The sound of water boiling, the air fryer's fan running, and the smell of brownies setting in the oven–which filled the cozy cottage that you settle in, called home. While you're busy wiping the countertops and turning over the partially cooked salmon, you hear the keys to the door jingle, indicating that your fiancé is home.
After turning off the stove top, you hurry to the front door to welcome kayden home with warmth that, he admits, feels different than anything that he's ever felt before.
"You're right on time! Dinner is ready, i made your favorite." you say to the tall figure towering over you, with his hands at the top of the door frame. "You know the way to my heart." kayden replied with a slight curve on his lips, his eyes soft on you.
Kayden looks down at the table, realizing there is only one meal. "Aren't you gonna eat, my love?" he asks while looking back up at you. "I got full after multiple taste testing," you chuckle at the long-haired man.
The table is set, the whole house is dim, and the two of you sitting facing each other at the dinner table–lit up by ambient lighting in the background of the kitchen.
“Okay, I’ll help myself then.” his smile soft.
As Kayden is enjoying his heart-filled dinner, he realized you have been staring at him for an odd amount of time. “How was today’s session?” you cut the silence with a question. “Like usual, jiwoo's getti..." kaydens ramble gradually becomes unfocused as your mind wander to things further.
You placed your hand on kaydens big, rough hands, and he's slightly startled by the sudden touch. Suddenly, the lingering smell of the kitchen wears off as kaydens fainting cologne invades your sense of smell instead. His eyes sharp and alert, his broad shoulders complementing his firm biceps, strands of his hair hanging over his forehead, and his lips. His lips, ever so delicate and peach, make you wanna devour him and kiss him all over.
"Is something bothering you?," kayden questioned while still lightly chewing.
A spark of curiosity lit his dark blue eyes as they met your own, which were wide with a feeling you couldn't hold back.
There was a pause that seemed too long.
Your gaze flickered between Kayden and the bedroom, a silent invitation lingering in your eyes, hinting at a desire left unspoken.
Your hair dangling over your shoulders, head tilted to one side increasing your cute stats, long lashes fluttering over glistening eyes, complementing your pinky cheeks.
This view of you is something else, causing him to pause his chewing, even slightly choking on his food. He withdraws his hand from your grasp, reaching for a tissue to wipe his mouth, his movements laced with nervousness and his warm cheeks matching yours.
Kayden exhales softly, setting his utensils down before rising up from his seat. Without a word, he effortlessly lifts you into his arms bridal-style towards the bedroom. As he strides towards the bedroom, you find your way to his hair, undoing his ponytail with a gentle tug.
Your eyes travel from his navy blue strands to his well-defined jaw, then to his smirk, filled with excitement and a hint of fluster.
