 Maleek had no idea what she had just done, but it seemed that she was perfectly clear with her intentions. She sat in the cab of his truck when he got into it and just looked her over. He was seeing if she was indeed the normally quiet, sweet girl she always was. He didn’t know that she was burning through. She was burning from the inside out from the first touch of his kiss.Gina looked in front of her. She had no idea why she did that, but it seemed like a good idea to do. She really hadn’t wanted to ignite a fire in her skin. The look on his face made her want to do it again and again, though. She tried to sit still, but everything that was touching her sent shivers down her spine. With the added pressure now on her skin that seemed like everything around her was going to combust, she knew she had done something other than what she had wanted to. She was trapped by the feeling as well.Gina knew she was in trouble the second she let her eye

 The night seemed to drag on as Maleek explained how he cooked the dinner and what spices he used. Normally Gina would hang on to his every word, but she had too much on her mind at the moment. He liked her. That was the number one thing in her brain she couldn’t completely settle. He had feelings for her like she did him. she had to admit it was a great feeling, but at the same time, she knew this was moving beyond her simple one-sided crush. He was not one to drag his feet though it seemed he did until she was old enough to handle this.Gina thought of Reena and Yuri. She wondered if they were having the same situation. Everyone knew how Yuri felt for Reena. The only person who seemed completely clueless was Reena. When push came to shove, she knew her sister also liked Yuri, and that was the reason she hadn’t dated much in the past four years. She used the incident as a cover, but it was the fact Yuri was there in her life on the sidelines. Gina an

  The darkened room was nothing like the Kitchen. That was a state-of-the-art room that had everything someone could ever need. It was kept as clean as a restaurant should be. He took time to scrub every surface and make sure it was exactly as it was when it was brand new. She watched him as he worked and laughed as he cracked jokes about everything.When they moved to a different room, she knew it was not as clean. It was actually a mess like a tornado had been in there. Maleek was serious about two things in his life, and extra cleaning wasn't one of them. He loved to fight. He was good at it. Having trained with some of the best over the years, he was a fighting machine when it came to the battlefield, a force to be reckoned with both as a tactical advisor and one on one. Off the battlefield, he was passionate about food. It was infectious, and Gina, of all people, had caught it from him.This room she assumed was supposed

    Gina woke up again and stretched as she did; she felt two hands on her hips move slightly. She smiled to herself; this was her life now. She rolled over and was greeted by a kiss that stole any breath she had away. “Come on, sleepyhead, we still have a lot to do today.” He said when he was done.“Pretty sure it is your fault I slept so late.” She replied as she reached over and got her towel as he stood up with nothing on.“Get used to it.” He said, and she didn’t know if he meant his nakedness or his lovemaking.“I will try.” She replied as she went to go find her bag of clothes. When he emerged from his room dressed in a tee-shirt and jeans, she was standing in the Kitchen with a sundress on, and he licked his lips. “What?’“Thank you for the foresight.”

 Calista Akechi sat in the main room in her parent's house as she listened to the chaos going on around her. The third oldest of the Akechi clan, she was the oldest still in the house. At nineteen, she was already ahead of her sisters Reena and Gina in college at the same age. Calista was going to graduate three years early in the field of astrophysics. She was the only one who took advantage of the high school program to get college credits while still enrolled in high school. She only had to do a few classes at the college to finalize her good fortune. She knew she would have to go to graduate school but wondered about the when of that.“Mom, how the hell do you think with all this noise?” Calista called out as she looked at her mother, Krissy, in her office.“I learned to block them all out because of you four.” Krissy laughed as she turned back to her computer. Krissy was the county pathologist reviewer, and she still held her p
