Is this destiny?

It was after 10 AM when Masika and Zack left her room.

They headed to the kitchen in search of food because both of them were starving.

Zack wanted to go straight to the base, but Masika told him that she will be angry if he leaves with an empty stomach and he didn't want to leave her side, however, he didn't think that he should linger either. It was a tough decision, but he could not deny this to Masika. Not on their first morning together as a couple.

There was plenty of leftover pastry after breakfast, so they didn't need to prepare anything other than coffee for Zack and a tea for Masika. By the time they warmed up an assortment of pastries, their beverages were ready and they sat at the table to fill their stomachs.

Masika munched on the croissant and looked at Zack dreamily.

They made love and then cuddled and kissed, and he asked her many times if she is feeling alright and if it was good for her.

Masika likes that he is concerned about her, but it was embarrassing to talk about it.

She wanted him to shower first so that she can discard the messed up bedsheet which has bloodstains, but Zack scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bathroom.

Masika and Zack ended up showering together and for her, that was an intense experience. She was staring at his body, unsure where she should touch him but then… she touched him everywhere with an excuse that she is helping his wash. Masika was happy that Zack didn't object, but she noticed his almost pained expression.

"Is everything alright?" Masika asked. "Are you hurt?"

"No. Maybe showering together was not a good idea." If he knew that her bare body will be so arousing, he would take that offer to shower first. But now it's too late, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Masika followed his eyes and realized that he is looking at his erection.

She smirked and decided to tease him because Zack was always cool and composed, and now it seems that she has the advantage. "Is once a day your limit? Is that because you are so old?"

Zack shot her a side-glance. Did she call him... old? "The only thing preventing me from pinning you against that wall is the fact that I'm out of condoms. Or are you taking contraception?"

Masika was flustered. How could she forget about that? But Zack remembered and she was grateful that at least one of them is responsible. "No, I'm not taking anything. I will talk to Anna and start taking a pill right away."

Zack was happy to hear this, but it does not help his current predicament. Actually, the thought of Masika taking a pill so that they can go at it raw, increased his arousal. Why does he feel like a teenager who can't control himself? Masika has that effect on him. He was aware that if he does not get relief, the chances are big that he will be in pain later, but there is no way that he will reveal this to Masika. As a man, he needs to be tough.

"Let's finish this quickly before I lose control, or it gets worse." Zack said while swiftly rinsing the shower gel off from his body. Ah, he will smell like Masika all day. It's sweet and flowery, and he won't mind.

He froze when he felt her hand wrapping around his length.

"Masika, what…?" He stopped talking when he saw her going down on her knees.

"There are many things I want to do with you. And this is one of them…" Masika said before taking him in her mouth.

Masika looked up and saw his ecstatic expression and again… she was in control and it was amazing.

Back to the present…

While Masika was remembering the events from earlier that morning with a goofy smile on her face, Zack had thoughts about the future.

After three years of waiting, Zack and Masika are a couple, and he is elated how well she is responding to him. He wanted to take it slow, but this is fine also. After all, they would end up rolling in the sheets sooner or later, and it was only a matter of when.

How Zack sees this, the two of them already know each other well. They spent a lot of time studying together and honing their skills through practice and numerous missions. There is an unbreakable trust between them, and Zack wants to spend as much as possible time with Masika when they are not facing mortal dangers, which means that they should live together. However, the base of the Army of Chaos is not an option. He has his room there, but other than that, the privacy is zero. And Zack does not want to make Masika move to a place that is dominated by guys full of testosterone and fighting urges. She is the general, and everyone there are her subordinates, but there is a chance that some of the guys might forget that and make a move on her, or worse… Zack can always come and visit Masika, but he is beyond the age where he should visit his girlfriend and be happy with a few hours in her room. So, the only solution is to find a neutral place. A place they can call theirs…

"Masika, I want you to move in with me."

Zack's words pulled Masika out of her thoughts.

"What?" She was not sure if she heard him right.

"I'm not a kid to sneak around, and seeing you occasionally is not enough. I want us to move in together." Zack clarified.

"You want me to move in with you?" Masika repeated his original question. "At the base?"

"No. I will find a place in the city. It will be big enough for both of us. What do you say… will you consider moving in with me?"

Masika's eyes darted around nervously. Dating Zack was something she dreamed about and spending more time with him is definitely something she approves of. Living together, is also a move she would not object but… leaving the Cliffside Villa?

She was not sure how to respond because she didn't have a response, but she saw his expectant gaze directed at her and she wanted to tell him that she needs time to think about it…

"No." Aiden's stern voice came from the back.

Both Masika and Zack froze and turned toward Aiden in slow motion.

Aiden sat at the table with them and took a big bite of French toast. He chewed while observing Masika and Zack like he didn't just intrude on their conversation or threw a 'no' bomb.

Aiden and Sarah made love for the last few hours, and Aiden is in a good mood because Sarah told him that she is not taking a pill anymore which means: babies! Aiden is here as part of the whole 'good mood' thing, to prepare breakfast for his wife who will soon be impregnated, if she is not pregnant already (and for himself). First, he headed to the kitchen in the main building, but then he remembered that there is a good chance for leftovers, and he came to check and see what is available. It will save him precious time and he can go back sooner to the lovey-dovey mood with Sarah who is enjoying a bubble bath to avoid sore muscles before they engage in another lustful session of lovemaking and making babies. Sarah said, 'a baby', but if Jeff can make two in one go, why would Aiden hope for less?

Aiden didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he heard Zack asking Masika to move in with him or to move out of the Cliffside Villa (how Aiden understood the question), and he could not stay quiet.

Zack was the first one to break the awkward silence. "Aiden, Masika, and I are dating. And we want to live together."

Zack did his best to sound firm, but he had a feeling like he is talking to the scary father of his girlfriend and that was ridiculous because Aiden is obviously not Masika's father, and also, Zack and Aiden are about the same age.
