Sweet and sour

Petal POV 

"Do you like it?" 

I heard Ethan ask as I continued eating the lemon ice cream. I nodded my head and offered him a smile. Because of my medications, I'm not always allowed to eat sweet food, but today, Ethan allowed it and let me pick my favorite ice cream flavor.

I scooped a small amount and brought the spoon to Ethan's lip, and he immediately accepted. Ethan is very strict when it comes to eatin, and I don't think that I ever saw him eating chocolate or anything sweet.

"It's sweet and sour." Ethan said as he picked up the wine cup, taking a sip of it.

I could see how his eyes followed my every movement, from scooping the ice cream with the spoon to bringing it to my lips. It made my body shivered, but it made me feel happy at the same time, to see him stare at me with such desire in his eyes pushes away the doubts in my mind.

I could still feel his warmth over my body from earlier, the way he gently and passionately makes love to me every time leaves me breathless and I find myself falling in love with him every single time.

Once I finished eating, we went on a walk in the forest near the restaurant, this brought back memories of our first time here. I looked up at Ethan and found myself staring at him like a teenager, admiring the handsome-strong man beside me.

Ethan noticed that I was looking at him and he looked at me."Are you cold?" He asked and I shook my head no, the weather was chilly but I was warm.

A wave of desire and lust took over me and all I wanted was to feel his warmth pressed against my body, filling me physically and mentally. As usual, Ethan understood what was going inside my head and asked."Do you want to go back home?" 

I nodded my head and we headed back towards the car. Once we reached the house, we both couldn't get enough of ourselves, it was a frenzy of deep love and lust.

Resting my head on his chest, I was so tired and exhausted. It didn't take me long to fall asleep in his arms, feeling safe and complete. 

The next morning, I woke up before Ethan and it's rare for me to wake up before him, he is always the one who gets up first. But the reason why I woke up early is because I couldn't stop thinking about the man we saw last night.

When our eyes met, I saw a familiar sadness in his eyes, loneliness, and guilt. It reminded me of Ethan when we first met. I noticed how he was looking at us with envy in his eyes but I could tell that he's not a bad person.

Even when Ethan asked him to join us for dinner, he declined and said that he didn't want to bother us and then he left.

After I took a quick shower, I went downstairs to prepare the dogs breakfast first. Today is Sunday and Ethan doesn't train the dogs on the weekend. The poor dogs were still sleeping, happy with their day off, but once they smiled at the foo, they immediately woke up and stood in a line waiting for their meals.
