"Keep me posted." I wanted to know if he found anything because without Vanessa around, I was going to be stuck working very long hours.
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Three Days Later

With everything going on, I felt like Valerie and I needed to do something to take our minds off things. That was why I had Nolen do a little grocery shopping for me while I was helping Valerie at the store today. I wanted to surprise her, but there was no way I could leave her alone.
Vanessa was still out of town but Nolen found no evidence that her place was broken into and everything seemed to be as she left it. She had texted this morning that she would be back to work tomorrow.
"What do we have here?" Valerie asked as she walked into the kitchen to find all the ingredients laid out on the kitchen island.
"I thought it was about time I shared my lasagna recipe with you."
Her eyes lit up at the mention of her favorite food. "Seriously? What happened to it being top secret?"
I smiled at her reference to one of the letters I sent her while I was deployed. "I think you’ve earned the right to know the secret."
"Is that so?" She sauntered up to me and wrapped her arms around my waist. I still couldn't believe we were at this point in our lives where we could touch each other without me having to hide how it made me feel. "It was my awesome skills in bed that helped me earn it, wasn't it?"
I threw my head back and laughed hard. When I finally caught my breath, I gazed down at her and answered, "Something like that."
Truth be told, as a young man I never planned to tell her because it meant she had a need for me and that was all I ever wanted. A reason to stay in her life forever. With her now wearing my ring on her finger, I was confident she was never going anywhere.
"So let's start with the sauce."
"Wait," Valerie stopped me. "Are you telling me you make the sauce from scratch?" I chuckled at her shock. "No wonder I could never make it taste as good as yours. I was using jarred sauce the whole time."
"Oh, sweetheart. You have so much to learn."
I spent time carefully explaining each step of the process as Valerie jumped right in with enthusiasm. I had always loved to cook but found it to be a much more pleasant experience as I did it with her. Especially considering each time she leaned across me, I felt her boobs press into my arm. And the way she would casually run her fingers across my lower back, or some other part of my body, didn’t hurt either.
By the time the lasagna was prepped in the pan, I couldn't take it anymore. I put the pan in the oven and turned back to Valerie with hunger in my eyes. Only it wasn't for food. Therewas something extremely sexy about preparing dinner with her that had me as hard as a rock.
"How do you suppose we pass the time while it bakes?" Valerie teased.
"Oh, I knowexactlyhow we’ll pass the time." I marched straight up to her and placed my hands under the globes of her ass. In one motion, I lifted her up until her legs wrapped around my middle. Carrying her to the table, I set her down on the edge. "I'm going to have my dessert while I wait for my meal."
Using the palm of my hand, I gently pushed her until her back rested on the kitchen table and her hands reached out above her head.
"You might want to hang on," I suggested.
Valerie did as she was told and gripped the edges until her knuckles were white.
With both of my pointer fingers, I slipped into her shorts and shimmied them off her hips. Before I could suggest that she lift her hips for me, Valerie lifted her legs and planted her feet on the table effectively lifting her ass up and giving me an unobstructed access to strip her of her shorts and panties.
I tossed the garments to the floor and settled so my shoulders spread her thighs as wide as they would go.
Sitting right there in front of me glistening was the most beautiful pussy I had ever seen that I wasted no time tasting her juices.
One taste was all it took and I was addicted.
I licked.
I sucked.
I fucking feasted.
