"Oh you are so going to get it" Her eyes went wide before she stuck her tongue out at him.

Kael lunged at her slipping on the Jell-O he pulled both down to the floor, she landed atop him and both seemed out of breath once realizing the position they were in. Kael reached back grabbing a chunk of jiggling green Jell-O and rubbed it into the top of her head.

"Ah!" She screamed pushing off of him onto the floor.

He pushed to his knee's reaching into the fridge to grab something, his hands wrapped around the bottle of maple syrup. Morrigan sat up and looked at him, her eyes went from the syrup to Kael's face.

"No" She hissed going to get up, Kael grabbed her ankle and she slipped back to the floor.

He quickly moved over her pinning her hips with his, he caught her wrists and held both her arms above her head with one hand as he tipped over the open bottle of syrup. They watched together as the cool sticky substance slithered out from the yellow tip and dropped in a sticky line across her lips. He continued to squeeze the bottle over her mouth watching it gob down the side of her face oozing to the floor on either side of her head.

He tossed the bottle away and looked down at her, she cracked open on eye and glared at him. Her lips parted slowly and the amber liquid dropped into her mouth. She didn't like overly sweet things, and syrup was just that. She closed her mouth again and her nose scrunched up as she forced herself to swallow.

"God that tastes like crap" she hissed out.

Kael smirked above her, "Now how would you know what crap tastes like?" He asked a grin quirking his lips up at the edges.

"Oh shut up and get off of me, I have to go and wash this off", She squirmed beneath him, "Did you have to spread it everywhere you ass" She grumbled trying to move.

He frowned, "Does it taste that bad?"

"It's probably expired like the rest of the crap in your fridge" she snapped glaring up at him using the back of her hand to wipe the syrup from her lips.

"Hmm" Kael leaned down kissing her without warning or hesitation, with ease he parted her lips pressing his tongue into her mouth. Her eyes slowly shut and her hands tightened, to soon Kael realized what he was doing and sat back quickly leaving Morrigan dazed.

"Nope tastes just fine to me, I'll use the shower downstairs" He moved from atop her quickly gliding through the air until he appeared in the basement bathroom.

He locked the door behind him and dropped to his knee's his head falling into his hands, what had he just done... Kissing her, Death trusted him not to fuck this up and he wouldn't fuck this up. The consequences for indulging in something like her were too much for him to handle. He was a demon for Christ sake, he shouldn't be even looking after this woman.

The taste of her lips lingered on his, the warmth they held burned into his mind. He had gotten to close to her, he wanted the guilt to eat away at him to push him back from her. But there wasn't any, and that terrified him more. This was his friend's daughter, entrusted to his care until she could survive on her own.

"Damnit" He cursed shutting his eyes tightly.

With a deep breath he rose and got the shower ready while peeling clothes, sticky and still wet, from his body. His control was slowly slipping when it came to Morrigan Letalias.

Once he had the milk washed from his hair and made sure that all the cheerios had been shaken free, he stepped clean from the shower wrapping a towel around his waist. The minute he was out he realized the mistake he had made giving Morrigan the upstairs shower, now he had to get up there and get clothes. Kael opened the door and peered out looking around the empty room, some sunlight made it through the three small yard level windows. It was a gorgeous day outside, turning his back to them he moved up the stairs timidly making it into the living room with no sight of Morrigan. With any luck she would still be in the shower and he could just grab his clothes and retreat back downstairs.
