I could see that Daniel was still worried about the whole situation, so I wanted to try to put his mind to rest. I got up from my seat and held out my hand. As he took it, I pulled him up from the sofa and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“Come with me.”
I gently led him out of the front room and to the door of the apartment. Taking the security chain in my hand, I placed it across the door opening and secured it in place to the door.
“There. Now not only can we see if anyone is outside, but they also won’t be able to break the door down very easily. Does that help?”
I saw a smile come over his face before he replied. “I know, I’m being silly. But the guy really shook me up earlier. You must think I’m a real wimp.”
I placed my hands on either side of his face and pressed my lips against his. As I pulled slightly away, I left my hands in place and looked directly into his eyes.
“I don’t think you are silly or a wimp. I just see a gorgeous man standing in front of me, who I have fallen in love with and want to spend the rest of my life with. Now, what’s for dinner?”
He started to laugh at my bluntness. I was very much like Tyler and always thought about food. I guessed that was one of the reasons we got on so well. I just didn’t vocalise it quite as much as he did. I had been looking forward to our meal all day, and I couldn’t wait a moment longer for it, even if I had to help cook myself.
“You can give me a hand. And if you are a very good boy and eat all your dinner, I have something very special for dessert.”
He pressed a kiss on my cheek before he turned and walked into the kitchen, leaving me standing there blushing like a schoolgirl.
Me helping Daniel cook dinner turned into a full-blown cookery lesson. I knew all the basics from my mum and could get by, but attempting something like Daniel was cooking was way out of my abilities. Even when Daniel had said it was a relatively simple dish to cook, it sounded extremely complicated as he went through each step. I got the feeling he just wanted to get me chopping everything up so he could stand behind me and correct me all the time. He got close and took my hands in his to show me how to cut properly, whilst pressing himself against me. There were several times I thought about sayingfuck dinnerand dragging him off to bed. But I knew that this was important to him and that he would say I still wasn’t ready, that we had to take things slowly. I knew he was right, but it didn’t make things any easier when he was so close to me and I wanted to be with him so much.
We were now sitting down to enjoy the sumptuous Italian meal that we had prepared together. Daniel had kept his cards very much to his chest when it came to dessert. I could hazard a guess as to what it would be when he said we were eating Italian, and I wasn’t disappointed when he went to the fridge and retrieved the tiramisu that he had bought. He grabbed two spoons from the side and placed the dish in front of me, taking a seat next to me.
“You know there is only one way of eating this, don’t you, Romeo?”
A slight smirk came over his face as he got a spoonful of the tiramisu and brought it up to my lips. I opened my mouth, and he carefully placed the spoon inside. I took the dessert from the spoon and was immediately hit with the coffee kick of the soaked sponge, followed by the creamy texture of the mascarpone mixture on top. I couldn’t hold back the moan of delight as the flavours mixed in my mouth. All the time, I never broke eye contact with Daniel.
I saw him take a gulp as he watched me enjoying the delicious dessert he had bought. I wanted that feeling, the one I could see on his face now.
I picked up my spoon. “My turn.”
I scooped a small amount of the creamy dessert onto my spoon and brought it slowly up to Daniel’s lips. I watched as he nervously swallowed whilst licking his lips. It was the first time I had ever seen Daniel show any signs of nerves when he was with me.
The power I felt at this moment was immense. The fact that I could elicit those feelings from him gave me more confidence every day. He opened his mouth, and I placed the spoon inside, allowing him to take the dessert from it. Hearing him moan at the taste immediately went to my cock, which was already hardening from the moment together. Unlike me, Daniel couldn’t keep his eyes open as he savoured the tiramisu in his mouth. I watched as he slowly ate the dessert in front of me. I had to admit that he was right; there was only one way of eating this gorgeous dessert, and it was most definitely like this.
As Daniel swallowed, he opened his eyes and found mine almost instantly. The look of pure adoration in them was too much for me to bear. I had to taste him again, right here and now. I placed the spoon down on the table and slowly moved toward Daniel. I pressed my lips against his, and immediately, he opened his mouth, allowing me access to deepen my kiss. As our tongues danced and duelled against each other, I felt Daniel glide his hands up my back, resting one there and the other behind my neck as he pulled me closer to further deepen the kiss.
I was completely lost in the moment and the sensations that were running through me. This wasn’t just a kiss. It almost felt as though our souls were connecting. I was sure that when we slept together, it would be explosive, and I was starting to understand why Daniel was taking things so slowly. The feelings I had right now were starting to overwhelm me, and that was without finally connecting our bodies as only two people in love could do.
I pulled away from the kiss, needing to catch my breath. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my breathing was heavy and erratic. I looked at Daniel, who was the same.
“You’re right. There is only one way to eat tiramisu, and that is most definitely it.”
He started to chuckle as he pulled me to him and kissed me on the cheek. “Let’s save this for tomorrow and go to bed, find a film to watch, and snuggle up together.”
I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to finish the evening.
“As long as we can finish this gorgeous bottle of wine while we’re at it, I’m all yours.”
And that was exactly what we did until we both lay there and fell asleep in each other's arms for the second night in a row.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Kevin
Iwas ecstatic with how everything was going so far. I knew that Daniel had spent hours in the police station on the day of the murder because my contact had followed him from the hotel where he had been staying in London. Daniel had also conveniently led him to his new boyfriend’s place, and so had given us all the ammunition to use against him.
I was sure that by now the police would have found Katherine’s new will that Ryan had created. I had left it in one of the first places I suspected them of looking. That would give me Daniel’s house and any shares he owned in his father’s business. I had already emptied their joint bank account, leaving Daniel with nothing, but I wanted more. I wanted to ruin both the Coopers and the Phillips businesses for what they had done to me.
