20: My Heart Skipped A Beat

*Nom*

*Nom*

*Nom*

*Gulp*

"Is it good?", Raiver stopped chewing his burger and looked at Leo.

Leo is smiling at Raiver's direction. He is energetically eating his ordered burger and fries.

Looks like Raiver's taste still remained.

After the consultation of Raiver's health, the doctor said that he still needs to be confine two more days.

The doctor is so surprised at his fast recovery. Usually, patients with this kind of injuries stays at the hospital for more than a week. But in Raiver's case, just five days passed and his wounds are on its way to heal without a trace of scar.

Although skeptical, the doctor said nothing. After all, the patient is no ordinary one. If he wants to keep his head intact, he better not say anything that will make the infamous tyrant mad.

The whole hospital treated them with all the care they could offer to make their stay as comfortable as possible.

"It is. Want some?", Raiver offered his remaining half burger to Leo.

Leo shook his head.

"I am full"

"But you haven't eaten breakfast yet", Raiver worriedly said.

This brought warmness to Leo's heart.

His mate is worried for him. For the past couple of days that Leo lived with Raiver after he found him, Raiver remained distant, naughty and somewhat cold.

Even though Raiver seemed to tease Leo, he didn't continue to do so. As if he was afraid of something.

This made Leo sexual frustrated.

With how his mate's appearance improved, Leo is struggling to keep his control and pin Raiver on the bed.

"I feel full after seeing you eat", Raiver then blushed from what he said.

Seriously? This man knows how to make me embarrassed from this situation!

Raiver looked down. Redness spread from his face to his ears and neck.

Leo chuckled and looked at the pile of burger's wrapper on the other side of Raiver.

Yes, his tastes did not change but the amount that he is eating feels like feeding a whole neighborhood.

Leo remembered that his mate has weak stomach. So, he always worried about his health and eating habits.

But now, seeing how Raiver finished a mountain of burgers in one go made Leo's stomach feel full.

Even excluding the number of fries that Raiver ate, will make anyone feel bloated for him.

Leo's hunger went away after seeing so much food being eaten in one gulped.

His lips just twitched when he saw how bloated Raiver's stomach is. And how fat his cheeks looks like right now.

Leo grabbed Raiver's face and turn it to his direction.

His face is as red as tomatoes.

His eyes are sparkling. As if pleading to stop what Leo is doing.

Raiver's face couldn't get as red as now after Leo used his hand to wipe the cheese stain from the side lips of Raiver.

Leo's face is so close to his face. His handsome face seemed to sparkle from the sunlight from the windows. His jeweled-like eyes are shining under the luminated light of the sun. His pointed nose almost touched his nose. His hot breath grazed his cheeks.

He felt like he is under the barrage of continues attacks of Leo's handsomeness.

His still heart that has maintained a constant heartbeat for millions of years began to erratically beat for the first time.

Raiver's heart kept on pounding. He couldn't move. The mesmerizing face of this very person has captured his attention.

'Why haven't I noticed this handsome face?'

Raiver unconsciously bit his lip.

'Sh*t! Am I a gay now?', Raiver got shocked from his realization, his eyes widened.

This move caught Leo's eyes and he smirked.

Seems like his unintentional move made his ex-wife's heart pounding.

The way Raiver unconsciously grabbed his chest. It says it all. Leo still have effects on his mate.

Base from his reactions, Raiver got struck by his infamous panty-dropping face.

One of Leo's prides besides his money is his face.

There is no one in the world that hasn't fallen for this God level face. Whether if it is men, women, old, child, everyone that had seen his face either fell in love or has an admiration and envy in their eyes.

Who wouldn't?

With just his eyes, one could get captivated on how beautiful his heterochromia eyes looked like. His well-built body, domineering height and overall facial feature would be listed as one of the people who got listed for the most beautiful people in the world.

Obviously, Leo took pride in his handsome face.

