I raised my hands and placed it in between the crook of Duane's neck and shoulder. Seeing that I didn't resist his kiss, Duane pulled me close with his hand on my back and deepened the kiss. It was like Duane was waiting for my reaction before he makes his next move and I really appreciate it making me smile in between our lips.
Duane pulled back and looked at me with eyes full of desire but I could see that he was trying so hard to suppress it. Isn't he cute?
"You're not resisting?" Duane said and I couldn't help but chuckle in amusement.
"Why? Do you want me to?" I grinned.
"No."
I smiled and I liked how careful and considerate he was and not to mention that he was kind of submissive towards me. I glanced at the clock and it read quarter to ten in the evening already. Dos said that he will be back. I bit the insides of my cheek and stole a peck on Duane's slightly parted lips.
"Dos will be back around ten." I said and I gasped in surprise when Duane held my shoulders and pushed me down the bed.
"Then, let's not waste a minute." He said.
I was so stunned that I stayed still for a while as I felt my stomach turned and something just stirred inside me.
Shit!
***
As expected, Dos went back at exactly ten-fifteen. Duane and I were watching a movie when he came in. I was trying so hard to hide the loud beating of my heart because Duane kept on pulling me and trying to steal some kisses in the middle of the movie.
"Dos." I called and he happily threw himself in between me and Duane on the couch.
Romulus snorted at Dos, who was happily grinning.
"Did you..." I didn't finished what I was about to ask.
He looked like he already mated with Jean but I didn't think it was the case since he doesn't smell like it. Maybe something good happened.
Dos chuckled. "Don't mind me." He said with a huge smile pasted on his face like he had gone insane.
"Don't mind you? You're in between us." I said and Dos turned to me then to Duane who was quietly looking at the movie.
"Ouh! Sorry." Dos chuckled and stood up without complaining then transferred beside Duane, grabbing the bowl of popcorn and started watching the movie silently but I know his mind wasn't there at all.
I looked at the space in between me and Duane. I cleared my throat as I slowly and silently nudge myself closer to him. My face heated up when Duane noticed me. I stopped when our knees were already bumping and then I grinned at Duane.
The movie ended with Dos sleeping with his head hung on the back rest of the couch. Duane helped me clean the mess and made sure that everything were in place then he glanced at Dos who was still on the couch, sleeping.
"I'll take care of him." I said and Duane nodded his head.
Duane grabbed his coat that was hanged on a chair and the turned to me.
"It's late. Thank you for letting me spend the rest of your day with me. I am so glad."
I nodded. "Nuh, I should be the one thanking you for dinner."
Duane shook his head and reached for my hand. I liked how warm his hand on mine that I didn't want him to let go. "I'll see you later." Duane said.
My face heated up when Duane raised my hand and pressed his lips on the back, his eye not leaving mine. I just stood frozen as I watched him, my face heating up. Duane smiled feeling satisfied of my reaction before he let go of my hand.
"You..." I glared at him. "Tell me before you do something like that." I said and placed my hand that Duane kissed in the front pocket of my shorts feeling embarrassed.
"I will the next time."
"Bold of you assume that there will be a next time." I said.
I could see it in Duane's face that he was fighting himself from not grinning after hearing me. I would seriously knock his front teeth if he laugh at me.
"Of course. We'll do more than just kissing hands in the future." He teased even more and I felt so embarrassed hearing him say something like that that I kicked him on his shin making him jump in surprise.
How could he casually say something like that!?
"Go home. It's late already." I said and bid him goodbye.
When I went inside the room, I threw my hands on my face and groaned feeling my face heating up. I couldn't believe my mind just now! I was waiting or more like hoping for Duane to give me a real goodbye kiss and not just on my hand.
"What the hell!?" I groaned. "Why the hell would you expect him to do something like that?"
"'Cause he usually do it before... but it's not like I already got used to it. No, no, no..." I hit my head with the heel of my hand. "It's late, you just need rest to clear your mind."
I nodded my head feeling satisfied and convinced with my thoughts.
"What in the bloody hell are you murmuring there?" Dos asked, turning his sleepy head to me while sitting on the couch.
I stood up straight.
"Did Duane not give you a goodbye and goodnight kiss?" Dos stood up yawning as he walked towards the bedroom.
"How... As if I'll let him!" I exclaimed and I couldn't stop my self from not blushing.
Dos laughed and I seriously wanted to knock him out this time. Did he heard me mumbling a while ago? I groaned as I walked after Dos and threw myself on my bed feeling exhausted but my thoughts were still filled with Duane.
I kicked my legs inside the blanket for letting Duane inside my mind.
