Chapter 2: Taking the Risk
Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt.
"I can help you with that."
The hint of playfulness she always seemed to lace her every word was replaced by a spine-tingling borderline-seductive tone that left him breathless. He never knew she's capable of speaking in that manner. And to HIM of all people.
Opening his mouth, he managed to retort weakly looking at her directly, which he soon regret for her ever curious eyes glinted with lusty amusement drowning him in waves of powerful sinful submission.
"No. I'll handle it on my own."
The young woman would have left him to himself seeing that he openly refused her assistance but she didn't. She would have felt offended if not for the handsomely naked state of her boss. HER BLUSHING NAKED BOSS. Who was about to have his ARCTIC COLD shower. Oh hell yeah, she WILL NOT MISS this for the world.
"Oho~ that blush your body is sporting makes me think otherwise."
"It's because …"
"Because?"
He didn't even have a chance to reply for she swiftly went under the shower with him while grabbing his hands and yanking them away for her to see his other PROUD head.
"I can say I'm not disappointed. You really have a BIG head."
Lowering herself to his previously hidden body part, he stood shock at the thought of what his assistant was about to perform. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't even shake her away. He just stood there not knowing what to do. Should he stop her? Or should he let her, seeing that she wanted to—
"NARU!"
Mai's scream of his nickname was not the way he would want it to be. It sounded scared. Wait.
Looking up from his shower drenched locks, he realized he had already finished his LONG COLD morning wash.
What the fuc—I cannot believe I thought of that! Do I seriously need to get laid!? It was that bad that I unconsciously daydreamed of Mai giving me head!?
Quickly drying himself and donning on his casual clothes, he took a deep breath while slightly slapping his cheeks hoping it will give a boost of confidence to his already swelled personality.
"NARU!? C'mon this is not funny!"
Suddenly realizing that he had not yet answered to her worried pleas, he opened his door and was met with a teary-eyed Mai with a raised hand who obviously looked like she was going to pound on the wooden barrier mercilessly.
Stowing away his heated fantasy to the back of his mind, he arched a brow at her questioningly.
"Wanted to take a peek at me while in the bath, Mai?"
"As if! I was worried since you've been there for almost an hour!"
He would have kissed her senseless by now, his earlier musings returning twofold, but he managed to stop himself. He doesn't want to make a stupid mistake and end up losing her. Just the thought of it clenched his heart in a painfully saddening way.
"Really?"
Mai looked at him carefully. Her face showing a multitude of expressions then settled on a more caring look.
"You are really sick Naru. First, you woke up late on a work day. Secondly, you took an hour long shower. SHOWER, Naru. You never do that. Then, knowing you wasted a good sixty minutes you didn't even bother to put on your usual working clothes. I haven't even heard you whine about work yet. Seriously, Naru. What's eating you?"
You.
How he really want to say it. But he knows he shouldn't.
Seeing that Mai is going to do another of her annoying rant, and it is really pissing him off, he decided to tease her a bit.
"I'll kiss you if you don't shut up."
What the hell!? That was not what I was supposed to say! Oh shit. The look on her face. Oh my lord, she's adorable.
Mai in her blushing glory opened and closed her mouth many times unsure of what to do due to Naru's early statement. Thoughts crashed and buried emotions resurfaced making her unable to think clearly. Naru's words resonating in her already clouded mind.
Naru, on the other hand, looked perplexed at the flurry of emotions that clearly adorned his friend's face. How he loved the effect his teasing does.
"Ha! I know you won't do it. Kiss me, I mean."
His eyes widened at her for the sudden smug certainty of her sentence.
"What makes you say that?"
He's really curious now. Wanting and not wanting to know her answer. Maybe she doesn't have any romantic affection towards him anymore.
"Because you do not like me."
How he wanted to prove her wrong. He's almost at his limit of controlling and reminding himself of NOT DOING ANYTHING UTTERLY STUPID.
They stared each other down. The awkwardness seeping through his apartment and down the complex floor's hallway. They stood still not averting their eyes on anything but themselves. Neither of them wanting to break the moment.
How in wicked hell did this day turned to this!? How did we end up in this situation at all!?
They stood there for a good 5 minutes. Then Naru cautiously closed the distance between them and captured her lips in a sweet kiss.
Screw this.
He expected her to slap him away, punch him, castrate him but she didn't do any of those instead she deepened the kiss and moaned invitingly in his mouth making him pin her to the opposite wall of his apartment hallway.
I cannot believe this. I am really kissing her.
Mai then halted the almost growing passionate kiss earning her a frustrated glare from her boss.
"What?"
He almost snapped at her for stopping if not for the words that graciously left her swollen luscious lips.
"This is wrong."
