(Arata)
Always the pessimistic block of ice. His eyes almost bulged out of his sockets when I called him–Alien from Neptune.
"What kind of na is that?" He asked, rather curiously.
"The one that suits that persona of yours," I pointed out, and he pushed himself forward, entering my personal space with ease.
"Didn’t find so cold when I ward you up the other night, Blue Rose." His gorgeous onyx eyes flashed with a challenge, and he let his gaze dip to my lips. "Or we can go ho, and I can demonstrate again to refresh your mory."
I backed away a little, too close, he was too close for my treacherous body. It heated up just from his gaze and words.
I had no self-restraint left when it ca to Karsten; if he initiated even a kiss, I would jump his skin, trying to claim all of him in my desperate attempts.
"No need," the uncertainty in my voice was so blatantly visible that Karsten offered that rare smile of his and placed both my hands on his chest.
The heat-like liquid fire spread through my body, and my panties were going to be soaked soon if this man didn’t back away.
The black fire of his passion seed to burn in his eyes as he slowly challenged.
"Liar! If I were to claim your lips right now, I can bet anything that you won’t push away."
How this man understood like the back of his hand. It infuriated to no bounds.
My hands painfully itched to close against his shirt and pull himself onto . To sate this burning that had begun between my legs.
It was already bad that I found him irresistible and now he kept seducing .
How long before I would fall so badly for him that he would consu fully, leaving nothing behind.
The knock on the window saved from further embarrassnt as Olphi had arrived with our Ran. Since the glass was one-way, I was glad no one could see us.
Smirking, Karsten straightened up while saying.
"This conversation will continue once we get ho."
Sighing, I let out a big puff of air, trying to calm myself and my rapidly beating heart.
Olphi handed Karsten the Ran bowls laid out in elegant dishes with chopsticks. Opening the food tray in front of my seat, Karsten placed my bowl down on it. The intoxicating sll of the ran with all its delicacies made my mouth water and stomach rumble.
"Can you manage? Or I can help you," Karsten offered, placing his bowl on the extendable tray. Picking up the napkins, he first spread one on my legs while repeating the process on his.
"I will manage." My hands didn’t hurt much now. I knew it was because of dication because they were going to take a while to heal fully. Still, I didn’t want to be a burden and eat on my own.
Olphi stayed outside, standing guard as we ate the ran. While I relished the noodles with boiled eggs, nori and scallions, I stole a glance at Karsten.
He was just staring at the dish, with chopsticks in hand as if contemplating eating or throwing it out of the window.
He had such a serious face as if stuck in a life-or-death situation.
Poor guy was suffering and he was suffering badly.
"Not a fan?" I asked with a hint of tease and slurped so of the spicy noodles.
"Poison, these noodles are poison for ." Like always, Karsten never held back or sugar-coated his words. He was doing this for didn’t an he had to guard his words.
"I thought you were a Naruto fan," I added, poking him with my right elbow on purpose.
"Doesn’t an I approve of what he ate. The guy drank expired milk." Karsten scrunched his nose up in disgust and I felt genuinely sorry for him.
I wanted him to enjoy food with but I didn’t know he hated Ran noodles. If he had given a hint I would have opted for sothing he actually enjoyed.
Another lesson was learnt, and so vital information was acquired.
"Just eat the egg, that’s healthy. I will take the rest," I sympathetically offered, patting his steel-forged shoulder.
His head road in my direction, the gratitude dripping from his eyes.
"Really? But, I promised."
I smiled, placing my chopsticks back.
"The purpose was to enjoy the food together and not make you miserable. We will try sothing else tomorrow, and you will tell if you eat it or not beforehand."
He nodded quickly and grabbed the egg between his chopsticks. Bringing it closer, he began to nibble on it.
For a man so huge he took his ti to savour the food he ate.
I finished my spicy bowl and water literally ca out of my eyes because of how spicy it was.
But, damn! I loved every last drop of it. After downing mine, I grabbed Karsten’s and emptied that as well.
He silently watched, without passing any comnt.
He was such a health and gym freak, and at the back of my mind, I had always believed that one day he would ask to go to the gym or watch my calories.
Andy used to do that, asking at tis to hit the gym every once in a while. I guess he always hated my body.
But Karsten understood I was my own person. He had never once asked to cut out on sugar or made any snide remarks about my body.
He had called beautiful when he saw naked and he always ensured I had my belly full.
What else could a girl want from a man?
"Enjoyed?" Karsten picked up a napkin seeing finish the second bowl as well.
"More than you can imagine," I replied, seeming very content.
He leaned towards , raising his hand and slowly wiped the last traces of the ran broth from my lips. Taking his ti as if enjoying the task imnsely.
"Good, since I didn’t get dinner. I will be eating you tonight," he added as smoothly as was Karsten’s style.
And I opened my mouth but no sound ca out.
