In an elegant move, Leo is down on the floor, I don’t move quite as easily as I sit down in front of him, leaning against the couch. Leo cuts into his steak with enjoyment and looks up to find me watching him. His smile is tender. “So, tell me. Why do you like sitting on the floor? I remember your condo, you don’t have a dining table even though there is room for one.”
I blush a little to make the admission. “Our house was so small we didn’t have room for a table big enough to fit all of us. There were three kids and my parents. We could only fit a tiny table in for four of us. It was usually fine with my sisters and my mom because my dad worked a lot. When we were all home, and we wanted to eat as a family my mom would lay out a big tablecloth on the floor, so we wouldn’t spill on the carpet. It was like a picnic.”
“Sounds nice, a family wanting to eat together.” He leans toward me, offering a bite of his steak, “You have been staring at my steak. I’m willing to share.”
It feels sweetly intimate as I take the bite. Leo’s eyes glow with satisfaction. “I love the way your blush goes down to your breasts every time.”
He laughs when I blush again and look down to see what he said is very true. “Behave. I’m hungrier than I thought I was.”
We eat in easy silence for a while. I’m shocked by how comfortable I am completely naked in front of Leo. It helps Leo’s eyes roam over me often with appreciation, it’s clear he likes what he sees. Seeing how much he likes me naked reminds me of something I’ve been wanting to know. “When were you going to tell me that you’ve been funding the lingerie I’ve been getting from Gertrude?”
Leo frowns. “Never. Did Gertrude tell you?”
Crap, “No, I was online, and a set of the bra and panties I was in came up as a suggestion. I clicked through and found almost the entire contents of my dresser drawer were from the best name in luxury lingerie. I noticed the prices were about five times what I spent every time I walked out of Gertrude’s.”
“Hmm.” Leo sips his wine then goes back to pushing the mushrooms out of his side dish.
“That’s it?”
“That’s what?” His fork poised to his mouth.
“We aren’t going to discuss the probably outrageous amount of money I spent without realizing it on lingerie?”