At first, he thought that Raiver wouldn't fall for his face because of how his mate have seen it for years.

Thankfully, his biggest asset worked!

Now he needs to work his way and take advantage of stunned Raiver.

Leo's face slowly got closer to Raiver's face. His hot breath brushing his nose. The fresh mint from his breath. His eyes that seem to hypnotize the frame of his.

Raiver couldn't move his body nor blink from this tyrant's eyes.

He closed his eyes as Leo's face is inch away from his lips.

Leo couldn't help to look at Raiver's pinkish and luscious lips. Being tempted to kiss this soft pair of lips, he placed his hand behind his mate's head and look at Raiver's closed eyes.

'I have never been tempted in my whole life before.'

As their lips were centimeters away, the door burst open which startled the pair.

*THUD!*

"Eyoo love birds! How are y-… Yo, you ok amigo?", Hanes went to help his friend from his skinship to the floor.

"Nice timing Hanes", Leo replied sarcastically.

"Welcome amigo. By the way, what were you doing swimming on the floor man? I didn't know you have a thing for flat and cold surfaces. Such weird fetish you got there"

"Shut up Hanes!", Hanes just raised his hands in surrender towards Leo.

Raiver couldn't help but to laugh. He remembers his brother and him being like this. Roasting each other in front of so many people.

Even though he knows who and where this big dude come from, Raiver pretended to remain ignorant of this fool's identity.

"Hello there, mi amigo's ex-wife. I'm Hanes", He held his hands for a handshake but got disappointed that Raiver didn't receive it.

"Ex-wife? You're mistaken Mister. We've never been married", Raiver replied with a look of confusion.

Hanes retreated his hands and scratch the back of head.

"What do you mean I'm mistaken?", Leo wrapped his arm around Hanes shoulder and using his other hand squeezed Hanes' shoulder.

"Hanes he is the person I've been talking to you about", Hanes' brows furrowed.

"About?", Leo looked at his friend as if signaling him to ride the nonsense he is saying.

"Ohhh…" *awkward laugh*

"Yeah, I remember amigo. He is what you are talking about"

"Talking about?", Hanes continued his statement in whisper.

"Later", Leo also replied in whisper.

"Excuse me but who are you supposed to be in Leo's life?", Raiver butted in their conversation.

"Oh, ah I'm Leo's best friend. Since high school. I'm an alpha so don't worry about me taking away your lover", Hanes smirked.

"Oh, I see", Raiver blushed from Hanes comments.

"It's good to see that your healthy man. By the way, what were you two doing before I came inside of the room?", the blushed face turned into pure red color.

Raiver couldn't look at Hanes face. He is so embarrassed right now.

All he wants to do now is to be eaten by the hospital bed.

Out of all question, you have to blurt out this awkward phrase.

He can still the hypnotizing eyes of Leo's. His hot mint breath that seductively brushed his skin. His warm hands that caressed his hair. And his red lips that seemed to taste his own lips into a hot and passionate kiss.

Raiver hid his face by his hands.

Thinking about it, if Leo succeeds into kissing his lips.

It would be his first kiss in his life!

'Oh my gosh! How could I think of such thing!', Raiver's cheeks heated and he hid his face using his hands from Hanes prying eyes.

Not only Raiver's face is as red as the bright crimson blood, but also Leo's.

Seeing the embarrassed reaction from the two of them, Hanes teasingly flash his smile.

'It appears like I have disturbed such sweet moments of these two. Welp, can't help it, I should buy a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign as compensation', looking at teasing smile of Hanes, Leo just sighed.

"What are doing here?", Leo changed the subject.

Hanes who got this changing-topic tactic, did not further push for his earlier inquiry.

"I came to visit your long-lost lover man. Also, I want to talk to you about something"

"As you can see Raiver is all well", getting the hint from Hanes, Leo highlighted the part where Hanes got worried.

It seems like there are problems that needs to discuss.

And this did not escape Raiver's attention.
