Ailee and Miya woke up soon enough. They bath and eat silently. It worried me. When I tried talking to them, they'll smile and shake their head.

"we're fine, mom. I'm sorry for following people blindly.."

"it just that… he said he had the best gift that we could buy and we wanted to buy it for you…" then they stopped. They excused themselves to the room. And when I tried to enter the room, they forbid me.

I stood in front of the door, gaping.

"but, where am I going to sleep tonight??"

"sleep with daddy" yelled Miya. With a door locked, I could still hear their voice from the other side. I look at the door.

"is this how you should act to your mom? Now, you guys are acting like a teenager. It's not the time yet. You guys are still little kids."

"mom, we want to be alone…"

"fine." I sigh and went to the front door of Kuro's room. I stood there like a statue, afraid of entering it. What? I know nothing will happened but I'm still nervous.. a little bit panicking..

Oh suck it up, Iiana!

I knocked the door and open it fast, before losing my resolved.

"welcome back, how's the kids?" closing the door, I took a deep breath and turn around.

"they're fine, but they told me to sleep here tonig-" I stopped and blinked my eyes. He had a towel-like cloth around his hip.. wet hair.. and half naked.. and his black mask was changed into a half black mask. It shows the lower part of his face… his kissable, sexual inducing and totally would be a delicious treat lips…

I couldn't help but appreciate the male specimen in front of me. He is definitely this world god's masterpiece. wait, why am I enjoying the view too much? I thought I had a fear for man? Is it completely cured now?

His lips curved upward and he continued drying his hair.

"you're drooling, darling."

I quickly wipe my mouth and glare at him when I found none.

"i hadn't paid back what you did earlier. I told you, I'll kick your nuts if you do that again."

I charged forward with a kick without thinking. And… he dodged it easily. He grabbed my feet and easily pushed me on top of the bed. I fell and he caged me from the top.

"don't flash your claws, my little kitty.. it'll make me want to make you bare your fangs and moan all night."

That made me rigid.

"fine. I'll put it my book and will collect that debt latter."

"fine by me. That if you can face the consequences of it." his devilish smile made my heart thump for a moment there.

"put on your clothes. I'm going to sleep." I pushed him away and I hate the fact that it wasn't because of my strength that he backed away, but because he choose to.

"don't worry. I won't attack you just yet…or are you worried that it'll be the other way around?" he look over his shoulder slipping his yukata on, deliberately and painfully slow. It's like we're fighting on the opposite side; I'm the male and he's the sexy, flirty and seductress woman. I narrowed my eyes, to show him how ridiculous the idea is but his muscular back does it trick to avert my gaze to it's flexing… piece of meat that look good to-

"pffftttt! Buahahhahahah" he put his fist in front of his mouth, trying to cover his laugh.

"i don't know what to make of you. you're a walking contradiction. You're afraid of men but you long for their touch, am I right?"

"ridiculous! I've been living just fine for almost a decade now, without a man touch. I can go on longer…"

"you know… I've heard a story about a man become a monk, just for the sake of getting rid of his… worldly desire.. it works for a while.. but one sweet temptation broke him. He completely succumbed into it, like an addict. You're heading to that direction."
