126 Where is my artwork?

"Where are your hickeys?", Reyhan asked as if his world is devastated. The hard work he did some time ago is nowhere to see. Her skin was as plain as it was before their intimacy.

"What?", Sora exclaimed in shock and immediately covered her neck. She immediately brushed his hand off and moved back.

He pulled her with a light tug and made her sit in his lap.

"I asked where is my artwork that I did just some time ago?", Reyhan asked with a pout.

"Um, it may have been gone.", Sora shyly answered.

"How come? I did those deliberately so the world will know that you are mine.", Reyhan was scowling.

"I just took a bath no?", Sora asked with a hint of teasing.

"So?", Reyhan replied.

"So...water purified my skin. Let me tell you my secret. Water always helps me to heal my injury as a pure herb. You know we can bend all the elements. But water is my powerful resource."

"Humm", he again pouted.

'He looked cute when he made those expressions', Sora thought.

Sora was enjoying his condition as she knew he can't show their intimacy proof to others.

Reyhan was so aghast that he did not come to his senses even though Sora already swept off from his embrace and slept on the other side already.

Finally, both slept with the same pillow wall as usual just to prevent any accidents further.

The next day, when Sora woke up Reyhan was not in the room and she saw her dress and accessories. It must be kept by Reyhan and brought by Bob. When Sora came downstairs after taking a shower, she saw Reyhan cooking shirtless and only in his sweatpants. He seemed to have taken a bath in the other room. The smell of pancakes filled the air which causes her stomach to growl. Reyhan looked at her when he sensed her stare at the back.

Sora wearing a casual floral round neckline maxi A-line dress, pairing it up with nude and high-heeled pumps made comfortable by a two-inch platform. She looked simple yet refined. His breath hitched when he saw her.

"Hungry?", Reyhan asked, Sora's cheeks burned red due to the noises her stomach made and she quickly tried to fight the blush down. Reyhan sent her dashing grin.

"It's normal to be hungry from all the fun we had in the night."

Sora blushed softly when she heard him and sent him a scowl. Reyhan smirked. It's been a long time since he saw his Sora blush, he likes how her cheeks become red from blushing, she looked cute. It used to happen when they were together in their early days.

Sora ignored him and took a seat at the dining table. Flipping up the last pancake, Reyhan grabbed a plate, stacking the pancakes onto it before serving them to her with a warm expression on his face.

"Chocolate or Maple syrup?" Sora raised a brow and smiled.

"Both please." Reyhan handed her the bottles of syrups and she took them. Reyhan prepared a cup of coffee for them and came to sit beside her. A smile crawled up Reyhan's face as he watched Sora eat.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Sora asked when she saw him just staring at her without eating.

Reyhan shrugged and smirked.

"I enjoy watching you eat the food I prepared with a look of satisfaction on your face."

Sora snickered and rolled her eyes.

"Stop staring and eat," Sora said.

Reyhan nodded when he heard her and silently ate his pancakes, lost in his thoughts.

A dead silence fell between them, none of them wanted to speak first. The silence thickened every second they didn't speak. The silence made Sora feel uncomfortable so she stopped eating and looked up at him, her breath hitched when she caught him staring at her. Reyhan leaned over the table and licked the corner of her mouth. He raised his eyebrows at her and leaned back against the chair.

"You had syrup on your mouth." He said when he saw the questioning look on her face.

Sora blushed, "Oh", She muttered, looking down at the plate of pancakes to hide her embarrassment Reyhan chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Love, don't be shy. Let it happen again and again okay, I will take care of it."

After some silence Sora asked Reyhan, "Rey, you stopped last day because you already planned that we are not going too deep to do that right?"

"Yes, you are right. We have to wait till our marriage. We can't let anyone have reasons to object to our marriage especially when we are of opposite powers."

"Why? Do you think, it's a bad thing if we do it before we get married?", Sora asked again curiously rather to test her man.

"No, our parents will be furious if we are together without their consent. We both just got to know each other's actual identity now. I don't want our people to start a war because we do something improper."

"...but I promise I will give all the pleasures even though we are not planning to do that now. And I am showing my respect for our relationship by keeping it within a limit.", Reyhan winked at Sora which surprised her totally.

He never showed such a childish side of him and was almost serious in his attitude before the accident, but now it's good for them.
