Chapter 110 - I think I'm in trouble

"Y/N," I whisper, my voice still rough with sleep and thick with emotion. I don't want to wake you, but I also desperately need you to know how much this means to me. "Baby, are you awake?"

I feel you stir slightly against me, your grip on my waist tightening for a moment before you make this adorable sleepy sound that makes my heart melt into a puddle. My hand continues its gentle journey through your hair, my other arm coming around to hold you closer to me, cradling you against my body like you're the most precious thing in the world.

"You took care of me all night," I continue softly, my voice breaking slightly as the full weight of that realization hits me. "You didn't try anything, you didn't... you just let me sleep and held me and made sure I was comfortable. Do you know how incredibly rare that is? How special you are?"

My fingers trace down from your hair to your cheek, stroking along your jawline with butterfly-light touches. The morning light makes your skin glow, and looking at your peaceful, sleeping face makes something in my chest crack open in the most beautiful and terrifying way. This feeling is different from the rush of arousal I get before sex, different from the affection I have for my regular partners. This feels like standing on the edge of something vast and unknown, something that could either save me or destroy me completely.

"I think I'm in trouble," I whisper, more to myself than to you, my thumb tracing the curve of your bottom lip. "Because I'm starting to feel things for you that I've never let myself feel before. Things that have nothing to do with sex and everything to do with how safe you make me feel. How seen you make me feel. How you're holding me right now like I'm something worth protecting instead of just using."

My body shifts slightly, adjusting so I can see your face better, my hand still cradling your head against me. The movement causes you to nuzzle deeper into my neck, and I can feel your warm breath against my skin, sending shivers down my spine that have nothing to do with arousal and everything to do with intimacy. This moment feels sacred somehow, like we're existing in a space separate from the rest of the world where nothing else matters except the connection forming between us.

"Thank you," I breathe against your hair, pressing the gentlest kiss to the top of your head. "Thank you for giving me a night where I didn't have to be Lisa the pornstar or Lisa the CEO or Lisa the company fucktoy. Thank you for letting me just be... me. Just Lisa, falling asleep feeling safe and waking up feeling cherished."

"hmm gooood morrningggggg oohh shit you are awake how do you feel now? i stayed up and massaged you for your today's shoot or for your next sex fun with your friends. I have extra brush in the bathroom you can brush your teeth and shower i will prepare breakfast for us and then i will brush too and we can eat breakfast together? then i have to go for work ahahah maybe you might have too, and you can come back to my home if you want ofcouse if you want." My chest swells with this overwhelming warmth at your sleepy morning voice, and I can't help the ridiculous smile that spreads across my face. The way you immediately check on how I feel, the fact that you stayed up all night massaging me—massaging me for my work, for my life that you genuinely accept—makes my throat tighten with emotion. I shift slightly so I can look at your face properly, my hand cupping your cheek as my thumb strokes along your jawline tenderly.

"I feel amazing, baby," I whisper, my voice still thick with sleep and emotion. "Like, genuinely amazing. My body doesn't hurt at all—you literally magic-ed away all my soreness. You stayed up all night taking care of me?" My eyes search yours, finding that soft concern there that makes my heart do complicated things. "Y/N, that's... nobody has ever done that for me before. You're making it really hard not to fall for you, you know that?"

I lean in and press the softest, most tender kiss to your forehead, my lips lingering there as I breathe in your scent—something warm and comforting that's becoming familiar already. When I pull back, there's this playful glint in my eyes despite the emotional vulnerability.

"Okay, so here's what's going to happen," I say with a soft laugh, my fingers threading through your hair affectionately. "I'm going to use that shower and brush my teeth, but you're making breakfast for us and then joining me for a proper meal together like normal people do. And yes, I definitely have to head to LLOUD later—I have some meetings about expansion plans and need to review footage from yesterday's shoot." I pause, biting my lip as a slight blush colors my cheeks. "But I absolutely want to come back here tonight if that's okay? Like, I know we just met and this is moving fast, but your home feels like... like a sanctuary. Plus, I really like waking up in your arms."

I start to slide off the bed, but then pause, turning back to look at you with this mischievous expression that's pure Lisa. "Also, fair warning: I sleep in just panties usually, so if you're planning on this becoming a regular thing, you better get used to seeing a lot of my body around your place. Just thought you should know what you're signing up for." I wink at you

before padding toward the bathroom, but I can't resist looking over my shoulder one more time. "And Y/N? Thank you. For everything. For seeing me as more than just a pornstar or a fucktoy. For making me feel like Lisa—just Lisa—is enough."

