Breathless

When Shark finally lifted his head, his expression was stark, honest, intense. His Color high.

"I love you," he said. Plainly just like that, she gawked at him. "I love you. I do."

"Our first date, what do you think?"

"Mmh, fantastic. You did pull a lot of strings... I consider myself lucky." She looked around and acknowledged his great taste with everything.

"Let's make a toast for this new milestone."

"I'm starving because you fed me halfway." She complained.

"Give me another chance to feed you, will you?"

"Why not?" She intertwined her arm with his as they approached a large table with delicacies. As promised, Shark made her sit on his laps and opening a bottle of champagne, he poured the content into one glass and she wondered.

"I thought we were making a toast."

"I have a special toast for you, open your mouth."

"Seriously?" She scorned when Shark took one shot of the champagne and instead of gulping it down, he moved his lips and sealed her own with it. She swallowed as he made attempts to explore her mouth with his own tongue.

"You're so addictive....so sweet." He pulled away and took a fork in his hands. He stuffed vegetable salad into her mouth that she almost choked.

"Are you planning to kill me?"

"Sorry, here, have some water." He gave her a glass of water and she sighed loudly.

"I'm full." She muttered.

"Okay, let me hold you for a while then." Shark leaned his head on her back and she smiled to herself perhaps happy to have a man like Shark in her life. They stayed in each other's arms for a while until the music in the background turned into a lovely one.

"Whoa, that's Shayne Ward's Album 'Breathless.' I love it." She immediately jolted down on her feet.

"Do me the honor of dancing with me." Shark held her hand in his.

"Ask nicely...." She teased him.

"May have I have this dance, my lady." He mimicked the British accent.

"Aww, of course my Lord." She bowed down before giving him the other hand.

"Do I backflip or head spinning?" Shark asked wrapping his hands around her waist.

"All the dance moves....pull me closer and let's do dirty dancing." She tugged her hands on the collar of his shirt and he jerked forward pulling her closer to his chest. As they swayed their bodies from right to left, Yara hummed and Shark made an attempt to sing his vocals.

You leave me breathless

You're everything good in my life

You leave me breathless

I can't still believe that you're mine

You just walked out of one of my dreams

So beautiful, you're leaving breathless

"Your voice is sexy," Yara whispered into his ear making him gasp.

"Stop teasing or else I'll lose my willpower and take you out here." Shark warned her.

"And here I thought someone was always in control." She chuckled.

"Just let me sing for you before dusk, before sky turns dark and before you get cold." He swirled her round and then lifted her up. She squealed and laughed out loud. He then made an effort to bring her down gently and gave her a backflip.

"Uh! I'm amazed." She giggled leaning on his shoulders as they swung side to side.

"And if our love was a storybook...."

"We would meet on the very first page." She gave him back up.

"The last chapter would be about..."

"How I'm thankful for the life we've made."

"And if we had babies they would have your eyes..."

"No, I want my babies to have your eyes. Our children are going to look so beautiful." She jolted.

"You're the mother so they'll definitely be just like you." He played with her cheeks aiming to steal a kiss from her. She gawked at him as he leaned in to kiss her. She prepared herself psychologically for yet another breathtaking and wild making out. He nudged his nose against hers and their mouths fell sleepily together, already soft and open.

"Your mouth is so soft. Kiss me." Yara said and the next second, he was kissing her like crazy. Like his life depended on it. His tongue slipped inside her mouth, gentle but demanding and it was nothing like she had experienced before. She suddenly understood why people described kissing as melting because every inch of her body dissolved into his. Her fingers gripped his hair pulling him closer. Her veins throbbed and her heart exploded. She had never wanted anyone like that before. His lips tasted like honey. He was all wonderful and she wanted him closer closer closer.

Every second and every minute she yearned for him. No one had ever kissed her like that before. Only Blake had kissed her before, and that was like getting pushed squarely on the mouth and pushing back.

Shark's kisses were all taking. Like he was drawing something out of her with soft little jabs of his chin. She brought her fingers up to his hair and she couldn't open her eyes. The sudden heaving as he pulled away made her believe she couldn't get enough of him.

"You're shivering and I don't want you to get sick. There are many rooms in this building and you can choose the one you like... for the both of us." He said.

"There's no need for that, actually I miss my old man. Can we sleep at my place tonight. I also want to give him the good news."

"As you wish my queen." He kissed her forehead and gave her a brief hug before leaving the roof top. The duo left the Lovers Tower unaware that they were being followed.
