Chapter 7 - Days Later & A Nice Moment Together

Rachel decided to keep this a secret from the others, especially Black Hat. Who knows what her boss will do if he found out.

That was the painful thought that she had, in her mind..

-----------------------------------------------------------

A few days went by and nothing special happened. 

Rachel was relieved about that and everything being okay. She felt alright to talk to Black Hat again. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They usually spend time together in his office, although like always, they love to do different stuff. 

An area they find to be very peaceful was in the living room, on the couch, in front of that fireplace. 

Sometimes Black Hat would be reading the newspaper while Rachel sat down beside him, next to this eldritch demon. Her boss and lover, didn't mind that. In fact, he loved the warmth coming from her as Rachel nuzzled into his right side. 

Rachel cuddled him, slightly, leaning against Black Hat's cold body. She liked that chilly, freezing feeling that she gets from him, strangely enough. 

They were with each other, down there, in this early morning. So that no one would know or bother them. Both of them wanted to keep their relationship a secret for a little bit longer. They are both fine with that. With nobody in this mansion knowing for awhile. 

Black Hat eyed her, quietly, staring at Rachel for a bit. He sensed her calm and peaceful presence, loving it again now. 

Rachel felt Black Hat's crimson red eyes, especially that visible one and the other covered by his monocle, on her. She turned around, her body slightly. Now she looked at him as well. 

Her own eyes hold an affectionate, warm gaze. She also stared at him, silently. With these green shaded eyes of hers. 

Black Hat noticed that, as he smiled slightly now. 

Rachel also had a smile again, softly. She grabbed his face with both of her hands. 

Black Hat puts his own clawed hands over Rachel's normal ones. 

He's noticing this familiar touch and loves it, as always. He kept his slight smile while he was touched with a genuine feeling, putting him at ease. 

Rachel has another smile. She leaned in, closer to him. 

Black Hat knew where she was going with this. He kissed her, on those softened lips. He feels that heat as it radiated off her. 

Rachel hummed in a quiet and silent way. Soft, calmly. 

Black Hat pulled apart from it, instead of deepening the kiss. He puts his forehead against Rachel's. 

Rachel released him from her own touch. She wrapped her arms around Black Hat's neck. She stayed there, having a peacefully nice feeling as she breathed. 

Black Hat doesn't mind it again. He listened to Rachel's heartbeat. 

He had already put his newspaper down on the small table near them. 

That demonic being just enjoyed the moment with his human soulmate. He still holds Rachel close, even now and felt warmer being with her.

Rachel stayed there. She loved it as a nice silence was between them now. She missed being close to him, truly. 

Black Hat had been missing it too, instead of asking her why she avoided him for a few days, he just enjoyed this moment with her. He was loving that quietness with his lover, his feelings for her getting stronger. 

Rachel felt the same way.
