Until You

Lita quickly closed her files and securely kept it inside the drawer. It nearly 6 p.m. and Lita was barely suppressed her excitement of going home. Today, after two weeks without his smiles, his gentle words, his touches and his kisses, Nephrite had come home from New York. She had missed him so much that she barely knew what had happened during two weeks without him. All she could think of was the day he would come back. Waiting him was her most tormenting moment. Sweet tormenting moments. Lita almost cursed in frustration when her intercom buzzed annoyingly. She had to meet Nephrite by 6.30 p.m. and now her uncle was summoning her. Impatiently, she knocked her uncle痴 office door and heard his curt answer.

添es, uncle?・Lita walked gracefully toward him and without invitation she sat down. Her uncle looked at her, amazed how much she had changed after the incident where the whole world thought she had drown with the famous president of Stanton Industries. She was more radiant and her eyes sparkled like she had found something valuable and rare during her missing. Today, wearing her turquoise silk shirt with her long black skirt, she was the most elegant secretary he had ever hired. 的 have a new assignment for you.・

鄭n assignment? You need me to do it now?・Lita prayed he didn稚 as she glanced at the antique clock on her right. 6.10 p.m. Driving home would certainly take approximately 15 to 25 minutes and she was late.

填nfortunately, yes. I need a contract together with the terms and condition.・His answer made Lita痴 heart torn between the need to see Nephrite and her responsibilities to do her job. Nephrite will understand. She assured herself. I hope.

Nephrite glanced at his watch and obviously Lita had been late for half an hour already. His impatient converted to suspicious. It was impossible to say that Lita had forgotten about their meeting tonight. He wandered around his luxurious living room, feeling empty and lonely. It had been two weeks since he had seen Lita and he didn稚 blame her if she began to feel differently about their relationship. But he knew that he would not change the way he felt from the first time his lips touched hers.

He had spent sleepless nights for two weeks, and the very time he had slept, he dreamed about Lita. Dreaming about the way her smiles make his heart pounding, dreaming about the luxurious mass of her mahogany hair spread across his broad shoulder every time they spent their days off at the beach together and especially dreaming about the passionate kisses they had shared. He was overly protective and obsessive about Lita that only she filled his mind day and night. Not even his hours of work could banish the seductively blackening images of Lita.

Rolling up his sleeves, Nephrite sat back and closed his eyes. He was tired of hours of flying home. Slowly he drifted into a deep slumber・

* * * * * *

Her nervous footsteps echoed through the corridor. Lita ran slowly, not wanting to disturb the neighbors but not wanting to keep Nephrite wait any longer neither. When she arrived, she was breathless and nervous and excited. Her hand shook as she turned the doorknob quietly, wondering how would Nephrite react for her awfully delayed arrival. She hesitantly took off her shoes and tiptoed around the living room. Then, her eyes caught the powerful male figure slept soundly, stretching across the sofa. Lita felt guilty for making him wait this long and tenderness and love swept through her heart as her eyes scanned the person that had haunted her dreams.

Lita noted the lines of weariness across his rugged feature and she frowned in concern and worry. Obviously, he had worked way too hard this time and the urged to scold him for working too hard was tempting. Slowly, she sat down beside him and her hand slowly brushed the crisp of hair from his muscle jaw. Her hand tenderly cupped his cheek as she recalled how wonderful it felt to feel his muscle went tight when she kissed him. Unable to stop herself, she leaned forward and kissed softly on his forehead and saw he relax.

Lita recalled the conversation that she had with him a few weeks ago. Nephrite had asked her to keep their relationship as a secret and his reason made her smiled each time she thought about it.

"If we tell the reporters about our relationship, they will haunt you endlessly and then we will have hard time to see each other and I-,・he leaned forward until she could smell the wondrous scent of his fragrant. ・am not ready to share you with public.・His feature turned fierce and he hold her closer than he had ever hold her, tightened his grips protectively. "I'ml never be ready to share you with public because I'm obsessive with you, Jupiter. Forever."

Lita softly fingering the hard muscle of his temple and then down to his cheek and lastly touched the only soft part of his face, his lips. "You don't know how obsessive I am to you, general,・she whispered. Suddenly, she wanted to lay down close to him, as they usually had done whenever, they were alone with her spread wildly across her chest and the wonderful feeling of his strong hand smoothing her hair. But this time, he would not run his fingers through her hair, of course.

She untied her hair and took out her jacket. As she lay down beside him, she spread her glorious mass across his chest and rested her head on his chest. The steady and strong heartbeat of Nephrite made Lita unconsciously smiled while her slender fingers hold him close to her. I love you, Nephrite. She thought, closing her eyes. So much in love with you.

* * * * * *

Nephrite suddenly awoke at the middle of the night, wondering what had awakened him. Someone was sleeping with him and she fit perfectly in his embrace. Searching for the table lamp that was somewhere beside the soft, Nephrite felt the softness of her hair that was now spreading wonderfully across his chest like the dreams he always had. His hand made contact with the switch of the lamp and he switch it opened. The soft light of table lamp shone dramatically toward the person who was daring enough to sleep together with him.

His heart skipped a beat as his eyes scanned the captivating image of sleeping Lita with her hair spread luxuriously. Never had he saw Lita more beautiful and more desirable than he saw her in this moment. He never wanted to wake her, he just to watch her, to remember every fine detail of her face; afraid she was just another figment of his illusion. She was perfect in every way, especially when she lay asleep in his arms right now. He slowly ran her hand through her hair, like he usually did, savoring the softness of her hair. He had so many things to ask her; so many problems he wanted to share with her and so many hilarious incidents he wanted to tell her. If only she could wake up and give him her smile.

Miracles always happen to them as Lita opened her eyes and looked up to meet his eyes, smiling. She sat up, trying to comb her dishevel hair. "How long had you up?"

"Long enough to see you drool," he teased her.

"I did not drool on you!・Lita retorted. He chuckled softly as he answered, "You may not drool on me but you're drooling over me.・

"Wonder how can you walk in through the door with an ego that big," Lita muttered but loud enough for him to hear.

"That's why my door is made huge, considering my ego is so big," he teased her again, enjoying every minute of it.

"Whatever," she glared at him. Nephrite smiled as he drew her close to his heart.

"I miss you,・his voice changed from irritating to husky. "Me too,・Lita looked up. At a leisurely pace, he kissed her tenderly, telling her that he needed her more than anything in this world did. As if she understood, Lita moved her arms from his chest to around his neck, pressing her mouth deeper. Nephrite continued kissing her and pressing her back to the sofa. His kisses grew more persistent, bolder and deeper but Lita could feel he struggled for his flimsy self-control. Reluctantly, Nephrite pulled his lips away and breathed heavily.

"Perhaps we should have a normal date.・He said ruefully but smiled teasingly at her. Lita laughed easily and stood up, straightening her shirt. "I'll make the dinner.・

"Make it as a supper!・she heard he called out and she laughed at his quick joke.

* * * * * *

"So, you are finally together with him?・A figure of well-built man crossed his arms above his chest. His eyes were the shard of ice, so cold and so menacing. "It won't be long, my sweet love. It won't be long,・he promised quietly.
