“I thought I was good at what I do.”
“You are. I could get used to this.”
She smiled. Daisy hoped he could.
They lay in bed for a few minutes. “Today is Saturday.”
“I know.”
“I don’t have to go to work.”
“That’s why you’re staying here with me,” William said.
“I am?”
“Yes, you’re my woman now, Daisy. You better not be thinking this is a quick fuck and then disappear on me,” he said.
“I wouldn’t dream of it. I’m all yours.”
He leaned over, kissing her lips. She smelt her essence on his face. The scent turned her on even more.
“First, I think we should have breakfast.”
“I agree.”
“I’ll shower first, and then you can while I make breakfast,” William said. He kissed her one last time then went in the direction of the bathroom. She lay back on the bed reliving the events of last night. Her first sexual encounter had been wonderful. She smiled as she recalled the sweet way he’d made love to her. He’d drawn everything out so that she didn’t know where she ended or he began.
He walked out of the bathro
om in a pair of sweat pants. “You’re free to go in. I’ve got some bath soaps for you to use.”
She took a shower making sure to spend the time to wash her hair. The length sometimes made it hard to deal with. Daisy smelled breakfast the moment she moved back into the bedroom. She wrapped a bathrobe around her, dried her hair, then made her way down to the kitchen. William sat at the table. A plate was in front of him, and there was a place set for her as well.
He was reading the paper as she walked into the room.
“Good morning,” he said.
She blushed. This was her first morning after. “Morning.”
William chuckled and pulled her seat out for her. “Stop worrying. Everything is going to be fine.”
“Are you sure?” she asked.
“Do I look the kind of man to lie to you?”
“No.” She sat down. William stroked her hair out of the way of her neck. He dropped a kiss to her pulse then took the seat next to her.
“I was thinking we’d go out today. I want to take you shopping.”
“Around Cape Falls?” she asked, picking up her knife and fork. He’d cooked bacon eggs and tomatoes with a couple of slices of toast.
“No, I wanted to take you into the city. Is that all right?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve got a few items I want to pick up, and I need to check out a few of my old friends.”
“I’d love to come with you.”
