Koa
Opening my eyes, Irolled over, expecting to see her beside me.
She was gone.
Sitting up in bed, I felt her pillow, and it was cold. Running my hands down my face, I dropped them into my lap. I was still half asleep, trying to catch my bearings. Groaning slightly, I planted my feet on the floor and stood up with a slight wobble.
Where did she go?
Walking to her room, the door was shut, so I knocked lightly. "Minx?" Silence. Opening the door, I poked my head in and find it empty.
Raking a hand through my hair, I made my way downstairs. The sound of violins rolled down the hall, and I could smell the faint scent of something in the air.
Eggs and bacon.
Reaching the kitchen, she was standing at the stove with her eyes closed as she swayed her head slowly to the music, using the spatula in her hand as if she was conducting an orchestra.
Leaning against the door frame, I crossed my arms and just watched her. I enjoyed seeing her that way, relaxed as if she was home in her own house. Her body moved, rolling like a goddess, her hips rocked, and her ass jiggled.
Opening her eyes, she folded the eggs in the pan, unaware that she had an audience.
Clapping loudly, I stepped into the room. "Beautiful," I said.
She jumped, startled by me. "You have to stop doing that." Holding her hand to her chest, she shook her head. "I hate being snuck up on."
Holding up my hand, I tilted my head and apologized. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that again. I'm just happy I was far enough away you didn't sock me this time. I see you found my stereo," I said, taking a seat at the island.
She nodded as she poked at the eggs in the pan. "Yeah, I did. I hope it's alright that—"
Holding up my hand, I smiled. "It's fine. You don't need to apologize for anything. Besides, music is food for the soul." Closing my eyes, I swayed my hand in the air to the beat. "Beautiful, isn't it? So much power. Il ritorno—"
She cut me off, keeping her head down on the pan. "Di Ulisse in Patrie." She said it perfectly, her tongue rolling the R with her sexy little accent.
"You know what this is?"
