The Next Morning

Because I wasn't expecting anyone, I quickly made my way to my door as someone knocked after putting on my robe. I was in the middle of getting ready for work when the unexpected visitor arrived. When I opened the door and saw Neko standing behind it, I couldn't stop the smile that spread my lips. Yesterday was… interesting to say the least. All day, even during our meeting, I was trying my hardest to push his buttons. It worked, but when we didn't go all the way, I felt like he was a lost cause.

But seeing him standing at my door with a bouquet of red roses made me believe there was hope for us after all.

"Hi." I spoke, cheesing harder than I should have.

"Good morning, good morning. I know we're going to see each other at work, but I wanted to discuss this with you off the clock."

"Okay. What is it?"

"Why did you come back home, Mal? Honestly. And why did you apply to my firm?"

Since we'd made some progress, I decided to be completely honest. "I meant it when I said I wanted to support you, but I also applied because I wanted to be close to you. I missed you, Neek. I regret losing you, and I was hoping if we spent enough time together… maybe you'd want to give us another chance."

"And what about your brother?"

My eyes rolled as I smiled and took the roses from his hand. "Malik has his wife and kids. I'm not letting him stand in the way of my forever. I love him and don't want to come between the two of you, but I'm in love with you, and I really want to be with you."

He chewed on his cheek before chuckling and shaking his head. "I talked to him about us, and he approves. So if you're serious about this, you're mine. We can date and take our time, but from this day forward, you're mine, Malorie."

"I would like that," I almost whispered as I blushed. "And I promise you don't ever have to worry about me not choosing you again."

That caused him to close the space between us. Neko lowered himself and connected his lips with mine, then picked me up and wrapped my legs around him. After closing the door, he pressed me against the wall.

"I wanted our first time after all this time to be more special than this," Neko muttered against my lips. "Real romantic shit."

A sniggle escaped me before I licked the center of his lips, busying myself with unbuttoning and unzipping his suit pants.

"We can do that the second time. Right now, I want you to fill my pussy up and show me just how much you missed me."

Neko granted my demand, swiftly entering me and going so deep I cried out. My nails clawed the back of his neck as I bit down on my bottom lip and whimpered. The depth of his dick was one challenge to master but combined with him brushing against my clit and alternating between licking and sucking my neck and nipples, I couldn't contain my pleasure. I was sure everyone on my hall heard me, and with how good it felt to have my man back inside of me, I didn't give a damn… at all.

Later that Evening

My first real date with Neko had been perfect. At the start of dinner, he made his intentions with me clear. Then, we went to the museum and ended our evening with drinks. As we walked the concrete path hand in hand by the beach, we talked about our wants and needs. I felt like I was on a cloud finally being in a relationship with Neko.

I felt safe with him because of the effort he had put forth tonight to ensure he was who I needed and could give what I wanted. I didn't think anything could make me love this man more, but his intentionality tonight was it.
