It was one of those lucky days I was off from doing Crownsguard duties. Nyx was working unfortunately and had to be called in for guard duty…. again. The poor man had gotten into trouble once more for disobeying orders. A man like him usually just follows his instincts, choosing to run headfirst into danger.
He and I were similar in that notion, but I would usually come up with a sound strategy before running into combat. It was what made us a good team, in both combat and as a couple.
I was cooking in the kitchen in the apartment we both shared. It was Nyx’s apartment at first, but since we had decided to live together in the rundown part of Insomnia, I had come to love it. I had tidied it up a bit to meet both our standards earlier so that he wouldn’t trip over anything when he got home.
Anyway, I was cooking in the kitchen when Nyx had come home. Looking towards him, I can tell he was tired.
He shucked off his jacket and kicked off his boots; after that, he came towards the kitchen and saw me.
“How was your day, babe?” Nyx asked me, kissing my head and heading towards the fridge.
“Per usual. Went shopping for groceries, cleaned up a bit, slept.” I answered him as I continued with the cooking. “I found your favorite brand of beer. Apparently they were almost out of stock for the day so grabbed the last few packs to last you.”
“Thanks, Ashley.” Nyx said, grabbing a cold one from the fridge. He was leaning against the counter and I could feel his eyes on me.
Looking to him, I smile, tilting my head to the side. “What? Is something on my face?”
“No, your face is beautiful like the rest of you.” Nyx said, coming up to face me, caging me by his arms on the stove and his body pressed up against mine.
I can always tell he was playful, but this time his face was just in pure admiration. “What is it? Surely its not my southern charm.” I tease using a bit of my accent that he loves so much.
“Actually…I just miss you.” Nyx confesses. “Its hard to concentrate while on duty. I don’t get to see you as much I want.” His face is close to mine, I can feel his breath.
I just smile to him, giving a chaste kiss on his lips. He smiles into the kiss as I pull away. “Can I have one more please, Ms. Poston?”
With that voice and a face like that, how can I refuse him? I kiss him once more, lingering there a few seconds more before I pull back. He wants more as he leans in, but I put a finger to his lips and push him away by his chest.
“If we keep this up, the food will burn and we would have to order takeout.” I tell him, pushing him away from me, turning my body back around to finish cooking. He’s still standing behind me and I feel him get close.
He hugs me from behind, kissing my cheek and neck. He uses this as a distraction, but I see him reach for the food and I try to smack his hand away. Nyx succeeds in getting a bite of food as I tell him to get.
He grabs his beer from the counter, but before he leaves the kitchen, he sneaks a feel of my rump. He’s out the kitchen before I attempt to kill him with a spoon.
