I giggled to cover my embarrassment for being too upfront. “We can eat breakfastif you haven’t eaten yet.”
He slid his hands up to his forehead and tilted his head in my direction. I could see his eyes were still black, but they were slowly returning to their ocean blue color. “I think that’s a good idea before you give me a full erection.”
I gasped at his words before he laughed at my reaction. He stood up from his chair and coiled an arm around my waist. He pulled me closer to him and my hands immediately went up to his chest, stopping me from slamming my face into his hard torso.
“What games are you exactly playing at, little mate?” His head was leaning down at me, a teasing smile tugging at his mouth.
I suppressed a grin from forming on my lips as I shook my head. My gaze was fixed on him, and I couldn’t help but marvel at how beautiful he was.
He was so close and I could clearly see his perfectly chiseled nose, the rough stubble on his chin that made him look tougher and sexier, and then, those plump lips.
I swallowed as my eyes focused on his slightly parted lips, and I suddenly felt so thirsty. I was still contemplating whether I should attempt to kiss him, but I remembered that last night, he broke it up almost immediately.
My eyes widened as his face leaned closer. My heart skipped a beat as his lips were closing in on me, and I immediately closed my eyes, bracing for impact.
And it was like magic. A collision of senses.
His lips brushed against mine, and my arms automatically wrapped around his neck as I clung tightly to him like he was my saving grace.
Oh, Goddess, yes, he is indeed my saving grace.
A low growl erupted from his chest as his hold on my body tightened as he started to kiss me deeper and harder. He was trying to part my lips, and when I finally did, he didn’t waste time in plunging his tongue into mine.
He was kissing me hard and deeply, but passionately, and I was drowning in it.
We were still lost in each other’s kisses when I felt something start to rumble in my stomach that immediately pushed him away.
I was embarrassed that it would growl loudly again like yesterday.
His eyes flitted with confusion as he stared at me, his lips still glistening wet from our kisses.
“I’m sorry…” He closed his eyes and turned to the side before brushing a hand over his hair.
“No. Wait… It’s not what you think.”
“I know. You were just teasing. I shouldn’t have kissed you.”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
He let out a sigh before he looked at me, confusion written on his face.
“My stomach was starting to rumble, and I don’t want you to hear it growling again, like last time. It’s embarrassing.”
He raised his eyebrows but didn’t say anything.
“Fine, if you don’t want to believe me, it’s up to you.” I sighed in desperation as I turned around and walked away from him. “I’m going to eat.”
I didn’t feel any movement behind me, and I knew I would be disappointed if he didn’t join me for breakfast.
I turned my head and looked at him. “Have you had breakfast?”
He just shook his head.
“Come, eat with me.” I extended my hand for him to hold. “And I promise you, I’ll give you tons of kisses afterward.”
“But I want a downpayment now.” He was still not moving from his place and his face was showing no emotions at all.
I wasn’t sure then if that was a joke or not. I stared at him for a long time as I crossed my arms against my chest, waiting for him to say he was joking or something.
