Chapter - 42

[A slight heated scene here and NO SMUT. I ain't writing any smut in this book bishes!😝]

Felix came back from work one evening and saw Hyunjin cooking dinner. The aroma filled the kitchen, and a small smile tugged at Felix's lips as he quietly stepped closer. He moved behind Hyunjin, wrapping his arms around his waist.

Hyunjin jumped a little at the sudden touch but quickly relaxed, leaning back into Felix's chest. "You scared me," Hyunjin chuckled softly, his hands still working on the food in front of him.

Felix pressed a soft kiss to Hyunjin's cheek, inhaling the familiar scent of him mixed with the spices from the dinner. "What are you cooking, honeypie?"

Hyunjin smiled, feeling Felix's warm breath on his skin. "Just something simple. I thought we could eat together tonight," he replied, his voice soft, almost shy.

Felix hummed in response, tightening his hold slightly around Hyunjin's waist. He kissed the side of his neck, his lips lingering there for a moment before murmuring, "I missed you today."

Hyunjin's breath hitched at the warmth of Felix's lips against his skin, his heart skipping a beat. "I missed you too," he replied, blushing slightly, leaning his head back slightly to rest against Felix's shoulder.

Felix didn't move for a while, simply holding Hyunjin close, feeling the rise and fall of his breathing. Then, unable to resist, he started placing small, affectionate kisses along Hyunjin's neck and shoulder, each one slow and deliberate. Hyunjin let out a quiet sigh, a shiver running through him at the sensation.

"Felix..." Hyunjin whispered, his hands still on the counter but now gripping the edge a little tighter. The softness of Felix's touch was making it hard for him to focus on anything other than the warmth spreading through him.

Felix turned Hyunjin gently around to face him, his eyes locking with Hyunjin's. Without a word, he cupped Hyunjin's face, his thumb brushing over his cheek before he leaned in and kissed him—slowly at first, then deeper, with more intensity. Hyunjin responded immediately, his hands sliding up to Felix's shoulders, pulling him closer as their lips moved together in perfect sync.

The kiss grew more heated, Felix's hands now resting on Hyunjin's hips, pulling him closer against him. The warmth of their bodies pressed together made Hyunjin's head spin. Felix's lips moved from his mouth to his jawline, trailing down to his neck again, making Hyunjin let out a soft gasp.

"Felix..." Hyunjin whispered again, this time with more need, his fingers gripping Felix's shirt as he leaned into him.

Felix pulled back slightly, their faces just inches apart, his eyes dark with desire as he whispered, "I love you, Hyunjin. I can't get enough of you."

Hyunjin's heart raced at the words, and before he could respond, Felix captured his lips again in a deep, passionate kiss. Hyunjin's knees felt weak, and the heat between them only intensified as Felix's hands roamed over his waist, holding him closer as if he never wanted to let go.

They eventually broke apart, both of them breathless, their foreheads resting against each other. Hyunjin's cheeks were flushed, and Felix's eyes were filled with a mix of love and want.

"Let's forget about dinner for now," Felix whispered, his voice husky. He then lifted Hyunjin off the floor, making Hyunjin yelp in surprise as Felix carried him towards their bedroom.

"Felix!" Hyunjin giggled, wrapping his arms around Felix's neck. "You're so stubborn."

"I just need you right now," Felix said softly, kissing Hyunjin again as they disappeared into the bedroom, leaving the world behind them.
