Chapter 3
Tiana's Perspective
"If I know what love is, it is because of you."-Herman Hesse

A burning sensation laced my fingertips as I snatched my hand back in pure agony. The fire grazed the candle as I shook my hand in a fast pace motion. I adjusted my robe that was tied tightly around my waist. To say I was nervous was an understatement. My palms were sweaty, teeth were chattering, I kept fixing my hair every two seconds, and not to mention my feet were a little sore. I lit a few more candles placing them on the kitchen table as music played throughout the dimmed area.
Tonight Owen would be coming home from Virginia after over two months. He was supposed to be coming to visit me in the morning after work but I just couldn't wait that long, so I snuck over to his place tonight using the key that he had given me to surprise him with a nice dinner after his long flight. I had cooked his favorite meal and I was going to fix him up a nice bubble bath to relax and unwind for the night. I missed having him by my side, his scent, touch, and presence it was driving me insane. I was also extremely sexually frustrated, the way Owen put it down always left me hot and bothered so two whole months without any action wasn't the easiest, I'm pretty sure my vibrator batteries were dead by now. I was craving him.
As I was fixing a glass of red wine the front door opened. I leaned up smiling like crazy as a suitcase and a few bags made there way through the front door. Owen appeared with keys and his phone in his hand looking around in confusion until his eyes met mine. I shifted my weight onto one leg looking around nervously trying to not show my excitement. He flashed me with his signature smile that always seemed to create a frenzy within my panties. His head had been freshly shaved with a trimmed up beard to match and he seemed to be more buff as if he had been lifting weights in his spare time away. My baby was taking care of himself.
He locked the door before stepping over his luggage on the floor and rushing over to pick me up in his arms. He bit his lips then placed a sensual wet kiss on my mines. I giggled in his arms wrapping my arms around his neck as my feet hung in the air. He ended the kiss by sucking on my bottom lip making me even more needy. He placed me back on the floor as his eyes never left mine.
"Baby what you doin' here I was gon come see you first thing in the mornin."
"I wanted to surprise you also it was driving me crazy not seeing your face, I couldn't wait."
The genuine smile wouldn't leave his face as he looked around the kitchen rubbing his stomach.
"Who showed you how to cook them steaks like that?" He asked chuckling licking his lips glancing over at the table.
I rolled my eyes, "a YouTube tutorial but I could've very well did it the same way on my own Owen."
"Mhm, but this looks good baby thank you I'm starvin' like hell and I missed yo sexy ass too." He kissed my cheek giving a firm slap to my ass before grabbing his bags taking them back to his room.
I adjusted my robe turning down the music a few levels pulling out a chair at the kitchen table to sit down. Owen came back into the kitchen to wash his hands before sitting down in just a white tank top and some sweats.
