Branch One Hundred and Sixty Three
“May I?” he asked as he traced her lips with his hands.
She knew what she wanted and why she tried to avoid eye contact with him. She wanted to jump him. She has wanted to do so for quite a while. How was she to refuse now when she had no place to run to?
She slowly nodded her head and he went in with a kiss. He was gentle as he first pressed his lips against hers. Soon he parted her lips open with his tongue as it began exploring and dancing around in her mouth. She dropped her hands to the side and pulled him closer to herself.
She wanted to feel his skin touching hers as soon as possible. His hand roamed her bare body as it came to her pant line. He traced the body right above the line. Jessica let out a small moan. His hand trails we’re hot and forceful over her skin.
She pulled her head away from his and stared at him. Although they were no longer kissing his hands still traced her skin. “We need to have dinner” she whispered resting her forehead on his chest.
“Do we need to do that now?” he asked as he rested his chin lightly on her head.
“I prepared a large feast to apologize for missing lunch” she continued in a whisper.
Xavier chuckled and she felt his chest vibrate. “You are so cute” he murmured.
“I need to shower” she added when he said nothing more.
“So do I,” he said. “Should I join you?” he asked and she froze once again.
“Don’t you think we are moving too fast?” she asked lifting her head from his chest.
“Too fast?” he asked shocked as he held her by the waist. “I even wondered how I was able to control myself just now” he added and she proceeded to look at every other place aside from his face.
“I want to go all the way with you but if you are not yet comfortable with it then I guess we would have to take it slowly”
“I also want to go all the way but I just feel like we have barely known each other and yet we can’t wait to get into each other’s underwear”
“You can’t wait to get into my underwear?” Xavier asked a mischievous look dancing in his eyes as a smirk remained plastered on his face.
“Not the point,” she said gently hitting his chest. He caught her hand and held it firmly in his.
“I do not mind waiting but I don’t want to wait for too long. Make up your mind soon and then get into my underwear” he said with a wink before placing a kiss on her hand and releasing her waist. She shook her head at him. He was a master tease and he did it naturally.
“I will let you have your bath now so that I can have mine,” he said walking away.
“I said I wanted to take it slow, I never said I was against the idea of us having a shower together”
“You two took a long time to come down” Roselle Said as she watched Xavier and Jessica come down together. “Dinner is already getting so cold, everyone has eaten and gone in for the night” she added.
“I will heat the food,” Jessica said walking faster to the table so she could take it To the kitchen to heat it for eating.
“Oh don’t worry young lady, I can do that for you, just have a seat and wait for a few minutes,” Roselle said collecting the dish from her hand and entering the kitchen.
“I had to go grocery shopping”
“Why?” Xavier asked taking a sip of the water in front of him.
“I wanted to make a special meal,” she said.
Xavier enveloped her hands in his and smiled. “All the meals you make are special” She bent her head with a blush on her cheek.
“Here you go,” Roselle said dropping the dish to the table. “You love birds,” she said in a cute voice. “Both of you look so good too when you are all lovey-dovey that I am beginning to wish that I had some romance too”
“Stop teasing us, my wife might burst out of redness,” Xavier said rubbing her hand lightly as Roselle teased them.
He had noticed the expression on her face. It was obvious that she was blushing so hard. “You blush so easily,” Xavier says facing her.
“I never knew I did until recently,” she tells him and he laughs.
“I am glad that the reason you turn so red is because of me,” he tells her and she looks away.
“Oh gosh,” Roselle said walking away.
“So here” Jessica wiggled her hand free from his grip and went ahead to serve him a plate of the meal. “Here you go, have a taste and tell me what you think,” she said dropping the plate in his front.
“Okay?” he said raising one eyebrow. She has never asked for feedback on any of her meals before. He took a spoonful and put it in his mouth. He chewed gently.
Jessica tried to know what he was thinking by looking at his face but his expression changed so easily it was hard for her to know what he was thinking.
“So?” she looked into his eyes as he took up the cup of water into his mouth.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“You always make nice meals but…” he trailed off and her head bent down in disappointment. She was not an expert in such meals but she really did want to do something special for him and it seemed like it turned out to be a disaster.
“It will taste so much better if you feed me yourself,” Xavier said holding her hand with one of his hands and dropping the cutlery in them with the other hand.
“What?”
“This is so delicious, at this rate you might not need a famous chef to teach you anything anymore,” he says and she lights up.
“Speaking of famous chefs when is the class going to start?”
