"Oh really, can you step forward, Arsenio?" I asked him with a straight face.
His mocking smirk fell off his face. His eyes widened as if, he was a little boy who was caught by his momma while stealing a cookie. I internally laughed at his expression, but I didn't let it show on my face.
"How about I show you something cool, as a peace offering?" He rushed out and tried to bribe me. He approached me slowly with cautiousness as if, he was going to be eaten by a monster if he made a wrong move.
At this point, my inner self was rolling with laughter on the ground. He looked like an innocent child.
Serves him right for teasing me, I crossed my arms and gave him a cool look as if, his peace offering was not enticing me. But deep down, I was curious about his peace offering.
"You know, only the other person has to decide whether it is cool or not," I told him with a raised eyebrow.
"Let us see if you still think the same after experiencing it by yourself." He told me confidently.
He looked at me like he was provoked to prove his worth to me.
Wait! What did he mean by 'Experience it yourself '
Before, I could process his words he started to undo the buttons of his shirt in a seducing way. His actions were agonizingly slow but graceful.
My mouth became dry as the Sahara, and my heart started to hammer against my chest. He gave me a smug look as if he knew that his actions were affecting me.
His smoldering green eyes were locked with my pale blue eyes while undoing his buttons. I squirmed at my spot, visibly, but I could not look away from his eyes.
"Wh…what are you doing?!" I squeaked like a mouse and gulped with anticipation.
"Undoing my shirt buttons, what is the matter? You seem anxious all of a sudden." His tone held a hint of mockery to it.
He slowly made his way to me. His steps were elegant like the god of erotica. I could see his smooth and blemish-free muscles with every button that was being undone. His muscles were rigid and the little sweat on his skin made it glow under the sun.
"Cat caught your tongue, huh?" he smirked at me, with that he discarded his shirt on our blanket and stood closer to me.
My lips parted for a comeback but nothing came out of it. The action drew his emerald green eyes to my lips. I could see his pupil dilate and darkened with need.
Need for what? I didn't know.
"Ready to experience my peace offering?" he asked me. He was standing so close to me.
His voice was huskier. I could feel his body heat and masculinity oozing out of every pore of his body. I was mesmerized by him. My eyes refuse to stray away from his face.
His gaze was also solely focused on me. I slowly nodded my head at him as if, I was in a trance. He gently took my hands in his and pulled me closer to him. My front pressed against his hard chest. I could feel every ridges and dip of his hard front.
He was towering over my small figure. I strained my neck up, to look at his face. He bent down to my height and wrapped my arms around his neck. I had never seen anything beautiful like his face in my entire existence.
After making sure that my arms were wrapped around his neck, he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his forehead against mine.
My skin tingles with his proximity and we both were sticking to each other as if, our life depends on it. I could feel and hear his hot breath against my skin.
A delicious shiver ran down to the length of my spine. My heart was beating so fast, my palms were sweating with anxiousness. I was getting cold feet. I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins, my stomach dropped low.
God! I was a bundle of nerves, right now.
"Ready," he asked me with his deep voice which was laced with hunger.
Hunger for what? I didn't know.
I nodded my head at him, which made my nose brush against his nose, softly. My stomach fluttered with anticipation. Suddenly there was a swooshing sound from his behind and then I was pulled up from the ground.
My grip on his neck tightened, which made me get closer to him as if, it was even possible. On instinct, I wrapped my legs around his torso with a squeak.
He was looking up at the sky and my face was leveled up with his Adam's apple. I gulped down the gorgeous sight in front of him.
His neck looked strong and we defined, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down whenever he gulped. I felt like running my tongue along the length of his neck and suck on his Adam's apple.
What the heck! Where did this thought come from?
It must be the sun. Yes! That was the reason why I was having these dirty thoughts about him. I tried to reason out.
Really? Was that the reason? My inner self questioned me with mockery. I glared at her and shut her off from my mind.
We were flying high above the ground. My stomach somersaulted when he flew higher from the ground. I looked down at the zooming-out places.
"I am flying," I mumbled with a flabbergasted tone.
"Oh my god! I am flying!!!" I exclaimed which made him look down at my face and he chuckled at my expression.
"Yes, you are flying." He laughed at me.
I was clinging on to him like a monkey. I could see some migrating birds flying beside us. I swear I saw one of the birds widen its eyes at the mere sight of us. As if, it couldn't believe that humans were flying. It fluttered its wings and flew away from us to the other side.
"I couldn't believe this. It was crazy," I giggled at the sensation, I was getting from flying with him. I observed our surroundings.
He lowered us a little and flew us through the greenery. It was much beautiful sight than the previous picture, so this was how it feels to be surrounded by trees while you fly. I thought to myself.
"So, this is how you feel every time you fly?" I asked him with curiosity.
"I don't know how you feel, but I am so used to flying since I was born with wings. It is like, asking someone how you feel while walking if that makes sense." He explained me.
I nodded my head in understanding. That made sense.
"But I feel free whenever I fly. If that is the answer you are looking for." He told me, genuinely and flew us closer to the lake. I hummed at his answer.
The water was crystal clear and I could see the bottom of the lake from this height. I could make out some fishes swimming.
"Hold on tight!" he warned me.
Suddenly, he hugged me closer to his chest and gave me the illusion of falling into the lake which made me scream my lungs out, he laughed heartily at my reaction.
But, when he reached closer to the surface of the lake, he spread his mighty wings and flew horizontally to the surface.
I extended one arm towards the water and felt it at the tip of my fingers, as we flew by the surface the water was very cold against my skin.
I felt so high, right now. Arsenio's mighty feathers were spread across the never-ending blanket of the blue sky. I touched his shoulder with the tip of my fingers and slowly trailed down to the base of his wings.
I could feel his intense gaze on me but he didn't stop me from what I was doing. He just observed me beneath his eyelashes.
He probably thought I was some curious child who was seeing an elephant for the first time in her life. His feathers were so soft and smooth, like silk. It was a little fluffy and stuffed with many barbules, at the same time, his feathers looked very strong and hard at the top.
I looked up at him, our gazes locked with each other, causing a thick atmosphere around us. There was this unexplainable tension between us and our current position was not helping us either.
My womanhood was throbbing with need. I wondered whether he could feel it since I was literally straddling his torso and his face was only a few inches away from me. His eyes were so intense.
"Adeline…" My name rolled off his tongue like butter. His grip on my hips tightened. He closed the distance between us and pressed his lips against mine.
