Chapter 19

When they finally did get up for the morning, it was close to ten. David had decided to greet her like he had all his past fiancée’s. "Good morning, beautiful", he said then leaned in to lay a kiss on her cheek.

She smiled at him. "Well, good morning, handsome."

"How did you sleep?"

"Not bad, to be honest. When I first fell asleep, though, that sucked. I had a dream about you. You were badly injured. I think you'd gotten shot or something. It was horrible."

"So, that's what had you frightened last night. You tossed and turned there for a little bit."

"Did I say anything?" He paused. "I did talk, didn't I?"

"You're not going to like what you said."

"Did I say I loved you?" He nodded. "That's what I thought. I remember saying it in the dream, and I meant it in the dream."

"What about in the waking world?"

"Not yet. I think I'm getting there, but I couldn't say it now and mean it."

"Can you say it and act like you mean it in front of other people?"

"Yeah. I'm a good actress like that."

"Good, because I think the band bar-b-queue is tonight and it will be here."

Irian laughed. "Nice. I get to put my acting skills to use. What time can we expect everyone here?"

He rolled over and grabbed his phone. "Well, Nicole is going to be here any minute now with the stuff to change your appearance. She even grabbed some color contacts for you."

She nodded. "Can you keep her down stairs so that I can get my appearance changed without her seeing me?"

"Yeah. I can keep her downstairs. Hell, I can keep her at the door. I'll just tell her that you want to meet all of the other wives at the same time and that she'll have to wait for the bar-b-queue to see you."

"I like it. Now, since I didn't work out today, what do you say to getting some breakfast?"

"I say that I'd love to, but first..." He captured her lips with his. The arm he still had around her waist tightened, pulling her tighter against the front of his body. He craved her. He needed her. Need to possess her and not just her body.

He moved to where he was positioned between her legs, pushing against her. She moaned for him and that's when he knew he had her. He could do whatever he wanted and no one would stop him, least of all, her.

The kitchen was located on the East side of the house for a reason. That way the sun would shine in through the window in the morning while David ate his breakfast and enjoyed a cup of coffee. He usually got up and cooked for himself, or went and grabbed something quick at a fast food place. This morning, Irian insisted in cooking him breakfast. She made something she called a scramble with eggs, deer sausage, cheese, and fried potatoes. She seasoned it just a touch as it cooked, then served it.

"Tell me what you think."

He blew on the fork full that he had in his hand to cool it off, then took a bite. His eyes doubled in size as he chewed. After he swallowed. "That's good."

"It's 'Chai's favorite. I usually make it for him on weekends when he's home from school and he's being a good boy. Sundays, I spring for doughnuts, forsaking my healthy eating and my workout for my biggest vice."

"What's your biggest vice?"

"Chocolate doughnuts with sprinkles."

David laughed. "That's funny."

She shrugged.

Right as David finished the last bite of his breakfast, the door bell rang. He took a quick sip of coffee and went to answer it. Checking the peephole, he saw that it was Danny, not Nicole. He opened the door. "Hey Danny."

"Mornin'. Here that stuff she asked for. The wives are all excited me meet her. Make sure she doesn't butcher herself. We all painted a very flattering picture of her to our wives."

David nodded. "Not a problem. I'll make sure that she doesn't butcher herself or anything like that. Knowing her, she'll look amazing."

Dan looked at David. "Dude, don't tell me your falling for her."

David shrugged. "I can't tell that lie, Danny. But, at least I know that I'm not falling alone."

Dan's eyes widened. "NO. She's falling for you too? You've only known each other for two days and you're falling in love? Remind me NOT to tell the guys. Have you two had sex yet?" David laughed. "I'll take that as a 'yes'.... How many times?" David shrugged. "Oh, David. Really? When was the first time?"

David pointed to the door. "None of your business. My house. Now go and I'll see you this evening."
