Obsession

Chapter 2

Sage POV

The sun shines through the gap between my window and curtain, forcing me to drag myself out of bed and get ready for work. I pair my work slack with an oversized white t-shirt and head downstairs to make breakfast for everyone, knowing the whole house will be getting up soon. I pack my lunchbox with some extra blueberry muffins for my manager Chrissy, before leaving for work. 

Walking towards my car, heavy footsteps startle me, causing me to turn around. Micah is running toward me, heading to his driveway and my stomach flips a little at the sight in front of me. He's completely shirtless and the sweat is dripping down his body, glistening. Damn he looks like a glazed donut. A strand of his black hair falls over his face, making me moan slightly and I bite my lip. He looks up in my direction, flashing me an attractive smile.

'Buenos mañana, bonita.' He shouts out, slowing down from his run. [Good Morning, Beautiful].

'Erm, good morning.' I stutter out. I look down at my outfit and frown, kind of wishing I'd made more of an effort. If I knew I'd be walking into a sex God outside, I would have done.

He takes a swig of water from his bottle and I freeze at how attractive he is.

'What's that?' He points to my hand.

'Oh, some muffins.' I reply

'What flavour?' He eyebrow.

'Blueberry. Would you like one?' I open the box and gesture to them.

He flashes a smile again. 'Why not.' He walks toward me, grabbing and steadying my wrist with one hand and picks out a muffin with the other. The sting from his touch has my skin burning, causing me to gulp. He lightly caresses my wrist with his thumb, before letting go. He doesn't look away from me, taking a bite of the muffin before saying 'Dulce.' [Sweet].

'Did you make this?' He asks and I nod, not trusting my voice. 'It's really good. You're going to have to make some more treats for me. Although, there is one thing I can think of that would taste sweeter...' He drifts off, looking down at me, and if I could blush, I would.

'I-I have to go, go, erm to work now.' I barely get out, pointing to my car.

His eyes darken, seemingly at the sound of me telling him I have to go, before they return back to normal and he smiles. He steps back before winking at me. 'Good to see you again, hermosa.' [Gorgeous]

'You too.' I breathe out, watching him enter his house and then letting out a deep breath.

'Fuck I'm in trouble.'

I've been at work for a couple of hours and it is slowly starting to get busy, with customers flowing in and out. Who knew there would be a demand for candles, especially when it is 100 degrees out. I'm wiping down and restocking the shelves, when the door chimes.

I feel a presence behind me. 'I won't be a moment.' I call out to whoever it is.

'Take your time. I'm just admiring the view.' A deep, smoky voice stops me from doing what I'm doing, giving me goosebumps.

Keeping my back to him, I bite back a smile and walk off, to get myself in check. I finally look up at him, when I reach the cash register. He really is incredibly good-looking. Dressed in a white tee and grey shorts, my thoughts turn dark. I kind of wish he came in without his top on-

'See anything you like?' He asks, breaking me out of my thoughts. I put my head down, embarrassed he caught me checking him out.

'Shouldn't I be asking you that?' I counter.
