Brief blurb:

When a late night shift on a rainy night, turns into a steamy situation with one of Katrina's Sous Chefs.

*****

"Chef, can you stay until eleven?" I turn around and see one of my coworkers, chef Kane standing at me.

"Sure." It's not like I could say no, I'm only a Demi chef and the restaurant is busy at the moment.

"Thank you. Also, chef Mateo wanted to talk to you at the end of your shift." I nod my head and bite my lip as I keep myself in check.

Chef Mateo is, the sweetest, most adorable man, he's got an Italian accent, tall, muscular body, his head is shaved and he has a short stubble on his face that make him oh so handsome.

His arms are smooth, he rolls his sleeves up to his elbows and every time he is next to me he puts his hand on the small of my back and brings himself as close to me as possible which sends me crazy.

Mateo walks in and out during my shift and soon enough it's just the two of us closing the kitchen.

There is silence between us but every time I'm close to him he puts his hands somewhere on my back, shoulders or arms. Sending my senses a little crazy.

While we're closing the kitchen he starts up a conversation.

"So, I heard that you wanted to move to morning shifts?" I am startled by his question and turn my attention straight on him. Almost getting lost in his gorgeous light blue eyes.

"Yeah, since I split with Tony it's been a bit of chaos with getting someone to watch Micah. But my sister will move in with me next week, so it's only temporary." I see a smile from relief make its way into his features.

"I'm sorry you have to go through all this. But I'm glad it's temporary. I can set that up for next week for you." I smile and nod in appreciation. I end up becoming quite lost for words when I'm around him.

We finish closing in silence and soon we are heading towards the change rooms together.

"How are you getting home?" He asks me as we stand in front of the change rooms.

"I live down the road. So I just walk." He nods his head.

"So do I, did you want to walk together?" I smile at his offer and nod my head.

"I'll wait out the front of staff entry when I'm ready." He says before walking away. I turn to enter the change room with a grin on my face.

I take my cap off and take my brown curly hair out, unbuttoning my top and taking my shoes off all before I even open my locker.

It doesn't take long for me to get changed and soon, I'm making my way to the staff exit at the same time as Mateo. He looks so handsome in his leather jacket, dark blue jeans and biker boots.

We walk side by side in silence, his fingers brushing against mine every now and again. We get to the exit doors to the street and are brought to a sudden holt from the rain.

"How far is your place from here?" He asks me.

"I live across the road and down the street, how about you?" He smiles.

"I live two streets away. I'll walk you to yours." I blush but give a small giggle.

"More like run in this weather." He gives an amused smile which makes me weak to my knees and nods his head in agreement.

We set out in the rain, waiting to cross the road, he has his hand on the small of my back as we jog across the road and down the street to my house. While we stand under the small amount of shelter at the front of my house I turn to him.

"Do you want to come in and wait out this rain?" I ask as it starts to get worse. He looks out to the rain and then back at me, nodding his head with a smile.

I unlock the door and let him in before me. Walking to the back I open the door and let my dog in, she has a kennel for shelter but I let her sleep inside each night. She gives a sniff to the new person in the house then walks to her bed, curling up for the night.

I lead Mateo into the kitchen where I start a pot of coffee. I try to distract myself as I watch him sit down on one of the bench stools at my kitchen island, taking off his wet jacket. And lord part of me wishes he hadn't because his white V neck is clinging to his body since it's wet. Outline his gorgeous frame.

"Any sugar?" I ask.

"One please." I smile and put in his sugar.

"Do you mind if I get changed into something less soaking?" I ask him as I point to my clothes. I watch his eyes trail down the length of my body, lingering on certain areas that he seemed to like, including my chest.

"Not at all." He says, I go to walk past him put he grabs hold of my arm with his strong smooth hand, standing up, bringing himself so close to me that my breath hitches in my throat.

"Where's your bathroom?" He asks in a deep husky voice.

"Down the hall. I can show you." Even as I say that, neither of us make any attempt to move.

I watch him visibly gulp and step back, letting go of me. I lead him down the hall in silence to where my bathroom is. He walks inside, giving me a soft smile before closing the door. I sigh and close my eyes composing myself for a second before going to my room.

I walk in and toward my wardrobe, stripping my wet top off and rummaging through to find my jumper. I find it and just as I do I feel someone's hand on my exposed back. I stand up from my bent position to find Mateo standing right next to me. So close to me in fact, my instinct was to put my hand on his chest to steady myself with how close he is.

