Chapter 58: How Was It?

Tati stared at the building Killian parallel parked in front of.

An elegant French bakery that currently served breakfast.

She quickly got out and hurried inside.

Killian noticed and scoffed as he got out of the car behind her.

Tati looked at the display of foods they had in the glass case.

Eclairs, croissants of different kinds, profiterole, religieuse, and so much more. It was enough to think she was actually in France.

"Good morning." said the man that walked out of the kitchen.
Killian entered the building.
"Hi." Tati smiled at the baker. He was a handsome man with a welcoming smile. No older than 35.
"Do you know what you'd like?" he asked her.
She looked back at the case. "There's so much to choose from."
"Take your time."

Killian stood next to her as she admired everything.
She looked at him. "I've never seen this place before."
He looked at her smile. "You said you liked bakery food."
"I do..."
She looked back at the options.
"Get whatever you want." he permitted.
"Don't tell me that." she snickered. "I want most of it."
"Then get it."
She looked at him. He just stared at the display.

The bakery smelled so good like sweet bread and coffee. People sat at the tables eating and sipping their beverages while talking to whoever sat across from them.

"The eclairs look really nice." Tati thought aloud.
"An eclair." Killian told the man behind the counter.
"Wait-..." Tati laughed as she was caught off guard.
"And a croissant. She likes croissants."
"Killian."
"Which flavor of either?" the man asked.
Killian looked at Tati.
She looked at the man. "Uh...The chocolate eclair and a regular butter croissant."
"Okay." The man grabbed a box to put the snacks in.
"How many macaron flavors do you have?" Killian asked him.
"Six. Strawberry. Vanilla. Coffee. Lemon. Pistachio. And raspberry."
"Two of each except lemon." Killian stated.
"No problem."

He looked at Tati. "What else do you want?"
"This is enough."
He just stared at her.
"What?" she asked.
"You're gonna have a rough time as a rich housewife if you can't take when he offers you somethin'. Consider this practice. Learn how to splurge."
Tati thought about it. Then looked at the menu on the wall.
The man finished boxing the eclair and croissant then was about to start on the macarons.

"Excuse me, what's a noisette under your coffee menu?" she asked.
"Uh...Essentially it's close to a hot macchiato. Have you had one of those before?"
"Yes. Can I get one of those as well?"
"Sure. Here or to go?"
Tati looked at Killian.
He looked around. "To go."
The man nodded.

"You don't like this place? I think it's pretty cozy." she stated.
"Too many windows."
She looked at him.
Then at all of the windows.

She took his hand and pulled him closer then walked around him and stood to his left.

"Why did you do that?" he asked.
She shrugged with eyes back on the menu. "Hiding you from the windows."
He snickered and decided to keep the fact that he was a whole head taller than her to himself.

"What else can I get for the two of you?" the man asked once he finished boxing the rest and placed down Tati's coffee.
"The breakfast sandwich. That's it." Killian answered.
The man put it all into the computer. "That'll be 42.95." He walked away to fix Killian's sandwich.

"This place is really pricey." Tati spoke up.
"Rich housewives don't look at price tags." Killian said as he slid in his card.
"I was lower class until I was taken. Which is fucking backwards. I'm used to staring at price tags." she said quietly.
"Mm." He removed his card like the machine told him to.

"Are we going back to the house after this?" Tati wondered.
"I have to go to work."
"Oh..."
He looked at her. "What do you want?"
"Nothing."
"Something."
"No."
"Tati."
"What?"
"What do you want?" he asked again.
She made sure she faced away from him. "The house is boring. Why don't you have a tv?"
"I have a tv, it's in my bedroom but I don't watch it."
"Clearly."
"What do you want?"

The man came back with Killian's freshly made breakfast sandwich.
"Here you go." he stated.
Killian took it and Tati grabbed everything else. "Thank you." she told him and the man nodded.

"I don't know what I want." Tati said to Killian.
He held the door open for her to walk out.
"I could get you a toy." he teased.
"Is that a perverted joke or just you mocking me?" Tati wondered.
"Either." He walked around the car and unlocked it before the two got inside.
"Drown." she rebutted.
"I almost did last night."
Her eyebrows furrowed.
Then she gasped and punched him in the arm.
Killian chuckled as he got onto the road.

She started thinking.
About something that would be embarrassing to ask but she wanted to.
"Personal question but you can't judge me." she stated.
"Interesting."
"I'm serious. Keep your laughs or whatever to yourself."
"What happens if I laugh?"
"I crash this fucking car." she threatened dramatically.
"Alright." he scoffed. "Ask."
"How do you think I handled it?" she wondered.
"What?"
"When you took my virginity."
"Good." he answered.
She nodded.
"Better than I thought you would."
She stared down at the boxes. "How did you think I would?"
"I thought you'd panic more. Be more scared and reluctant."
"Oh..."
"You're not the best sex I've had but you're the one I had the best time fucking." he stated.
She looked at him. "What the hell does that mean?"
"Which part?"
"All of it!"
"It means I've had better sex in general. I've had experienced women. Kinkier women. That made the act fun. But I liked watching you in general." He stopped at a red light. "Listening to you. You're the sexiest I've fucked. Out of everyone else you are the hardest one to pull out of." He looked at her. She just stared at him with wide eyes.
He chuckled and drove since the light turned green.
"Some women look stupid when you fuck them. They try too hard to look sexy or they just lose all control of the muscles in their face. They moan weird. But you...that look on your face makes me feral. You moan soft. Whimper too. Like I'm doing too much to you and you're barely holding on. You bite your lip. You got a face that makes me wanna cum in you."
She faced forward and couldn't tell if she regretted asking the question or not.
"Every position I've had you you've looked absolutely beautiful in. When you start to learn more, you're gonna put somebody in a coma." he stated.
She held onto the boxes and stared back at them.

"Personal question." he began.
She looked at him.
"How did I do for your first time?"
She knew it and still she practically flinched at the question.

She took a deep breath.

"You were...gentler than I expected..." she said and looked out of her window. "I didn't really expect you to care about how I'd feel. I thought you'd just take it as an opportunity like you wanted. So thinking that, I don't know why I still went through with it but I did."

She noticed they'd left the city and knew they were close to Killian's house.

"It was good. It helped me no longer feel bad about losing it because at least I enjoyed it. I'd feel much worse if it was with you plus it was bad. But unfortunately it wasn't."
"Unfortunately?"
"Yea."
"Mm."

Killian pulled up to his gate's keypad and typed in the code.

"Feel tied to me yet?" he teased with a smirk.
"No." She rolled her eyes.
"Unfortunate."
