~ Los Angeles, the Cliffside villa ~
Later that evening…
Michael and Oni entered their apartment, and both a relief when the door closed behind them.
"Now your work with the new base is completed, right?", Oni asked Michael while wrapping her arms around his neck.
Michael hugged Oni around her waist and pulled her closer while humming in confirmation. "With Masika being there, my job is reduced to reading her reports. The first few days are critical, but Sarah and Aiden are still in Europe, so in case of an emergency, they will be there. And with Noah staying in Los Angeles, he will handle the army, so I don't need to help Haru with that."
Oni felt butterflies in her stomach when he leaned for a kiss. They kissed many times, but now that this extra pesky work is done, they will have more time for themselves and the inevitable is about to happen!
Michael nudged her cheek with his nose and murmured: "Do you want to shower first, or should I?"
