Taste of Wolves

Chapter 7

He remained seated and silent for four hours as she did what she called "streaming". When she started bidding everyone a good afternoon and reminding them she'd be streaming later that night and what time she'd be back on, he straightened up. He watched as she stopped her stream and took hear headphones off and set them on the desk. She looked over at him and smiled making his heart leap up into his throat. 'She's got the prettiest smile!' he thought as he stared at her, glancing at her lips.

"I need to start dinner. Would you guys like to stay?" She asked.

"Well, I can't really speak for Chibs but I'd love to." He replied making her smile.

She got up and headed back upstairs.

"Aria? Sweetie, we'll be having guests for dinner tonight." Linda called out to her niece making Aria smile.

"Ok, Aunt Linda. What sounds good?" Aria replied.

"Make us some enchiladas. You make the best." Linda replied earning a smile from Chibs who was sitting on the couch close to the older woman.

"Ye canno' beat a homecooked meal." Aria heard Chibs state before she walked into the kitchen to get out the ingredients for dinner. Quinn followed her just wanting to be near her again. Thoughts of him spending the night with her kept playing over in his mind. How they woke up all tangled up together. All he wished was that he'd had skin-to-skin contact with her instead of him being completely dressed when he went to bed that night. Every time he thought of having a handful of her tight little ass he got hard. Thinking of her with her leg thrown over his and her face in his chest made his cock twitch. As she began cooking some hamburger meat, he stood there and took in her appearance.

Even in just jeans and a t-shirt she was gorgeous. She was walking around barefoot which he found cute for some reason. Her jeans accented her curvy rear and he itched to smack her ass before groping it. As the meat was cooking, she moved to the island to create what he assumed would be the enchilada sauce. She was making it homemade so he was curious as to how dinner was going to taste. Gemma also made everything homemade so he wondered if she was as good a cook as the Matriarch.

"So. What have you fellas been up to since we last saw you?" She suddenly asked bringing him out of his staring.

"Mostly working at the auto shop." He replied, "But we've also been digging around to find out more about who attacked you ladies. Once we know more about them, we'll make a plan to make them pay for what they've done to you both."

"Taking revenge for us, huh?" She looked over her shoulder and winked, "How sweet of you."

He couldn't tell if she was being serious or sarcastic.

"It's the least we can do since you were sort of brought into our mess." He stated.

"I meant no offense, Rane." She quickly replied hoping she hadn't offended him by her statement, "But it is sweet of you."

He really liked the way she said his name. It sent electricity down his spine.

"I'm not offended. Takes a lot to offend me, actually." He told her.

"I'll keep that in mind. OH! Would you care for something to drink? We've got Dr. Pepper, sweet tea, milk, OJ, and water." She stated.

"Tea will be fine." He replied.

She left what she was doing to fetch him a glass of tea. Their hands touched when she handed the glass off to him and his heart began to beat faster at the contact. He knew he needed to touch her again. She tried to remain calm and breath normally after she handed him his cup and she felt a spark between them. Surely he had felt it too? She went back to her sauce to make sure she'd added all the ingredients before taking it to the stove to simmer. Next was dicing up an onion to go in the enchiladas. Quinn leaned against the counter and just watched her work with a slight smile. He could easily see her fixing dinner for them like they were a real couple.

"Wolfie, your aunt wants somethin' t' drink." Chibs stated as he entered the kitchen.

"Pour a glass of OJ for her, please. Glasses are in that cabinet right there." Aria replied as she pointed out the right cabinet.

"Thank ye." The medic responded as he walked to the cabinet to fetch the glass.

The kitchen was silent with the exception of the sound of her dicing the onion and Chibs pouring a glass of OJ. Aria thanked him for helping her aunt making him just smile at him as he glanced over at Quinn. He walked back into the living room to give Linda her glass of OJ earning a wide smile and thanks in return.

"Tell me something. You actually make your living doing what you were doing earlier?" Quinn asked making her laugh.

"Yep. People donate money to me and that's how I earn a living. I'm not the top streamer in the world but I do quite well for myself." She explained.

"Huh."

She smiled as she looked over at him, glancing at his lips briefly, before turning back to her onion.

"People donate money to watch you play video games?" He questioned again.

"Yes. I've donated to streamers I thoroughly enjoy before. I don't force them to give me money. That's why it's called a donation. Us streamers try to make it as entertaining as possible and interact with people as much as we can even if they don't donate money to us." She tried to explain to him.

"I see. That's not my thing." He chuckled.

"It's not for everyone." She shrugged before moving to check on the meat.

It was ready to be drained so she moved it to the strainer to drain all the grease off it. While it was draining, she stirred the enchilada sauce then went to open the package of tortillas and get them ready. He watched as she opened a cabinet under the counter, staring at her ass as she was bent over, to grab a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. He had to smile as he stared.

"See something you like, big boy?" She stated as she stood up.

"Very much so." Quinn retorted making her heart leap into her throat not expecting that answer to come from him.

She tried to stay calm as she walked back to the island to grease up the baking dish.

"Is that so?" She casually replied.

"Mmmm. It is very so." She was sure he purposefully dropped his voice making her knees nearly buckle.

She used some butter to grease the dish up then wiped her hands. Before she could do anything, he was standing directly behind her with his hands on her hips. She swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat as he turned her around so they were looking at one another. In one instant they were staring at one another and the next his lips were on hers. It caught her off guard briefly but she soon began kissing him back as fervently as he was kissing her. It was a good thing he had her pushed up against the kitchen island because she was sure she would have fallen to the ground by now. He slid his right arm around her lower back and entangled his left hand in her multi-colored hair.

She grabbed him by his enormous arms and pulled him as close to her as she could get him. They eventually pulled apart to get some air. "I've wanted to do that since the first day I saw you." he confessed making her smile up at him and her to reply to him that she had too. "I need to finish dinner." she told him before he leaned down and kissed her once more. He let her go and moved to stand back where he'd been before to give her some space to cook in. She knew he was intently watching her as she put together their dinner but it was for another reason she was sure. Once everything was put together, she poured extrasauce over the enchiladas then smothered them with the cheese before puttingthe dish into the oven to bake.

He watched as she leaned up to get plates down from the cabinet near the dishwasher then moved to get silverware. She set the table for the four of them before walking back into the kitchen. He beckoned her over to him where he wrapped her up in his arms to kiss her again. She sighed into it having dreamt of this since the first time she'd laid eyes on him. The pair just stood there kissing until the oven timer dinged. She smiled up at her giant of a man before excusing herself to take the dish out of the oven. The cheese was bubbling making her smile. She moved it to the table then called everyone to dinner. Chibs helped Linda up out of her seat and to the dining table where they found their seats.
