Page 39 of Not Afraid to Trust Again
She stirred the beef again and hummed. A few seconds later, she turned the pot off and faced me.
“Butter pecan.” She smirked. “For the same reason you said.”
I turned my pot off and stepped closer to her.
“I don’t need you to be my favorite ice cream for me to want to lick you.” I leaned in close and licked the side of her neck. My dick jumped when she moaned. “Let’s get back to this food, because we have some other things to do.” I kissed her neck and stepped away.
I had to distract myself so my dick would go down. Elise just had to exist in my presence and my dick would get hard. That was how attracted to her I was.
“Like all that stuff that was on the table?” she asked as she drained the beef.
“Yes.”
We got busy finishing up the food and making our plates. Since we had options, we each had beef and chicken with hard and soft shells. Elise only ate some of the corn, whereas I ate the rice. There was some leftovers, so if she wanted to, she could take some for lunch the next day. I for sure was making myself a plate for lunch.
“How can we create more positive moments when we are together?” Elise asked.
I finished chewing the food in my mouth before using my napkin to wipe off any excess food.
“Be intentional about the things we do together. If there are any negative moments, we work together to turn them around. Of course, we need to address things, but there is no need to dwell on them. I feel like if we do things that we could agree on that make us both happy, then we’ll be good.”
“I like that, and I agree.”
I nodded and picked up my last taco. The evening was still young, but I didn’t want us to wait too long to get to the next step of the night.
We spent a few minutes putting the kitchen back together before heading to the living room. Since Elise took a detour to the bathroom, I took that time to set everything up. I had to put some cushions on the floor and grab a few towels from the linen closet in the hallway.
“For this part, we have to sit on the floor. Are you okay with that?” I asked when she entered the living room.
“Yes, sir.”
I helped her to the cushions on the floor, then sat next to her.
Once we were both comfortable, I gave her a mixing bowl and a spatula.
“We have all of the things to make our own face mask,” I informed her. “We can do a moisturizing one, or something for evening skin tone. Or we can do softening or exfoliation. Whatever you want, we can do.”
“How did you know what to get?” she asked as she looked at everything spread out.
“Google and your sister.” I chuckled.
I had no idea what to do or what to get, but Janae helped me tremendously. I just knew how I wanted the night to turn out, and Janae mentioned this idea. She informed me that Elise’s skin tended to dry out when the weather changed, and with everything that happened, she hadn’t done her skincare like she usually did.
I found a website online that carried something called GLO oil, so I purchased some to add to whatever we made. We could also use it separately as a moisturizer.
“Looks like you have everything here.” She leaned over and kissed my cheek. “You did a good job.”
“Thank you. Do you know what you are going to start with?”
Her eyes roamed the ingredients on the table until they landed on the honey. She reached over and poured some honey into the bowl then grabbed her next ingredient.
“Yup,” she said with a smile as she added something else to her bowl and stirred it.
I picked up a few things and added them to my bowl as well.
Once we had everything mixed, we applied our face masks, and I set a timer. Elise and I leaned against the couch while the masks did their thing.
“What was the one thing that attracted you to me when we first met?” I asked.
