Chapter 176 - 174: Before The Final Match I (2/2)
”Yes, we saw. By the way, we heard that you did something outrageous during half time, but Diether won't spill. Haven't gone to join the crowd to ask as we don't want to break our concentration for the game later. Care to share?” Kylo asked curious.
Geoffrey glanced at Leonard then back at Kylo. ”Nothing much. Just continue eating your lunch, I'll go grab mine.”

After the meal, Charlton volunteered to wash the dishes. Serena tried to dissuade him by telling him that Beatrice can do it later. However, he did not let her stop him. He walked carrying the used utensils and stood in front of the sink. He chuckled as he opened the faucet.
”I need to impress you by showing that I too can do domesticated work. You cooked, so let me do this. In the future, whenever you make a meal, I will personally wash the dishes.”
Serena giggled as she saw him start washing a plate, then she moved to stand behind him as she wrapped her arms around his waist. When he was almost done washing everything, she said, ”I think that the love potion I poured on the soup was super effective.”
”So that's why it tasted so strange.” He replied as he closed the faucet.
Serena pinched his waist, ”Just as I thought! Your words were all lies!”
Charlton laughed denying her words as he tried to move away from her as she continued to pinch the side of his waist, ”ouch ouch! I was not lying, the food you prepared was really heavenly.”
”Still lying through your teeth? You bad bad boy, I think you need a spanking.” she said getting tired of pinching him.
Charlton continued to laugh, then he hoisted her up and placed her on the countertop. ”I don't mind domestic violence as long as it's from you. Anyway, with the number of times you slapped me, I kind of saw that coming.” He teased.
Serena blushed, was she that violent? ”You deserved them.” She tried to defend herself as she crossed her arms in front of her.
Charlton chuckled, ”Yes, yes, I did. Now, don't pout, it just makes me want to ravish you.”
She raised her brow as if daring him to do so.
Getting the hint, he inclined his face toward hers to kiss her. The kiss started innocently enough, yet like every time that they were alone, it turned heated.
Serena draped her arms around him as she pulled him closer. She parted her lips, inviting him to kiss her deeper. She felt him lean his frame forward and heat rose from her stomach as her whole body tingled. Her fingers slipped in under his shirt, his skin was smooth and radiated heat, but his stomach was hard, dipped, and rippled in all the right places.
He shuddered and there was a sound from the back of his throat, half growl, half moan. However, he knew that they must stop. With much difficulty and frustration, he pulled her hands out of his shirt and interlaced their fingers. ”I want to do so much more, but I still have a match later.”
Serena groaned but understood why they needed to stop. ”Okay, but remember, win or lose, we must continue this after your match.”
