Convincing her

Chapter 340: Christmas Surprise.

Rachel had been nervously sitting on the sofa in her living room waiting for a response to her message when the doorbell rang. She blankly stared up in surprise because she was not expecting anyone since Laura had told her that she had to attend an event for work and Brian had an emergency project that he couldn't tell her about that he left for a few days ago, so she was not expecting anyone.

The doorbell rang again startling her out of her thoughts. With a frown, she stood up from the sofa and wore her flip-flops before going to open the door. She looked at the small screen and the frown on her face immediately blossomed into a smile. She quickly opened the door and threw herself at Brian who was carrying grocery bags making take a few steps back since he was not prepared for the impact.

"I made it," he said with a chuckle as he walked into the house with Rachel hanging off his body like a Koala. He kicked the door closed behind him and placed the bags in his hands on the floor. He placed his hands around her waist to support her weight and was surprised to touch skin instead.

"I'm glad you did," Rachel said with a bright smile as she pulled back to look at him.

"Did you miss me?" Brian asked as he smiled back at her and bit his bottom lip exposing his slightly longer canines. Rachel nodded dazedly as she was transfixed with his smile.

"I missed you too," Brian said as he pulled her up dislodging her hold on him and placing her back on the ground and looking at her. 

"What a way to welcome me back," Brian said and raised his hands higher caressing her sides his thumbs met bouncy flesh at the bottom edge of the loose cropped sweater she was wearing.

"Brian!" Rachel shrieked in surprise as she jumped back in surprise, causing him to laugh.

"I brought food," he said, picking up the grocery bags once more and heading to the kitchen. Rachel fanned her warm cheeks as she followed behind him.

"You must be tired, I'll deal with this. Go wash up first," Rachel said when she noticed that he was emptying bags on the kitchen counter.

"I'll help a bit before I go," Brian said as took out the heavier things.

"No, now go, come on go on," Rachel said as she took both of his hands and ushered him out of the kitchen.

"Okay, I'll go, but there's still something…" Brian started to say but was cut short when Rachel blocked his lips with hers. She had planned to surprise him so she can quickly kiss him and escape but she forgot that he had very quick reflexes so after pausing for half a second he immediately held the back of her head so she was unable to escape from his grasp. Knowing that she had failed to outsmart him, she resigned to her fate and relaxed in his hold.

When he opened his mouth against hers she unconsciously held his t-shirt in her fist and pulled him closer to her. Brian released the hold that he had on her head and wrapped his arm around her slim waist instead.

When his tongue traced her bottom lip, she completely softened against him. Smiling softly, he nipped her lip teasingly before releasing her reluctantly.

"You are not making this easy," Brian muttered as he placed his forehead on hers. Rachel bit her bottom lip her cheeks flushing in embarrassment.

"I'll be quick," Brian said and pecked her lips before disappearing into her bedroom.

Rachel stood there for a few seconds with her reddened cheeks while looking at the already closed door before she quickly turned around and went to the kitchen.

She quickly arranged everything that needed to be arranged before reheating the food that she had cooked earlier. Even though she had spent Christmas alone, she did not want to mistreat herself so she cooked all day and made a feast.

As she put the juice she had made that day at the table, she felt a pair of hands circle around her waist.

"Are you hungry? Sit down and eat," Rachel said as she moved back because she was too close to the table.

"I'm hungry but I'm in a dilemma," Brian answered as she lightly moved from side to side swinging Rachel with him.

"What dilemma? Just eat," Rachel said with red cheeks. She didn't know if he was doing it on purpose but his hands had ridden up her torso so her breasts had been resting on his arms.

"I do want to 'just eat' but I'm not sure what I should start with. The food on the table or you," Brian said and straightforwardly held her breasts, startling her enough that she gasped in surprise.

"Stop fooling around and just eat," Rachel said as she grabbed his wrists but didn't pull his hands off. Brian chuckled before taking a bite of her neck.

"You-"

"Did you know I was coming back? Is that why you are dressed like this?" Brian asked and squeezed her breasts. Rachel blinked furiously as she tried not to be distracted.

She had started wearing the clothes that Laura was getting for her and from the looks of it, Brian liked them. A lot. She had worn the set of sweats that Laura got, which had a cropped sweater that seemed to cover her to just below her breast and sweatpants that look like they had been cut short right above the knee. Her bra was too restricting earlier, so she had removed it not knowing that she would end up regretting her decision in just a few hours.

"I dressed like this because… it's comfortable. Just eat your food first hmm? We can do this later okay? You doing this is a bit…" Rachel trailed off when she felt Brian lick behind her ear. She closed her eyes and shook her head before pulling off his hands.

"You eat first," Rachel said, her voice trembling slightly as she stepped out of his arms.

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Brian said when he determined that he had teased her enough. He didn't leave her alone but pulled her to sit next to him while he had dinner.

"You're not eating?" Brian asked as he poured some juice in a glass.

"I already had dinner, just eat," Rachel reassured.

"I hope you'll have enough energy for later," Brian said and glanced at her with his black eyes. Rachel cleared her throat before looking away.

He was always like this whenever he came back from a mission. It's like he still had an adrenaline rush from where he came from but was restraining himself until they actually entered the bedroom.

Brian quickly finished his meal and with his insisting cleared the table and even washed the dishes.

He then joined Rachel on the sofa where she was staring at her phone.

"What is it?" He asked as he pulled her closer to him.

"I'm waiting for a response, from my mom," Rachel answered as she nervously bit on her lips.

"Oh," Brian responded in surprise. After she said she didn't want to go see her mom, he thought that she wouldn't make a move to contact her first. He finally realised that she just wanted reassurance that when she reached out, she will get a positive response.
