The afternoon had slipped away entirely unnoticed, swallowed whole by the quiet time they spent alone together in the room.
Because they had missed lunch completely while messing around, the sudden arrival of evening brought a sharp, heavy wave of hunger.
The moment they looked down at the dinner plates sitting on the table, their stomachs roared. The craving was instant, and they both dug into the food right away without saying a word.
Looking back, it was a huge relief that nobody had knocked on their door to interrupt them. No one had come to tell them it was time for lunch.
Zade, for one, would have absolutely hated that. The mere thought of having to put everything down...Nope!
To him, nothing was more appetising than Rai...
Now, they were sitting side by side at a large, noisy table. Zade stole a quick glance at the man next to him and let out a quiet, secret sigh.
