Aurora tried to push Alex away, but his grip was too firm for her to escape.
"Alex, let me go!" she snapped, her sharp gaze directed at him in annoyance.
When she saw his thick, curly eyelashes swinging slowly and finally his eyes staring back at her, she silently swallowed.
"Why did you hug me, Alex?" Aurora inquired, her tone rising slightly while her eyes revealed lingering annoyance. "Aren't you the one who insisted you wouldn't touch me? Yet here I am, trapped in your embrace."
...
Alex didn't rush to answer her. He sighed deeply in silence before closing his eyes again.
He couldn't sleep all night, and now he still feels drowsy, as if something is weighing down his eyelids, making it hard to open his eyes.
This little devil tortures him all night. She clings to him like a koala, hugging him as though he were her bolster.
