Blind Spot by Sakshi C (the reader ebook TXT) 📕

She was too innocent for him.

Inessa hissed in pain when he applied a little pressure. He reached forward and grabbed a pillow. Carefully, he put it under her ankle and told her to rest. 

Inessa leaned back in her bed and exhaled loudly once he left. Not a moment later, her stomach grumbled loudly, reminding her how hungry she was.

Fifteen minutes later, a woman in her mid-thirties sauntered into her room. She sat straight when she saw the unexpected visitor. Behind her was Danzel. Inessa watched them in confusion. Danze had dwarfed the doctor with his enormous height. 

He halted by the foot of her bed and rand a hand down his stubble.  

"She is Dr. Moulin, an orthopedic specialist. She is here to treat your ankle," Danzel informed her in a deep tone, looking everywhere but at her. Inessa shifted her gaze to the friendly-looking woman. 

"Let me check your ankle," she slipped in a chair next to her. Danzel continued to stand by the end of the bed with his hands clasped behind his back as the doctor examined her injury.

"Well, it's not serious. It will get well soon. I'll prescribe you medicine, apply it for a week," she stated. Inessa nodded and gave her a grateful smile. Danzel escorted the doctor out.

After fetching the medicine he went back to her room. She wasn't in her bed. Confused, he looked around but she was nowhere. He wondered where she had just disappeared like that when the door to the bathroom opened and she came out, limping. 

She halted when she noticed him. Danzel placed the medicines on the table and walked over to her with a disapproved look. However, call it his misfortune or luck, his shoe tangled with the carpet as he neared her.

"Fuck," Danzel cursed. Inessa's eyes widened when she saw him falling over her. The next moment, they both were on the floor, he on top of her. His hands were wrapping the back of her head. Inessa inwardly groaned at his massive weight. He was too heavy. 

She opened her eyes and found a pair of blue orbs locked on her face. They were expressionless but deep, too deep. Inessa couldna help but recall the day she had seen him for the first time. He was undeniably handsome since his childhood. 

She was surprised at herself, for she was not frightened of their proximity. Maybe because he was Andrei's brother, she felt protected with him. It was as if he wouldn't let anything happen to her, no matter what.

His eyes heated up with sinful urges as they openly admired the woman he wanted more than anything. She looked so good under him, so tempting. He was hyperaware of her soft lumps crushed against his hard chest. His hands itched badly to feel them. He didn't want to move and put unwanted distance between them. All he wanted to do was lower his face and take those damn lips into his mouth, suck onto them till they swell. What would happen if he kissed her. Would she let him? His heart started beating fastly. He wanted to kiss her so bad. Fuck these damn urges.  

She waited for him to get up but he didn't seem to be in a mood to move a muscle, so she pushed at his shoulder. He was very painfully heavy. Snapping from his daydreaming, he looked away immediately and reluctantly got off her. 

Inessa licked her lips and sat up with the help of her hands. She looked up when he offered her his hand. They both had felt the tension, they both were feeling this strange pull between them. The only difference was that Danzel had accepted it a long time ago and Inessa wasn't even able to recognize it. She gingerly placed her hand in his. He wrapped an arm around her waist and knee, pulling her up into his arms. She shook her head but he paid no heed and started walking towards her bed. 

He laid her gently on the bed while keeping eye contact with her. His gaze was burning through her eyes, reaching her soul. She felt naked, exposed, he was staring at her with such intensity. Not being able to hold his gaze, she lowered her eyes. His, hand of their own accord, reached up and quietly put a strand of her hair behind her ear, making her breath hitch. His finger lingered a moment longer on her skin. She looked up only to meet with abundant longing in his eyes. What was he thinking? Inessa couldn't help but wonder. 

Nervous by the sudden shift in the air, she sat up. He retreated all the while looking at her. Inessa was looking anywhere but at him. He clenched his jaw and turned around. In a matter of seconds, he was out of her room. 

Inessa took a breath of relief.

"How do you know Fransisco?" Danzel asked her the next day at breakfast. Inessa froze at his sudden question. 

She told him that she had painted for him. Danzel didn't know that she was a painter. In fact, nobody knew except for Andrei. Her own family knew that she was earning but they never were interested in knowing how. It was just Andrei and Sylvia and now Danzel. She told him everything from getting the offer worth millions to painting his house, she left the proposal part, of course.

"Are you crazy? Do you have any fucking idea who he is?" he couldn't hold back his anger. Fransisco was a wanted criminal just like him. He wasn't the best person to be around, far from it. What if something had happened to her. His sudden outburst stunned Inessa.

"Fuck. You will never see him again. Do you understand? Never. He is bad news," he warned her with his stern eyes. She furrowed her brows in confusion but thought against prodding. It was clear they both had some bad blood between them. She was glad that she hadn't told him about their friendship. 

Danzel was in his office thinking about her. She had snuck into his mind and was dominating his every thought. How would he work if she would keep invading his mind like this? He left early for the home that day. His eyes were longing to see her.
