———

Proceed with slight caution... possible overload of... things....

Kris placed Lena's phone on the glass table and hugged her with both of his arms.

"So.. have you thought of your gift?" Lena asked him.

"I want... I want us to take a step forward in our relationship." Kris softly replied.

"Step forward?" Lena pulled her face a bit away from Kris so she could get a good look at him. Lena put her two index finger together and tap them. "Like... that?"

Kris looked at her finger then back at her cute face. "What is that?"

"It means we... you know?" Lena spoke. But if Kris did not know what that means then maybe... he was talking about something else. "Never mind... what do you mean by next step?"

"I want you to get to know me better." Kris answered. He grabbed Lena's hand and placed it on top of his beating heart. "Because... I might be still able to let you go now if you don't like what you see about me... but later on, I don't know if I'll let you leave then. By then, I would be the monster that you would fear for the rest of your life but cannot run away from."

Lena placed her free hand on his cheeks and softly stroke it. "Ok." Lena replied immediately.

She stopped touching his face and used both of her hands and grabbed Kris' hand to hold them. "But I will tell you right now... that it would be a lie to say that I don't fear you at all."

Kris knew it already. Lena would not be his Lena if she was unfearful of anything. Their first meeting was not golden. He had choked her, slapped her, and did so many other horrible things to her before. She had seen him beat people to death and him at his weakest. But through all of that, she was still here, with him, and smiling.

Lena squeezed his hands and looked directly at his eyes. "But my love for you will always be greater than my fear for you. Every time that I am with you, my love for you grow more as my fear for you fade into the shadows."

She kissed him gently on his lips and smiled. "So Kris Li, show me your demons. I will still love you. I love your past, your present, and your future. No matter what, just let me love you. If you ever dare deny my love for you, it would be me who would be the monster you would fear for the rest of your life, and you would not be able to get away from me."

Kris laughed but he hugged Lena tightly. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Lena laughed with him. He was using her exact words against her.

Kris laid back on the sofa and let Lena settled on top of him, her head resting on his chest. He caressed her head.

"Clear your schedule for this weekend. We will go out then." Kris spoke.

"Okay." Lena replied. "Are you going to give me a hint? Or will it be a surprise like last time?"

"Hmm... Maybe when I have you cuffed to my car so you can't back out."

Lena lifted up her head and body so she was looking at the Kris... who was definitely still happy today. "Or... you can cuff me right now." She winked at him as a joke.

"I like that idea too!" Kris lifted Lena off his body and carried her.

"Ey! I was just joking, I have no cuffs!" Lena held his shoulder so she would not wall.

"It's ok. I have some." He grinned widely at her.

"What? When did you have that? Why am I only hearing about those now?"

Kris walked towards the door to exit her apartment. "Becuase if you did, then we would never leave this building. We would not want my mother at my door again, right? With you wearing no bras again..."

"AH!! That was an accident before. This is real now!"

Kris closed Lena's door, it autolocking itself. He walked up to the elevator and pressed the up button.

"So you like us getting caught?" Kris teased her some more. "We can go to your house or my house. Both of our parents would be home right?"

Kris entered the elevator and pressed the top floor. Lena pouted at him and squeezed his cheeks together. "You talk too much!"

Kris laughed. "You're not denying that you like it. Or... we can go with the bucket list." He slowly let Lena down and pushed her to the corner of the elevator room. "The e-le-va-tor." He spoke with a deep husky voice at Lena.

Lena realized that they were in the elevator and Kris was enjoying his tease with her. Kris backed away and took off his shirt.

"You're really doing it!" Lena was very much surprised how bold Kris has become due to her dirty mind.

He nodded and walked closer to Lena. He lifted her but so she was holding onto the elevator rails and her butt was just slightly sitting on it. When Lena was stable, he put his hands on her face and slowly kissed her. She wrapped her legs on his waist as he sucked on her both of her lips before diving in very deep.

He stuck his tongue inside her mouth and she gracefully accepted his kiss. Lena wanted to touch his bare skin but she was holding onto the rail. He has been hungrier and more aggressive each time they go for a deep kiss. He licked and twirled his tongue inside her mouth and danced away with her.

He let Lena breathe for half a second before tasting her again. He tasted the inside of her saliva and nubbed on her lips. After another long session of a deep sensational kiss, he released her lips and trailed the rest of his kissed down her neck.

Lena finally used one hand and grabbed Kris hair as he sucked on her neck, giving her love marks. She was about to slightly moan when the elevator door opened. She pulled Kris' hair from the panic. Kris let Lena down and turned around.

He smiled at the couple looking at them in shock. "Sorry... elevator's taken." Kris pushed the close button and turned back to look at Lena. "Where were we?"

Lena's eye was widened and her hands were on her flushed red cheeks from the passionate make-out session and from embarrassment.

"Lena... why are you always so shy later on?" Kris smirked at her.

"Because!" Lena released her hands on her face. "I realized that my mind is dirty but I don't have the gut to actually do all of them!" She admitted. Thinking, fantasizing, and actually doing it are different things.

Kris gave Lena a quick peck on her lips and held her hands. "It's ok. Your boyfriend is very bold. Just tell me what you think about and I will do them for you."

"I---" Lena looked at his serious face. She turned another darker of shade as he stared at her. "I don't like the elevator.... Can we go to your pool?" She softly muttered under her breath but Kris caught every word she said.

He picked her up as the elevator door open. "Very well, my lady." He walked toward his penthouse door.

-- Extra tiny scene

"WIFEY! SEE I TOLD YOU! I WILL GET A RAISE SOON AT WORK!" The man looked at his wife who was standing next to him in front of the elevators that just opened and closed on them.

"HUSBAND! WHY YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOUR BOSS WAS SO HOT AND HE LIVES HERE?!

"AHH???!!!"

"I am just kidding hubby. You are so chubby and I like that." The wife pinched the man's cheeks.

They both entered the next elevator that came up to them.

The husband cleared his throat. "You think... it's hot in here?"

"Hubby... don't even think about it until you get that raise, hmm?" The wife twisted the man's ear.
