Playing with fire

"Don't hold it... Love can do thousands of ways to infiltrate your heart, if you hold it it will only make your heart crowded."

he then gently touches Maya's cheek and smiles warmly.

"I will wait until my love reaches your heart completely."

Maya's heart was pounding again, she touched Marve's hand which was still holding her face.

"Thank you for loving me even though I don't have anything."

"You have everything I need, sincerity ..."

Hearing Marve talk about sincerity makes Maya feel embarrassed because she intended to ask Marve for help because Marve loved her, not because she trusted him. But now Maya won't do it, she will confirm her feelings for Marve and also the sincerity that Marve says about her.

"There's something I want to give you."

Maya turns around as Marve quickly runs into their room and picks up something in his drawer.

"What is that?" Ask Maya when Marve has come back before her.

Marve then opened the little red box, and there was a pair of glittering blue-eyed earrings inside.

"Blue rose earrings for my beautiful wife."

"This is for you, sweetie..."

Maya smiles, not because of the gift Marve gave her but because of the love Marve always gave her in unexpected ways.

"Thank you..." Maya gently kisses Marve's cheek unexpectedly, making Marve's face blush red now.

"You bought me one jewelry store, and you still give me another piece of jewelry. I don't know if my husband turned out to be too rich. I should have married you sooner." Maya's jokes make Marve laugh.

"I told you if there's nothing I can't give you."

Maya smiles again and grabs the box.

"Let me put it on you."

Marve grabs one of the earrings and tries to put it on Maya's ear, but Maya already wears a pair of earrings so Marve intends to open it but Maya stops it.

"Just stay here." Maya shows her desired position, just above her other earrings there is an empty hole of piercing marks.

Marve laughs because Maya won't let go of her other earrings "How can you wear two pairs of earrings at once?"

Maya did not respond, she just smiled and grabbed the rest of the earrings in the box.

Maya intends to keep it because next to her ear has only one piercing but then she sees Marve's ear which has a former piercing hole.

Marve was once a bad boy too apparently, thought Maya was laughing in her heart.

Maybe it was a piercing when he was in college, but Maya didn't want to take a headache.

Anyone has a past.

She then attached the earring to Marve's ear.

"Let's just say it's another half-hearted symbol for you," Maya said after finishing wearing the earrings in Marve's ear.

Marve falls silent, as Maya touches her ear leaving her unable to do so.

"Give it back to me, when I say I've loved you wholeheartedly." Continued Maya.

A smiling Marve nodded in agreement.

These earrings tie them.

Marve can't help but smile, his heart pounding as Maya's breath touches his neck

Maya was still looking at how the earrings shine in Marve's ears.

"Looks good on you." Praise Maya smiling at Marve.

Now Maya only realizes that they barely have any more distance and Marve has been staring at her with tension.

"Let's go to bed..." Maya said immediately wake up before the atmosphere changes.

Marve smiles disappointed but then he obeys and follows in Maya's footsteps.

"Honey, it looks like someone still owes me one kiss." Said Marve who deliberately insinuated Maya who was removing her mattress and of course Maya deliberately pretended not to hear it until finally Marve approached her and hugged her from behind then took over the remote held by Maya and pressed the button again so that the bed was reunited.

"Sleeping apart with you will only keep me from getting your heart out, so from now on I want you to sleep in the same bed as me." Marve's whispers make Maya's curly hair goosebumps instantly.

Marve then throws the remote in the direction that makes it destroyed, of course, Maya immediately turned around and looked at Marve upset.

"Why did you throw it away?" 

"Cause I don't want you to run away while I sleep."

"Oh, my God, Marve!" Maya feels that Marve is so silly that she laughs until Maya finally realizes that she has just called Marve without any 'affectionate' calls.

"Maya..." Marve's voice changes instantly, she urges Maya to make Maya step back even though her hand still holds Maya's waist.

"Marve..." Maya is so nervous that she can't manage her words.

Maya's heels already feel Marve's bedside which makes her finally fall sitting because Marve is still moving urgently.

Marve's movements are so gentle that Maya doesn't realize that she's lying under Marve's body with her legs still hanging under the bed while Marve supports his body with both arms, of course, it makes the distance between them barely there.

Marve doesn't say anything, his eyes say everything and unfortunately, Maya instead waits for Marve to move closer because today they don't kiss at all and Maya don't know what whispers affect her so Maya slowly closes her eyes as if she would never mind if Marve kissed her or maybe did anything more than just kiss her.

Marve certainly won't waste the chance he gets when Maya doesn't reject him, now and slowly Marve starts kissing Maya's lips gently.

Marve pulls back his head as if everything is not real because Maya immediately reciprocates his kiss and now their eyes are back together.

"I just want to kiss you, do you mind?" Marve's soft voice that sounds restrained makes Maya's heart melt, she can't refuse Marve's request because she wants the same thing let alone Marve has kept his word if he will ask permission if he wants to kiss her.

"How can I reject you?" Maya's voice sounds very respectful, if Maya has reciprocated her feelings then Marve will not just ask for a kiss.

Marve smiles once more, he kisses Maya's forehead, her eyelids alternately, and then down to Maya's neck.

Maya as she already knows what to do, Maya deliberately raises her head so that Marve can freely kiss and sip her neck that Maya can make sure if it will be scarred, but Maya doesn't care, she loves the way Marve touches her softly.

Marve's touch makes her whole body heat up, she moans without her noticing and Marve immediately kisses Maya's lips and silences her before Maya's moans make him lose control.

Maya draping her hands around Marve's neck, she begins to reciprocate Marve's kiss and opens her mouth so Marve can deepen their kiss.

Marve slowly lifts Maya's body and keeps Maya on top of his body without unlinking their lips.

Marve goes crazy, his whole body heats up, he's already very tense and his hands are out of control, and starts infiltrating behind Maya's nightgown.

This kiss was crazy and intoxicating, Marve's tongue twists Maya's tongue and feels very sweet, even Marve's touch behind her nightgown makes Maya even more eager to deepen their kiss even though her breath has started to be choked now.

When Maya finally runs out of breath, she hits Marve's chest slowly and finally makes Marve realize.

Their breathless, Maya still sits on Marve's body in a messy dress and swollen lips, staring shyly at Marve.

Marve smiles, he caresses Maya's face and corrects the strap of Maya's nightgown that falls under her shoulder.

"You're sleepy?" Ask Marve.

"A little..."

Marve doesn't want Maya to move from the top of his body, he deliberately caresses Maya's arm and makes Maya as comfortable as possible, but what he does makes Maya tenser, Maya's body tension can Marve feel and make Marve also no less tense.

"You're sleepy?" Ask Maya because Marve just looked at her with a smile and Maya can't be left if Marve's smile was very charming.

"How can I be sleepy when I feel like I'm burning like this?"

"Then you shouldn't be playing with fire."

"I just want us to sleep hugging each other warmly but my instincts want more than just a hug. All-day I haven't kissed you, I feel like something's incomplete." Marve said, he rubbed Maya's soft, filled lips with his thumb. "Why does it taste so sweet?"

"You used to say my lips were bitter," Maya said with a tone that sounded a little sulking.

"No honey, the lipstick you wore the first time we kissed was bittersweet."

"So if I don't wear lipstick what does it feel different?"

Marve loved this conversation, intense and also intimate. 

"It's like getting me drunk, I don't want to let go but you're easily out of breath."

"Really? So you're not satisfied?"

"I'll never be satisfied, even after I let it go, I still want it."
