I laugh, but it quickly fades out when Nic runs his thumb across my bottom lip. My eyes turn molten as they follow his, and I have to close my eyes for a minute to keep myself from biting his thumb and running my hands down his chest.

”As much as I am enjoying this. I think I need to let you go,” I tell Nic. My voice sounds a little different to my ears since it sounds like I am underwater. My magic is pounding on the walls to let go, and I’ve never been more glad I set up magical barriers to dampen my power while I’m at home.

When Nic pulls back from the kiss to catch his breath, I nearly whimper. I bit the bottom of my lip to keep from doing so. His words take me half a minute to fully process. I breathe deeply, willing my heart rate to slow, and nod.

”You’re right,” I say. There is obvious chemistry between us. My hip is on fire from his touch and my lips tingle still from his kiss. With that knowledge, there is no need to rush, and I find I don’t want to rush into anything with Nic. Still, this little make-out session was a lot of fun.

I pull back, looking down at Nic for once since I’m still sitting in his lap, and I smile. ”You look different from this angle,” I tease him.

I smile, matching Nero’s passion with the kiss. I hold them close to me with one hand on the small of their back and the other tangled in their hair.

I can feel my magic pushing against the magical walls I have in my house, wanting to be released from the emotions coursing through my body. They are simple little touches or responses that I am getting from Nic, but they bring me such pleasure and joy.

I unlock my hands from Nic’s neck, leaving one there while I use the other to run my fingers through his hair. I can’t get over how soft his hair is or how well he takes care of it and himself.

Nero’s giggle sends shivers through my body. It sets my heart and mind racing, thinking about all the other things I could do to them to get them to giggle or moan from the joy I bring them.

”I love it when you giggle,” I mumble on Nero’s lips. I carry them over to the bed and sit down on the edge with them now in my lap.

I shiver from the change in Nic’s hold on me. He still might be gentle, but I can feel the desire coming from him just by his actions and his emotions. I hold myself to Nic and part my lips slightly to run my tongue across the top of his lip.

I grin and scoop Nero into my arms. I spin us in a circle once, looking at them. ”Good, because I’m not letting you go, mein kleiner Kobold,” I say and kiss them again.

A little thrill goes through my body when Nic gently guides me to move closer to him. I oblige him, knowing it is something I wanted right now. I wouldn’t give all of myself to him, not yet, not until I talked to him about my past and my family, but this I could do. This was fun.

I pull back from the kiss just enough to move onto Nic’s lap properly. I rest my hands on his shoulders, pulling myself closer before I kiss Nic again. My hands slide up to rest on either side of his neck, my fingers interlocking at the back of his neck.

I chuckle, letting Nero pull me along. Once we are back in our bedroom, I put my hands on their waist, letting them continue to guide me. I’d follow them anywhere they wanted me to go.

”Good. You should be a little scared of her,” I say. ”She’s the most powerful sorcerer I know. And I’ve been around for a while.” I lean in and kiss Nero’s neck, then their cheek.

Nic’s touch is as gentle as his kiss, but he’s confident in how he holds me. I smile on his lips while we kiss, thinking about how special this man is and how important he is to those around him. I rest my hands on his chest while we kiss, my knees still against his legs.

I worry about what he might think of me after I tell him my story, but I try not to let that affect me tonight. I just want to enjoy the moment with him.

I chuckle. ”Just Kiki and Cassi. Kiki was the easy one,” I remind Nero. Cassi hadn’t be around in a couple of days, but I did ask her to try and give Nero a chance. I knew she said she would try, but she hasn’t had to lately.

I smiled and nodded in agreement. ”Really cheesy. Lucky for you, I like cheesy,” I said before I leaned in once more and kissed Nic.

I beam and pull Nero back towards the elevator and pull them inside. I hit the button this time and we take the short elevator ride up to the main floor before taking the stairs to the second floor.

”Thank you for not being upset with Kiki, by the way. I know she was just worried about me. She tends to be a little overprotective at times.”

I turn my focus back to Nic, setting my teacup on the table in anticipation of a good secret. ”Yes, please! What is it?” I eagerly asked.

I laugh and shake my head. ”Not usually, but I wanted something large enough for when I need to entertain people,” I tell Nero. I take their hands in mine, smiling down on them. ”Shall we head up stairs then?”

I roll my eyes and look at Nic. ”And never hear the end of it? I don’t think so,” I tell him.

”That’s because someone was too eager to see my bedroom,” I remind Nero. I lean against the back wall of the elevator while it descends.

It’s a short trip, the doors opening a few seconds later, and I roll the cart out into the hallway and then into a fully loaded industrial-sized kitchen. Everything seemed to gleam and shine. I wheeled the cart over to a large steel door and opened up the fridge door. I took what food remained and put it on shelves inside the fridge so it would keep until morning. After that, I wheeled the dirty dishes towards the washing station.

”Do you need anything before we head up?” I ask Nero.

I slowly smile until it nearly takes up my whole face. I shake my head, my eyes never leaving Nic’s. ”You. Are such a little, shithead,” I declare and boop Nic’s nose before I break eye contact and drink my tea.

I’m still smiling even after I drink some of my tea. Still smiling and still shaking my head.

”You could push the button on the elevator,” I say, glad they are keeping me company.

I smile, and push the trolly to a door, opening it to reveal an elevator on the other side. I wheel the trolly inside, and wait for Nero to push the button so we can go down to the kitchen.
