His Beautiful Addiction

Tiana heard the door open and slam close and she waited a moment before she turned around, when she didn't see him in the room, she realized he just left. She heaved a sigh of relief and sat up on the couch; her eyes scanning the room.

It was huge_ a master bedroom. Tastefully decorated but it was not what she had expected of his room, he loved dark colors, the room was rather very bright.

Just when she thought about it, she heard noises approach the room and the door was pushed open. Nicklaus stepped in, followed by grandma.

''You know I don't like bright colors; this is way too much, call a painter quickly and get these paintings changed and replace my old furniture. ''

Nicklaus groaned as they walked into the room, a displeased frown on his face.

''Oh Nicklaus, I don't see anything wrong with this, okay, okay, if you want any change, you can't decide on your own, your girlfriend is here with you now, so both of you have to agree to the change. ''

Grandma said and turned to Tiana, who was sitting on the couch.

''Tiana dear, what do you say about the decorations, do you want them changed? ''

Nicklaus eyes turned instantly to Tiana, a blue expression on his face; just a while ago, she was raged at him so surely she would not let the paintings to be changed;

Truthfully, it wasn't that he didn't like bright colors; he really couldn't sleep with them around. So before Tiana could reply, he cut in right away;

''Tiana doesn't like bright colors too, Tiana am I right? ''

He turned to her with raised brows, as though giving her an order, he knew she would not dare say otherwise; Tiana gazed at him for a moment and then she forced a smile, her eyes shifted to grandma,

''Yes, I don't like bright colors, the black and white is perfect.''

She didn't like dark colors but it didn't matter, it was Nicklaus' room, the color of it wasn't any of her business.

Grandma sighed; she thought that Tiana would be on her side but she had gone ahead to support Nicklaus. Nicklaus never slept in bright places and she had thought that now he had Tiana, that part of him would change. Maybe she was wrong.

Grandma smiled faintly;

''Alright, it seems the both of you have the same tastes; I'll have some workers change everything immediately. ''

She said and left the room in silent steps.

Nicklaus closed the door after Grandma left, and the room returned to its eerie quietness. Tiana pulled her luggage and started unpacking her stuff;

She walked to the wardrobe and pulled it open, then arranged her clothes on one side of the wardrobe, when she was through; she took a pair of casual clothes and her towel and walked to the connected door, obviously the bathroom and locked it behind her, not glancing at Nicklaus as though there was no-one in the room.

After about thirty minutes, she stepped out of the bathroom fully dressed.

Nicklaus was sitting on the couch, his legs crossed on a small stool when she came out. She walked to the couch and picked her phone. She turned around and walked towards the door, when she had almost walked past him, she stopped, her eyes not glancing at him.

''I want to step out for a moment, ''

She said to him, her eyes on her phone. Nicklaus has been watching her actions intently; there was a frown etched to her brows that had not eased since she stepped out of the bathroom.

''Can you stop frowning? It doesn't look good on you. ''

Nicklaus, unable to keep it in any longer, spurted. He stood from the couch and walked to her, when he was a few inches from her, he stopped; when Tiana noticed his steps approaching, she turned to look at him.

''I don't want you to frown in front of me ever again, and what I said earlier, I meant it, ''

He paused, walking closer to her, such that their bodies were almost touching each other. Tiana's breath hitched but she forced her feet to remain at a place.

''I want you always by my side, always within my reach, do you understand me? ''

He concluded, narrowing his brows.

Tiana's eyes stared directly at him for a few seconds and she pursed her lips tightly as though struggling with herself.

But the next second, it was as though she was another person, a smile suddenly washed her features and she nodded.

''Yes, Young Master ''

They remained like that, staring at each other for almost ten seconds, and then Nicklaus looked away.

''Wait here; let me shower, then we can go downstairs together. ''

He said and turned around, walking into the bathroom.

Once the door was shut, Tiana released the breath she had been holding. She dragged her feet to the couch and sat down.

She really didn't understand him. What does he want to achieve by her being by his side?

Tiana racked her brain, thinking for a possible answer but she could only think of one. Someone like him would only find a means to torture her, there was no other reason.

He knew she hated him and being by his side was an enough torture already. Besides, he derived joy in inflicting pain, there was no length he couldn't go to achieve his aim.

After about ten minutes, the bathroom door creaked open and Tiana's gaze raised to the door and her eyes regretted the instant she did so because it could no longer look away.

Nicklaus stepped out of the bathroom, steam rising from his hair. His skin was flushed from the hot shower and his hair was wet. A bunch fell over his forehead as he dabbed on his hair with a towel, another towel tied around his waists.

Well that was not what caught Tiana's attention, it was his majestic body.

This was something she couldn't resist; she had a penchant for smoking hot body and Nicklaus had it in quantum.

Although she was greatly angry with him she couldn't stop her eyes from drooling over his muscles and abs and the sexy ink on his body.

She traced his tattoo with her eyes mindlessly; her gaze moving downwards until it reached his waistline where the tattoo disappeared underneath the towel.

''Like what you see, beautiful? ''
