Chapter Twenty-Two

Joe

At some point during the night, Kennedy claimed half the bed and all the pillows, stretching out like a queen staking claim on a new territory. Thanks to her invasion, I found myself awake at five o’clock in the morning. Her chest rose and fell and her sex kitten hair fanned out around her in a copper cloud.

I stared like a peasant in the presence of royalty. Rapt. Overcome. Amazed that someone like her existed in the same world I did. Knowing she had to work, I slipped out of bed, pulled on my jeans, and ambled into the kitchenette to start a pot of coffee.

Last night, I called Kennedy’s hair my new obsession.

What a fool I’d been to think things would stop there.

Her body, the sounds she made when I was inside her, the way she looked at me when she came…

After just one hit, I was an addict. I’d never recover.

As the aroma of coffee tickled my sleep-fogged brain, an idea popped into existence. What Kennedy needed after a night of sexing was a delicious breakfast to fuel her body for work, so she’d be ready for more sexing when she got home. I congratulated myself on a fucking solid plan and got to work.

Carefully, quietly, I pulled out a pan and tossed in some bacon, sipping on coffee as it sizzled away. The scent brought up a sliver of a memory from when I was five, maybe six. My foster mom at the time was wonderful. A beautiful woman whose caring heart had room for the entire world. She cooked three meals a day for me. Supported me as I worked through the baggage left by my bio-mom. My poor, unsuspecting soul let down its guard, deemed her Perfect Mom, and then boom. She and her husband decided they didn’t have the energy to be the kind of parents they wanted to be. No adoption for me. Back into the system I went.

I drowned those bittersweet memories with a searing swig of coffee and pulled a carton of eggs out of the fridge. The rustle of skin on sheets sounded behind me and I straightened to find Kennedy blinking awake. Clutching the comforter to her chest, she pressed up on her elbow and rewarded me with a smile.

“Morning, your majesty.” I set the eggs down and leaned on the counter, drinking her in.

“Morning yourself.” Her hair fell over her shoulder as she swung her legs off the bed and pulled on some clothes. “What’re you doing?”

I placed a hand over my heart. “I am making a solid breakfast to reward you for the pleasure you provided last night, in the hopes that you will be interested in continued pleasure this evening.”

She frowned. “But Joe. I’m a vegetarian. And a doctor. I took an oath to do no harm and I take that very seriously. I can’t eat that.”

Silly, lust-struck me took the bait hook, line, and sinker. I stared at the sizzling meat in the pan and stammered an apology as she laughed.
