A beautiful smile broke Erik's lips the next day. That's when he woke up to find Mia still asleep soundly beside him breath was drawn and released by the young man because of that. Then he carefully wrapped Mia in his arms and hugged her tightly.
"You don't know how much you made my life happy and complete, Mia," he whispered and then kissed the young lady on her hair.
He stayed like that for a few moments before he got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He only did it quickly because he wanted to get breakfast ready before Mia woke up.
"Hey," was his open greeting to Mia when he just finished setting the table and the young lady entered the kitchen.
"I'm sorry, I overslept," she apologized as she sat down when he pulled a chair for her.
Erik laughed softly and then started tending to her future wife. "I know you're tired," he said, winking at her while a mischievous smile remained on his lips.
He quickly saw the effect of what he did on Mia. The young lady’s face immediately turned red.
"Stop," she told him with a smile and then took the mug of coffee and took a sip.
Erik's thick eyebrows rose and then he grabbed his girlfriend's hand and kissed it tenderly.
"I told the office that I will be on leave for two weeks. I want to arrange our marriage as soon as possible," he said to Mia while still holding her hand.
"W-What did you say?" Mia asked him incredulously.
That's when Erik pulled the chair he was sitting on closer to Mia. Then he held the young lady’s face and caressed it with love.
“Do you think I'm just joking that I gave you this ring?” he said amusedly staring at Mia's surprised face.
He saw his girlfriend swallow at his question. And when she didn't speak, he continued what else he wanted to say.
"I want you to have my last name before the end of this month," he said, and he was really telling the truth.
*****
When Mia heard that, the young lady couldn't stop being emotional. Tears immediately appeared in her eyes.
"I-I just didn't expect that---," she couldn't continue what else she wanted to say because Erik quickly cut her off.
"Seriously? Didn't I mention to you that I want to marry you as soon as possible?” the young man asked her with a light chuckle.
At that point, Mia nodded tearfully.
"Tell me," said Erik, holding her chin and then lifting her face. "Don't you want us to get married soon?"
Mia just shook her head and then dried her tears completely. "Sorry, I'm getting too emotional," she said followed by a soft laugh.
"It's okay. This is me, which means, you can show me anything, but I won't judge you. Because I love you," he said to her.
Mia just smiled at Erik and after that, they started eating.
"We should leave after this," the young man told her.
"The papers I will need for our wedding are at home," she said.
The young man nodded. "Let's get them later."
"Okay, but is it okay if I clean up there for a while? I mean not today. Maybe tomorrow or after our errands later?” she said in a hesitant tone.
It's been a few days since she last cleaned her house and it must be dusty now.
"Sure. When we come back later in the afternoon, I'll help you. Okay?” Erik said.
"Thank you," she replied in agreement with what he wanted to happen.
Mia just did her dressing quickly. She had already taken a bath when she got up. And while she was fixing herself in front of the dresser, her eyes immediately caught the small mark on her neck that she remembered Erik left there last night.
Mia's face quickly turned red as she remembered the scorching night they shared. And the redness on both of her cheeks intensified when from the reflection of the mirror she could see the very place in the window where Erik had placed her last night.
"So, brushing your hair makes you blush now?"
The young man's amused voice seemed to be the rope that pulled Mia back to the present.
Her whole face was still hot when she looked at the young man she saw already dressed. He is very handsome in a simple red polo shirt. It fits his muscular body so well like a second skin. While his faded jeans hug his thighs and legs.
"You're handsome," that's what came out of Mia's lips instead.
She heard the soft laugh that ran down Erik's throat. Then he stepped forward, grabbed her by the waist, and pulled her close to him.
"And you are beautiful. Very beautiful, actually," answered the young man then bent down and planted a sweet kiss on her lips.
That kiss lasted for a while. While Mia, because she knew they were going somewhere, she tried not to let the passion and heat of Erik's kiss get into her.
An inviting kiss that seemed to promise another hot and crazy moment.
"You smell so good," Erik said when he let go of her lips and then grabbed her by both shoulders. He then pushed her to sit on the antique dresser that was behind her.
"Erik, aren't we going somewhere?" she reminded the young man when she saw that the small flames in his black eyes were different.
"Yeah, but this won’t last long," the young man answered and then kissed her again on the lips.
Mia was unable to speak after that. Because once again her entire system was swallowed up by his furiousness and desire.
"I don't know why but I just can’t help it, Mia. I don’t know how to control myself."
That's what Erik said as he hurriedly raised the hem of the dress she was wearing. Then pulled down her thin lace underwear.
"B-But, we might be late," she said.
It's not that she doesn't like what's happening. But she had to admit that she still hadn't recovered the full strength that Erik had consumed in her last night. Then here he is again now and it looks like she is set to weaken once more.
"I promise it will be very quick. Please?" Erik pleaded as he pressed a pleading kiss to her lips.
Mia's heart was touched by what the young man did. And that included the unforgivable thrill that once again came to her heart. That's because she sees Erik is always longing for her.
"B-But can I just be there on the bed?" she said.
That's when Erik's eyes sparkled as he stared at her. "Yeah? Don't you want it on top of the dresser?” he asked with a smile.
Mia swallowed. "N-No it’s not that I don’t like it. The truth is that I haven't really regained my strength after last night. But we'll be leaving later and also for me not to feel completely exhausted," she explained hesitantly.
Realization immediately crossed Erik's face. It also includes a mixture of mischief and of course amusement in his eyes. After she said that, he quickly picked her up and moved her to the bed.
"Next time, I will claim you there. And you can't do nothing but give in," he told her as he unbuckled the belt he was wearing.
Mia's whole body felt deliciously touched by hot oil. Then she nodded consecutively.
"I want it there, and in the living room, anywhere, as long as you're with me," she answered.
The smile on Erik's lips was meaningful. After that, he pushed her to the bed and went on top of her.
