16: Like What You See?

LEYLA'S POV:-

He looked tired. His eyes were red. His hair was messy. His lips were dry. I could almost imagine how exhausted he might be. "Oh, Kurt. I am so sorry. Let's get out of here. Let me take you home. You look exhausted." I cupped his face with both of my hands then spoke in a worried tone. He sighed and forced a small smile on his face. He pulled his phone out and dialled a number. He waited until the phone was answered.

"Hey, man! Found anything?" He asked on the phone and waited for the response. He sighed in a disappointed way after a minute.

"Yeah, I think so too. It's about to dawn in a while. We need to head home. Let's rest for a few hours then start looking for her again in the morning." He spoke in a disappointed tone. He listened to whoever he was talking to on the phone. Then he hung up. He grabbed my hand then pulled me away. We walked for about ten minutes. Then we reached the spot where he had parked his car. He was about to help me in the car when I set my hand on his shoulder. 

"You are exhausted, Kurt. Let me drive. My house is near. You can stay at my place tonight." I offered him. He sighed and forced a small smile on his face. He nodded his head and gave me the keys. We both hopped into the car and I quickly drove off. That place was starting to make me paranoid.

"What were you still doing there, Leyla. You told me that you will be free in an hour." He asked me and I gulped hard in nervousness.

"Yeah, it looks like I have underestimated the problem. It took me longer than I was hoping to finish up. But it's fine. I'm good." I replied to him in a nervous tone while keeping my eyes on the road. He brushed his knuckles on my cheek and I shivered under his touches.

"You poor thing. You are burdened with such power. Was it a ghost trouble or something?" He asked me in a worried tone and I chuckled nervously. 

"Yeah! Technically, it was. Let's not talk about it now. You are exhausted and your mind needs rest. We are almost there. Just don't fall asleep in the car. I can't carry you inside." I replied to him and he chuckled softly. 

In a few minutes, I pulled over in front of my mansion. We stepped out of the car. I unlocked the door and sneaked into the mansion. I sighed in relief as everyone was asleep. I grabbed his hand and we tiptoed towards my bedroom. We were about to enter my bedroom when my brother opened the door of his bedroom and we froze. He was staring at us with his mouth agape. Kurt smiled nervously as he saw Aleck. I signalled Aleck with my eyes. He cleared his throat and went back inside his bedroom. He locked the door and I smiled widely.

I opened the door of my bedroom and pulled Kurt inside my bedroom with me. I locked the door then turned to look at him. "Don't worry about him. We keep each other's secrets. You go and take a shower. You feel better. Are you hungry or do you want to sleep?" I assured him then asked him a question. 

"I am just tired. I can take a shower but I don't think so I would like to wear your panties or crop tops." He replied to me in a teasing tone and I slapped his arm playfully. 

"Just go and shower. I can take care of your PJs." I said and he nodded. He went towards the bathroom and I stepped out of my bedroom. I knocked on the door of my brother's bedroom. In a minute, he opened the door with a smug look on his face.

"You are getting ready to get laid. Are you not going fast, sister?" He asked me in a teasing tone and I slapped his arm. 

"No, we are not getting laid. Do you have any new pair of PJs you stole from daddy's wardrobe for your boyfriend?" I asked him in an annoyed tone. He scratched his chin lightly then he nodded his head. He went back inside his bedroom. He came back after a minute with a pack of pajamas. 

"Here, you are lucky I have this one last." He said as he handed me the pack. I cupped his face and pecked his forehead. With that, I went back into my bedroom. I put the pajamas on my bed and went towards the bathroom. I knocked on the door lightly.

"Hey, Kurt. You can find the long towels in the cabinet on the left. I have new pajamas." I spoke lightly and heard him hummed softly. With that, I went towards the bed. I grabbed my phone and started going through the pictures I had taken.

In a few minutes, Kurt stepped out of the bathroom. A towel was wrapped around his waist. I suddenly started to feel hot. I was fanning myself with my hands. He chuckled as he sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed the pajama. His bareback was on display for me. I licked my lips as I saw droplets of water running over his perfectly tanned and muscular back. Then they disappeared behind the wall of the towel. I gulped hard, staring at his back. 

"Like what you see?" His voice pulled me out of the oceans of my dark and dirty thoughts. I looked at him and frowned. He did not even turn to look and yet he knew that I was staring at him. 

"The mirror, Sugarplum. I can see you staring at my back. It showed me how you were staring at my back and licking your lips while dirty thoughts inside your head. I don't think you will let me sleep after this." He answered my unasked question in a teasing tone and I turned my face away, smiling shyly.

"I am not getting laid. At least not tonight. Come here. You need to sleep. You look like a mess." I spoke in a shy tone with a small smile on my face.

"Whatever you say, your highness." He replied to me in a seductive tone as he crawled into bed. He laid down beside me. I set my phone on the bedside table and leaned over him. I encircled my arms around his head then pecked his forehead.

"You look like you are about to sing me a lullaby. Or maybe read a bedtime story." He teased me and I chuckled.

"Well, I am not a lullaby or bedtime story kind of person. But I do have lots of horror stories. Do you want to hear those?" I asked him, matching his teasing tone. He rolled his eyes at me then waved his hands.

"Oh please. Keep them to yourself. I want to sleep. I am not looking forward to staying awake all night." He replied to me in an annoyed tone and I giggled. I leaned over and pecked his forehead again.

"Then close your eyes. I am not going anywhere." I whispered looking into his eyes. He smiled widely then he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer to his face, he buried his face in the crock of my neck. I also hugged him back and started caressing his scalp. In a few minutes, I heard him snoring peacefully. I also closed my eyes. Snuggling closer to him, I also fell asleep.
