Bianca followed what he did, putting cold water in the wok and adding the vegetables as Dave shared a few cooking tips. She listened carefully, nodding along.
Bianca loosened a few buttons on her pajama top as the kitchen warmed up, and her figure became slightly more visible as she moved beside Dave. He couldn’t help but notice, feeling a bit distracted as he nervously swallowed.
Trying to stay focused, Dave bent down to grab some ingredients and noticed only tomatoes. “Didn’t you say you liked potatoes in this? I don’t see any,” he said, looking up.
Bianca suddenly remembered she had already peeled the potatoes before Dave entered the kitchen but hadn’t had a chance to chop them. She quickly grabbed the cleaned potatoes from the sink and said, “Let me handle the chopping.”
Excited to give it a try, Bianca picked up a potato. Dave watched her with a bit of nervousness, warning her, “Be careful.”
The potato was slippery, and just as she was about to start cutting it on the board, she felt Dave’s warm embrace from behind.
He hesitated to let her cut it alone but didn’t want to discourage her. Gently, he wrapped his arms around her and guided her hand, holding the knife.
“I’ll cut it with you,” he said softly.
Dave’s low voice, close to her ear, made Bianca feel warm inside. Her body felt relaxed in his warm hug, and she murmured, a bit dazed, “Okay.”
His large hand provided steady guidance, and the warmth of his breath on her neck made her heart race. Together, they carefully chopped the potatoes into small pieces.
Suddenly, Bianca stepped out of Dave’s arms, her cheeks flushed bright red, though she tried to act calm as she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “The ingredients are ready. Let’s move on to the next step,” she said, trying to compose herself.
Dave chuckled at her reaction but continued patiently, showing her what to do next and explaining each step as he went along. Bianca listened carefully, absorbing everything.
With what she learned from him, she arranged all the ingredients alone, knowing Dave was watching her behind and thinking she wouldn’t make any mistakes.
Once everything was ready, they just had to wait half an hour for the dish to finish cooking.
After setting the timer, Dave suddenly spun Bianca around and gently pressed her against the cupboard. With a playful grin, he said, “I’ve shared all my cooking secrets with you. Don’t you think you owe me a little something for the lesson?”
Bianca’s cheeks turned into a soft pink, but she didn’t resist Dave’s advances. Instead, she gave him a playful look and said, “Why didn’t you mention this earlier? Feels like a bit of extortion!”
“I thought you’d lose interest if I brought it up too soon,” Dave replied, pulling her close by the waist, and his intense desire was clear. Without hesitation, he kissed her passionately.
It had been a while since they’d spent so much time together, and the longing between them couldn’t be held back any longer. Bianca, giving in to the moment, wrapped her arms around his neck as they shared a deep, lingering kiss.
Overcome by emotion, Dave’s touch shifted from gentle to more assertive. He held her hands firmly, pressing them against the cupboard behind her, while his other hand cradled the back of her head to protect her from hitting it.
In the quiet room, the sound of their kisses and heavy breathing was all Bianca could hear, making her blush even more.
“You missed me, didn’t you?” Dave whispered in a hoarse voice, feeling her body relax and seeing the dazed look in her eyes. He gently squeezed her waist and asked, “Tell me, did you miss me?”
“Yes, I missed you so much. I can’t stop thinking about you when you’re not here,” Bianca admitted, her voice trembling as her legs grew weak.
Since she was a head shorter than Dave, he lifted her slightly, her toes barely touching the floor.
He continued to kiss her deeply, leaving her breathless. Bianca yielded over, closing her eyes as the kiss became even more intense.
After their long kiss, Dave finally pulled away, resting his head on Bianca’s chest. His voice turned low and seductive as he whispered, “Don’t move.”
Bianca stayed still, following his command.
Her skin flushed as Dave gently bit her collarbone, leaving a faint red mark. In a hoarse voice, he said, “You’re mine, and this is my proof.”
Though she felt a slight sting from his bite, Bianca didn’t let it show. Instead, she grabbed his shoulders, pulled the collar of his pajamas aside, and bit him back. Dave hissed, and a mark formed on his shoulder.
“I’ll leave my mark on you, too,” Bianca said, meeting his eyes boldly. “So other girls know to stay away.”
Dave’s eyes darkened, and without a word, he swiftly turned off the gas stove. Before Bianca could react, he scooped her up in his arms, holding her effortlessly.
“The food’s not ready yet. Maybe we should wait a bit longer,” Bianca said, her face flushed as her dark eyes shyly met his.
Dave’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he replied, “With you tempting me like this, I can’t hold back anymore. We’ll have plenty of time to cook together, but right now, I just want you.”
Leaning against him, Bianca stayed quiet, her lips pressed together. It had been a while since they’d been this close, and both of them had reached their limits.
Seeing her flushed face, Dave chuckled softly and carried her toward the bedroom.
As a result, Bianca didn’t get to taste Dave’s tomato beef stew; she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when Bianca woke up to get dressed, she noticed marks all over her body. She quickly picked an outfit that would cover them up.
She saw the table set with the delicious tomato beef stew on her way out.
Dave must have gotten up early to make it for her before leaving for work. Bianca felt both a bit disappointed and grateful.
After breakfast, she headed to the office.
