Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 42: Ensnared… Like A Bunny

Jules’ pov

Blaze was standing right there, toweling his hair, bulging muscles making it hard for me to focus on my inner turmoils.

He’s currently clad in a pair of loose pants and a tank top, but that isn’t really making any difference.

I sucked in a deep breath and averted my gaze as soon as our eyes locked, and from the corner of my eyes, I followed his movement as he walked towards one of the beds and sank into it.

"You gonna take a shower as well, bun?" He drawled out, eyes trained on me and eyebrows arched. I jumped a little as he spoke, eyes darting towards him for a moment.

I pointed towards the other bed while struggling on how to put my inner thoughts into words.

"T- the bed... it’s in the s- same..."

"Surely it’s not bothering you that we wouldn’t be sleeping in separate rooms, right?" He mused, eyes still trained on me and I swallowed emptily, unsure of how to respond.

Of course it’s bothering me. It’s terrifying enough that I have to room with him, but I didn’t think we were gonna be placed in the same bedroom.

How the hell am I even going to survive?

With a small exhale, I ended up shaking my head in response, which prompted a snort from an amused looking Blaze who’s now reclined against the head of the large bed.

It was clear that he knew I was lying.

"Go ahead and take a shower then." He murmured easily, nodding at the door he previously exited from. Somehow, it felt like an order.

I gulped and tensely nodded my head in response, and then I forced myself across the room, past the door he exited minutes ago, while trying to remain immune to his intense, piercing gaze.

Once in the bathroom, I leaned against the door while suppressing the urge to burst into tears, while wondering why I’m just so freaking unfortunate.

After spending minutes in the same position, I decided to actually take a shower, because I really do need one after sweating through the hours long ride here.

Although, there was one problem.

My toiletries aren’t in here, which means I have to go out there. That realization almost made me start to wail in frustration. novelbuddy.cσ๓

I remained in the bathroom, stalling for minutes before finally deciding on moving along. On exiting the bathroom, I realized that the bedroom was empty.

That made a relieved sigh ease past my lungs as I hurriedly ran to my side of the room and looked into the closet standing there. My luggage had been stored there, although still unpacked.

I quickly opened it and grabbed my toiletries along with a change of clothes which I’d sleep in. I had eaten dinner before finally gathering the courage to come up to my room, so all that’s left for today is for me to shower and sleep.

That’s if I’d actually be able to fall asleep in the same bedroom as Blaze.

I hurried back into the bathroom and made sure to shut the door, and then I hurriedly showered. Once I was done, I toweled myself dry and slipped into the large top and pajama bottoms I had grabbed.

As I stared at my reflection, I found myself grimacing, not pleased with the image I was presented with. I had taken out my contact lenses before showering so my natural blue eyes were staring back at me. My dark hair fell into my face and shoulders and for a moment, I contemplated wearing the contact lenses once again before exiting the bathroom.

The contact lenses are to hide my actual eye color, which would make it hard for anyone to be able to recognize me even if they’ve seen my pictures before.

I decided against it because it’s unadvisable to sleep with it in. It’s best I exit the bathroom now and get in bed before Blaze returns from wherever he went to, that way, we won’t need to lock gazes, and he won’t need to see my eyes.

I gathered my toiletries and shoved them in one of the drawers there, along with my dirty clothes, and then I exited the bathroom.

I came to an abrupt stop as soon as the bathroom door closed after me, because... standing a few feet away from me, was Blaze, who’s currently taking off his tank top, back facing me.

My mouth instantly grew dry and I swallowed emptily, eyes widening and cheeks flushing when his hands settled on his pants like he was about to tug them off. I hastily averted my gaze and instantly began to walk towards my bed as soon as I remembered that I didn’t want him to see my eyes color tonight.

His voice halted my movements at once.

"Where are you going, bunny?"

I gulped while my heart raced, cheeks heating up at the term ’bunny’ which he has been addressing me as for a while, for reasons completely unknown to me.

I slowly cleared my throat, hands growing sweaty from nervousness. "Uh... to my bed, to sleep." I whispered in response, heart accelerating.

I heard him scoff and I instantly flinched.

"Don’t be silly, pup. You’re sleeping here with me." He responded, voice husky and my eyes bulged out after a few seconds, unable to believe my ears.

My heart stuttered to a stop, hooking in my throat.

"W- what?" I whispered, head growing light headed.

"You’re sleeping right here with me, in my bed." He continued, voice sounding like I was dumb for not already knowing that. My mouth opened and closed a few times before I managed to get a word out.

"B- but... my bed—" I pathetically struggled to gather my sentence together but he easily cut me off, voice sounding extremely bored.

"Come here, bunny."

It didn’t sound like a request, it was a clear order.

I remained frozen in the same spot until a tsking sound propelled me into obeying. With a tiny whimper, I slowly turned around, eyes trained on the ground as I walked towards him until I was a few feet away from him.

He reached out a hand, lightly grazing my cheek and I found myself shivering, causing me to clutch the hem of my large top.

"Look at me, bunny." He breathed out and once again, my heart stumbled to a stop. I was pointedly staring at the ground to hide my eyes color, but now he was asking me to look at him, and disobeying him was out of the question!

I’m completely, utterly fucked over, to put it lightly.
