I love to cook, and this is something I've been wanting to do for Victoria for a while, especially with her crazy hours lately. I'm in the kitchen throwing together some fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken, along with fresh spinach sautéed in lemon butter and garlic. And yes, I made the alfredo sauce from scratch.

I've honestly never brought a woman to my place...well except for Katya but I want to do this with Victoria. And if I'm honest with myself, I've wanted her over for a while now, but I didn't want her to think I was moving too fast. She has me wanting to let her into every piece of my life and I swear I'm trying to do everything possible to make us work. Every now and then, my brain says that I'm not quite enough for her but the more time we spend with each other, the more that feeling dissipates.

The door buzzer goes off, telling me she's here. My loft has a private elevator, so I meet her at the door and Victoria is standing there with a tired smile, wearing some jeans, a purple sweater, and some sneakers. At the sight of her, my heart speeds up. No makeup Victoria is my favorite Victoria.

"Hi Solomon," she says as she steps towards me.

"Oh my gorgeous Victoria, how I have missed you."

I pull her into me and sigh. My arms have missed having her in them and my lips have missed tasting hers. I try to show some restraint but I'm not sure how much I have. It's been a long time and my dick knows this, but I refuse to let him be in charge. Besides she looks so exhausted, I at least want to feed her, so I move in for a slow passionate kiss to her soft lips. I bring her lips to mine, sweeping my tongue inside to connect with hers. A soft moan comes from her, and I realize that I definitely need to slow down, so I pull away, leaning my forehead against hers.

She sighs and tries to get us back on track. "Something sure smells good in here and I'm starving."

Oh she has no idea how much I'm starving but it sure as hell isn't for food. We walk towards the dining area where I have the table set up with candles and wine.

"Oh Solomon this looks fantastic." Her excitement is contagious.

"And after you eat, I'm going to run a warm bath for you, so you can relax and decompress from your stressful few weeks."

A sweet and gentle smile plays across her lips, she shakes her head and softly says to me, "You are the sweetest Solomon."

I clean up while she has quiet down time in the tub. The bathroom is filled with soft music, candles and bubbles in my tub that's large enough for two. I thought of joining her, but I really want her to have this moment on her own. We will have plenty of time to play in there together, just not today. 

Once the kitchen is back to normal, I head to the bedroom, waiting for her. Victoria comes out of the bathroom wearing the t-shirt that I put out for her, and my dick is on high alert. He's excited that she's headed to our bed too. All I see is a super sexy woman standing before me, in what is now undeniably one of my favorite shirts, and my mind is going bananas with the visuals of what's underneath.

She walks to where I'm seated at the end of the bed, placing her hands on either side of my face and leaning in for a kiss. My hands reach for her legs, and slide up to her ass, which to my extreme pleasure, is completely uncovered.

"Thank you for this Solomon...for this night. It has been the epitome of romance and relaxation."

My response comes out husky, as I smile against her lips. "Anything for you Tori...and I do mean anything."

Taking her by the hand, I lead her to bed. As much as I want to bury myself deep within her, I resist because I know she is exhausted. I strip down to my boxer briefs, turn out the light and climb in with her. Silence fills the room, as no words are needed at the moment. We fall into dreamland, wrapped up in each other.
