"What . You deserve it . " She replied before her eyes fell into the mark she left on his neck .
"Huh? You're still not satisfied? Giving me a hickey isn't enough for you?" He asked as he looked at her with disbelief .
"Well, kind of?" She coolly answered and Zaki could only close his eyes as he breathed deeply . Well, Zaki wasn't aware that the reason why Hinari messed with him just now was not actually because of him biting her earlobe but because of her little frustration with him .
"Fine, but I'm telling you, don't you dare say you'll leave this house again even if it's just a joke . You understand?" He firmly warned her as his grip in her hands loosened . However, Hinari didn't flinched, she instead grinned like a mischievous villain at him .
"Hmm? What if I will?" She playfully uttered with a seductive tone, teasing him again as usual . But surprisingly, Zaki who usually retort with words didn't speak . His grip in her hands tightened again and his eyes were just glued onto her .
"What's this Mr . Beauty? Don't tell me you're now falling with my gorgeousness---"
Zaki swiftly moved in an instant, causing Hinari to swallow the rest of her words due to surprise . It was because Zaki suddenly buried his face in the nook of her neck and without a warning, his warm lips slammed on her nape before he started sucking it, hard yet a little bit gentle . He exactly did the same thing Hinari did to him .
That moment, Hinari's eyes widened and she couldn't react on time . That by the time she manage to snap back to her senses, Zaki already lifted his face and was staring at her .
"If you insist, then, I'll just punish you like this every time you say it . " Zaki said with a glint of mischievousness flashed across his eyes . However, the girl never planned to lose to him at all .
Zaki's face was still a bit close to hers so his lips were still within her reach . Thus, the next moment, Hinari lifted her face and caught his lips despite her unable to hold him because Zaki was still locking her hands above her head .
Due to her unexpected move, Zaki was caught off guard . He thought that he could at least make her stop being stubborn by trying to punish her but the result seemed to get worst . She sucked his lower lip and before he could pull away from her kiss, Hinari bit his lower lip and she didn't let it go . Not until Zaki finally gave in and he let go of her hands .
"You… are you trying to rip my lip off or something?!" Zaki complained when Hinari s.e.xily smiled at him . She lifted her hand and touched Zaki's lip as if she was trying to soothe the pain she caused .
"I will never do that, okay? I don't want to hurt your beautiful self to that extent . I just want to tell you that don't even think about threatening me my dear beauty . " She replied with unfading mischievous smile and Zaki could only pinch the muscle between his brows .
'd.a.m.n… this girl really is… She's really giving me headaches . '
After complaining inside his brain, Zaki heaved a sigh of surrender before he helped her up . He didn't hate her being mischievous like this and somehow he always find it cute if she refuse to let herself lose to him . However, sometimes, he suddenly feel this sudden strong urge to make her taste her own medicine for real and make her obediently submit to him . And that was why he could only surrender before he will lose control again . Not at least in this place and situation .
By the time the two of them were now sitting properly inside the car, Zaki spoke .
"Anyway, stop fooling around for now . Someone really needs your help . " Zaki's tone turned serious and calm causing Hinari to heave a deep breath as well . She understood that Davi's case was not easy to solve . That was why she will need to plan carefully for this .
"You guys still didn't tell me what happened to her but never mind, I'll go talk to her before I'll let you know about the plan tomorrow . But I don't understand, why does your brother the great seem a bit too impatient? It's only been days since Davi returned right?" Hinari said and Zaki could only sigh . Well, if only Sei didn't lose his mind last night, he might not be in such haste right now .
"Sei just wanted her back so bad as soon as possible . " Zaki could only reply before he held her hand .
"Let's go . Sei is waiting inside . " He continued and Hinari obediently followed because she knew that her best friend will be her priority for now .
"You have to make it clear to your brother that he has to obediently partic.i.p.ate with whatever plan I'll make, okay?" Hinari said as they walk .
"Don't worry, that guy will do everything as long as it's for his wife's sake . " Zaki replied and Hinari could only nod with satisfaction .
…
Upon Zaki's arrival at the study room, Sei's voice immediately rang .
"So?" He uttered as he continued working, seriously tapping on the laptop on the table as Zaki just walked quietly towards him before he lazily sat across him .
"You know that she just love messing with me . She never meant what she said . " Zaki said and Sei lifted his face and looked at him .
"Isn't it your fault that she's like that to you?" Sei said and Zaki raised a brow .
"H-huh? What do you even mean by that?" He asked, looking at Sei with a curious look in his eyes .
"I believe it's because you're not taking your relations.h.i.+p with her seriously . " Sei replied before he casually returned his gaze onto the laptop's screen while Zaki was suddenly lost for words .
