AURORA DANIELS.

"Sure you don't want to come with me?" Soren asked, grabbing his car keys from the counter.

"No, I have so much work to do." I frowned, leaving over the kitchen granite to look at him.

His eyes lingered over my chest. I knew my cleavage was sticking out with the way I balanced on the counter.  Heat rose to my cheeks and between my legs, as he rounded the counter.

He lifted me off the ground, placing me on the counter. My silk night dress bunched up at my thighs leaving my ass to be pressed against the cold countertop.

Soren fit snugly between my legs. His hands were placed on my thighs as I leaned down slightly, just so that my lips could reach his.

"I'm going to miss you," I said truthfully.

Soren was going away on a business trip.  Some sort of recruitment thing I don't know. He refused to tell me.

It was part of the whole 'the less I know,' thing. I didn't want to pry nor did I want to be clingy. But truthfully I was going to miss him. It was going to be like a whole week without him.

"Me too," he mumbled against my lips, then began to trail kisses down my neck. I threw my head back allowing him to have better access.

"I'll see you when I get back, okay?" He said, looking into my eyes for reassurance. 

"We'll see." I joked, he however did not take it so lightly.  The stern look on his face made that evident.

"I'm only joking, Amore," I teased,  calling him the name he usually calls me.

"Next time I fuck you, whisper that in my ear, please." He groaned, leaning in for a hungry kiss.

He finally pulled away, pulling me off the counter and wrapping his arms around my waist. He held me firm against his chest. My arms intertwined around his neck.

"Be good for me, la mia Principessa." He kissed my lips, softly.

Thankfully Friday had come around quickly.   Soren was to return home on Sunday which was the best part of my weekend.

After having a busy week last week, with meeting Isadora's boyfriend, and her constantly pestering me. It was nice to have a day of just silence.

My phone buzzed on the coffee table.

Soren: Amore. I am going to be away from my phone a bit. If you need anything please phone Gio.

Soren: I also put money in your purse.

I glanced at the time, it was almost 7 pm. I told Soren goodnight because I knew that he wouldn't see his phone until he needed to.

Whatever he was busy with was extremely serious. It had all of his attention. But I didn't mind. I knew the type of work he did, required his undivided attention. I also knew that he had a lot of people relying on him.

Carrying that kind of responsibility must have been exhausting for him.

I had a quick shower and slipped on a pair of shorts and Soren scented T-shirt. My favorite combination these days.

I decided to make a quick stop at the Mini-mart down my road. I was in desperate need of something sweet.

I slipped on my sneakers,  grabbed my house keys, and walked out of my complex. The walk was short, around 5 minutes.
