"Take care of what you have going on first," my father advised.
"I got this, Unc," Evander insisted as he smirked.
"She has two sons. Teenagers at that." I had to let him know because Evander had never dealt with a woman who had kids.
He stroked his beard and mischievously smiled. "And I might just be the father they need."
"I'm staying out of this. Good luck." I laughed.
My last client for the day ended up rescheduling, so my father, Evander, and I stayed in my office until I headed home to my girls.
Carsyn texted me and told me not to come home until a specific time, so that's what I did.
When I left, I was excited to get home to see what she had planned. Carsyn would plan surprises for me often, so to know she planned something for me made me happy as hell. I was grateful that we were able to fall back into the things we did before the incident. The day turned out great, and it would get even better when I got home. I had a good feeling about our future.
Niaand I had full day of adventure. Once we were done, and she was bathed, I dropped her off at my sister’s house because I planned a special night for Noah and I.
An hour later, I was cleaned, moisturized, and eager for Noah to arrive home. While I waited, I made sure the food was nice and hot and the wine was chilled. As soon as I heard his car pull into the driveway, I headed into the living room to greet him.
His steps faltered when he opened the door and took in the ambiance.
"What's all this?" Noah's eyes swept over my body as he tossed his keys into the bowl by the door.
"Just a little something to show my appreciation."
"I damn sure appreciate it." His eyes continued sweeping over my body as he absentmindedly closed the door.
Noah walked toward me with hunger, and his eyes and heat flooded my body. When he got within arm's reach, he put his hands on my hips and pulled me close.
"Is it safe to say Nia is asleep?" he asked, then pecked my lips.
"She's not here."
He smirked, then kissed me again, this time with tongue. "Even better," he declared once he broke the kiss.
I grabbed Noah's hand and led him into the kitchen. On the table were candles, and the only light came from the stove light.
"Oh, this how you coming tonight?" he asked as I pulled out his chair.
"Yes. I just want to reciprocate what you've done for me. This isn't even half, but it's a start. I have some other things in store for you."
I went to walk away, but Noah grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. He opened his legs, so I stood in between them. His hands ran up and down my legs as he looked up at me.
"You know I don't need all of this, right?"
"I know, but it's something I really want to do."
"I'm not complaining at all. You in lingerie and this food is enough. I can't imagine what else you did."
I found a black sheer lingerie bodysuit that had mesh fabric with lace trim accents when I went shopping earlier in the day.
"Let me get your plate so you can see." I winked and walked away.
This time, he didn't fight me on it. I could feel him looking at my butt, but it wasn't hard with the little outfit I had on.
"How was your first day back?" I asked, putting his food on the plate, then made one for myself.
Noah detailed his day as I put the plates on the table before getting the water and wine from the fridge. Once everything wason the table, I sat across from Noah, but he didn't like the seating arrangement because he pushed his plate and stuff to my side of the table.
