Daniel woke up slowly.The first thing he noticed was an empty space beside him where Anna had been.The sheet still carried the warmth of her body,But she was gone.He frown slightly,the weight of night doubts still lingering in his chest,"where had she gone"?He sat rubbing his hands on his face before swinging his legs to the corner of bed.The house was quite,save for the faint clinking of dishes downstairs.Strectching,he stood and made his way to the shower, the warm water easing the tension in his muscles, but doing doing little to calm his thoughts.
Afterwards,towel wrapped around his waist his headed downstairs. As he rounded the corner to the kitchen, the sight beside him bought a smile on his face.Their she was standing by the stove barefoot wearing one of his loose shirt, her hai pulled up in a messy but slightly loose bun.
She was looking effortlessly beautiful even with the smudge of flour dusting her cheek and counter around her, a chaotic mess of ingredients.
She was humming softly to herself,completely unaware of him watching her.The sunlight steamed through the window bathing her in a soft glow making her look almost ethereal.His heart swelled at the sight of her.
The Doubts of night before fading momentarily in the warmth of the morning without thinking, he move toward her.His steps quite on a tiled floor as he reached her.He wrapped his arms around her from back.She jumped slightly, surprised,but then relaxed into his embrace.
"why are you up so early",he whispered against her ear.His lips brushing her delicate skin just beneath her earlobe.
"you should be with me, i am not done with you yet".Anna laughed softly, her sound was like music to his ears.
"someone has to make breakfast",she teased.Though their was breathlessness in her voice now.
Daniel tightened his grip slightly.His hand resting on her hips as he pressed his body against hers.He could feel the soft rise and fall of her breathing.He could feel the warmth of skin through thin fabric of shirt.His fingers traced small circle on her waist.
A slow intimate touch that send shiver down her spine.
"Breakfast can wait", he murmured.His lips trailing down her neck.He kissed her softly tasting the faint salt of her skin mixed with sweet scent of flour.His breath was hot against her neck and he could feel the way she leaned to him.
Her body responding to his touch.Anna turned her head slightly,her eyes meeting his.There was a playful glint in them but also something deeper.A spark that sent a surge of desire through him.
He leaned in capturing her lips in a slow lingering kiss.The taste of her was intoxicating.Her lips soft and warm beneath his, and fir the moment the world outside the kitchen disappeared entirely.
It was just them,no past,no doubts, just the heat between them.
Her hands reached up tangling in his damp hair as she kissed him even harder this time, more urgent.He groaned softly against her mouth.His hands sliding up from her hips to the small of her back pulling her even closer the kiss deepened.His lips moving hungrily against her.
The soft moan that escaped her driving him wild.
when they finally broke apart.Both of them breathing heavily.Her cheeks flushed , her eyes dark with desire and Daniel could barely contain the rush of emotion that surge through them.
The flour on her face added to her messy, sensual beauty and he could not help but smile.
"you are a mess"he teased.
brushing his thumb across the smudge of flour on her cheek.
"And whose fault is that", she shot back, her voice still breathless.
there was a twinkle in her eyes as she turned back to the stove, more delicate now, as if there was still feeling of the effects of their kiss.
Reluctantly,Daniel let her go, though his hands lingered on her waist a moment longer. He watched her for a second, admiring the way her shirt draped over her figure, how her hair had become even more tousled in the aftermath of their kiss.
The moment felt simple yet perfect, intimate and real .It was the kind of moment that made him forget everything else.All the uncertainties and the weight of past.He loved here,deeply nothing else mattered.
After breakfast Anna finished getting ready.Her usual confident self as she pulled her hair into a more polished bun, slipped into her professional attire.And grabbed her things for work. She smiled at him before heading out of the door.
"Don't be late",she called over her shoulder with a wink.
Daniel stood their for a moment, and with a sigh he got dressed and headed out as well. knowing that despite every thing they had something worth onto.
