Melt me

Chapter 3

"I'm just saying-" Kenji is still complaining about losing to me as I follow him up the stairs.

"Technically, laser tag is meant for kids, so of course the gun couldn't process my amazing skills. Right?"

I nod, "or, maybe, you just suck."
Push past him and open the bedroom door.

Kenji gives me a dirty look and crosses his arms.
"Sometimes, a little support would be nice. Just a lil extra kindess, to make my day better."

"Alright, I'm sorry." I sigh, sit cross legged on the bed.

Tilt my head and give him a mock sympathetic look,
"Would you like me to let you win next time?"

"Yes, thank you. I would like that very much." Kenji grins contentedly and I roll my eyes.

He steps closer to me, leans down and locks my lips with his. A slow, delicious kiss that has me leaning backwards as his hands grip my hips.

We move apart for just a second and he smiles softly, grasping my chin between his thumb and forefinger.
"You know, I really really reaally missed you."

I keep my head at an angle and inspect him for a moment, blankly staring into his dark eyes.
"Are you reaally sure about that?"

Kenji blows out a small laugh before crushing his mouth to mine again, kissing me deeper and my back falls to the mattress. His hands make quick work of peeling off my blouse, unhooking my bra and throwing them away. He starts trailing his lips down my neck, across my chest, as a low noise escapes me.

I tug greedily at his shirt so he pulls it off, and I yank his mouth back to mine, savouring the taste. The rest of our clothes find themselves on the floor soon after, and all I can feel is the heat of satisfaction crawling all over. The warmth of his body with every slow, deliberate movement until I finish with a final shudder. Still melting away as Kenji groans, collapses on top of me a few moments later.

He drops onto the bed beside me, holding me closely as I sense myself slipping into unconsciousness.
My body curls up into his, and he tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear, leaving a soft kiss on my forehead.
My eyelids droop down and eventually shut him out of sight.

I feel the light kisses he places on my shoulder, my neck. Hum quietly, hearing him whisper that he loves me. And I really just want to freeze this whole moment in time, never leave this room.

An erratic ringing noise annoys me awake. I lift my head, search for the source of the sound and drop back down when I realise it's my phone somewhere on the ground.

I don't want to deal with that right now.
Kenji's arms are still wrapped around me but he's asleep. The shine of the sun bursts through the blinds, igniting the room around us. I run my fingers through Kenji's silky hair, joyful to just lay here till the end of time.

I've been all over the place lately, with these strange new issues parading all over Asia. We've found out there's also similar crimes happening in Africa and it's all a bit much.

The past few nights, I've barely had minutes of sleep. Sneaking out at the most horrible hours, working until evening. The only time I have to rest, I've given to Kenji. Being with him is probably the only thing keeping my mind tethered to reality.

For the past couple of months, I've spent a lot of my time falling more and more in love with this man.
Don't even know how it's possible.
Everything about him continuously sheds light upon my life, Kenji's a constant source of serenity and joy.
