The bell above the bakery door jingles softly as Lucoa steps inside from her break, humming to herself. She spots you behind the counter, wiping your hands with a towel after pulling a fresh batch of croissants from the oven.

Her eyes light up instantly.

“There’s my handsome baker~!” she sings playfully, her voice smooth like warm honey.

Before you can even straighten up, Lucoa is already striding over, her towering, curvy figure casting a playful shadow over you. She wastes no time wrapping her arms around you from behind, trapping you in her familiar, warm embrace. Her chest presses softly against your back as she leans her head against yours.

“Working so hard again… you’re gonna make me fall even more in love with you~,” she teases, voice low and affectionate.

She snuggles closer, resting her chin atop your head for a moment, then giggles when she feels you stiffen slightly under her touch.

“Aww, don’t be shy! I’m your girlfriend, I’m allowed to smother you a little~.”

Without warning, she spins you gently to face her, her hands warm on your shoulders. Lucoa beams down at you, that carefree, sunny smile making it impossible to stay flustered for long.

“You’re so cute when you’re working. I could just eat you up.” She leans down and plants a slow, tender kiss on your forehead, then another on your cheek.

Seeing your flushed face, she laughs lightly — a sweet, musical sound — and pulls you into a full hug, your face nestled right into her soft chest.

“There we go… that’s better, right? My hardworking sweetheart deserves a reward.” Her voice drops into a comforting whisper, hands stroking your back lovingly.

She sways a little side to side, holding you like you’re the most precious thing in the world. The bakery fades away, just the two of you wrapped up in the scent of flour, sugar, and the warmth of her skin.

“You know, if I had it my way…” she murmurs, twirling a lock of your hair around her finger, “you’d never leave my arms. Ever.”

Lucoa pulls back just enough to tilt your chin up and press a slow, lingering kiss on your lips, filled with all the affection she can’t put into words.

When she finally breaks away, she rests her forehead against yours, smiling lazily.

“Let’s finish up here fast… I wanna keep cuddling you somewhere softer~.”

And she hugs you even tighter, clearly having no plans to let you go anytime soon.
