Page 29 of Resisting Your Love

I thought about it. "It's a lot of things my parents used to cook. Even though, like you, we had a chef, that didn't matter to my mother and father. They'd get up early sometimes on a Sunday to cook Sunday dinner before church. My mother used to always make the best shrimp scampi. I loved it, and to this day, if I ever want it, she'll make it for me. When I got older, I cooked for myself, and my favorite thing to cook is steak and chicken tacos."

She gasped as her mouth opened wide. "Oh my! I haven't had either in a long time. You have to cook that for me one day."

"Just let me know when you want them, and I got you."

"Tomorrow," she blurted.

I laughed, causing her to join me.

"I'll see what I can do. It all depends on whether we have leftovers or not."

Amryn playfully rolled her eyes and turned away from me. While she continued to cook, we talked a bit. And by the time all the food was in the oven and on the stove, she looked like she was ready to pass out. While she cooked, she wanted me to be the taste tester, and everything was good as hell. Even for her first try, she did well.

"Are you tired, baby?" I asked, biting back a smile.

She wiped at her forehead exaggeratedly. "Very, but I think I did a good job. What do you think?"

I smiled proudly. "Baby, you did amazing. I'm proud of you. You didn't need my help at all. You set your mind out to do something and did it."

I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her lips. I urged her lips apart with my tongue, shifting the kiss from persuasive to demanding and thrusting my tongue deeper into her mouth. I couldn't seem to help myself. Kissing Amryn was like a drug, and I stayed high, too.

She moaned and wrapped her arms around my neck, stepping even closer to me. I leaned her against the counter, still kissing her, getting higher. I slowly pulled my lips from hers before we took things to another level.

I gripped my hand in hers, needing to continue touching her. "Come on. Let's go watch a movie while we wait for the food to get done."

Amryn giggled, trying to get away from me, but I held her ankle. We were in the bedroom for the night after eating and watching two movies. The food was bust down good, so I had to go back for seconds. The look on her face as I showed my admiration for her meal was breathtaking. If she could cook that meal, she could cook anything else. She had no more excuses either. That would give me a chance to stay out of the kitchen and let her take over.

"Stop!" she screeched. "Nooo! You will not mess up my toes trying to polish them."

I pulled her to me, not letting her go. "You never know. I might do a good job."

Amryn scrunched her face up. "I doubt it, but since you want to help me. Sure."

My mouth watered as I eyed her pretty toes. Amryn was perfect in my eyes. As I continued to get to know her, I felt myself falling deeper in love. Love? Something I hadn't expected to feel. Now that I did, I had to find the perfect moment to tell her. She deserved for it to be told to her in a special way. With Christmas right around the corner, I had to present it like a present.

I chuckled at the way my thoughts were leading me. She eyed me strangely but didn't say anything.

"Are you ready to polish my toes? What color should I do?" She got the polish bottles from off of her pillow, holding up yellow and white.

"Damn sure, not yellow. I'm sick of that damn color."

Amryn threw her head back and giggled. "Please don't hate on my favorite color. I should make you polish it yellow just because you're hating."

I scoffed. "Bullshit."

She handed me the white nail polish. "I've never done this before, so if I mess you up, don't hold it against me."

"Oh my goshhh! Why would you volunteer to do something if you're already trying to second guess yourself?"

I paid her no mind and grasped her foot in my lap. With concentration, I painted her toes. She egged me on. Once I was done, she carefully got out of bed and started moving around the bedroom, doing little dances.

I frowned. "What the hell are you doing?"

Amryn doubled over and started laughing. "I am drying my toes by dancing around."

I shook my head. "I can't with you."

She started moving her booty and then shaking it, which gave me an erection. If she knew what I did, she had better chill the hell out.