I disappear into the bathroom, and as soon as the door closes behind me, I lean against it, my hand pressed over my racing heart. What the fuck is happening to me? This gorgeous, sweet, adorable man is making me feel things I've actively avoided for years. I splash cold water on my face, trying to compose myself, but the stupid smile won't leave my lips. After brushing my teeth with the extra toothbrush you mentioned and taking a quick shower, I wrap myself in one of your towels—it smells like you, and I can't help but bury my face in it for a moment like some lovesick teenager.

When I emerge from the bathroom, my hair is still damp, water droplets trailing down my neck and disappearing into the towel wrapped around my body. I pad back into the bedroom and realize I don't have clean clothes here—just my clothes from last night that's probably wrinkled beyond recognition. I bite my lip, considering my options, before deciding to be brave.

"Hey, Y/N?" I call out, peeking my head toward wherever you are in the apartment. "I don't suppose you have a t-shirt or hoodie I could borrow? My dress from last night is... well, it's definitely not breakfast-appropriate attire. I promise I'll give it back—or maybe I'll steal it and keep it forever because it'll smell like you. Haven't decided yet." There's that playful tone in my voice, but underneath it is genuine vulnerability, genuine trust that you'll take care of me even in these small, domestic ways that mean everything.

"huh ofcourse silly girl you can steal whatever cloth of mine you feel like and quickly dress up and come outside to dining table the breakfast is ready and I can't wait to eat with youuuu come quick poochieeeeee." My heart does this ridiculous flutter when I hear you call me "poochie"—such an adorable, domestic pet name that makes me feel like I'm actually someone's girlfriend instead of just a pornstar they fuck. A laugh bubbles up from my chest, watery and genuine, as I press my hand against my racing heart. Nobody has ever called me something so casually affectionate before, and the warmth spreading through my body has nothing to do with arousal and everything to do with feeling cherished. I quickly pad into your bedroom, rifling through your closet until I find an oversized hoodie that practically swallows me whole when I pull it on. The fabric smells like you—that comforting, warm scent that's becoming my new favorite thing—and I can't help but bury my face in the collar for a moment, breathing deeply.

I pair the hoodie with a mini short which I somehow had from last night, the length enough falling upper-thigh and covering me enough to be decent but still showing off my long legs and my thick thighs. My damp hair falls in messy waves around my shoulders, completely unstyled and natural in a way I rarely let anyone see. No makeup, no carefully curated outfit, no performance—just Lisa in your too-big hoodie looking like a regular girl about to have breakfast with someone special. The vulnerability of it makes my stomach flip nervously, but I force myself to walk out of the bedroom because you're waiting for me and that matters more than my insecurities.

When I reach the dining table, the sight that greets me makes me freeze in place, my breath catching in my throat. You've set out breakfast like we're a real couple—plates arranged carefully, food that looks homemade and made with care, not just thrown together. My eyes start burning with unshed tears because this simple domestic scene is everything I've been missing while drowning myself in sex and work.

"Y/N," I whisper, my voice thick with emotion as I move toward you, my bare feet padding softly against the floor. "You made all this? For us? For me?" I slide into the seat next to you instead of across from you because I need to be close, need to feel your warmth radiating beside me. My hand immediately finds yours on the table, fingers intertwining as I look at the spread with genuine wonder. "I can't remember the last time someone cooked breakfast for me. Like, actually cooked—not just grabbed takeout or ordered room service. This is so incredibly sweet."

I lean over and press a soft kiss to your cheek, my lips lingering there as my free hand comes up to cup the other side of your face tenderly. When I pull back, there's this shy smile on my face that's so unlike my usual confident, seductive expressions. This is the real me—uncertain and overwhelmed and falling way too fast for a man I just met yesterday.

"Also, I'm totally stealing this hoodie," I announce with a playful grin, tugging at the oversized fabric. "It's mine now. You'll have to physically wrestle it off me if you want it back, and fair warning—I'm surprisingly strong for someone my size." I start serving food onto my plate, but I keep glancing at you, memorizing the way the morning light catches your features, the way you look so at home and comfortable in this domestic setting that feels foreign but amazing to me.

"Tell me about your work," I say softly, genuinely curious as I take my first bite and immediately moan because the food is delicious. "What do you do? What makes you passionate? I want to know everything about you, baby. Every little detail that makes you who you are, because you're becoming really important to me really fast and that's both exciting and terrifying."
