You awake in bed to the smell of freshly brewed coffee alongside bacon and--is that potatoes? The faint tendrils of consciousness still creep their way into your mind. You roll over onto your back and open your eyes. You wish he were here holding you like he did last night. Your pussy warms and throbs just thinking about him--
Him--Grayson, shit, where did he go? You bolt upright and look around as a kind of frenzied panic jolts you. The sheets are pulled away from where he used to be lying. There's a sizzling sound in the distance. In the dim light of the room, you peer out through the doorway. It's undeniable. A high pitched crackling.
"Grayson? Are you..." you say, pulling off the sheets. The breeze that affronts you is cold and clammy against your skin, and all you want is to sink right back into that cocoon of the comforter, but...
(he didn't leave, did he? I'm not all alone, am I? oh god, oh god, did he?)
You get up and walk into the kitchen, shivering.
"Hey, babe, you're finally up?" he says, laughing, back still turned to you, tending to the stove, "Thought it'd be at least another half hour."
Relief washes over you. He just keeps standing there, tending to the pan.
"You're... making breakfast?," you say, melting. Something made you think he'd have left. Something about it was too good to be true, for sure. But no, you were wrong. You were always wrong. He really does love you? Maybe? Just maybe?
You saunter up to him, sliding your arms around his waist and clutching his body from behind. You nestle your chin over his shoulder and hold him close. The heat of your bodies compiles and grows and gives you an immense sense of comfort and grounding in the moment.
"That's so sweet of you..." you coo into his ear, clutching even tighter, flexing your calves to get up and peck him on the cheek. You just want to be close with him. He's taller than you, larger, more powerful, and the whole masculine, commanding energy of his presence is something you can never resist. You just want to feel it, bathe in it, be commanded by it, allow yourself to let go and submit and be led and swim freely in the safety of his embrace--
"Of course," he says, tossing the pan in a sautée motion, seemingly fixated on the task. "I wanted today to be special, you know? I, uh..." he clears his throat and adjusts his posture. You can feel the trepidatious shift from him, it's uncharacteristic, and something about it makes you want to nurture and comfort him even more, "Anyways, there's coffee in the pot and pastries on the table."
Your bones melt to jelly. You weren't wrong. He really does care about you. He continues to toss the food, not looking back at you, as if that were some kind of cover for the obvious stutter. But you don't care. You can't help smiling, it's glued to your face as you kiss him again on the cheek.
Is this what heaven looks like? The two of you like this? He'd be a good father.
(have his baby)
"I love it. Thanks, babe."
You're glowing as you walk over to the coffee pot and pour a ceramic mug to the brim. The scents in the air provoke the hunger that's been building in you ever since last night when you pretended you weren't that hungry and only barely nibbled your dinner. But it's okay, he's shown his true colors. You can be yourself. He's the one, and you know it. He'll know it soon enough, too, even if he can't see it right now. You'll make him see it. You belong together, now and forever.
