The streets were already covered in a thick white layer of the falling snow. Ivan turned on the heater even though the drive to the grocery store. We sang along to some oldies on the radio; just laughing and enjoying each other's company. It wasn't much but it was almost like a date.

I carried the basket while Ivan held my other hand. I noticed a few women staring at Ivan the way a girl would for a very hot man. I mean I would know! I'm dating him! And that wasn't happening! Very pettily, I pulled Ivan for a rough kiss while they were watching. They gave me a dirty look and left. Good! He's all mine!

Ivan had no idea those women were staring at him and looked at me in confusion. Poor man had no idea what was happening when I attacked his lips. Not that he was complaining.

"What was that about?"

I gave him a naughty smirk, moving my hand to smack his ass. "Just staking my claim."

His cheeks turned rosy for a change as he started into my eyes. Damn, he's even cuter when he was embarrassed….

"Come on. Let's get going," I chuckled, pulling the red-faced Ivan towards the meat aisle.

Shopping didn't take long as none of it interested us enough to browse around for. However we did have a few moments kissing against the freezer door when no one was looking. And we picked up some chocolate to share later.

Soon we arrived at back at my house and was pretty quiet. We crept in and saw that Natalya was resting with her head in Toris' shoulder. Whatever he did to upset her evaporated as she snuggled in close. Toris didn't really notice us; smiling lovingly at his long time crush.

"Let's just make burgers while she's sleeping," Ivan sighed, taking me back into the kitchen. "You chop."

I nodded, chopping the onions while he looked around for a frying pan. This wasn't hard but it wasn't really romantic like I wanted. He took the onions and chorizo from me, sautéing them on the stove. That gave me a little sneaky idea. While his back was turned to me, I wrapped my arms around his waist, sliding my hands up his chest. He shivered in pleasure, nuzzling into me as he stirred the meat. That didn't last long as he turned around and started kissing me sweetly. He nearly burned the meat but rescued it in time and started making the patties. I kept dreaming of his hands as I watched him form the meet into balls.

"Alfred, if you don't stop that I'll throw you down on the floor and make you mine," he growled at me with a wide smirk.

I stood with my mouth agape but I didn't object. I was about to dare him back when something interrupted me. Natalya wrapped in the a blanket shuffled into the fridge, grabbed a water bottle and left without a word or paying attention to us. It was just the timing that got Ivan and I rolling on the floor with laughter. And of course a few kisses…

We finished making dinner and sat at the table. Luckily for me, Natalya went straight to Toris' lap so I could let Ivan feed me. It was almost as if they weren't there. They didn't have anything just eating while Ivan and I were laughing and kissing tons.

As the night grew later, you could see her getting tired like a little girl. She kept rubbing her eyes and making little whines. Ivan promised to me in bed once she was asleep but that took a little while.

I fell asleep waiting for him; the chocolate slowly melting on my chest. But I woke to the feel of something wet along my chest. my eyes fluttered open, seeing Ivan licking up the chocolate. Yeah…I won't be sleeping much again tonight…
