Her heartbeat raced as he made contact with her neck. "It's going to be nice, I promise," Hestia said with a smile. She kissed him again, one hand disengaging from his waist to move up his chest and tangle in his hair.
After a moment, she distanced herself from him slightly, one hand going to his chest encouraging him to sit on the sofa. Sensing his protest, she placed her finger over his lips. "Shhh," she hushed him, quirking her lips. "Sit here, close your eyes, and I'll be back in a moment." She placed a quick kiss on his lips, making sure that his eyes were closed before she went to the kitchen.
Quickly, Hestia poured a glass of brandy for each of them, and then she gathered the chocolate cake she'd baked and decorated earlier that day. In scarlet icing it read a simple 'Happy Birthday Viktor', and Hestia was quite pleased with how it had turned out. She balanced two forks on the plate with the small cake, and rejoined Viktor in the small sitting room. She carefully arranged the cake and drinks on the coffee table before she turned to him.
