CHAPTER 3

Steamy Night

Katase's P.O.V.

I entered her unit smoothly. I quickly heard voices, one's high-pitched, another gentle and then the last one soft- definitely Aya's. I followed their voices which ended up in the kitchen. I stood on the doorway just in time to know that Ran's not yet convince of me and Aya's relationship. My gaze slid to Aya, noting her stiff posture and the annoyance clearly written all over her face. I could have smiled at the way her lips curved downward in displeasure because it made her look fierce and hot but then, I hated how uncomfortable she looked.

"Convince of what?" I asked my voice turning hard.

I was pleased to catch a glimpse of Ran's startled expression but I was more pleased of how Aya's gaze zeroed on me. I could have smiled smugly but with how her amber eyes raked me from head to toe, all I could do was watched her intently as a burning flame seized me whole. If I wasn't a man of self control I could have cross the little distance between us and grant her a melting kiss.

"Katase". She breathed huskily which made me want her all the more. I swear I haven't become this lustful since sixteen and she wasn't even helping me to keep sane. She was wearing a robe. It shouldn't have been a problem but it was gaping and her creamy smooth skin was looking inviting.

"Happy anniversary Babe." I manage to say when she finally came to my side. It was like her scent had surrounded me easily and all I could inhale was her. God! I am so whipped!

I handed her the bouquet of red roses while my free arm curved into her waist effectively pulling her close to me. Satisfaction bloomed on me when I finally closed the distance between us.

But it shouldn't have left my mind that we weren't alone…yet.

"Anniversary?" Ran asked.

"Yes. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier." Aya said, the faint tinge of pink was hard to see from a distance but with me being close, I could see it clearly and all I wanted to do was to whisper sweet nothings to her ear.

"How did you get inside lover boy?" Ran asked me. I don't know why I've always hated her guts and how she handles everything. All I know was that she was careless.

I slipped my hand away from Aya's waist with difficulty because honestly I've been dreaming of this thing for so long and when I finally have it, a nuisance steps in and ruins it.

I dug the key from my pocket and dangle it to her face. "Aya gave me a spare key…" I explained.

Ran turned her eyes on her. "I really don't know what you're up to Aya." She shook her head and walk past us.

"Geez, just ignore Ran Aya. I think that's what pregnancy is doing to her. Anyway, Happy anniversary to you two and I'm taking my leave since I think you're both ready to jump each other." Miyu giggled at the last part and walk away leaving Aya blushing hard and frozen.

"Aya, you ok?" I asked softly, unable to keep away from the temptation of whispering near her ear. It was a bad move because I felt almost ready to give in on what I craved to do. I pulled my necktie down, hoping to breathe more air other than her scent.

"It's getting harder to breathe." I said and smirked down at her when I caught her eyes glued to my chest.

"Thank you for coming to my rescue."

"No problem. Come, tell me what they asked you." I led her to the living room and took the cake out of the box, noting how her tongue ran out to her lower lip.

I swear she'll be the death of me…

"I hope vanilla strawberry cake sat well with you." I said when I got the plates and fork. I cut a piece and offered it to her, my eyes ordering her silently to eat it up.

"You don't like it?" I asked when she shook her head.

"No.I-I like it." She whispered shyly.

I groan, my self control finally broking down. In one fast movement which I swear I couldn't have done without the help of my overwhelming desire, I have put down the plate and pinned her down the sofa.

"K-Katase?" She squeaked and all I could do was burry my face on her neck and inhale her sweet vanilla scent. She was the reason why I picked that cake flavor.

"Do you trust me?" I asked her not knowing how I could explain that I want her.

"W-what?"

"Do you trust me?" I asked her slowly, finally meeting her stare and feeling all my hesitation go away when I got lost in her amber eyes.

"Y-yes…" It was all I'm waiting for before I crashed my lips down to her, forgetting the fact that I don't have any reason to.

I pressed my lips to her, brushing it slightly and groaning at how wonderful she felt. I could live with this type of kiss. Her lips felt so soft, it was addicting even if I haven't taste her yet. She was stiff for a moment but within seconds I felt her melting to the kiss.

And then it ended as soon as it started. We were again interrupted by Ran. Aya pushed me away so hard I fell off the sofa.

That hurt a bit.

But thanks to Ran. I finally got a valid reason for kissing her.


Aya's P.O.V.

His lips were soft, inviting and deliciously warm. I instantly melted at the kiss for the reasons my mind couldn't conjure. Maybe it was the fact that I didn't felt forced or it was the fact that his mouth and lips were too sinful for their own good. That or I just lost all my ability to think right. It wasn't my first. Rei took care of that but the tingles and the warm feeling that engulfed me told me it should've been the one.

