She struggled not to smile, but the expression pricked her peach coloured lips anyways. She would reject the compliment once again, but she didn't really have the composure to. "Really?" she asked, referring to his claims of her gorgeousness.
“It’s not my fault I’m not completely human” (O/O ~~ Open)

Her own smile brought one to his lips. He laughed nervously and shook his head. “Yes really. You might not see it but I can see it all. Everything about you is beautiful and gorgeous.” He blushed lightly, ducking his head shyly.
It took him a moment before he could lift his head to gaze at her once more. “You must think I’m weird. The first encounter we really have together was me accidentally walking in on you. And now I’m here trying to get you to believe that you’re beautiful.”
She was pleasantly caught off guard and she didn't know what to do about it. "T-Thank you" she muttered, her face glowing all sorts of reds and pinks. Her heart felt like it was going a million miles per hour.
She looked at him when he returned his gaze to her, her eyes searching for any mockery in his words. To her surprise, there wasn't any. "It's fine. Flattering, actually. I couldn't believe that ever anyways, due to the fact that it isn't true." she laughed, leaning on the counter behind her.

He murmured a soft ‘you’re welcome’ and beamed at her. Until she stated that she wasn’t what he said she was. “None sense. Take it from someone who’d rather be alone all his life, I find you enchanting.” He winked, hesitantly reaching up to brush some of her hair out of her face.
“Your hair is very pretty. I like the color red. It suits you.” He smiled at her. “And of course it’s true. I wouldn’t lie to you. I’m an honest man.”
She looked down, looking up at him again but only with her eyes, her head still facing down. She bit her lip hard when he winked. She almost screamed when his fingers grazed over her cheek as he tucked the stray piece of hair behind her ear.
"C-Cole…" she muttered, her eyes fluttering open and closed as she gripped onto the counter, resisting the urge to kiss him. "You are a good man" she replied, her face feeling like a puddle of lava.
group
He shivered at his name on her tongue. He liked it there. “Thank you Erica, you are a good woman.” The heat in her face was matched by his own blush. Cole tried desperately to keep himself under control but her sweet scent was heavy and strong from her shower.
He felt almost proud of himself to be standing here courting such a beautiful woman when before he would have hidden from her gaze. “I guess I should start dinner… would you like to help?”
"I'd love to" she replied, brushing a hand through her hair again as she moved closer to him for a split second before moving to the counter, basically panting from the tension between them. She wanted to kiss him so bad.
group
(Sorry, I had work ^^’ I’m off tomorrow tho)
Cole couldn’t handle this much tension. He was breaking down slowly with each thing she did. He nearly grabbed her arm and pulled her closer when she drifted away, but instead he calmly opened a few cupboards. “Do you have pasta? And a pot I could use?”
"Pasta is over here…" she moved over to a lower cabinet, bending over to look for it. She got it, back of the stupid cupboard, and walked back over to him, placing it on the counter before getting in front of him and opening the cabinet for the pot, her back against his front.
(It's alright)
group
He watched her move with a soft awe. He knew she was a dancer, but the way she moved was more graceful than any dancer he had ever seen.
As her back grew close to his front he closed the gap between them and gently tapped her arm. “Turn around for a moment, would you?”
She stood up and turned around, not really knowing what he was up to. She leaned against the counter, looking into his eyes curiously.
group
Cole had something a little dark in his eyes. It wasn’t malicious nor was it angry. It was want. He couldn’t stand having her so close to him. So he leaned in, gently pulling her close until their lips nearly met. “Is this alright?” He asked her softly, gently. “I want to kiss you.”
Her eyes widened before fluttering, her eyes now only half-open as she bit her lip. Her eyes searched his face, her lips parting, "Yes" she replied, "Please do" she muttered, smiling softly as he pulled her closer
group
The instant their lips met was a feeling unmatched by any other thing. He felt electric, almost as if he were buzzing.
Cole wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her directly against his chest.
A soft groan came from her lips as he pressed her lips to his, a feeling of want overwhelming her body. She wrapped her arms around his neck, running her finger up his neck and into his hair. It felt so right, his lips on hers made her feel safe.
group
Cole’s skin tingled at her touch. A soft sound tumbled from his lips and into hers, her fingers in his hair sending small shivers up and down his spine.
It all felt familiar and safe, the arms around his neck, the soft lips against his, his rough hands placed on her waist.
After leaning in a little more, Cole pulled back, placing his hands on the counter on either side of her smaller body and leaning his forehead against hers. “Does this mean you like having me around?” He teased with a smirk.
She licked her lower lip and bit it, smirking softly at his comment. "When did I ever say I didn't?" she chuckled, letting her arms hang slightly looser around his shoulders as he towered over her.
"Goodness Cole, you're a damn good kisser" she laughed, kissing him teasingly before pulling away, looking into his eyes.
group
Cole rumbled happily, leaning down more to be closer to her. “I don’t think you ever did.” He laughed softly and eyed her lips. He liked it when she bit her lower lip. It made his heart race.
“And you’re damn fun to kiss.” He retorted slyly, pressing a palm into her back to keep her close even after her kiss. He teasingly nipped at her jawline, grinning from ear to ear. “I didn’t know you could get so addicted to someone.”
She gasped when he felt his lips at her jawline, her back arching at the contact. "I didn't know how much I wanted to be so addicting" she laughed back, a soft, pleasurable mewl coming from her lips as he kissed down her neck.
She bit her lip harder, exhilarating shocks of adrenaline pricked her body wherever he touched her. She fit perfectly into his hands.
group
Her soft mewls drew a soft sigh out of him. Cole let his hands trace soft circles into her back as he paused at a certain spot on her neck, glancing up at her face.
“Congratulations, you’re now intoxicating.” He laughed, the sound rough and gravely.
She sighed softly, closing her eyes gently before smirking at his comment. "Good to know" she purred, humming at the sound of his voice when he spoke against her neck.
Her body was completely compromised by his touch and his actions, her limbs almost falling numb from all the pleasure-filled adrenaline coursing through them.
group
The dragons eyes softened ever so slightly. He could tell he was putting some sort of effect on her and he kinda liked it. “Now, should we make some pasta? We could pretend it’s a dinner date.” He pressed one last kiss to her neck before he slowly released her, but kept her trapped between him and the counter.
She groaned softly as he kissed her neck once more, missing his lips on her skin already. Her breathing quickened for a second before she blushed again. It felt like her whole body was tingling from head to toe. "Y-yeah…" she muttered as she brushed her hair out of her face, looking down at her stomach before back up at him, biting her lip once again.
group
He caressed her cheek as he placed a lingering kiss to her full lips. “You seem a little flustered, Erica.” He teased, reaching behind her to grab the pan. He turned with a wink.
“Would you be so kind as to start a sauce? Anything you’d like we can put in.”
She bit his lip and dragged it out before he could pull away, not wanting to be the only one getting teased. She stepped over to the pantry, taking out some tomato paste and other things you'd use to make a sauce.
"Well, I like mushrooms, so I hope you don't have too much of an opinion on them" she replied, looking back at him as she got another, bowl-like pan out of the cabinet.
group
He smirked at her tease, watching her walk off with a small, yet happy, sigh. Her casualness towards it all drove him mad.
“I don’t have an opinion of them really, I’ll eat it with or without.” He started the water boiling, slipping his arms around her hips from behind, grinning at her. “Although, I’m half tempted to tell you no to them. You’ve been such a tease lately.”
