Mia sat awkwardly in the front seat the next month, mostly looking outside the window and praying that they got to their location soon enough.
Last night, Rey had kept going till she shook and squirted on him while her moan erupted in loud muffles. She watched him finish up on her stomach after withdrawing his dick from her.
After the initial pain, she felt dissatisfied and shamelessly asked for more.
He had only smiled, carried her up from the bed in bridal style and took her into the bathroom where he senselessly banged her under the running shower with her mouth still gagged till her legs gave way and she only had to rely on his hold.
She had watched him in amazement as he scrubbed her clean, dressed her up and took her back to bed only to join her later after bathing too.
It had all felt new to her that her boss would have this soft side to him and when he asked if she was asleep, she forced her eyes to a close to avoid any sort of conversation with him.
He woke her up with pecks on both cheeks to bathe so they could leave early, avoid his family and go visit her brother at the hospital.
Mia had stared at him for a bit without blinking because she could not place the man she knew with the man staring back at her at. Somewhere in her mind wished they could go back to the toxicity and not be in this state of being unsure.
Rey on the other hand could not stop staring at Mia's side profile. He wanted to start a conversation but felt like giving Mia the space to get used to him would be far better.
Just before he finished off, he had had the thought of dumping his seed inside her, getting her pregnant and making her stay but realized instantly that he didn't want to manipulate her to get her to stay even after their deal was done.
Cuddling her all through the night had made his heartbeat speed up at an unusual rate and knowing she was pretending to be asleep made him smile till his cheeks hurt.
He could not hold back his feelings anymore, not when they slept in the same room. He would probably have to properly apologize to her for his past fuck ups and correct his wrongs.
"Are you hungry?" His eyes were on her most of the time rather than on the road.
"No."
Just one word and his grip on the steering wheel tightened.
"Is there something you want?" He tried again.
"No."
He nodded stiffly and faced the road, enduring the overbearing silence.

Beatrice got hold of Mia's hand and dragged her outside the almost transparent door.
"Oh my goodness MIA!" Beatrice squealed in excitement and Mia winced.
"What is it again?" Mia eyed her overexcited cousin.
"He's sooo cute!" Beatrice's eyes were rounded and dreamy.
Mia blushed. "You don't have to make it so obvious that you like Andrew." She said but Beatrice glared at her before smacking her arm.
"Ouch! What was that for?"
"Did something happen between you too?" Beatrice drew closer, blinking rapidly at Mia whose cheeks grew redder.
"Eww! No!" She said a little too loudly but Beatrice had a crazy smile on her lips.
"Can I go back in now?" Mia looked ready to bolt from her crazy cousin.
"See the way he takes care of children." She purred, peering at Rey who was currently trying to make the already laughing Lucas laugh even more.
"Can you stop?" Mia shifted on her feet.
"And by the way, I like Andrew." Beatrice's dreamy eyes got worse and Mia's face palmed before groaning.
"He's totally my type! Aahh!" Beatrice groaned with a fangirly expression but Mia was quick to place her hand over her cousin's mouth.
"Keep it down B!" Mia whisper shouted, but Beatrice slapped her hand away.
"I'm not like you Mia, I'd probably ask him for a one night stand later." She smiled flirtatiously at Mia who suddenly turned pale like she was going to die soon.
"Don't." She could only say.
"We have been vibing."
"Just don't!" Mia half-yelled into her lost-looking cousin's face before walking back into the ward without a pause.
"What's up?" Rey looked up at her with gentle eyes that almost made her step on her toes and fall to the fall.
"Nothing much." She tried to look normal but Andrew's fixed gaze on her didn't help matters.
When the door opened again, Mia rushed towards the other side of her brother's bed and got busy chatting with Lucas to avoid facing Beatrice or Andrew's scrutinizing gaze.
Once in a while, she met Rey's fixed attention only to turn red like a tomato. Luckily for her, most of Rey's heated gaze went unnoticed by the two extremely chatty figures who were lost in their own world.
After a few hours and Lucas finally fell asleep, Rey fixed his eyes on her and made it obvious he was staring till she had to look up at him to catch his attention.
"I'd be leaving soon." He started in a low voice so as not to wake Lucas and she nodded.
"Come with me, let's cook together, I'm hungry." He offered after an initial frown and she turned shy.
"I…"
"You'd come back and spend as long as you want with him." Rey continued not noticing that the duo behind had stopped their conversation to focus on them.
"Okay." Mia had noticed her cousin's maddening inquisitive gaze and was sure she would not be spared if she was left alone with her.
Standing and walking round the bed to her side, Rey offered his hand to her and Mia almost shook her head but his gentle eyes arrested her and she found her hand in his hand before even thinking about it.
"We'd get going now." Rey announced and the mischievous duo had a mischievous look on their faces especially after Mia's cheeks grew hot.
"I can walk on my own without having to hold your hand." She whispered to him while eyeing her cousin, whose smile made her want to explain that it isn't actually what she was thinking.
"We are a thing." Was the only response Rey gave her and led her out of the ward with Andrew and Beatrice giving low whistles after them.
