"Is there a chance they can get Buddy back?"
"I'm not letting that happen, Emma. I swear to you."
The intensity with which he says the words make me believe in him. This man will protect this little creature with all that he has. That makes my heart beat a little faster for him. I'm silent for a bit, just twirling my spoon in my bowl.
"Are you okay? The food is great, by the way."
"I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye this morning."
"Why did you?"
"It just felt like too much, too soon. I couldn't handle it."
"I'm glad you invited me for dinner, though. I wanted to see you. And Buddy, of course."
"My sisters are on my case because of that note. You didn't fold it."
"Of course I folded it. I didn't want your sister to read it."
That little liar. I'm going to wring Luna's neck as soon as I see her tomorrow.
"Well, she read it anyway, the busybody."
"It wasn't a love letter, Emma."
"You'd think, right?"
We both laugh and the tension goes down a bit. I want to invite him to stay over tonight, but I'm not sure how to do it.
"Have you ever had dessert in bed?" Tristan asks.
"Only when I was a little girl. Why, is that what you want to do?"
"I was thinking about it. Yeah. We need to be in our underwear for it to taste right, though."
"Did you just make that up?"
"Yup. I really want to be in bed with you tonight."
"I guess that can be arranged."
I go to the bed and pull off the covers. Then I take off my leggings and t-shirt, leaving me with only my underwear on. I lick my lips in invitation as I look at him from where I'm standing. His gaze turns hungry, and he starts getting undressed immediately.
When he's in his boxer shorts he opens up the package where the dessert is and serves a big piece on one plate with one spoon. He walks over to the bed and hands me the plate. The tiramisu looks delicious and I want to bite into him. I mean 'it'. I want to bite the dessert, not the man.Control yourself, Emma.
Who am I kidding? I want a taste of the man, and once he gets on the bed, he takes over and starts feeding me the cake. I moan with every bite and pretty soon I see his cock tenting his boxers. This will be night two of trying to break the bed with Tristan, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Chapter 10
Tristan
My dreams last night have been sweet as honey. I attribute it to the fact that I have a beautiful woman next to me when I wake up. She looks already awake, and I give her a big smile. It's my panty-melting smile and I only use it on special occasions.
"Good morning, my queen."
"Good morning. It looks sunny outside."
"So It'll be cold, just sunny today. That's a good deal. Are you very busy today?"
