Nikolai never liked tea before, but when I offer him a cup, he drinks without moaning about it. I’m converting him slowly but surely.
“I’m going to ask you a serious question.”
“What?”
“You said you were in love once. Who were you in love with?”
“Huh?” I stare at him as if he’s grown two heads.
“That day during that never have I ever game. You took the shot when Kill said ‘never have I ever been in love.’ Who stole your heart? I want to know.”
Fuck.
He looks so serious and wounded, I want to kiss him.
So I do. My lips seal to his and I swipe the crumbs of the disgustingly sweet macarons from his lips. “I lied. I was never in love.”
His smile is blinding and he licks his lips as if chasing away mine, then he frowns. “Why did you lie?”
“You were looking at me weird.”
“How weird?”
“Like you wanted to devour me on the spot.”
“I always wanted to devour you, baby.”
“Oh,really? I must’ve missed that.”
“Christ. Was that sarcasm again?”
I grab the kettle and pour water into two mugs. “Make yourself useful and help me set up the table.”
“Give me another kiss first.”
I fist his hair and shove him toward me, then claim his mouth in a slow, sensual kiss, twisting his tongue and tasting the sweetness.
Kissing him outside of sex is different.New. It makes my chest hurt and my brain fog up, but I was always a sucker for pain.
When I release him, he groans. “Mmm. From now on, I’m going to need you to kiss me good morning this way.”
I release him with a push. “Go.”
“Okay, going, going.” He smacks my arse on his way to the opposite counter.
“Nikolai!”
He just grins and rummages through almost all the cupboards until he finally finds two damn knives and forks.
I end up doing most of the work because the way he messes everything up drives me bonkers.
Once we sit down, I sip my English Breakfast tea and go through an e-newspaper on my phone while Nikolai devours the macarons like a monster.
“Who are you texting?” he asks after he swallows.
“Not texting. Reading the news.”
“Why?”
