"You can make yourself comfortable and watch some news for a while. I will quickly finish cooking dinner," Sarah told Kyle who simply nodded and headed to the living area. She immediately went to her bedroom to change into comfortable clothes before she headed to the kitchen.

  Sarah prepared a Spanish-inspired chicken dinner that was short on time but strong on flavor. It was a combination of dried chorizo and a triple dose of spring onions, red onions, and garlic cloves. She made rice pilaf, essentially pan-toasted pasta, spiced with saffron and simmered in rich chicken broth.

  She prepared the table as soon as she finished cooking and called Kyle but he did not respond. She smiled watching him rest his head on the headrest of the couch with his eyes closed. He looked really tired.

  He offered to help her with the pending works but he almost took half of it from her aside from his own task. She leaned down to stare at him for some time before she bent more closer and whispered in his ear, "Kyle dinner is ready. Eat first and you can rest here later if you want…"

  She felt Kyle's arms on her waist pulling her down to sit on his lap. Her face blushed and she tried to hide it by gently hitting his chest and whispering, "Let's go eat before the food gets cold."

  Kyle leaned and whispered in her ear, "I'm actually not hungry yet but are you sure I can sleep here? Do you know what you're saying?" Sarah felt his hot breath lingering on her skin making her body weak as a shiver traveled down her spine.

  'Since when did I become so weak?' she silently complained. She felt like she was easily turning putty under Kyle's simple gestures. She comfortably straddled on Kyle's lap and raised her head so she could face him closely. His eyes were still closed but he looked very handsome though he was tired.

  She could understand what Kyle was saying so she mumbled with a grin, "Yeah, you can sleep here if you want. Besides, you look so tired. I have a spare room which you can use. You can also keep some of your clothes here to change whenever you sleep here and I don't mind. I will treat you like a… Hmm… A roommate?"

  Kyle's eyes finally opened. He looked intently at Sarah and bluntly stated, "You do know that I will always crawl inside your bed specifically if you let me sleep here. Roommate!? Sorry to disappoint you Sarah but I'm not a saint and I definitely do not have strong self-control towards someone I like especially if that person is not refusing me…. We will definitely not be like roommates."

  Sarah felt like her tongue was cut off. Her face was too red… A part of her wanted to answer him with 'I don't mind' but her pride was holding her back. She did not want to look easy to Kyle. Yes, something intimate already happened between them but she did not want to look desperate for attention from him.

  "If that's the case… Then you should go home," she answered with an unwilling heart and a half-smile.

  Kyle heaved a long deep sigh before an understanding smile curved on his handsome face.

  Sarah smiled sweetly, seeing his expression, and said, "Dinner is ready. Let's go and eat first."

  Kyle pouted his lips and Sarah did not know what came to her that made her do what she did. It felt like a magnetic force just pulled her towards his pouting lips.

  Kyle was startled when he felt her lips on his but he liked it very much. He was actually longing to kiss her from the time he saw her. He was even thinking of various excuses to execute that plan shamelessly but then tonight seemed to be his lucky night as Sarah made the first move.

  He did not waste any time and answered her surprise kiss with extreme passion. His hand held Sarah's nape to make sure she could not pull back early. He opened his mouth and started devouring her upper and lower lips alternately before he indulged in seeking and probing deeper inside her mouth, urging her to answer his demanding tongue with the same intensity.

  Her mouth was too sweet and he could still taste the food she prepared for their dinner. But he had no appetite for dinner at all, rather he wanted to stay just like this, kissing her the whole night and have her as his meal. He wanted to do more but he knew he must restrain himself to avoid misunderstanding. He did not want Sarah to think that he only wanted her body because he wanted everything from her including her heart.

  He let her go but to his delight Sarah continued peppering kisses from his jaw to his neck, making him groan in pleasure. He was losing his mind when he felt her lick, suck, and even bite his neck. He was too aroused by what she was doing while Sarah continued to do it repeatedly on every inch of his neck.

  "Sarah stop it before I lose control," he whispered on the verge of losing control.

  But Sarah did not listen to him and even proceeded to remove his tie and unbutton his shirt pushing it back to expose his shoulders.

  "You are torturing me!" Kyle complained which was followed by his moans. She liked hearing his moans because she could tell that he enjoyed it and they were moans of pleasure from her kiss. Soon she was not content with just kissing his shoulders so she started leaving hickeys everywhere.

  Sarah looked at Kyle and amusedly whispered, "Why do I feel like what you're saying one thing but your body's reaction is saying another thing?"

  She had a naughty grin on her face seeing Kyle speechless. She was finally able to tease him back!! She bet Kyle would start wearing turtlenecks to work starting tomorrow.