He was driving me insane with merely pressing his lips to mine, brushing a little but never more than that. My eyes fluttered open only to stare at his darkened emerald eyes. My breath caught in my throat at his heated gaze. My cheeks felt so warm I wanted to cupped them and pushed him away but I couldn't move. Katase draw lazy circles in my wrist with his thumb while his other one caressed my cheek. His lips stayed pressed to mine.

"Aya I forgot my –"

I instantly pushed Katase away and he fell from atop me to the floor with a grunt. I was certain my eyes were as wide as saucers as I stared at an equally stunned Ran. I flushed beet red in embarrassment. I straightened my back and my neck felt stiff from keeping myself on turning around and looking at Katase. What have he done? More importantly, what did we just do?

"You're kissing?" Ran asked.

"Yes." I said almost breathlessly. I felt Katase near behind with his warmth radiating to me. I stayed staring straight ahead.

"But you –"

"It's normal for us I think." Katase said lightly.

I nodded my head, suddenly remembering that last time, Katase and I talked about those 'getting to be comfortable with each other ' stuffs. I shivered. 'So this is what he's talking about'

Ran's laugh was hollow and forced. She then picked up her keys by the coffee table. "I came back for this and uh…sorry for disturbing you."

I flushed again but nodded my head and gave her a small smile. I only exhaled the breath I didn't know I was holding when I heard the front door slam shut.

I spun around and glared at Katase.

"You should have warned me about 'kissing stuffs'" I muttered angrily at him. He looked taken aback for a second but only for a second, I wasn't even sure if I actually see that reaction from him. He grinned at me.

"I figured it will be best to lessen her suspicion and show her that we are really intimate."

Intimate. I blushed furiously. What's with me and blushing tonight? I could of shame a poor tomato.

"I'm sorry for surprising you. Next time around, I'll put it in mind to ask you first." he added.

"That's a deal." I agreed when another bothering question popped in my mind. "Will we be doing that a lot?"

For the second time tonight, I once again saw how one side of his lips curved up into a sexy smirk. "That depends to the people around us. If they're suspicious then it will probably best to do it often in front of them."

I bit my lip. Suddenly, the thought of always kissing Katase made my stomach do these funny flips. Maybe I'm just hungry.

"Could we just do that pressing thing for a kiss?" I asked sheepishly.

"If you ask me, that wasn't even called a kiss these days. French kisses are much more convincing."

"Oh but I don't know how to –". I slapped a hand to my mouth! Oh God that was just flat out embarrassing. I just told him that I really have no experiences whatsoever. Rei kind of pressed his lips to mine like he did.

"I'm honored to be of service." He chuckled amusedly. I looked at him shyly. "So now, you could sleep here if you want."

He grinned then glanced at his watch. "I brought my car with me but I guess I should spend the night. Your friend might come here again tomorrow morning."

I sighed and rubbed my eyes wearily. Knowing Ran, she would exactly do that.

"You could take the bed. I'll sleep in here." I said and stood up quickly to tidy up the mess.

"No. I'll sleep in here and you sleep in bed." Katase argued.

"But-"

"No buts Aya. Go sleep in your room and I'll be perfectly fine here."

I smiled softly at him then made my way to my room, casting a tentative glance to see him watching me intently.

Sleep didn't claim me quickly at all because the kiss kept playing on my mind and I honestly don't know why I'm still thinking of it. Katase was doing it because somehow he knew that ran would come back to retrieve her keys but then what if Ran didn't come back soon enough. Who knows how far the kiss would go?

I bit my lip and pressed a pillow in my face, screaming at it with all my might. I hate feeling so frustrated with meaningless things. It was meaningless. The kiss is meaningless.

Of course it was.

I know Katase like me before but I'm pretty sure he wasn't that serious. With his looks, he could have every girl he wants.

That's right.

I sighed and sit up in bed. I know I won't be able to sleep with my mind in chaos so I got up and padded to the kitchen to get some milk.

The floor felt cold and I instantly regretted being barefooted. I clutched my robe tighter and head straight for the kitchen when I saw no lights turned on in the living room. Katase's probably sleeping.

I searched for the switch and just when I'm about to open it, a big warm hand engulfed mine. I screamed so hard until I realize, there's only one person in my place…

I looked up, blinking at the sudden flood of light and there he was, grinning down at me.

"You look cute." He said before pulling me close and kissing me again.

-KRIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGG-

I bolted out of the bed, my hands automatically feeling my lips. So it was a dream?
