but that’s different.” She laughed and started getting back to preparing dinner. “It’s not a competition, Zayden. We will but anyone could just walk right in here and I don’t want to overcook dinner because I got distracted.” I sighed and stepped up behind her. “All right.” I kissed her cheek and more lightly on her neck, making her groan with the wanting I longed to hear. “If that’s what you really want.” “Don’t make this hard on me. I’ve already started making everything. I couldn’t stop it all for that.” “But I could make it quick.” She turned around and my eyes were black. Surely she knew exactly what it meant. My senses are more sensitive in this state and when we’re together, it makes hers just as sensitive. She was getting a smile on her face and I knew she really did want to. “Really quick but—” She walked to the side door and opened it. “Rift, why don’t you go out and play?” I looked down at him and laughed. It amused me how she hated even him watching but I went with it. “For a few minutes.” He didn’t take it too hard. In fact, he really seemed like he wanted to and ran right out. Adele smiled while she closed the door and came back over. I wasn’t going to waste a second of this or have her change her mind again and rushed into her lips. She didn’t seem to want to stop it and I turned her around to the other counter away from the fires of cooking and slid my hands up the side slits of her long skirt. Her skin was just how I remembered on my fingertips but I soon realized that she conveniently wasn’t wearing anything underneath it. I backed away with a look of almost surprise. “I had a feeling you’d be home today.” She planned this. It only made it more perfect and she pressed her lips back into mine. I missed her enthusiasm and she wrapped her arms around my neck while I spread her legs apart with one hand and undid the front of my pants with the other. I couldn’t take not being with her and reunited our bodies after having days apart and even weeks before that. The feeling immediately hit me. Adele was trying to keep her volume down while I pressed my hips into hers though I knew she wished she didn’t have to. It’s been just as long for her. I missed it. It was such a powerful sensation with the extra sensitivity. She backed off me and leaned herself back on the counter. My hands were on her hips and I was pulling her into me as she kept her balance. My speed was hastening and so was the feeling. Adele looked up at me with black eyes of her own and she leaned back up to kiss me just at the most perfect ending. I haven’t realized how long I’ve been waiting for that until it finally happened and we were both glad of it. She fell backwards on the counter and closed her eyes like she was ready to sleep. “Too good?” “I just have to get back into the routine but now I want to sleep.” “No. Now you need to finish dinner or no one will eat.” She sighed as she hopped down off the counter and stood next to me, putting her hand on my chest. “I will. Just don’t tell anyone about this.” I laughed. “They’re not going to be surprised that we had sex.” “It’s the place really, Zayden and we’re married. You won’t need to brag about it.” “Sure I do. They can’t get sex like that.” “Hate to be rude but get out.” I laughed again and kissed her on the head as she turned. “Okay. Love you.” She put up her hand to wave to me as she had her back turned and I walked to the side door to let Rift back in. I didn’t know where he was. I actually had to whistle to get him to show himself but he was just as happy to come in as he was to go out. “Out of here.” I said. “She’s making dinner.” We left Adele to it but at least now we were both in a better mood. She was able to get dinner finished quickly and we ate together that night for the first time in days, setting another place at the
