right approach.

After having his fill, Lucian finally turned his gaze away. He hoped that it was a one-time thing but it seemed Jasmine planned to sleep on the same bed again, knowing that it was pointless to ask her to leave he just climbed onto the bed and lay in the exact same position as yesterday.

Turning the lights off Jasmine also lay on her side and looked at his back, Lucian glanced back and felt that she was a little closer than yesterday, but he didn't think too much about it since it was just a little bit so he just turned around and closed his eyes.

Just like yesterday, Jasmine fell asleep while counting his heartbeat and again, she slept like a baby. In the morning, she left to work and then Lucian woke up to resume his daily routine.

He worked out in the gym and then worked on his computer, and at night he found himself standing in front of Jasmine yet again, she was wearing a cute nightdress again.

" Is there something wrong with your room? " He asked.

" No. " Jasmine replied.

" Okay. " After which, he just climbed onto the bed and then lay in the usual position.

As he glanced back he felt that Jasmine was a little closer than the night before, but still there was quite some distance so he didn't point out anything.

******

Day by day, Lucian's and Max's life continued without much change, but after around two weeks had passed there were several changes in both of their lives.

Max felt that everyone was treating him differently in his office, only his superior used to yell at him before but now everyone looked at him as if he was a heinous criminal who had kidnapped little girls.

One thing he knew for sure was that someone was spreading some kind of rumours about him behind his back and he got the feeling that it was the same person who had commented on his stream and turned his house like that. But it was hard for him to face a hidden enemy like that.
