Rose wakes to the smell of fresh coffee.
She picks her head up off the pillow, memories of last night returning. Patrick. Sex. More sex. Offering to make breakfast. Asking how she likes her eggs.
Now hot coffee and breakfast await.
A girl could get used to this.
Rose uses the bathroom. She washes her face and inspects her reflection. She's a natural beauty, even without make-up. Less glamorous, but still pretty.
Her hair's a nightmare, though. She ties it into a ponytail and checks herself out.
Damn
. Pajama pants do showcase her ample ass and thighs, don't they?
Rose finds Patrick in the kitchen already dressed and at the stove. He smiles up when she walks in. "There you are."
"Hey." A quick kiss and Rose pours herself a cup of coffee and sits at the island. "Did I hear the shower running?"
"I used the one down the hall. I didn't mean to wake you."
"It's fine," she says. "I went right back to sleep."
"I'll get started on your eggs."
Rose savors the aroma of coffee. "Yes, please."
She watches Patrick's back as he cooks. Rose's ex never made her breakfast. He never fucked the shit of her like Patrick had, either. Multiple times. Post-married life isn't so bad, is it?
Rose blows on her coffee and attempts a sip. It's still too hot.
It was an incredible evening, wasn't it? They'd even managed to fuck one last time before bed.
They were settling into bed around midnight and started kissing. It led to Patrick eating her pussy--another orgasm for Rose!--then vigorous missionary sex.
Rose enjoys the position but rarely cums from it. No big deal. Patrick had gotten her off plenty. So she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed his neck as he pounded away at her big girl body.
No wonder Rose woke up hungry, happy to dive into her breakfast. Scrambled eggs, toast, and strawberries. The eggs dusted with cayenne.
Follows directions. Good boy.
Patrick sits across from her as they eat. "I like your hair in a ponytail."
"Yeah?"
"It shows off the shape of your neck. You're beautiful first thing in the morning, do you know that?"
I do now
. "Aw, shucks."
"I went for a nice run this morning," Patrick says. "I left you a note in case you were up early and didn't know where I was."
"Me, up early?" Rose says. "Unless I have to be? No danger there."
"Not a morning person?"
"Not particularly. How was your run?"
"Fantastic." Patrick takes a sip of coffee. "I ran on the path around the corner, the one along the bay. Two miles on the way out. Then I hit the fitness trail stations on the run back."
"Those random exercise things?" Rose says. "I do that walk a few times a week but I don't know if I've ever seen anyone using them."
"I loved it," he says. "I like physical activity."
Rose raises an eyebrow. "Don't I know it."
"Don't you, indeed." He leans forward and kisses her. "You say stuff like that in that tone of voice of yours, and it makes it hard to deny you anything you want."
Kinda the point
. "And why would you want to do a silly thing like deny me something I want?"
"I wouldn't," he says. "I'd like nothing more than to spend all day catering to your every whim."
"Me, too. Start by vacuuming the place and then eating my pussy."
"Alas," he says. "A full slate of lessons await. I should check the forecast."
Rose sips her coffee as he opens the weather app on his phone. "How's it look?"
"All clear." He puts the phone down. "So...Rose."
"Yes?"
"I don't play games. I believe in being upfront."
Rose feigns distress. "Does this mean you never want to see me again?"
"What? No."
This is too easy
. "Teasing."
He shakes his head, pretending distress. "Of course."
"When are you going to get the hang of this?" she says.
"Likely never. Evil woman."
Rose eats a bite of strawberry. "Yup."
"What I was going to say is I'd like to see you again soon," Patrick says. "But now I'm not so sure."
She laughs. "Yeah, nice try."
"Fine. You win."
Was it ever in doubt?
"Of course I do."
"As I was about to say before you decided to torture me--"
"Torture you?"
"--was I've a dinner tonight but I'm free next weekend. How about I take you up in my plane? I know a great place for lunch we can fly to."
"Fly to lunch? Sounds like quite the adventure."
"Is that a yes?" he says.
Like I'm going to say no to that
. "It is, but not next weekend. I've got my daughter. But the following weekend, sure."
"It's a date, then."
They finish breakfast and Rose walks Patrick to the door. He gives her a long kiss goodbye. Rose stands on her porch as his car backs out.
Mrs. Driscoll is across the street at the bottom of her driveway, dog on leash. They acknowledge each other with a curt wave. Rose sips her coffee and closes her door.
Always watching me, that one.
What to do with the rest of the morning? Rose has nothing which needs doing except getting ready for Eric this afternoon.
Rose feels a pang of guilt. She's sending Patrick off after their night of passion only to await Eric.
She shakes the feeling off. Going on a pair of dates--the first one a lunch date, at that-- doesn't imply a commitment to anything let alone exclusivity.
Besides, for all she knows the dinner he spoke of was with a woman. He was vague about it, wasn't he? Deliberately so.
A dinner
.
Yeah, he's going for the same kind of banner weekend as Rose. She'd bet money on it.
Good for him.
***
Rose puts on a pot of herbal tea. She lights a peppermint scented candle and places it on the island in the kitchen. She checks the time. Eric will be here any minute.
She asks her smart speaker to play random light classic rock. Alexa selects Steely Dan.
Rose checks the first floor, straightening pillows and putting away clutter. She hears a car door outside and glances at the clock.
Right on time.
Rose does a quick check in the mirror by the front door. She's wearing a bright green shoulderless dress with a floral print. It hugs her hips and shows off her H-cup tits, too.
Looking good.
She glances out the window by the front door. Eric's car is in the driveway behind her Outback.
Rose drinks in the sight of him. He's in his early thirties but his baby face, blue eyes, and blonde hair make him appear younger. He's wearing jeans and a dark gray v-neck sweater.
Eric's Swedish descent shows. Not just the light features, but also his broad shoulders and tall height. He's clean-shaven and wears his hair short. Otherwise, he would've looked at home a thousand years ago roaming the coastlines of Europe in his longship bedding stout Viking women.
Or large, lovely Italian ladies like herself.
Even better.
