Chapter 139 - Ocean – New Year’s Eve Part 3

Ocean

~~

I could not believe that Makai had just asked me to marry him. What the hell had he been thinking? Honestly! We're still in high school, for crying out loud. Why did he want to get married so soon?

Though, I did say yes. And I didn't say yes just because I felt pressured to do so. No, I said yes because I really do love him and, well, I have been thinking about it too. It's been on my mind ever since my family brought it up.

And, well, just think about all the reactions we will get when we go off to school. That will be a little fun, awkward too, but still fun. Now that he asked me, though, I was excited about it. I mean, who actually gets to get married straight out of high school. That will be a story to tell people someday.

After that nice and exciting part of our night was over, it was time for us to finish our dinner. Makai really had done good on setting up this date at the last minute. He had gotten my favorite foods, some great looking desserts, and blew my mind away with his out of nowhere question. This was already quite an amazing night. And I guess it was a great way to ring in the new year.

"Did you have enough?" Makai asked me as he saw that my plate was getting empty. 

"Yeah, plus we have the dessert." I smiled at him as he tried to offer me more food. Normally, I probably would have eaten more, but I knew what was coming after we were done eating and I didn't want to be too full for that. That might be a bit uncomfortable.

"Which dessert do you want?" Makai was being so attentive and doting right now. Was this just because I had agreed to marry him?

"Whatever one is fine with me. You pick." I tried to make him choose first.

"No." He shook his head at me. "I bought two specifically so that you could have the one that you wanted out of them." He really wanted me to pick.

"Then how about we share them both." He seemed to be elated by my suggestion.

"You want to share them?" Excitement blazed behind his seafoam green eyes. That was a dangerous look, it made all sorts of thoughts run through my head.

"Yeah, we can eat them together."

I was encouraging the intimacy. I was trying to bring us closer. I wasn't suggesting that we split the two desserts on our plates and eat them separately. No, I wanted us to share them. I wanted them to be split evenly by us bite for bite.

I picked up the first dessert, a small take out container that had some cannoli from Serafina's. They were good and I have had them several times before.

"Come here." I grinned at Makai and he did just as I told him to. He practically fell out of his chair to kneel next to me again. The look he gave me basically said the words that his mouth didn't. 'Yes, my love.' He was such a dork.

"Say ahh." I knew he would do it, so I didn't have to worry about that. He opened his mouth and looked at me with his expectant eyes. I didn't make him wait too long.

I took one of the cannoli from the container and took a small bite of it. The thick and sweet cream mixed with the flakey and delicious fried pastry crust just seemed to melt on my tongue as soon as I bit into it. It was sweet, saccharine, and perfect.

Now that I had taken a quick bite, I moved the pastry to Makai's mouth. That expectant look of his had turned heated the moment he watched me bite the pastry first. He knew that I was meaning that I wanted him. That I was giving him a kiss as indirectly as I could with this maneuver of mine.

I slid the dessert into my man's mouth, and he bit down on it slowly, almost sensually. I felt a shiver run through me and it had been fueled by desire and need. He was already making me want to rush straight into bed. But I was having fun with this right now.

"Mmm, that is good." Makai grinned at me and picked up the other dessert that he had gotten. It was a different take out container from a different restaurant. This one was filled with a couple of slices of cake that were topped with a thick layer of frosting. "How about I feed you a bite now."

I watched as Makai swiped his finger through the frosting and licked it off of his finger. He did it again, coating his finger in the gold colored, sugary confection. With the frosting on the tip of his finger he leaned in toward me and brought his finger to my lips. I didn't hesitate. I was more than happy to open my mouth and lick the frosting from his finger. 

His finger rolled across my tongue along with the sugary frosting. I didn't taste the frosting at all though, all that my senses picked up was his natural flavor of oranges and vanilla cream. He tasted so perfect.

"Oops." He smirked at me when he pulled his finger away from my mouth. "I got some on your lips." He was leaning close again, smiling mischievously. "I can take care of that."

At that, Makai pressed his lips against mine. He instantly pressed his tongue to my bottom lip as he lapped away the frosting and encouraged me to open my mouth for him. The moment my mouth was open, he slid his tongue inside and deepened the kiss between us. It was passionate and heated, and exactly what I wanted at that moment.

Several moments later, Makai finally pulled away from me. We were both breathless and I know that I looked needy. I couldn't help it, I wanted him. I wanted him right then and there.

"I'm going to take a quick shower." He pulled away from me, surprising me completely. "You can take one after me." He was already on his feet and rushing for the door.

"What the hell?" I was so surprised by his abrupt departure. I mean, yeah we had been showering separately while his parents were here, but we were alone now. We didn't need to do that now. When I followed him though, I saw that he had locked the door behind him.

Did he not want to shower with me anymore? That was so mean.

Well, I wasn't about to just sit out here and do nothing. I was going to drown my sorrow and loneliness in sugar. Maybe I completely misread the situation and he didn't want to be with me tonight. I mean, he had basically said that he wanted to fuck my brains out, just not in those words. So, why was he pulling away from me now? Did I do something wrong?

I did my best to ignore it, to ignore him and the sound of the shower, as I ate my half of the dessert that he had bought us. I was a bit pissed off though.

After about ten minutes or so, I heard the bathroom door opening. He was done and coming out in nothing but a towel.

"Forgot my clothes." He chuckled.

"No shit Sherlock. You all but ran away from me." I snapped at him as I strode past him and into the bathroom for my shower. Maybe now he would know that I was mad at him.

I was just going to hurry up and shower. But then again, I wasn't in a big rush to get back to the bedroom either. Maybe I should take my time and stretch this out as best as I can.

My shower ended up being long and slow. I had the water on hot and was letting it relax the tension in my body. I scrubbed my body clean and made sure that I didn't miss anything.

Following the shower, I blow dried my hair, brushed my teeth, I even gargled with mouthwash and flossed thoroughly. I wasn't going to skip a single step.

Well, I too had forgotten my clothes as I stormed into the bathroom past my buttheaded boyfriend. Now I needed to wrap a towel around my waist and head to the closet.

I made sure the white cotton towel was firmly in place before I opened the bathroom door. I was fully prepared to ignore him and just get dressed. That was, until I heard the sound of a party blower coming from the bed.

When I turned my head to see what had caused the noise, I saw the most shocking site in the world.. This was way beyond anything that I would have been expecting from Makai, and I now knew why he had done what he did.
