Dread pools in the pit of my stomach, and I suddenly have the urgent need to return home to make sure Sakura is ok.
“Are we done here, Chief?”
Slowly he returns his attention to me. “Take the next two days off to recover.” I open my mouth to argue, but he waves me away. “For once in your life, Captain Ortiz, will you please do as you’re told?”
I bite back a chuckle. “Yes, sir.”
He shakes his head, clearly done with us. “You’re both dismissed. Go get some rest.”
Unlike when I left early this morning, it’s Friday night and the whole town seems to be out and about, so traffic is a bitch, and it takes me three times as long to get home.
By the time I step foot in my house, it’s after ten and everything is quiet. I make a beeline for my bedroom, and my heart sinks when I find it empty. She must’ve assumed I wouldn’t make it back and went home. Yet, I can’t extinguish all hope as I hurry through my rooms before finally wandering outside.
Pure, unadulterated relief washes over me upon seeing my little hummingbird passed out with the book I left her laying open on her chest. I remove the book, and my mouth goes dry when I find that her robe has gaped giving a clear view of her perfect and enticing breasts. The girl is blessed with the perfect petite form. Like a porcelain doll that I dread breaking but can’t stop myself from playing with.
I’m glad I took a quick shower at the station so I can climb in next to her. I don’t mean to wake her. I’m so exhausted I’m happy to sleep out here with her all night. But as soon as I draw close, her eyelids flutter open.
Her lovely lips curve up. “You’re here.”
I drag my fingers over every feature on her face before I settle them over her lips. When she opens and nibbles the tips, I return her smile. “I missed you, sweet girl.”
She snuggles closer. “I missed you, too.”
“Are you hungry?” She shakes her head, but then her grumbling belly proves her wrong. “Never lie to me.” I state firmly.
Remorse dawns. “I’m sorry. You just look so tired. Perhaps, I could make us both something to eat.”
I’m loath to let her take care of me when I so adamantly need to take care of her. But then I recall all her wonderful meals, and my own empty belly makes it known how little I’ve eaten today. Nothing but vending machine snacks and stale coffee.
“Okay, baby, but put your tits away. I don’t want you to burn them.”
She blushes the prettiest shades of red as I help her to her feet and close the lapels myself before tightening her belt.
I’m absolutely fascinated as I watch her dance around my kitchen. I don’t have much, but she manages to find the ingredients in my pantry for pasta puttanesca, and in a matter of fifteen minutes, places a big steaming bowl in front of me.
“This smells amazing.” I press a soft kiss to her cheek as she takes the stool next to me.
“Hopefully, it tastes even better.”
And it does. I can’t help but moan around my mouthful. “Deliciosa hermosa.” I smack a loud kiss against her cheek making her giggle.
“Gracious preciosa.” She adds quietly, bashfully.
“¿Tú hablas español?”
I nuzzle my nose into that sensitive spot behind her ear making her wiggle as her laughter grows in volume. I wrap my arms around her and squeeze her tight as she shouts. “Muy poca!”
“Ahh, so you know just enough to butter me up?”
The glee on her face is breathtaking. “I suppose I did want to impress you.”
“You do that every minute that I know you.”
I lean back and watch as awe grows on her perfect face. I realize this is the perfect moment to finally admit what I know in my heart.
I cup her face and lean in for a lingering kiss as I begin to whisper against her mouth. Something stops me from saying what I really want to say. Instead, I murmur, “I love how you make me feel, precious girl.”
Her eyes widen before pure radiance seems to glow from their very depths. “You do?”
