Kira was all alone now as she reached for the small bowl of sauce beside the burrito. She had even forgotten that the burrito came with a rich, brown chipotle sauce. As she took the sauce in her hand, she carefully poured it over the warm wrap.
The sauce soaked into the burrito as it darkened the tortilla, making Kira gulp from want. She was already licking her lips and as soon as she was done and satisfied with the amount of sauce she had poured on the burrito, she set the bowl down.
“Come to mama,” She whispered, flexed her fingers, and then picked up the burrito with both hands. “Ouu.”
The burrito felt so warm and soft against her hands, and the first bite was everything. “Mmm!” She moaned out as her teeth sank into the slightly toasted tortilla, the seasoned meat, sauteed peppers and melted cheese, all coming together in her mouth. She enjoyed how the fillings burst onto her tongue.
“This is so good,” Kira sighed from satisfaction.
She hummed softly in appreciation, taking her time to chew slowly and savor every flavor. After eating some of the burrito, she placed it back on the plate and licked a spot of sauce from her thumb, before reaching for a chip.
“Just how I like it,” she murmured to herself, smiling. The chip was perfectly salted, and the crunches left her wanting more. She went on to dip the next chip she took into the leftover sauce and eat it.
And so she ate her chips and burrito, leaning back in her chair at the final bite. When she was done, she reached for the glass of water and took a slow sip, emptying the glass.
“Wow!” Kira exclaimed. “That is what I’m talking about. Ouu!”
Setting the empty glass down on the dining table with a soft clink, she sighed in satisfaction. She was pleasantly full and for a moment, she relaxed, letting her food digest.
After Kira had let her food settle for a few moments, she pushed back her chair and stood, stretching softly and then picked up the tray, balancing the empty plates, everything she had used to eat, and glass carefully on the tray, as she then carried them to the kitchen.
In the now quiet kitchen except for some hums like that of the refrigerator, Kira placed the glass and plate in the sink. She took off her jacket and started washing and rinsing. Her shirt was already short-sleeved, and so there was no need for her to roll up anything.
After she was done with rinsing them off, she dried each item and neatly placed them back where they belonged. Satisfied with everything, Kira wiped down the counter with a small cloth.
“Perfect,” she muttered when she was done. Everything was now left spotless.
With the kitchen in order just the way she wanted it to be, she turned off the lights and made her way upstairs. “So tired,” she groaned and stretched as she climbed each step.
When she reached her room, she opened the door, went inside and locked it with a soft click. Kira immediately undressed, tossing her clothes into the laundry basket, which was in a good spot in the room for it. She stretched some more, enjoying the feeling of being naked and about to take a hot bath.
Stretching, she let out a soft yawn while she padded toward the bathroom. In the bathroom, Kira turned on the faucet, letting the hot water run and also the cold water, mixing it up to achieve the perfect temperature for herself. Afterward, she grabbed a bottle of scented bath oil, which had an amazing scent, from the shelf and poured a generous amount into the water.
“Mmm…” She hummed, enjoying the scent as she fanned the fragrance upwards, inhaling it. “Mmmm.”
Quickly after her bath was ready, she swept her hair into a loose bun atop her head, not wanting it to get wet, before she carefully stepped into the tub. She groaned softly out of relief as she sank into the water.
Kira leaned back, resting on the smooth edge of the tub, with her eyes closed. The heat of the water seeped into her skin, the water easing every knot of tension from her muscles. She took her time to enjoy that feeling, before reaching for her sponge, and soaking it in the water.
She ran the sponge over her arms, traced it down her neck, over her shoulders, and along her legs as she scrubbed. Kira could not help but sigh. The day was a long one and this bath is exactly what she needed.
And let’s not forget a good sleep.
When she was done with scrubbing, she stayed in the tub a little before she finally stood and reached for a towel near her. She wrapped it around her body, emptying the tub, and then making her way back into the bedroom.
Once in the bedroom and all dried up with her towel, Kira put on her nightgown and hung the towel where it ought to be. She started heading towards the bed to get a good sleep but stopped.
“That would be really nice,” she thought, turning around and walking back to the wardrobe.
As she opened the wardrobe, she inhaled and took out Bryan and Aiden’s shirts. She took as many as she wanted, and carried them to the bed. Kira arranged her mates’ shirts on the bed, smiling all the while she did it.
And when she was done, she clasped her hand and laid down on the bed with the shirts around her. She held some close, hugging them, while some were under her cheek like a pillow.
“Just a few more nights,” she told herself, nestling in more with a smile on her face. “They will be back.”
Their scent from their clothes made her feel more relaxed, and she also felt so comfortable, hugging the shirts tighter. Though she missed them deeply, more than she could ever imagine, this should be enough for now.
Within moments, sleep claimed her.
