Chapter 16

They stared at each other as if their lives depended on it. The heat emanating from their bodies was making the room hotter and hotter.

— I really want to kiss you. — says Bryan, his voice husky.

— So kiss me. — says Petra, panting.

Bryan took her hand to the back of her neck and pulled her close, their noses touching as their breaths hit each other's faces.

Petra wanted him, and Bryan wanted her just as badly.

Their gazes met and, without needing words, intimacy had already been established. Her mouths approached slowly, hands shaking with anticipation. When their lips touched, there was an electric current that ran through their bodies.

They pulled away and Bryan gently cupped Petra's cheeks, every movement calculated to build tension even further. Her hands touched each other delicately, as a sign that the moment was unique.

When their lips touched again, the world seemed to fall apart. Everything around disappeared, and all that was left was that wonderful feeling of being in such an intimate and special moment. The kiss was soft and, at the same time, intense, as if their souls were connected in one body.

Time passed, but the kiss seemed to last forever. When they finally pulled apart, their eyes met again, this time with an even more intense glow.

Petra smiled embarrassed and got out of Bryan's lap, he was still in ecstasy after feeling so many sensations in just a single kiss.

— I... I'll put the pompom food. — says Petra, getting up and facing Bryan. — See you at lunch.

So she leaves to feed her rabbit, leaving Bryan still speechless, he was still processing everything that happened. His heart was beating superfast, while the taste of her lips could still be felt by him.

He wasn't silly. Bryan knew very well what that meant, what those sensations meant. And he was a little scared, he had never felt that before, but his fear wasn't of his feelings, it was that when Petra found out the truth, she left him, that, yes, it would be scary, because he would suffer due to feelings that he was already feeling for her.

Bryan just hoped that Petra understood, and that she loved him enough not to leave him.

. . .

— What will we have for lunch? — Bryan asked as he entered the room and saw Petra sitting at the table.

— fillet with vegetables. — says Petra. — and for dessert, strawberry-chocolate ice cream.

— Did you choose? — Asks Bryan settling down at the table, the maid soon brings her plates and puts them on the table.

— Dessert, yes. — she says, smiling. — I love candies.

— You're a little ant. — Bryan says, making Petra smile. — did you feed the pompom?

— Yes, and Thunder too. — she says.

— The Thunder will get spoiled. — Bryan says.

— Let me take care of him. — says Petra imploringly. — I'll take good care of Thunder.

— If you take care of my dog, I'm sure he will be more docile than a bunny. — Bryan says. — you can buy a bunny costume and wear it.

Petra looks hopefully at her husband.

— I can? — she asks.

— Of course. — he says.

— But I wanted so much. — says Petra. — he would be so cute.

— Petra the Thunder was trained to kill in cold blood. — Bryan says. — not kill with cuteness.

— It wouldn't cost anything to try to ask you that. — she says. — but that he would get cute, he would.

— But I won't let you put a rabbit suit on my dog. — says Bryan, giving the matter closed.

So they start to eat in silence, just exchanging a few looks and shy smiles.

. . .

Petra was in the cinema room, sitting on a super comfy sofa. Her back had a fluffy sheet and several pillows. She had already chosen the movie that was about romance, she ends up hearing the noise that Bryan's chair made and looks at the door, seeing him come in with two pots of popcorn.

— Want popcorn? — Bryan asks.

— I want. — says Petra excitedly.

Bryan quickly delivers the popcorn to her, she takes a popcorn and takes it to her mouth.

— It's very good. — says Petra after enjoying the popcorn.

Bryan just smiles and settles down next to the couch, it took a while before he managed to get his chair in a good position to watch the movie. Petra watched everything intently.

— I wish I could help you sit on the couch, but you're too heavy. — says Petra, feeling bad for not being able to help Bryan.

— It's okay, you're comfortable here in the chair. — he says.

— Wait, I'll make you even more comfortable. — she says, smiling.

Petra takes a pillow and walks towards Bryan, who arranges it behind his back so that he is even more comfortable.

— Did you like it? — asked Petra, smiling.

— Yes, it's even more comfortable. — he says, seeing her kneeling in front of him. — what are you doing?

— I'll take off your shoes. — She says, starting to take off his shoes.

However, Bryan's thoughts traveled when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him on her knees, perverted scenes came to his mind. He took a deep breath and tried to push those thoughts away.

— Ready, no shoes and no socks. — says Petra. — I'm glad you don't have foot odor.

Bryan looks at her indignantly.

— I never had foot odor and I never snored. — Bryan says.

— Good, imagine sleeping next to you with you snoring. — she says.

—Are you already thinking about sleeping with me, Petra? — he asks. — you know that the bed in my room is super spacious, when you want to sleep with me.

— You naughty. — says Petra getting up and sitting on the couch, very close to Bryan. She takes a fluffy sheet and covers his legs, and then does the same to her.

— I just made the invitation. — he says.

— And I will not accept. — she says.

Bryan smiles, and so they start watching the movie together while eating popcorn and talking about the scenes, a certain moment in the movie, Bryan holds Petra's hand, and they stare at each other, she smiles shyly and approaches kissiNg his cheek. He denies it and points to his lips, so Petra giggles and gives him a peck.
