"Yes," I whisper into her ear as she sets the pods in the machine. The machine whirs gently in the background, and the aroma seeps throughout the kitchen.

This is what I always wanted my life to look like. Having a beautiful woman in my home, happy kitchen banter, and being able to laugh every now and then.

As I look around the room at all its beauty, I'm reminded of the days of hard work that finally paid off. I couldn't be more grateful that I was able to share this with her.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when she says, "And who says I'd want you around?"

"Well, looking at all those tears you've shed over me ..." I tease as she playfully flicks a kitchen cloth on her shoulder.

“Keep dreaming,” she scoffs, putting me back in my place.

I like how close she is to me. I can smell her familiarness - lavender, coffee, and vanilla-scented body lotion. "All I've been dreaming about recently," I say, pulling her face close to mine until our noses touch, "is this." I put my lips to hers, and we're so close that I can hear every whimper in her breath. Her lips are butter soft and taste like strawberries. Tonight, I don't want to fuck her; I want to cherish her. It's been so long - I want to make love to her.

I slowly begin to draw her closer until I can feel her body pressed against mine. As I wrap my arms around her softly, she delicately places hers around my neck and kisses me with more fervor. The way she moves her mouth against mine - the fusion of our tongues - it's as if we are dancing a beautiful waltz together.

My hands slide through her hair, fingers intertwining themselves in the soft auburn locks that spill down her shoulders. I'm overwhelmed with emotion when I realize how much this moment means to both of us. She pulls away from me ever so slightly - just enough for me to look into those glistening eyes of hers - before gently pressing her forehead against mine. We stay like this for what seems like an eternity, everything else falling away except for the two of us in this single moment of beauty, intimacy, and passion.

"Can we go to my bedroom?" I ask softly, interlocking my fingers through hers.

"Mm-hmm," she whispers. "What about your coffee?"

"What coffee?" I ask, picking her up in my arms and carrying her to the room. I tread carefully past Emily’s room, so as not to wake her.

Gently, I lay her down on the bed and move to hover over her. I brush my hands through her hair and look into her eyes. "Do you know how much I love you?" I whisper as I tenderly unbutton each shirt button.

She smiles up at me, something intense flickering in those beautiful eyes of hers. Taking care not to rush, I push the fabric off her shoulders until it has completely been removed from her body, revealing a vision that she'd kept hidden from me for too long. I trail slow kisses across her collarbone and up over her neck before finally meeting my gaze with hers again.

I give her a slow kiss and she sighs intently, before sitting up and unbuttoning my own shirt. While I do so, she props herself on her elbows and removes her shorts, lying there in just her underwear and bra.

And she looks like a goddess.

I can't help but stare at her with adoration and lust as she leans forward towards me. She presses her lips against mine and begins to explore my mouth with her tongue, sending shivers down my spine. My hands roam over her soft curves as we kiss, making my desire for her grow stronger with each passing second.

She breaks away for a moment, her eyes filled with a raw hunger as she reaches behind her back to unclasp her bra. I watch as it falls to the ground, revealing her breasts to me.

I stare at her - taking in the nape of her neck, the curves of her breasts, and the softness of her belly button. I stare a little too long because she blushes, crossing her arms over them as if to cover up, but I swiftly move her hands away and stare at her again. "Were you always this perfect?" I whisper against her lips, before leaning in and kissing the base of her throat.

My hands slide around to cup her breasts as she gasps softly, my thumbs brushing over the most sensitive parts of them. She trembles beneath me as I continue exploring with my mouth, paying special attention to every inch of her body. We kiss each other tenderly while my hand slides down her lower abdomen and underneath the material of her panties, searching for an invitation. She guides my hand, and in response, I remove her underwear.

I sit up to capture one of her nipples in my mouth, swirling my tongue around it gently before taking it between my teeth.

"Mmm ... oh, yes," she moans, arching her back. "I missed this." The sound sends a jolt of electricity through me, and I trail kisses down her stomach.

She lies before me completely naked, and I can't help but marvel at her beauty. I kiss my way up her thighs until I reach her center. I lick her slowly, tasting her sweetness as she moans and writhes beneath me.

"Oh, Adrian," she gasps, her fingers tangled in my hair.

I flick my tongue around her clitoris, her hips arching as I do so. My finger slides in slowly and she gasps, pushing herself further against me. I move my finger around, feeling her tightness as she squirms with pleasure in response to my touch. She moans louder, begging for more - for something harder and deeper.

At this point I start to tease her a little, licking the outside of her before returning to the inside, making her squirm with pleasure as I do so. Knowing that she can't take much more of this teasing torture, I insert two fingers and start moving them in and out of her while continuing to lap up every ounce of pleasure that pours out of her body - until finally she screams my name in ecstasy as wave after wave of bliss courses through her body.

As she catches her breath and relaxes into the bed beneath me, all I can think is how amazing it feels to make this woman feel such intense pleasure.

She's dripping wet. I wait for her to catch her breath and ask her, "Olivia, are you tired?"

"No," she says, gently placing her fingers through my hair. "I could go all night."

That's all the invitation I need. I place a finger in her and continue rotating it, feeling her open wider and wider, her pussy welcoming me with every twitch of her muscles. I reach for my coat pocket and pull out a condom and place it on.
