After a while longer, I broke the silence with a little wave "Hello."

He did not say anything in reply. Instead of speaking, he barged right past me and into the apartment. It was with such confidence that I almost forgot that I was the one living there and not him.

Remembering that I still had the stove on, I closed the door behind him and walked back to the kitchen.

I had my back to him, but I know he was there. Not because of his footsteps but because of the feeling in my stomach.

For such a tall and broad person, he did not make any noise at all.

He was the silent killer type.

While taking the food off the stove, I finally faced him "You are like a stray. I have fed you once and you will not stop coming back."

Stone still did not speak. He just remained stood a few feet away and towering over me. The skull tattoo on his hand was staring at me too as his hand twitched.

It was like he was restraining himself.

I crossed my arms, suddenly feeling self-conscious under his gaze "You are here so much that I am really considering giving you my spare key."

It was too silent. Even for him.

I was starting to worry so I tried to tease further "I am starting to think that you are like an evil spirit haunting my house. I will have to say Beetlejuice three times."

A small smile started to make its way onto his face, but he still did not talk.

I finally just asked him straight up "What made you come here?"

He stalked closer. I focused on his movement as he took large steps to me.

The closeness brought a wave of excitement to take over my body and the only thoughts I had at that moment were about him.

I felt like screaming Just kiss me already.

The giant knew me so well because that is exactly what he did.

His mesmerising obsidian eyes kept me grounded as he cupped my face. When he slammed his lips to mine, I gasped.

I felt my toes curl at his satisfied groan. That and I had to bend my feet to try and reach his height.

Stone's large hands drifted through my hair and then back to my face. He tightened his hold on my face as his tongue slipped further past my lips.

The moment muddled my thoughts. So much that I did not feel myself being lifted until I was off the ground. Gripping my butt, he lifted me and placed me on the counter.

The same counter as last time when we nearly kissed.

I let out a breath as I tilted my head upwards and gave him better access.

As I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around the back of his neck, he let out a deep sound of approval.
