Chapter 192: He No Longer Held Back.

It was a stupendous view.

The couple standing there, hugging themselves in the dimly lit living room was beautiful as one could only see their curves and highlighted features. Anyone who sees them couldn’t be able to resist the urge of taking so many photos of them.

It was breathtaking, coupled with the thousands of whispers that swan across the room, saying out the couple’s unspoken words for them.

Nicklaus parted the hug. He turned to the table, and back to her. "Let’s eat," he invited her.

Arissa gave him a small smile, "Let’s eat,"

He held her hand and led her to the table. He got to the seat reserved for her, releasing her hand from his hold, he pulled out her seat for her.

He raised his face to her and with a gentle nod, he permitted her to seat. Seeing him in a new light, Arissa thinned her lips before taking her seat.

Nicklaus walked over to the seat before her. He sat down and before he would take a sip of his water, Arissa said an audible short prayer which he had no other option than to respect.

Ending the prayer, she flashed him a beautiful smile, glad he joined her in praying. In silence, they began eating.

No word was shared between them again but occasionally, Arissa peeped at him from under her eyes.

Nicklaus munched his meal slowly. One would think he was eating but in reality, he wasn’t. He doesn’t even know he was eating as he was so absorbed in staring at her as she ate.

In his eyes, she made simple eating graceful.

She unconsciously licked her lower lips and his gaze flickered down to that action. He realizes that all he needed to do was to tilt his head, a little lean and he would claim her lips.

Eventually, after a battle between his eyes and her munching lips, his hand stretched to her chin. Using a finger, he gently made her look into his eyes.

The act startled Arissa. She let out a sharp breath as her gaze collided with Nicklaus. Her inside trembled, her ribcage tightened under his intense gaze, and she was no longer able to control her heart.

Her face turned flushed pink.

"You are breathtaking," Nicklaus said to her face in admiration.

Arissa blinked. Disbelief etched her face as she searched his eyes but to her astonishment, that dark gaze on her meant those words.

Seeing such genuineness in his gaze, she doubt her ears heard right. Blinking at him, she asked, "What did...what did you say?"

"I said, you are breathtaking," he repeated, "Don’t doubt it,"

She gulped. His finger on her chin suddenly caused a shiver to rush through her skin, his gaze flickered to her juicy lips that parted out of surprise.

His dick immediately turned excited as they began to imagine the naughty things that small sensual mouth would perform. Getting hold of his self-control, he stared into her eyes one last time before pulling away.

He went back to his meal and nervous Arissa could only stare at him. She don’t know if she was beginning to see things but she could swear she did see his eyes sparkle when she looked into them.

Unsure of her thoughts or what to say, Arissa just nodded, "Thank you,"

Nicklaus nodded back.

A few minutes later, Arissa hurriedly dropped her cutleries, "I’m sorry I won’t be able to clear this,"

Nicklaus dropped his fork, "Why?" he don’t care about clearing the table, what he cared about was how hurried she was.

Arissa stood up from her seat, "I have to be going, I need_"

Nicklaus cut her off, "You can sleep with me here," Arissa stared at him confused, "I mean you could spend the night here with me. I would just sleep on any of the couches," he rephrased his words.

He doesn’t want her to leave. He loves the peaceful space between them and wants to extend it.

His suggestion touched Arissa. She was thrilled with it, a toothless smile covered her lips but fell the moment it came when she remembered, "Lukas came here with me,"

"He knows where to stay whenever I spend a night here. So, don’t worry about him."

"Oh!"

"Yes, now seat and enjoy this ravishing meal," his voice turned all dominant and his eyes shade darker.

"Okay," Arissa found herself obeying. This was a rare moment - though she believes they would have more of it, she still don’t want to miss a second of this.

"Where did you learn to cook?" Nicklaus asked with an intrigued voice. With the kind of person Laura is, he doubt she would do that favor.

"I learned from sneaking into the kitchen as a kid," she exposed which earned an amused brow lift from Nicklaus. He never expected that as an answer.

"That included, I learned the best part of cooking from Mr. Adams,"

At the mention of Mr. Adams, Nicklaus covered her slim palm on the table with his masculine ones as if passing support to her.

This action surprised Arissa. She gave him a wide awkward smile to show him she was okay. "Your palms are so soothing," she said absentmindedly.

"Hmm, if you say so," he accepted indecisively.

Arissa licked her lower lip again and with a burning predator gaze on those lips of hers, Nicklaus took his palm off hers.

He placed his cutleries on her plate, "Let me," he said to her. Taking her bony fish from her plate, he placed the fish into his plate. And carefully, he removed all the bones from the fish before returning it to her plate.

Arissa’s jaw dropped to the floor, "You did this for me," she was visibly surprised with a red pampered face.

Nicklaus raised a brow at her, "Who else was I supposed to do that for?"

Arissa’s breath caught up in her throat when he said that. Here he goes again making her feel all special to him.

"I thought you would be the one eating it," she murmured but Nicklaus heard it and his reaction was priceless - at least to her.

Laughter erupted from his chest. She froze upon hearing him laugh so loud and carefree for the first time since she meet him. This was the most beautiful sound she have ever heard.

Arissa could only smile speechlessly while she watched him. "Why did you laugh?" she wanted to be a partaker of the fun or if it was something she could do, she would do it over and over again to hear him laugh this way.

Nicklaus chuckled, "Your presence did. You always make that hard task so natural," he told her, not holding back anymore.

Arissa choked on her meal. Nicklaus panicked and with haste, he passed his glass of water over to her. This action also surprised Arissa, she looked at him with frozen eyes.

Seeing her so shocked, Nicklaus took the water to her lips and that was when Arissa’s brain cells adjusted. Placing her hand on his, she let him feed her the water.
