In the kitchen, they enjoyed their time in a peaceful atmosphere alone at the house. Isabelle was chopping the tomatoes he asked her to chop while he perfectly handled the stove. Isabelle asked.

Isabelle: This size will do good, right?

She asked showing him a piece of the tomatoes she has just chopped. He looked at her softly and answered.

F. Luka: Yes, they are great.

Isabelle: Thanks again for teaching me how to make pasta, master. Melody liked them so much last time, I just had to ask.

F. Luka: Come on, Bella. We have already come over the formalities. You can call me, Luka. Just Luka.

Isabelle: I don't know how... My tongue is used to calling you master. I will try master... Umm... Luka.

She pronounced his name at last and it was the first time he hears her call out his name. He was overjoyed. The lady felt shy so she changed the subject.

Isabelle: I don't understand why you don't want me to introduce you to Peter and Melody. I am sure they will like you so much.

F. Luka: I don't think Peter would accept me so openly. He's a teenager after all and considering that all the danger is at my side, I think it's better that I stay away from them. Don't get me wrong, I really want to get to know them but it's better to keep it like this for now. When the right time comes, we'll surely meet.

Isabelle: As you wish, master... I... I mean Luka.

"Oh my God, this is so embarrassing."

Isabelle thought. She tried to get her mind off that but ended up clumsily pouring oil over the fire forgetting to place the pan on top of it and the flames reached the roof. Luckily, he pulled her towards him the moment before the flames could reach her pretty face. She pumped into his chest with the quick force while he immediately caught the bowl with the liquid sauce in it and poured it over the flames. As soon as the fire was down, he turned off the stove and looked down at the little angel buried in his heart asking for protection. He smiled at her and talked in a soft, comforting tone.

F. Luka: It's safe now. Don't worry.

Their position made her enjoy his perfume that was mixed with his delicious scent. She felt so safe in there. As he asked her that, she slightly lifted her head and stared at him. It's been a long while since she felt this safe. Perhaps, since Matthew betrayed her and left.

As his eyes caught hers, he felt a shiver running through his spine and his heart beat so fast. He would be lying to himself if he thought he could control himself in front of her. And before he could ruin everything there, he said the magic words.

F. Luka: Sass... Scales slither... Second chance!

Isabelle was surprised by his sudden transformation. She took a closer look and it was actually the first time she sees him in his superhero suit. She asked confusingly.

Isabelle: Master, is something wrong.

He held her chin up closer to his face and replied with a tear threatening to fall.

F. Luka: Everything is wrong now, Isabelle.

He called her full name and confessed that he had already messed up. That he couldn't keep fighting this feeling inside him although he knew it should have never been there. And before she could connect any of the dots, she found her lips getting sucked by his and a wild feeling of warmth took over her whole body. And in a fight with that feeling, she found herself so weak and surrendered, kissing back.
