around. This was fancier than even the place I worked -and that was Michelin rated. The other guests looked decades older than us.
“What is all this?” I asked.
Sean leaned in and grasped my hands. “It’s an apology.”
“Apology?” I shook my head. “I don’t get it.”
“I’ve been neglecting you, taking you for granted. It’s as if you’re less important to me than fighting.”
“Oh, honey.” I stroked his palms. “That’s sweet, but I know what fighting means to you. I’m not upset.”
“First of all - bullshit.” He cracked a grin. “But that’s fine. It’s fine. You have every right to be upset. I’m not treating you like you deserve.”
“Yeah, but Sean, I don’t need all this.” I waved an arm around the dark, lavish interior. “I don’t need you to throw money at me.”
“No, you don’t. You’d be fine even if I took you to a Hooters to eat wings. That’s what I love about you.”
“Well, I don’t know about…”
Sean shushed me. “Kidding. I’m just saying you’re real. You do what’s right for you, not just what looks good.”
I flashed my eyes at him. “Sometimes, those turn out to be exactly the same.”
Sean laughed. “See. Now how could I ever rank the company of that mouth below anything else that I’d want in life? I should never have let what happened in the ring affect us. And I won’t again. No matter what happens tomorrow, you’ll have me.”
He let go of my hands. “As long as you want me.”
The tables were round, barely the size of a nightstand. We’d be getting served in teacups. To be honest, I generally hated places like this that forgot the purpose of food was to be fed. But right now, I was grateful for how small everything was here.
All I had to do to was tip forward on my chair to land a magenta kiss on Sean’s lips.
“I want you,” I said. “This mouth plans on keeping you company for a long, long time.”
We nuzzled together.
The promise of that moment lingered and kept us full, even through idle chit chat about the day. Through mouse sized portions of roast lamb and fish sized portions of desert. Through a bill that could feed a decent sized city in China.
As we stumbled out into the lit streets, Sean said, “You never want to go to a place like that again, right?”
“Definitely not.”
He hugged me tighter, and nuzzled the top of my head. “Girl, you’re amazing.”
I whispered in his ear: “Let me give you a reminder.”
We took a cab back to his place, waited through an eternally ascending elevator and finally tumbled through his doors.
I flicked off Sean’s jacket and whipped out his belt. His pants melted to the floor. There was so much still on him, so much I wanted to reveal, but he didn’t give me the chance.
He cradled my chin and crushed me with a kiss that took my breath away. The apartment was still and silent around us. I could hear the wet sounds of his tongue as it invaded me. He gathered me closer by the small of my back, but his attention quickly ventured south to my round little butt.
I gasped as he squeezed my flesh. He was testing the fruit to see if it was ripe.
I was. My juices were flowing hard.
He was ready too. His hardness had broken right through the flaps of his boxers. I clutched his member. The touch broke our kiss as if I’d ordered it. His head fell on my shoulder. The satisfied groan he put through my ear almost made me buckle.
I was so freaking wet and ready for him. Our whole night was meant to get to here.
But he had treated me so well. I should be good back.
“There’s a lot of ways my mouth can keep you company,” I said, sinking to my knees. “Let me know which one you prefer.”
I opened wide and took him in whole.
“This one, baby” he said. “Holy god, this one.”
“Mmm hmm.”
I bobbed gently. He barely fit, but dinner had left me hungry. I grabbed him by the back of his shirt and pulled myself deep over him.
His body went between stiff and shaky
