Chapter 27 Time's up!
MAELIS ARDENT POV

“Lucie…what are you saying?” I said, staring at him,

He smiled, “Let’s go inside. Basil will be here tomorrow to arrange everything.” He said, gently grabbed my hand, and guided me inside. “Take a seat, I’ll cook us something.” He said and walked towards the kitchen.

I couldn't help but watch him as he moved around the kitchen. How can he be like this to me?

“I might melt,” He said and chuckled, making me look away.

“Sorry, I was…thinking of something,” I said and looked away,

“You like movies?” He asks, and I shake my head.

“No, I keep falling asleep when I watch one,” I said and grabbed the rubics cube on the coffee table.

“Who do you watch movies with?” He asks.

“Family,” I said as I moved my hand at the Rubik's. “And you? Girlfriend?” I asks,

“I don’t,” He said, which made me frown and look at him, “What?”

“Oh come on, I know for a fact that you already saw a lot of movies. Isn’t that the go-to excuse of a lot of guys?” I said, making him laugh. “Is that a guilty laugh or what?”

“I don’t belong to those guys,” He said, and he pours freash apple juice into two glasses.

“Yeah, sure,” I said sarcastically and turned around.

I don’t understand, but I felt suddenly irritated just thinking that I actually did do that. I mean, why? Who am I to feel this?

“Here, drink this while I make us dinner.” He said and handed me the glass of apple juice.

“You cook?” I said surprise,

“What? Is that surprising?” He said as he sat on the arm of the sofa.

“I mean, you’re Allard---scratch that, I mean you the heir of the Allard, I didn’t think someone like you would know something about cooking,” I said, and I can see a hint of disbelief in his face. “And to be honest, I can’t picture it,” I said, and I heard him scoff in disbelief.

“You really said that to my face? You really don’t know how to be scared, huh?” He said and moved towards me, and I quickly slipped away. “And what do I look like, huh?” He said that made me burst out laughing.

He’s so offended, it’s funny to see.

“You look like someone who will be in a restaurant that will order a rare, and you get one, you’ll complain that it’s medium rare,” I said, laughing. “You look like someone who doesn’t know the difference between a pan and a casserole.”

I can see his glare from across me, making me stand up and try to stop myself from laughing.

“So-sorry,” I said, trying hold my laughter.

“Come here,” He said and tried to come near me, but I quickly ran behind the kitchen counter. “I said come here.” He said, but I just tried to avoid him.

As he tried to come from the other direction of the counter, I quickly went to the other side, but before I could even react, he ran towards caughting me off guard as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him.

“I was joking,” I said, half laughing. “I mean, you have to admit, I have a point,” He said, and he let out a scoff of disbelief as he looked at me with a glare.

“You like annoying me, huh?” He said, and I shrugged my shoulder, “They, I’ll tell you what I like doing to you too,” he whispered to my ears. I felt like my body just been cast with a spell, and I could feel a tingle all over my body as his hot breath touched my skin.

“I was…joking,” I said, and look at him, but quickly look away. “Don’t whisper to me like that,”

“Why?” He ask and I could see the corner of his lips rise with a smirk.

“Nothing,” I replied,

“The you wouldn’t mind if I do it again?” He said,

“Don’t---” I said and lifted my head to look at him when our eyes met. I stopped as our faces were so close to each other.

“Can I kiss you?” He asks, making my heart beat faster as I hold my breath, looking at him. I felt like my throat dried up, and I couldn't open my mouth to speak.

Maelis speaks! I want to tell him no, because that’s what I should say…but my heart is saying otherwise.

“I would up ask that----” I ask, I tried to look away from his eyes and was about to move away when he pulled me and turned around, putting me between him and the kitchen counter.

“Lu---Lucien,” I called his name between the kisses.

“Fuck I love the taste of your lips,” He said ashe pulled away for a second,

“Are you crazy---” I said, but quickly got cut off as he gently pulled me back to a kiss.

For a moment, I tried to resist, I really did. But his kiss felt like alcohol and getting drunk every second of it, and I want more. I could feel his hand slowly go to my hips and careless it and gently lift me and place me at the counter.

“Kiss me back, baby, please?” He said as he pulled away for a second, letting me catch my breath, “Tell me if you want me to stop, I will.” He said as he looked at my eyes, I mind what to say ‘no’, but my body and my heart are saying otherwise.

I didn’t respond and close the gap between us, his kiss is addicting that I felt like I didn’t want to stop, even if I felt out of breath. I felt his hand slowly make its way to my legs, sending a chill down my body.

“Ah…Lucien,” I moan as I squeeze my thigh gently, but before I could even react, I felt his tongue enter my mouth,

“You smell so good,” He said as he buried his face in my neck and started to plant small kisses.

“Lucien, that’s…ah” I said as I gripped his hair and pulled him away, and pulled him back to kiss.

Ding!

The loud sound made us stop and quickly pull away,

“Damn it!” He said, annoyed.

“What’s that?” I asks catching my breath.

“It’s the damn Oven,” He answered and rested his head on my shoulder, making me laugh. “Let’s continue,” He said and lifted his head to look at me, and was about to kiss me when I placed my index finger on his lips.

“Time is up, it’s time to cook chief Allard.”
