Again, it will make much more sense if you have read the first three episodes before you read this episode. They are under BDSM rather than Romance and are necessary to understand Tony's history.
I awakened to the delightful sight of Caroline's bed tossed locks fanned out on the pillow next to me. Just beginning the day lying in the bed was brilliant, but having the company of a beautiful woman sleeping peacefully next to me who wasn't demanding sexual service was perfection. Last night had been wonderful. I had great expectations that the day ahead was rife with delightful possibilities.
I slipped quietly out of the bed, trying not to wake Caroline. I wanted to surprise her with a nice breakfast. All necessary provisions were available to make a lovely spread. I had no idea what her preferences were, so I decided on a small buffet to set out on the marble island that was the centrepiece of the kitchen.
Scrambled eggs rested in a chafing dish, orange juice was squeezed and waiting in a carafe. Bacon was almost done in a skillet, and I had pancakes beginning to show bubbles on the skillet when I felt hands circle my waist and slide up to caress my chest.
"All that, and he cooks."
"Good morning sleepy head."
"Good morning, yourself."
"Hungry?"
"Starved."
"Me too."
"Pancakes, huh?"
"Eggs in the chafing dish, bacon on the come with the cakes. silverware and dishes to the side."
Her hands slid down, and she grabbed my cock with one hand and cupped my balls with the other.
"Thought you were hungry."
"Don't distract the chef?"
"Something like that."
"Have it your way."
She released me and headed for the food.
I flipped the pancakes and removed the bacon to drain on a paper towel. I saw her loading a plate with eggs and pouring a glass of juice.
I brought a platter of pancakes over, set them on the counter and took the stool next to her.
"Great eggs, nice and fluffy. Last night was just what the doctor ordered."
"For me too, you have no idea."
"Are you married?"
"I guess the answer's yes, but not for much longer."
"Oh?"
"I'm filing for divorce."
"Mine is pending."
"So, we're in the same boat."
"I guess so."
She took a pancake, added butter and syrup, and dug in with her fork. She ate it with gusto. I enjoyed watching, taking a chef's pride in my work.
"What happened to your marriage?"
"We were too young, didn't really know each other, he turned out to be a dick. I caught him with my best friend. How about you?"
"It's complicated, but the short strokes are, she's in Federal custody and probably headed for prison."
"You're shitting me."
"'fraid not."
"What for?"
"Treason."
"Holy shit."
She stared at me, incredulous, clearly waiting for further explication.
"It seems she sold details of a government project we've been working on to a foreign agent."
