Duke

Duke's eyes fluttered open, and as he turned, he saw Renée peacefully sleeping beside him. He stretched and let out a yawn. A smile crept across his face as the memories of the previous night flooded his mind.

The previous evening had been unforgettable, he had mustered the courage to ask the love of his life to be his girlfriend, and they had shared an intimate moment, making love for the first time. The thought of it made his heart race, and he was getting hard just thinking about it.

Duke smiled, looking at Renée, her braids sprawled out on the pillow. She was facing the window, her back facing him.

Renée's braids cascaded gracefully across the pillow, and he admired her as she lay with her back to him. Stirring from her slumber, she groaned and turned to face Duke. The blanket slid down her stomach, revealing her bare breasts, and he couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty.

Leaning closer, Duke gently pecked her lips before softly sucking on her bottom lip when he felt her lazily kiss him back. As their eyes met, she whispered a sleepy "Good morning," to which he responded with a raspy "Morning."

He continued planting kisses on her cheek and down to her neck. "Last night was nice," she murmured, though "nice" hardly did justice to the incredible experience they had shared.

He wanted to ensure she was comfortable with everything that happened, and she reassured him, "Hell yes." Her playful warning amused him as she teasingly mentioned the possibility of stalking him if anything were to happen between them.

"Because this right here," she mumbled against his lips while rubbing his dick through the sheets. "You gone stop rubbing on me, teasing me and shit," he mumbled, ready to go for another round.

She laughed, placing her head in his neck, "Sorry." She was definitely not ready to go another round since she is a tad sore.

Duke couldn't contain his emotions, and he mumbled, "I love you." Renée's eyes sparkled with affection as she smiled and played with the hairs on his chin, replying, "I love you too."

"Let's go brush our teeth, I'm tired of smelling yo shit" she joked, getting up.

Duke pulled her back down, resting his head on her bare chest. "Few more minutes," he pleaded, not wanting to move.

Renée couldn't help but giggle as she played with his locs. She placed a soft kiss on his forehead, which caused him to smile.

Renée reluctantly got up from her bed, slipping into Duke's shirt as she made her way to the bathroom. After grabbing a fresh toothbrush for Duke, they brushed their teeth together and left the bathroom for her room. As they entered her bedroom, Duke's eyes were drawn to the stuffed elephant he had won for her at Six Flags.

"You still have this?" Duke asked, pointing at the stuffed toy.

"Of course," she replied, her voice filled with affection.

"My dukey pooh," she murmured, hugging the stuffed elephant tightly and giving it a whiff of Duke's cologne, a sweet reminder of him. She cradled it on her hip, treating it as though it were a baby.

Duke just shook his head, laughing at her and the stupid name she gave the stuffed toy.

The couple then made their way to the kitchen, and Renée expressed her recent cravings. "You know what I'm in the mood for?" She asked, placing the stuffed animal on the bar stool next to Duke.

A playful smirk danced on her lips as she slowly nodded. "Banana pancakes," she said.

"Banana pancakes?" Duke questioned with curiosity.
