Chapter 14

Linc's POV

Turning to look at Mel as she worked on her laptop I found myself smiling as she scrunched up her nose frowning at something she was looking at before a smile broke on her face.
"Hmmm I feel like having some croissants," she said out of the blue catching me as I looked at her.
"Let me send Ken," I told her picking up my phone.
"No, you can't. I sent him on an errand," she said still smiling.
"Fine let's go then," I said standing up.

Taking her hand we headed to the cake store she had mentioned earlier. Deciding to enjoy the warmth of the sun we walked across the park heading to the small shop.
"May I please have a chocolate croissant," Linc ordered as she looked over the other baked goods.
"Linc can we get the milk-tart. It's just calling out to me," she said giving me a smile I couldn't refuse. "Wait what about that moist chocolate cake, it looks so..." She didn't finish looking at it with longing.
"Make up your mind woman. You sweet tooth always causes havoc," I chuckled as the cashier looked at Mel trying to reign in her laughter.

"They are all just calling out to me. Is it my fault I have a sweet tooth," Mel pouted.
"Yes and amongst other things," Linc mumbled such that she only heard him. "Do you make deliveries?" I asked as Mel moved down the counter to admire more pastries.
"Yes sir," the cashier said with a smile.
"Have one of each delivered to this address tomorrow morning. Also have a chocolate cake sent at lunch time to this address," I said scribbling it on my business card as she looked at me like I had just spoken Greek. "Yes you heard me correctly. Now please pack up a slice of the milk tart and chocolate cake for us to go," I said pulling out my credit card.
"Yes of course."

"Can we eat here," Mel said excitedly.
"What has gotten into you love?"
"So remember that little power-cell we were working on at Global Tech," she said.
"Yes," I said after ordering hot chocolate for us.
"Well it's fully functional and several companies want to try it out," she said.
"That's great news to hear sweetheart," I said lifting her up in my arms by her waist as she squealed in surprise clinging onto my shoulders.
I knew that project had been stressing her out but for her to finally have such great results I felt beyond happy for her.

"So milk-tarts and cake are your form of celebration," I murmured as we sat down.
"Hmm amongst other things," she said with a sly smile.
"Hmmm like what?" I said with a questioning look.
"Well," she whispered making me lean in close to hear what she was saying.
"You could always think of something in that pretty head of yours," she smiled.
"Pretty?" I burst out laughing. "Handsome, brilliant yes, but not pretty," I chuckled as her face lit up with mischief.
"But you are," she said with a smile turning to the cashier asking her, "Isn't he pretty?" As the cashier burst into a fit of giggles whilst I let out a low growl.

"Mel," I growled just as she held out the forkful of cake towards me.
"What?" She asked innocently as I ate the cake.
"You do know you are going to pay for that right?"
"Who me? How will you even make me pay, I have done no wrong?" She asked feigning surprise as she drank her hot beverage.
"Yes, you," I said reaching out to wipe off the cream on her mouth tasting it as she smiled at me taking her drink. "As to the how," I said leaning closer to her watching her eyes widen.
"I could just start off by kissing that little smart mouth of yours until your lips are swollen and bruised as I take my time removing every, piece of clothing you are wearing very very slowly whilst I am enjoying that sweet spot of yours behind your ear," I whispered pointing out just the spot making her sit up straight upon contact as she turned to look around seeing no one was paying attention to them.
"But trust me before you start begging for more your heart rate will already be beating faster than that of a person having an adrenalin rush. I will make sure you lungs beg for air as you whimper for more than just my touch as every cell in your body is alive with need. The need for the pleasure and pain I can give you, and I will make sure there is more pleasure than pain love," I whispered as I stroked her cheek watching her reaction. "My tongue will enjoy having its wicked way with you as I lick and taste ever inch of you, kiss each and every scar maybe have fun with your birthmark," I said as her eyes popped open, her cheeks darkening some more as I took her hand in mine.
