Part 34- Perfect Match

He pulled away and grabbed my face making me look at him.

"Thank you" he thanked me.

"for what?" I asked.

"just thank you" he said hugging me once again.

I pulled away as he pulled me back to him intertwining his fingers with mine when I realized he had a small bruise on his hand.

"Ya Allah...what happened to you?" I asked concerned.

"just a little burn" he said.

"little? be more careful will you?" I told him. I grabbed his hand and made him follow me towards the kitchen cupboard to get the first aid kit. I opened it and took out a cream.

I applied some of the medicine gently on his hand.

"it's done" I said closing the cream. I placed the kit back to it's place and turned to face him when he suddenly grabbed me and placed me on the kitchen counter.

"w-what are you doing?" I stuttered.

He was extremely close to me not even leaving an inch between us. I could feel the air around us getting tense. He wasn't saying anything other than staring deep into my soul.

He brought his hand to my thigh caressing it, he was slowly making his way up to my waist, arm and finally to my face. His fingertip touching my lips, I was getting nervous as butterflies were insanely flying in me.

"Aslan...?" I managed to say his name.

"kiss me Adalina" he said out of the blue.

"we...just ate.." I said.

He grabbed my waist crashing my body to his as I gasped.

"are you sure you don't want to?" he asked.

I was barely able to breathe properly as this point. Slowly, I grabbed his face and approached my face to his. I placed my lips on his for a quick kiss only for him to grab my neck and pull me in for more.

As we were getting into this precious moment, his hands snaked under my shirt and soon taking it off from me. He was now touching and feeling my bare upper body. Placing kisses all over my neck and chest area, his hand grabbing mine as he intertwined his fingers in.

I stopped him before this could be taken to the bed. Both of us panting for air, he connected his forehead to mine.

"how long...? how long are you going to make me wait for you like this?" he eventually asked me.

I know I've never let him in yet. It's not that I don't like him, not at all. I am simply...not ready for that step yet.

"don't get me wrong...I want it too but, I'm still unready" I said.

"I'll wait for you, as always" he said hugging me.

"I love you" I whispered.

"I love you too" he said his hold getting tight.

I couldn't help but smile as I was glad and felt reassured that he was willing to be patient with me. Not everyone is able to do that although everyone should respect each other's boundaries.

I am grateful that my husband cares about my feelings and my timing. He knows when to stop and when to step aside for a while. I respect him much more because of that.
