Dared me to handle the cold, now with me as I treat you with fire.

When I come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Lan Zhan was sitting on my reading a book that I gave him. Hearing the door open, he looks up at me as he keeps it aside. I smile at him and walk over to the bed. I climb on it, and sit on Lan Zhan's lap with my thighs on either side of his legs, taking him by surprise.

I wrap my arms around his neck and place my lips on his kissing him gently. I slightly pull away, still keeping my face close to his, I sensually caress his lower lip with my thumb.

He looks up into my eyes, trying to figure out what I wanted, and I answer him by connecting our lips again, starting a rather fervent kiss. Our tongues meet and they dance together. I slip my hands under the hem of Lan Zhan's t-shirt and caress his sides, lifting it up in the process. I pull away to remove it completely.

"Are you sure about this?" Lan Zhan asks.

I smirk. "You don't get to say it after teasing me like that," I reply. "Besides, aren't you?" I purr and his eyes darken.

He crashes his lips to mine, pushing his tongue into my mouth, swirling them together. I bite his lower lip, making him release a low groan and then I lick it to soothe the pain. Our hands were all over each other, caressing, grabbing what they could get a hold of, trying to get more and more of each other.

I grind our crotches together, and Lan Zhan releases a groan into my mouth with that unexpected impact. Satisfied with the response I keep at it. My moans were muffled by his mouth

At once, he grabs me by my waist and lowers me to the bed. He gets on top of me and kisses me again, making it more and more intense each second.

He pulls away and hooks his fingers on the waistband of my boxers. I lift myself up, letting him take it off.

He grazes his nails up my member, making me hiss and then slowly strokes me with his slender fingers, sending shivers down my spine. Keeping me distracted with it, he enters his finger into me.

In a while, his second finger enters, and it slightly stings. I bite my lip containing my voice in. At the third one, a painful groan escapes my mouth.

"Does it hurt?" he asks, moving away from my neck.

"It's okay, go on."

The feeling of his lips on my neck distracts me a bit from the discomfort. I grab the sheets to stop myself from groaning again.

He stops his actions at once.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Protection?"

"Nightstand. Last drawer." I reply. The little shopping I did earlier go well.

He takes off his remaining clothes and now I'm staring at him with wide eyes, with a little doubt in myself.

He prepares himself and gets on top of me again. He gently pushes himself into me, and give up controlling my voice. I'm glad that I waited till we have the house to ourselves. It did hurt, but this feeling somewhere in between pain and pleasure made me see stars.

There were whispers and moans formed by our voices and kisses that silenced them from time to time. All I knew was that I was lost in his arms and I wanted nothing but more of him.

"Did I hurt you?" he asks as we lie close to each other after our lovemaking. "We don't have to do it again if I did."

Lan Zhan... Modest as always... "Of course I liked it. And we definitely should do it again."

He chuckles and I feel his breath on my hair. His warmth was comfortable, and the exhaustion I felt was welcoming.

I doze off with the lights still turned on.

When I wake up, I was hugging a pillow instead of Lan Zhan. My mind does a quick recap of last night's events and a load of feelings flow in my mind. Whoa, not the best decision. This is definitely not the time to awaken Xian Jr.

I quickly wash up and change into a sweater and some shorts and step out of my room.

I don't think I've even dreamt of this, because this is something I thought I'd never get.

He was standing next to the kitchen counter, with his back facing me.

I walk to the kitchen and stand next to him, putting an arm around his waist. "You're cooking."

"Mn. Good morning."

"Mooorning." I pull him down from his neck to get my kiss.

The sweet smell of pancakes was filling the kitchen, and even though I usually try to skip breakfast, I start feeling hungry. I grab two mugs and start making coffee, and knowing that Lan Zhan doesn't drink coffee, I make a tea separately.

Is this what it would be like to live together? To wake up every morning knowing that I would find him somewhere within the four walls of our house... Whoa, I've started to think that far.

"What are you thinking?" Lan Zhan asks, bringing me back to Earth.

"About you," I say while handing his tea to him.

"I'm right here." He teases back.

"Hmm, you are. But thinking about you feels too good."

"Flirt." He mumbles with red ears.

I prepare the table for two. Lan Zhan keeps the plate with pancakes in the middle of the table. He serves me a few with fresh berries and syrup. I wait for him to serve himself to start eating.

The moment the first bite touched my mouth, I wouldn't be surprised if there were stars in my eyes in the way comic characters do. It.was.just.so.tasty.

"What's wrong?" he asks, seeing that I've stopped eating.

"From whom did you learn to cook?" I ask.

"Self-learned. Is everything okay?" he was a bit concerned.

"No! How can you cook this well?"

The blush in his ears was back again. "I always make my own breakfast."

"Is there anything you can't do?" I ask.

"Don't talk while eating." He says in his usual tone.

I smirk. "Okay, okay. Anything to enjoy this meal."

We've learned that we can spend hours just cuddling each other just like we're doing now. The conversations come and go, and the silence has never been unbearable. It all flew smoothly, naturally responding to each other, as if we were meant to be bonded.

Is this what it's like to have a soulmate?

The movie we started to watch ended some time back and now we were lying on the couch, with me on top of him, with my head on his chest. He was stroking my hair with one hand, and the other was protectively wrapped around me. A perfect time to fall asleep. But my mind was wide awake thinking about yesterday night.

Shijie will probably come back tonight. And I have no intention of letting Lan Zhan go.

I lift myself up and sit on Lan Zhan's hip. The look on his face said that he understood where this was going.

I move down to kiss him, hungrily, and he responds with an equal amount of passion, tongues dancing and hands roaming around carelessly. I was already addicted to his lips, longing to taste them every time I see him. The kiss continues, getting more and more intense, breaking away only to catch our breath.

I slide my hand into his sweatpants, palming him way too slowly, making him release a groan.

He stands up, somehow managing to not break the kiss. I wrap my legs around him to make myself steady. I pull away and look into his hungry eyes, and I know that I've awakened something in him that only I can tame.

He carries me into my bedroom. And I make sure that my door is locked. Just in case...
