When morning came and Simone’s eyes peeled themselves open, she heard muffled voices and pans banging in the kitchen as breakfast was being prepared. Heavenly smells wafted under her door, and her stomach grumbled in response. All she’d eaten the day before was the finger-food at Lilian’s party.

But as hard as Simone tried to get up, she couldn’t. Her emotions were spent, and her mind was still divided about the child. Rather than force it, she rolled over, hugged her pillow to her chest, pulled her knees up, and got lost in her thoughts.

It was a while before someone knocked on the door.

“Yes?” she asked.

“Mind if I come in?” It was Tristan.

Knowing she probably looked like hammered shit, and deciding she didn’t care one way or the other, she gave him permission and then quickly stuffed the pillow back under her head to cover the book.

He slowly opened the door and stepped over the threshold, his eyes panning around the small space as he walked toward the bed. “Breakfast is ready. Wanna come eat?” When he asked, he perched on the side of the bed and gazed at her, his blue eyes drinking her in.

A light kiss followed, leaving her wanting more yet again.

She opened her eyes after and smiled. “I do.”

But neither of them moved.

“You’re so beautiful. I can’t wait to wake up next to you every day and have your face be the first thing I see.”

His words stirred her desire again, and she giggled. “You say the sweetest things.”

All she got in response was a smile, so she shoved at him a little.

“Move, so I can get up and put some of that food in my belly.” Throwing off the covers, she hopped out of bed and threw her arms around his neck, squeezing tightly. “I’ve decided I’m going to do it. Now, we just have to figure out how to get hold of the family and convince them to let me try.”

“Really?” he asked.

“Really, really.”

He tightened his arms around her waist and swung her in a circle before putting her down and kissing her soundly. When they parted, he grinned, his eyes lit up from inside somehow. “Thank you.”

“You kids coming?” Yvette hollered down the hall.

“Be right there!” Simone scrambled to change, imagining Tristan’s eyes all over her skin as she stripped and redressed. It was exhilarating, and she hoped he didn’t notice how red she was turning. If they were going to have sex at some point, she’d have to get comfortable being naked in front of him. He was facing the wall when she turned around, and her fantasies about him checking her out went up in smoke.

They emerged, hand-in-hand, and walked closely together to the dining room.

An impressive spread was laid out on the table. Her stomach nearly turned on itself, her eyes wishing they could taste everything on the smorgasbord, and her tongue making fun because it could. Plate filled, she dug in, and ate until she felt like she was going to pop.
