Decca preferred to keep a plant-based diet, so she enjoyed the meatless fasting meals. For the past few weeks, we settled into a nice little schedule of cooking together and eating dinner as a family.

I’d come to love our chaos dinners; just the two of us finding a spot to eat amid stacks of papers and books, discussing what story I should tell to open my next sermon, or how her cases were going.

Re-covering the pot, I grabbed two bowls from the cupboard where she couldn’t reach. There was still a flat surface on the rice, so she hadn’t eaten yet. Probably waiting for me.

“Dec, you hungry?” I shouted to the seemingly vacant house.

I looked out the side window. Her truck was in the driveway. Relief flooded my body, like all the tension in my neck and shoulders melted away and my breaths deepened.

Her absence was unsettling.

Without her, a part of me was missing.

I ducked my head out the back door. The light was off. She hadn’t gone out back without me. She still hadn’t been ready to light the bonfire, but we’d taken to sitting in front of the unlit logs most nights. It was becoming our ritual.

I took the stairs two at a time, frantic to see her face.

The light was off in her room. Her door was drawn but wasn’t completely closed, so I didn’t think twice before opening it.

“Dec?”

Her head jerked up, and the laptop slammed shut.

“Gus,” she said with an unused voice. She cleared her throat and fiddled with her headphones. No wonder she hadn’t heard me come in. I’d caught her off guard while she was watching... Wait, what was she watching?

I couldn’t help but grin. “What was that?” I pointed to the computer she was so careful not to draw attention to. She sat up straighter on the bed.

“What?” She pulled off the bug-like headphones.

I closed the distance between us and flopped onto my belly on the bed, reaching for the laptop. She drew it onto her lap, hugging it.

“What were you watching?” I asked innocently, hoping to cover how desperate I was to see what turned her on when she was in the privacy of her bedroom.

“It’s nothing. Really. It’s too embarrassing.”

“You never have to be embarrassed, Dec. It’s natural. I promise I won’t tease you. It won’t leave this room.”

I should leave this room. But wild dogs couldn’t tear me away now.

She looked at me with raised eyebrows, trying to decide if she could trust me. Her fingers tightened on the edge of the silver MacBook. She didn’t need to hold back. I wasn’t going to pry it from her hands, no matter how much I wanted to force her to hand it over so we could start re-enacting whatever filthy act she’d been watching. Then she sighed and smiled nervously, passing it across the bed.

Her lips pressed together as she looked down.

Oh, Crow, there’s no need to be ashamed.

My fingers greedily pried the cover up. I could barely take the anticipation. My cock was already half hard at the thought of Decca killing time before I got home by watching porn. Had she had a hand down her leggings when I’d come in? Was she using a toy?

She clicked the spacebar to start the video. A woman in historic garb filled the screen. Okay, so…

“She’s... pretty,” I said, trying to be supportive of her predilections, whatever they ended up being.

Decca moved, kneeling so she could lean over my shoulder to watch.Were we actually watching porn together?Fuck dinner. I could feast on Decca’s juicy pussy.

This night had taken a pleasantly arousing turn. “Uh, sure, yeah. She’s gorgeous,” Decca said, sounding a bit confused.

I repositioned myself next to her on the bed, settling in. If we were doing this, then fuck, we were doing this for real.

“There’s no sound.”
