We dropped Mara off at Mikey's place cause we can't take her to the airport. We stayed there and watched her load all her equipment into a different car then watched her drive away. This was always the hardest part for me, watching her leaving and not knowing whether or not she'll come back.

"Hey, she'll be back" Ryan said making me nod. I didn't know what to say, I've never had someone with me when she left. Even Mikey would leave me alone outside cause she has work to do, and even though I now have Ryan, I still feel like I can't breathe.
"You're okay baby, you're okay"

"I should be comforting you as w-"

"Baby, she may be my girlfriend but she is your wife first. You have a connection with her that runs deep, and I'm still forming bonds with you both, so please let me take care of you" he said making me lock eyes with him

"It's times like these when I wish I was shorter than you" I said slightly blushing making him chuckle and wrap his hands around my waist

"I love our height differences" he said with a smirk making me raise an eyebrow cause I knew only nasty stuff was flowing inside his head
"You didn't tense up when I put my hands around you"

"I didn't even notice" I said feeling my cheeks become warm

"Now I'll always have my hands on you" he whispered in my ear making me gasp while he chuckled
"Come on, let's get you home so I can spoil you"

"Okay" I said and he smiled before closing his eyes and puckering out his lips making me chuckle
"You're being childish"

"I want kisses" he said with his eyes still closed, so I confidently pulled him closer by his waist and kissed his soft lips
"Don't make me hard"

"Ryan!" I shouted making him chuckle and assault my ass before taking my hand in his, leading us to the car. The ride back home was a quiet one but I suppose that's because booth of us were lost in our own thoughts. Having his hand on my thigh as he drove and listening to his soft humming gave me a level of comfort that I didn't know I needed.

"I feel like cooking, what do you feel like eating?" I asked as opened my door for me

"Are you on the menu?" Ryan asked and I gaped at him while he chuckled before kissing my cheek then took my hand
"Let's go see what we have available"

"I swear one of these days" I mumbled and followed behind him. I watched him open the refrigerator door and stare at the contents inside humming to himself. I stared at him for different reasons all while he was talking to himself about what Mara wouldn't kill him for eating

"...but she won't notice the chicken, although what if she wants chicken when she gets back? Hmm, I don't feel like m... baby what's wrong?" this beautiful man asked making me smile and walk toward him. The amount of worry I see on his face was making me heart beat faster than it normally does. I know I should be comforting him over Mara and I know I should ask him what text pissed him off yesterday but at this moment, none of that mattered

"Thank you" I said wrapping my arms around his waist. He hugged me back immediately which made me tighten my hold around him.

"Bab-" he started saying but I cut him off. For the first time since our relationship began, I kissed him first. He was taken aback at first but feeling his hands around my neck made me deepen our kiss. I pulled him impossibly closer to me making him moan and tug my hair. I've never done this to him but my hands found their way to his ass and I couldn't help squeezing it. I moaned at how his ass felt in my hands then moaned because we were both hard
