Chapter 28 - The Immortal Prepares for a Forever Home

A knock on the glass door was heard and I looked up to see the love of my life entering the office with a wide smile on his face, wearing that lanyard he had made for himself. It was a nice surprise, seeing him coming in and picking me up from work.

"Hey baby," he greeted as he neared and swooped down to plant a kiss on my forehead. "I missed you!"

I blinked in surprise. "I miss you too," I replied in confusion and then I remembered something that I needed to show him, beckoning him over to the other side, I switched tabs on the computer to show him a website. "Let me know what you think about this."

He leaned his chin on my head as he took a look. He was quiet for a few seconds as he absorbed the information I was showing him. "Is that a new project you're working on?" he asked. "It's beautiful."

"No, it might be our new home," I said.

"What?" he exclaimed in surprise. "Why did you pick such a posh place?"

"It isn't," I replied. "But if you don't like it, I have a few more options for you to choose from. Sebastian is currently compiling everything into a folder and he'll give it to you later."

"But baby, why are you doing this?"

I turned to look at him. "The loft is too small for two people to live in comfortably," I explained. "And you still have your things back at the old house. We're going to have to find time to bring everything out and you're running out of clothes soon. I want you to be comfortable, boba."

He took my hand. "I don't want to go back to that house anymore," he said. "It's too painful for me."

I squeezed his hand and nodded. "Once you choose the new place, I'll get everything arranged," I said. "And don't worry about the cost. Choose a place that you'd want to live in."

He nods which made me smile. A knock on the glass door and Sebastian entered the room with a folder in his hands. He greeted Jiminie with a smile and handed the thick folder to him, earning a sound of surprise from the human. Sebastian must've printed everything, down to the toilets.

"Sebastian," I chided.

"I was just being thorough, boss."

"You're just excited that I'm shifting to a bigger house," I scolded.

"Yes," he admitted. "I cannot stand the fact that my boss, one of the Seven Emperors is living in a loft. I cannot stand it! I am just relieved that finally, you're going to live in a bigger house. Now, none of the clan members will talk ill about you."

"You know they don't dare to!"

"I'm just saying, boss."

"You liar!"

.

Back at home, I was seated cross legged on the sofa, busy watching a korean drama on the television and munching on sweet caramel popcorn when all of a sudden, Jiminie appeared in front of me wearing nothing but a pair of sweatpants. I could see the muscle definition on his abs and back.

What's going on?

Is he exercising?

In confusion, I watched curiously as he danced to music in his earphones and I could hear the music playing. I tilted my head at the suggestive words the singer sang and he began to move along with the words, dropping low onto the floor in a suggestive movement.

My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open at the display before me. My hands went weak and I dropped the popcorn - the contents spilling everywhere and I caught sight of the camera phone tucked at the television so I knew he was making one of those tiktok videos.

Jiminie got up from the floor, turning over to look at me with an excited look on his face and pulled out one of the earpieces from his ear when he saw the mess I had made.

"Baby!"

Spurred at the sight, I got up immediately from the sofa, ignoring the popcorn mess and pushed him onto the ground, straddling him as I stared down at him. "What do you think you're doing?" I asked quietly as I held his face, my thumb rubbing along his lips.

His answer was to open his mouth, lick and nibble my thumb, making desire run down my skin, down my spine. Electricity shot down my back. It brought goosebumps down my skin and I sucked in a sharp breath. This new look on him was making me slowly lose a grip on myself.

"That video isn't running anymore is it?" I asked.

"It's still moving," he said.

I let out a breath and got up, heading towards his phone to stop the video from running, a frown on my face as I replayed the video - seeing my shocked expression and the way the popcorn spilled everywhere.

"Baby," he said softly as he appeared behind me, his strong arms wrapping around me and I could feel his heart beating against my back. "Can I kiss you?"

"Yes."

His phone was forgotten in my hands as I was backed into a wall and a pair of hungry lips on my mouth. I welcomed the kiss, smiling against his lips as I enjoyed the sensation. He hoisted me up, my legs wrapping around his torso so we could kiss easier.

We broke apart panting, his eyes were filled with lust as he stared down at my swollen lips hungrily.

"Why did you do that, love?" I asked.

"I had a little too much wine," he replied. "I just wanted to see your reaction."

I chuckled breathlessly. "How was it?" I asked. "Did it meet your expectation?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it yet."

I chuckled again. He let out a groan and started nuzzling me like a cat, pressing butterfly kisses all over my face - his lips igniting flames across my skin. He was hungry, I knew that but I was enjoying this too much as well so I had to restrain myself before we go further.

I grabbed a fistful of his hair and pulled back, earning a ragged groan from the boy. He had started attacking my neck now, biting and nipping at the skin. If I let him continue, we'd both be in deep trouble and I don't think I could restrain myself any further.

"Ugh babe!" he complained. "What are you doing?"

"Stop before I lose control."

"Then don't stop!"

"Jesus Christ, stop-"

He pulled away from the wall before he set me down, wrapping his arms around my shoulders with his hands pressed on my head - I stood there awkwardly unsure of what he's doing. A few minutes of that then he lets go, moving to retrieve his phone on the floor.

"You know, we still need to clean up the popcorn."

"I -"
