Page 9 of Not Afraid to Trust Again
Twenty minutes later, Kyden and I pulled into his driveway. After he parked and shut off his car, he helped me out of mine.
“I don’t have to rush back to work, so we can take our time and relax,” he said as he led me up the steps.
“Good.”
I hadn’t mentioned it, but I wanted to ride his dick before I left his house.
When we entered my house,Elise took her shoes off at the door, went into the living room, and sat on the couch. I kicked my boots off at the door, put my hat on the table, and entered the living room.
“Here’s the remote. And you are lucky I already had some steak, or you would have had to get one from the store.”
She cut her eyes at me. “You mean you would have.”
She gave me a playful smile, and I shook my head.
“Do you want something else to go with it?”
“If you have some fries, I’ll take some.”
“I got you. Relax, and I’ll bring the food to you.”
She nodded, and I left the living room. Since I planned on eating steak for dinner, I already had some sitting in the fridge. I grabbed that and the fries from the freezer and got to work.
I took my time chopping up the steak and adding some onions to the pan. While that cooked, I put the French fries in the air fryer. I knew she was hungry, and I didn’t want to take too long to feed her.
I technically was on the clock, so I prayed no calls came through until we were ready to part ways, even though I was never ready to part ways with her.
I thought about her appointment while I cooked the food. Hearing our baby’s heartbeat sent me into a range of emotions, and I wasn’t afraid to express that because that was how comfortable Elise made me feel. I wanted to tell the world, but I would wait like I told her I would. I couldn’t wait to see her belly grow as our baby grew. Life was about to drastically change for us, and fast, and I needed to put some things into place before the baby came. I wanted Elise and the baby to be taken care of, whether or not I was here on Earth. I didn’t have plans of her being a single mother, but regardless, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything when it came to our baby.
“You want water or juice?” I called out.
My house had an open floor concept like my brother’s did, so she could hear me. When she hadn’t answered, I looked toward the couch and noticed she had fallen asleep.
I shook my head and chuckled. She looked so peaceful snuggled up on my couch, and the urge to ask her to move in with me hit me hard, but I wasn’t sure if she was ready for that. If she wasn’t, I at least wanted her to be here more often, or I would stay at her house. I would do whatever made her most comfortable.
Once the food was done, I put it on plates, grabbed bottles of water, and went back into the living room. I placed the plateson the table and went into the small hall closet to get the dinner trays I used. I had a table in my kitchen, but I hardly used it since I was usually home alone. The only time I used that table was when my parents came over. After setting the trays up, I put our plates on them then woke her up. I leaned down and kissed the freckles on her cheeks.
“Elise, wake up.”
When she didn’t move, I kissed her again on the lips.
“Baby, wake up. The food is ready.”
She stirred and cracked one eye open. She looked like she wanted to punch me in the face until she opened the other eye, and her gaze fell on the food.
“Why didn’t you say the food was ready?” she asked as she stretched.
“I did. You just didn’t hear me because you were ready to fight me.” I chuckled and sat next to her when she sat up.
“Because I was sleeping so good. This baby has me exhausted already.”
“Here. Use this.” I passed her the hand sanitizer because baby girl wasn’t wasting any time eating her food. “My baby is making sure you get your rest, so you can grow him or her.”
She squirted the hand sanitizer in her hand then put some in mine. I watched her as she rubbed her hands together then shook them.
“Well, I hope it doesn’t stop me from working because I have to work as much as I can until the baby comes. Speaking of that, I know it’s early, but are you going to take some time off when the baby comes?”
I got distracted when she picked up her steak sandwich, took a bite, and moaned. I watched her for a few seconds as her moans continued, and she shimmied a little as she chewed.
