Presto smiled as he cooked. He was learning all sorts of little tricks with things since his magic had sorted itself out, and while he was still learning finer control and tactics of calm from Vanessa, he felt like he had reached a whole new plateau. He liked being able to rely on her for things, and being able to give her things as well. He liked that a lot.
Being a partner to her was nice and fun and he didn’t know if he would ever really not wake up blinkling to this reality where he was loved and living with her. As he cooked, he smiled. It was a lovely reality, though./
Now, if he could just figure out whether to sell his old house or give it away, or just keep it in mothballs.
*** Vanessa’s own control on her abilities was stronger than it had ever been before and she knew it was at least partly down to Presto and how happy and safe he made her feel. Of course the fact that he too was mastering his gifts better now too only added to her own happiness.
They made a good team and she felt free to express herself openly with him, she liked that too.
Entering the kitchen she smiled making her way over to him and sliding her hands around him. “That smells good” she told him with a grin up at him.
***
“Mmm, hello, beautiful.” Seeing her always put a smile on his face and made him feel like a calm had fallen over him. Well, most of him. He grinned wider as he bent to kiss her and slid his arms around her after checking the food.
“I’m glad you like. I was hoping you would. Been planning on trying new recipes to share with you.” He’d found a new omelet recipe with some nice ingredients and it was sizzling away on the stove.
“How are you this morning?”
***
“Mmm morning” Vanessa said after returning the kiss happily, “I'm a lucky woman, if I'd have known I'd get fed so well I would have asked you to move in sooner” she teased him with a grin.
“I'm very well, I've never slept so peacefully.Having you next to me has so many benefits my love”
***
Presto smirked at her. “It is my love to serve my love.” he grinned wider. He took a deep breath, feeling bouncy and warm, snuggling her close, keeping one eye peeled to glance at the food.
“I’m rather enjoying it myself. Waking up with you is the best way to wake up, ever.” Waking up to her made him happy. And it felt like a long time since he had been this happy, if ever.
He heard a popping from the pan, glanced over and pecked her lips with a kiss. “Food is almost ready. Can you grab some plates?”
*** Presto was such a gentleman, he said the sweetest things and what made him truly special was how much he meant it all. It made Vanessa feel truly grateful that they had found each other.
“Of course” she said after returning the kiss, leaving him to finish the food while she got out the plates and cutlery, “Juice?” she asked him as she placed the plates next to him so he could dish up.
***
Presto groaned as he placed food on the plates and watched her move. It took him a minute to respond after and he grinned. “Yes, please. I think we still have orange in there?” He did love to watch her and do things with her. She made him feel absolutely exhilarated with himself and with life.
Grabbing the now laden plates, he carried them to the table, the silverware dancing through the air after him.
“Breakfast is served.”
***
Vanessa smiled, she’d felt his eyes on her as she moved about the kitchen but she liked the way he watched her. It sent a thrill through her.
“We do indeed” she confirmed retrieving the juice from the fridge and setting it on the table laughing as the cutlery made it’s way to the table.
“It looks perfect. Thank you” she said pressing a kiss to his cheek before they sat..
***
Presto smiled wider, sighing happily as he settled to his seat, eyes on her. “You make me inspired to do the best I can, in everything.” He winked at her, thinking of some of the times they had made love, and how much he was learning. Blushing, he dug in.
*** “Thank you but you are doing yourself a disservice. You are an incredible man and I believe you would strive to be your best no matter what” Vanessa told him with a smile, though she was pleased.
***
“I would, but you still inspire me.” He waggled a finger at her. “You help me think and plan even when i am down, because you remind me of how lucky I am, and how good my life is.” He grinned, cheeks red. “And of how I have the sexiest woman I know as a girlfriend.”
He winked at her and went back to eating.
*** Vanessa blushed then, she wasn’t an easy woman to go red but Presto managed it with regularity. She loved that. He excited her and challenged her in ways she hadn’t felt before and it thrilled her.
“Well I am lucky enough to have a man who makes me feel sexy, so it’s really all thanks to you” Vanessa smiled, using her free hand to stroke his fingers.
***
Presto shivered, bringing that hand up to his lips to kiss, eyes turning to her again, a little more heatedly. “You, madame, are definitely inspiring me right now…”
He couldn’t help it! She got him horny just by being around, and a touch, a few words, or something similar and he felt like he was more aroused than he had ever been before.
“I think if my body had its way, we would never get out of bed.”
*** Vanessa laughed, happy and almost carefree, “I am not going to deny that is extremely flattering and honestly I would not mind that at all” she grinned, bringing his hand to her own lips she pressed a kiss to his fingers too. The heat in his gaze was matched by her own.
***
Presto groaned, and reluctantly took his hand back after her kiss, and her look, nearly melted him off of his chair. Or did something to him, anyway.
“I love you so much.”
He grinned at her. “We should probably try… try, mind you, to talk about other things for a moment or two of the day. Not sure how, really, because I just want to bend you over this table and make you cry out in pleasure. But we should probably try…” He didn’t wanna, but he knew he should.
***
“I love you too” she told him before laughing, “You’re right of course, we should at least try. Oh I know, we have two people lined up to look at the house next week. They’re aware it won’t be available until our new home is built but still want to come and see”
Building their own home wasn’t the quickest thing to do but it would mean they got something they wanted exactly as they wanted it.
***
“Sweet! I also have mentioned my old house to a couple of people who are looking, and they are discussing it.” He nodded. She was warm and amazing and smart and he was a lucky man, very lucky, indeed.
“We are going to have an awesome house.”
***
“Of course we are, it will be ours down to the last cushion” Vanessa smiled, “I am just glad we were able to agree so easily on the design we wanted and that we managed to find an architect and builders so quickly, obviously fate was on our side”
***
Presto nodded, feeling absolutely delighted. “Me too. And that we can afford what we want. Somehow, since you came in my life, everything has been slowly coming together.” He grinned, flushing. “INcluding us.”
***
“It is rather like a dream. A very nice one” she added since some of their Dreams were not so good, “And I intend to enjoy every second of it”
***
“No dream I ever had was this good.” He nodded. “I am very glad to have you in my life.” He kissed her, softly, and nodded.
“I love you, Vanessa. And I am happier about that than anything I’ve ever known.”
*** “I love you too” Vanessa told him with a smile, “And nothing makes me happier than being with you”
