say that.”
“Peace?”
Belle smiled a little. The tears had really helped her release many emotions and doubts she had been holding up inside.
“Peace,” she said.
The sun had set outside so Dennis put his muscular arm over Belle’s small frame. He couldn’t enter the duvet because he was wet. He watched her until she closed her eyes and appeared asleep. However, hours in the night, Dennis and Belle were on different sides of the bed with a large divide between them.
For the first time since they’d been together, Belle and Dennis had not made love before going to bed. Each with their backs turned to the other, they stared blankly in the dark. They were both so near yet so far away.
Chapter Five
The morning brought good tidings. Belle Winters roused to the scent of fresh coffee. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw Dennis busy spreading petals from a rose flower onto the breakfast tray. He was only wearing tight nude briefs and so she took the moment to study his robust bottoms. When he turned, she quickly feigned to be asleep.
Soft kisses on her eyelids made her pretend to just awaken. She was pleased to see Dennis’s face. He looked well rested and was certainly in a good mood. That made her feel better. She was glad to start afresh.
“Morning darling.” He kissed her full on the lips. He started to poke his tongue into her mouth when she withdrew from him.
“Morning breath. Morning breath.” She jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
“I don’t mind!” He shouted after her.
Belle quickly brushed her teeth with a new toothbrush, rinsed her mouth and then took a pee. Afterwards, she stripped off her clothes then took a refreshing morning shower after which she returned to Dennis, clad in a white bathrobe and feeling fresh.
“I ordered this full English breakfast for you and then you take your time.”
“Hardly.” She positioned herself and sat on the bed across him with only the tray separating them. “I’m famished. Thank you.”
He extended his hand and genially touched her chin. Dennis smiled. It was clear that he did not feel good about what had happened the previous day but he was ready to put it behind them.
“I didn’t mean to upset you yesterday. Or even bring you here,” he said, sincerely.
“It’s okay.”
“It’s not. It was just the nearer point from where we were. I didn’t want us on the road with an angry cop behind us. We had to make a safe detour.”
Belle nodded. She poured them the coffee. “Does this mean the trip is over?” She went on to butter both their buns so that he couldn’t witness the disappointment in her eyes.
“Aren’t you tired? I mean, I’m used to having a chauffeur.”
“I could drive.”
“You’re not my chauffeur. Now eat.” He broke bread and forced one into her mouth.
She giggled. “I’m not a baby, don’t feed me.”
He raised his hands in surrender and settled to watching her eat, like a predator waiting on his prey. She noticed and shyly kept her gaze on the breakfast. She was too famished to play staring games with him.
Belle may have been hungry for food but Dennis was famished for something else. He was starving for her, so much that he felt his briefs were a prison. But he had to be patient. She had to eat. However, the moment she started nitpicking at her food, he flipped the tray out of the way. She squealed a little as it landed with a crush. He had no time to verbalize his needs. Grabbing Belle towards him, he licked her face with his long tongue. She shuddered. It was clear she was hungry for him too.
“I missed you,” he said, his hot breath on her neck.
“Show me!”
Belle ripped the bathrobe off of her, revealing her gluttonous red nipples. Dennis lowered his head and bit one. She screamed in pain and pleasure. Wanting to be in charge, she pushed him on the bed and sat atop him. Leisurely, she wiggled her bottoms in a circular motion over his stiff crotch. Dennis cried out. He knew
