“It’s a little late for that, isn’t it?”
As I bring out the covered dishes, there’s a message I need sending.
“Honey, we aren’t finished yet. This is just a break. Don’t get too comfortable.”
“Honey, huh?”
“It seemed appropriate. Your pussy is sweet.”
Hope that went down easy. The word just slipped out. Like it was the most natural thing in the world. At least she’s onboard for more. I just need my dick to recover for an hour or so. Forty-eight-year-old problems.
“Can you get the plates and utensils, or are you injured?” I tease.
She slides off the barstool like a sexy snake.
“Your wish, is my command.”
“Then kiss me. Right now.”
She dances my way over, her satin covered breasts moving sensually under the fabric.
“You’re waking up the rocket.”
She quits with the sexy moves. “Stop! I want actual food! The slice of salami wasn’t enough.”
I take her in my arms and scold. “You said it was the best salami you ever had, if I recall right.”
She shuts me up with a kiss.
We get to our respective jobs. Plates and forks, knives and spoons are set, and I bring out the whole spread.
“Do I need to warm up anything? There’s not too much pasta left.”
“No. This’ll be good. Sit down and eat me. I mean eatwithme.”
I take my place at the end of the bar, next to her.
“Don’t start what you can’t finish. Besides, I need a few minutes to restock the factory.”
“My pussy needs a few too. I might ask you to apply some cream later.”
I stare at her blankly, and it makes us laugh.
“Tell me what’s on your agenda for tomorrow? Well, today.”
She helps herself to the provolone, dry coppa, and pancetta. Rolling them together, she takes a bite.
“Teddy and I are going to dinner at my parents. Mom’s making the boys’ favorites. Before that, I have a therapy session with Dr. Franklin at two.”
“I know she’s helped you.”
“She helped me help myself, to borrow her words. It’s amazing how looking at something straight on, can make it retreat.”
“You’re emotionally strong, Aargon.”
“I always thought of myself that way, until I didn’t. Sometimes you have to go further than you ever have before, you have to go outside your comfort zone, to find peace.”
I take a cracker and load it with the same concoction she just made. Her gaze doesn’t waver.