His hand holds my wrist, keeping my hand on his chest. I can feel his heart is going as crazy as mine.

"I can't resist you anymore. I want you." He says in that same husky voice as he tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"You know this would be breaking rules. You're technically my boss." He sighs and reds his forehead against mine.

"I'll find a different kitchen to work in if it comes to that. All that we will figure out. But right now, I'm going to kiss you." And with that, his lips press against mine, like as though he knows exactly how he's suppose to kiss me. So perfect and effortless. His big strong hand cups my cheek as the other holds my body to him. I miss him back and close my eyes, letting myself bask in the pleasure his hands and his lips seem to give me.

His hand trails down to under my ass, pulling my leg around his hip. I wrap my arms around the back of his neck and his pulls my body the rest of the way up so my legs are wrapped around his hips.

I bite his lip, letting him know I want to deepens the kiss, which he does straight away. The next thing I know, I'm laying down on my bed and he's on top of me, his lips disconnect from mine for a minute as e trails kisses down my neck and tugs at the hem of my pants.

At the same time I take hold of the hem of his shirt, pulling it up. He pulls away from me to remove his top. And I can't help but bite my lip at the perfectly sculptured man in front of me.

He leans back down and kisses me sweetly, his hands makes his way to my back and unclips my bra, and it's not long before I've got my hand on the back of his neck while he's latching on to my nipples.

I feel one of his hands train down my stomach and to the hem of my pants. This time he undoes my button and unzips my jeans.

A part of me wants him to just rip my pants off me but the other half doesn't want him to see the scars on my thighs that Tony has left behind.

"Wait..." I say but it's too late as he's already pulled my pants down and spotted the scars.

He looks up at me and I can see the pain in his eyes, as he furrows his eyebrows ready to fire the question.

But instead, he just crawls up and kisses my forehead and then my lips, kissing me deeply.

"I won't hurt you. I just want to love you." I can feel my eyes well up from his words as I bitch my lip to try and keep myself together.

"You are beautiful, scars and all." I let out a soft cry from how unexpected but appreciated his words are. He wipes away the tears.

"We can stop if you want to." I take a deep breath in and out and shake my head.

"I want this with you." He smiles and kisses my lips soft and sweetly but it doesn't take long for him to deepen the kiss.

He pulls my pants down the rest of the way, taking my panties with them. He kisses my inner thighs, kissing my scars before he starts to make me see stars with his lips and tongue on my core. I grip the sheets to stop myself from grinding myself against his mouth. He teases me bringing me close but stops before I could climax. He crawls back up my body and kisses me deeply. I take hold of his pants and quickly undo them tugging them down. He pulls away and sits next to me on the bed to take them off. As soon as his pants and briefs are off I straddle his body, he moans into my mouth while I kiss him as my flaps are right on top of his erection.

I kiss down his body and give him a seductive look before I take his shake into my mouth. His hands straight away grip my hair as I bring him close to cumming, same as he did to me, I stop before he can cum.

I make my way back to his lips, kissing him, he wraps his arms around me as I straddle him. His erection so close to my entrance it's driving me crazy, I take hold of his erection and place it inside my entrance, both of us moaning from the instant pleasure.

"Fuck." He swears breathlessly as I start to move on top of him, his hands on my hips helping me keep my rhythm.

It doesn't really take that long for the both of us to reach our climax due to the build up of the moment. I lay down beside him with my head on his chest and his finger tips tracing random patterns against my arm.

"I have been waiting so long to have you in my arms." He murmurs softly before pressing his lips against my forehead.

"I've wanted you since I was your apprentice five years ago." He gives a soft smile.

"If I had of known then, what I know now I would have told you how I feel a long while ago." I smile and stroke his cheek softly.

"And what do you feel for me?" I ask. I watch as his cheeks flush in a little bit of pink.

"How I feel about you? I feel like the world is brighter with you around. I feel that you're the only reason I show up to work. I feel that every part of me wants to be with you every day for the rest of my life. What I feel for you is everything, all at once. I'm crazy in love with you." I bite my lip and kiss him softly and deeply.

"I'm in love with you too." He grins at my comment and kisses me again, bringing my body closer to his. His strong arms wrapped so perfectly around me.
