33 Chapter 33- The Talk. Kind of. (2/2)
Aware that the shit was likely to hit the fan, KO kept his grip on Mei's hands, pinning him to the bed with the weight of his body. The ire on Mei's face, as he considered the implications of KO's earlier disclosure, made him smile. Mei was too open; his thoughts flickered across his face like a TV drama.
”Did you know it was me?”
”Marry me...” His breath caught in his throat as he said those two words and he forgot to finish
his sentence.
Beneath him, Mei stilled and his eyes went wide. ”Huh?”
”In the game.” Shit, this wasn't what he'd planned! ”Marry me in the game and I'll explain it all.”
Mei's face darkened. ”Marry yourself. You buffalo. Get off me.” He squirmed beneath KO, trying to free his hands. KO tightened his grip- he knew what would happen if Mei got his hands free while in this mood and he had no desire to block a punch to the face. Never mind that he deserved it for that clumsy interlude.
”Marry me in the game... to start with...” The spitfire beneath him stopped trying to escape and looked up at him.
”To start with?”
”It's too soon for anything more.”
”Too soon for how much more?”
”Marry me in the game and find out.”
Mei scowled once more. ”Marry someone else in the game.”
”Don't want to... just want you.” KO kissed Mei's forehead, his nose, and then his chin before lightly pressing a kiss to his lips. When Mei tried to draw him in to a deeper kiss, he pulled back. ”Say yes, first.”
”Bastard. Who'll say yes to you?”
”Okay.” KO let go of Mei's hands and was off the bed and heading out the door before the other man even realised he'd been released.
”What....? Seriously?” A very rumpled, delicious looking Mei sat up in the bed and stared incredulously at the retreating hacker.
”Say yes, first.”
”Agreement received under coercion doesn't hold up in a court of law.”
KO smiled. Thank goodness her had his back to Mei and the other man couldn't see how much he liked hearing those words. ”I'll take what I can get.”
”So you're not fussy. Great. Don't I feel special now.”
KO turned around, eyes meeting Mei's. ”I'll take you any way I can.”
Mei pouted. ”You could at least finish what you started.”
”Not until you say yes. I'm an honourable man- I won't take your virtue without the sanctity of marriage.” Pulling his shirt back on, he found Mei's and tossed it to him. ”Get dressed. Let's go shopping so I can make you dinner tonight.”
Mei grumbled under his breath but put the shirt back on. ”I'm sure this is covered by the Geneva Convention under cruel and unusual punishment...”
KO threw his head back and laughed, making Mei stop and stare at him. ”Oh Mei, you have no idea.”
”Huh?”
KO simply shook his head. Teasing Mei about marrying him in the game was going to be a lot of fun.
