25 Making it Up 2 (1/2)

Not too long later, Ci-ci had made his way back to his home. Although he didn't live in the same province that housed Algood City, the speed of transportation was on another level in this era. It was also for this reason that Milana could make it here without too many problems either.

After walking in, Ci-ci involuntarily smiled when he saw a little beauty curled up on his couch looking almost like a little kitten. But, that smile faded away to pain when he noticed the cold, half eaten dinner on the living room table.

Ci-ci kneeled down, gently brushing Milana's silky brown hair.

”Mm.” Milana shifted in her sleep, blinking awake. When she saw that it was Lucius, she smiled warmly, brightening up the room.

”I'm sorry,” Ci-ci said guiltily. ”There's a major merger going on at work, I had to stay there all night.”

Milana shook head, signaling that she didn't mind. ”You don't need to explain.”

”Why didn't you sleep upstairs? What's mine is yours.” Ci-ci spoke with a slight blaming tone, but his words made Milana blush. It wasn't surprising for an unmarried young woman to blush after hearing such a thing from her beloved.

”How about you skip work today,” Ci-ci suddenly said.

”But –” Milana thought back to all of the plans and troubles they had. Skipping a day could cause massive issues.

Ci-ci laughed. ”Don't tell me that the daughter of the CEO can't even call in for one fake sick day, hm? How about it?”

”I can't.” After a few moments of struggling, Milana eventually put her foot down. The next coming months were too important. However, when she saw the disappointment on Ci-ci's face, she made a concession. ”How about I be an hour or two late?”

With a grin of victory, Ci-ci swept Milana's petite frame into his arms, not allowing her to reject as he charged up the stairs and into the master bathroom.

Milana's adorable rain of curses filled Ci-ci's home, but in the end, she still willingly entered the shower with him, allowing them to enjoy a morning of warm water and tender kisses together.

Later in the day, Ci-ci drove Milana to work personally. Although she had her own SUV, he did so purposely so that they could spend time together later that night.

His grin didn't fade, but neither did Milana's blush. Although they hadn't had sex, today was the first time Ci-ci had seen her completely naked. In fact, it was the first time any man had seen her naked. Ci-ci had taken almost all of her firsts by now, yet she felt oddly comfortable. She had a feeling that told her this man would never intentionally hurt her, so what more could she ask for?
