Francy's p.o.v

Later that day, I begged my parents to let me see Elric just for a little while, especially to make amends for this morning.

Luckily they agreed because Ace finally decided to go back home and sleep there for few days as he and Elric needed a break.

That meant I could finally have Elric without interruptions at least for an hour..

I put on a cute pink spring dress with long sleeves. I wanted to look flirty for date night considering we haven't been on a proper night date in months.

I unlocked the door with my card and got in. As soon as I took off my shoes Elric showed up excited at the door and picked me up in his arms. He pressed his lips on my neck, kissing me playfully up and down.

Suddenly he almost tripped. "Ooopss..." He kept letting go of me and trying to hold me.

I laughed as he carried me inside and wrapped my arms around his neck not to fall.

We twirled around the room until we reached the stairs. He staggered and laughed with each step up the stairs and carried me to the couch. Once we were there he fell down with me on top of him.

"You're killing me here." I laughed. "We could've tripped and died."

"But we didn't."

"What's with you today? Your arms kept failing you. " I asked.

"Lesson learned. I need to go back to working out." He pressed me tight on his chest that I could hear his heartbeat.

"You missed me that much?" I whispered in his ear.

He moved his head to whisper in my ear too "You've no idea. Every morning, every night I think of holding you like this."

Ah. My heart was suddenly knocking on my chest. My stomach got butterflies.

He cuddled me even closer holding me with both his hands. " The more time I spend with you, the more I want to hold you tighter in my arms. I can never get over it, nor get enough of it."

He started caressing my back and then stroked my hair on the side while touching my neck gently. "You're more special to me than you could ever imagine...."

I pulled my head up to look at him and bit my lower lips. He just knew how to drive me crazy.

He brought his hands up and cupped my face. "Congratulations for single-handedly flipping my world upside down." he smiled.

I pressed my lips on his and then I slid down next to him on the couch.

"Why are you red in the face?" I suddenly noticed the small blush.

"I burned a bit today. Shoulders too. Stupid party." He smiled.

"But you had fun." I smiled. I could just tell by his mood that he had a good time.

He smiled and kissed the tip of my nose.

I bit my lower lip. "You're my safety net from the world, but when I'm with you I'm at constant risk of a heart attack. My heart goes off like crazy all the time."

He let full-hearted laughter out.

"Why are you, laughing," I asked.

"What makes your heart go crazy?" He drew a line from my neck down to my collar bone with his finger.

I was a little embarrassed to say this.. "You're taller than me so when I hug you I can always get lost in your arms. You're always teasing me.. And laying with you right here right now, like this... "

"Mmmmhm go on." He stared at my lips.

"It's just..." I stared back at his. "I'm uh... "

"Yes.." He moved his head closer.

"The umm thing.." Uh, what was I even...

Before I could finish that thought his lips touched mine in a single fluttering moment.

I don't know how a single thing like a soft kiss could crack the world open and shatter every shred of defense one could have.

But this one kiss did.

When you're in the real world it's supposed to feel real, there's usually no fireworks in the background, no extras, no music, no applause. There are just two people doing something as simple as kissing.

Yet I blanked out.

All around me wishing stars were falling, the constellations rearranged themselves in the sky and the only wish a genie could grant me was to stop time right here.

I was burning for him. To have him. To hold him. Flames of desire were stirring my heart yet we held each other so softly and sweetly. One kiss at a time as he glided his lips over mine.

He would break the kiss, thread his lips down my neck and then go back to kissing me again all while I kept my eyes closed.

Again..

And again..

He suddenly swept me under him and leaned next to my ear. "I think I've gone too easy on you lately."

He brought my hands over my head holding them with one hand and with his other hand, he traced my body line all the way down to my legs.

His fingers traced up my outer thigh sending hot sparks to the pit of my stomach. The skin on the skin was a drastic difference. I knew wearing a dress was a good idea.

His hand suddenly went up and up.

"wai.." I gasped and his mouth closed over mine.

His fingers dug in my skin so lustfully.

My god.. It was only now that I realize how much he held back and it was good.. So so good.

He brought his lips to pull at my earlobe, leaving a wet kiss mark under my ear.

The second he let go of my arms I ran them down his back. His whole body was glued against me, pressing me down. I could feel his warmth and his weight. It was intoxicating.

His hand stayed at the side of my chest, unbuttoning the first two buttons of my dress, he planted a wet hot kiss on my skin just above where my bra was showing.

He brought his lips slowly up to my neck and stayed there. My fingers ran through his hair.

"Francy.." he murmured over my neck.

"Mm..?"

"Maybe we should stop here."

I opened my eyes to look at him. He had brought his head up to face me.

"mmm why?"I was still in a daze.

"I need you to stop." He smiled over my lips.

My whole body shivered with that smile. I know exactly what he meant.

Time out.

"Unless you want me to continue." He settled between my legs to know what he meant.

Oh. my. God.

I heard the message loud and clear. I tried to get up but he was still on top of me.

He kissed my neck again and I let out the last breath of air I was holding. 

On the other hand..

"You sound so so willing." He kept kissing my neck.

I could still feel every part of him. I grabbed his upper arm to move up..

Ohhhhh. My god, those muscles.

It was so, my heart was jumping so loud and I was getting dizzy.

He chuckled over my neck in his deep voice and brought his head up.

I dare to open my eyes halfway and watch him pull my lips between his teeth.

Seeing that my eyes were open, as a warning, he rose on his forearms exactly over my head and then he planted a soft kiss over my lips..his eyes locked on mine.

I could see the mischief in his eyes. He meant that warning.

I instantly closed my eyes embarrassed and brought my hands up to my neck, keeping them to myself.

I felt him slide next to me on the couch.

He was quiet so I brought my hands down and peeked on one eye.

He lifted his head and rested it on his arm. I instantly closed them again.

"Are you embarrassed?" He asked.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

I could hear him chuckle. He pinched my nose and I brought my hands up covering my face again .

"Guess you are."

I realized I was keeping my breath in.

"You're such a bully." I murmured through my hands.

He chuckled. "Did you hate it when I tease you?"

 I shook my head in denial.

He tried to pull one of my fingers aside.

"Well, that is a conversation I'll have face to face thank you." He said.

I managed to bring myself to look at him. He still had that smirk.

He suddenly laughed and hugged me, bringing my head into his neck where I could wallow in the shame.

He rubbed my back. "Ah my girlfriend, you are too cute. And I cannot have you look this cute in front of other guys. Maybe I should just lock you up somewhere just for me. Wait, that sounded wrong."

I burst into laughter. Oh no. why could I never have this conversation with him without melting in a puddle? The only thing I could do was to joke around but when it was too real I hid.

He tapped my back gently in a calming manner. "It's okay. We can go one step at a time."

I closed my eyes and calmed down. He always knew what to say.

Usually, we played around with teasing, touching brushing here and there, we would kiss playfully, but there were moments like this where he'd get so intense.. And he would be so demanding..

That all common sense would go out the door.

And I would stay up all night thinking about these kinds of moments. Going through my head of what could happen. I could never get him out of my head when he was like that.

That bad bad man.

I won't tell him how much I like it. Not yet at least.

"Should we have some dinner?" He asked and I nodded.

"Come on." He pulled me up from the couch. "I'll make something for you."

"You'll cook?" I smiled.

"You bet." He winked.

"Lucy!!" I suddenly heard Ace's voice from downstairs. Did he not go home?

Ace burst in through the door.

Cliffhanger?
