Ever since Nary walked into his life, Kano had experienced many firsts and this morning was no exception. He had slept with a lot of women but he never made any of them breakfast, until now.
The only woman he had ever made breakfast for was his mother. He started the tradition when he was six-years-old on Mother's Day. Jack had spent the previous night at his mate's bachelor party and was sleeping in late so he couldn't supervise. At that age, Kano wasn't allowed to use the oven or toaster but he pressed on with his plan anyway. The untoasted slices of white bread were slathered with globs of butter and Vegemite. They had run out of her favorite cereal, Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes but luckily, they still had plenty of his favorite cereal, Coco Pops. To enhance the flavor of Coco Pops, he added two tablespoons of brown sugar. He overfilled the bowl with milk and had done the same with her glass of orange juice nearly flooding the bed tray with both liquids. Still, he remembered seeing how overjoyed his mother was when he walked in with the tray and wished her a Happy Mother's Day. It was only fitting that he cooked breakfast for the two women he loved with all of his heart.
Confusion and disappointment came to Nary upon finding herself alone in bed. Her eyes went to the nightstand where 9:30 shone in red lights.
"Good morning, Darling!" Kano walked in with a bed tray in his hands, "I made all your favorites!" His eyes took in her morning look which consisted of bedhead, no makeup and her donning his black tank top. No matter what state she was in, he always thought she looked gorgeous.
With a luminous smile that reached her eyes, she sat up and cupped her heart, "That's so thoughtful of you but after last night, I feel like I should be the one making you breakfast! You were electrifying!" Her hand stroked his face after he set the bed tray over her lap.
His brow arched while he smirked, "Oh I know! But I wanted to do something special for you that I haven't done before. And eh-well, I also received a call from Silas this morning."
Nary cut a piece of her sausage patty with a fork and knife, "Is everything OK?"
He placed his hand on her thigh, "Yeah, he's fine. There's something wrong with his car and the last mechanic he brought it to really fucked him over. So…"
Resting her hand on top of his, she grinned, "Kano, I don't mind if you leave to fix his car. He's a friend and he needs your help."
"You sure? This trip was supposed to be all about us spending time together and me showing you my favorite places." He broke off a piece of her hash brown and popped it into his mouth.
"Yes, but you don't get to see Silas every day and I can handle being away from you for an hour or so. I'll use that time to buy souvenirs for Kung Lao, Liu and all of our friends." She nodded at him.
He pecked her mouth and smiled, "You're the best, Baby! I promise, I won't take longer than an hour, two at most! And if I do, I'll call to let you know!"
Before taking a sip from her orange juice, she asked, "All right, do you have to leave right now?"
Shaking his head, he told her, "He has a work thing right now so I'll leave in a half hour."
She tipped her head and licked maple syrup off her lips, "After you're finished with his car, where are you taking me?"
He lightly rubbed her thigh, "Well, I'll show you some very important places from me childhood and then, we're going to Rottnest Island for lunch!"
A gleeful gasp left her mouth, "I've never been there before! I can't wait to see the quokkas!"
It made him happy to see her cheerful reaction; he leaned over the tray and pressed a soft kiss on her lips, "You are just as cute as a quokka-scratch that, you're much cuter!"
She kissed him back then asked, "Have you been there before?"
"Yeah, but I was nine and it was for a school field trip. But I've never seen a quokka in person before so this should be a fun day!" He nodded at her but couldn't help himself, "Although, you'll have to deal with one problem."
Her left brow curved, "And that would be?"
Cupping her face, he teased, "How much you're gonna miss me!"
With a scoff, she retorted, "You went through a lightning portal because you couldn't stand being away from me for just a few hours."
Pointing at her, he stated with an arrogant grin, "True…but last night you were the one who whined when I pulled my cock out of you to change positions as we were fucking in the shower. And that was only for what? Two seconds?"
Her eyes narrowed as a pout formed on her full lips. Instead of admitting that he was right, she grabbed a green grape off her plate and threw it at his smug face. His reflexes kicked in making him catch the berry with his mouth, "Better luck next time, Babe!"
Suppressing a smile, she grunted and simply said, "You ass!"
He chuckled, "You're always so cute when you're wrong!" Taking her hand off the bed tray, he brushed his mouth against her knuckles, "but teasing aside, I'll miss being around your lovely self."
Nary took her hand out of his to grasp his face, pecked his lips then leaned her forehead against his, "I've already forgotten who you are."
They shared a small laugh before he kissed her savoring the sweet juicy taste of grapes and maple syrup on her warm lips.
Over two hours later, Kano pulled up in front of their beach house and honked the Jeep's horn. A large smile spread across his face at the sight of Nary walking towards him. The weather was a bit cooler than yesterday's; she was dressed in a light blue open front cardigan, a black scoop neck top, dark denim jeans and slip-on sneakers. She was the only woman in his life who could wear anything and still look beautiful and sexy.
"Did everything turn out OK?" She asked while getting into the car.
"Yeah, it took us some time but I figured out what was wrong with Silas's car and it's all fixed! But enough about that, how has your day been so far?" He grasped her hand.
"Pretty good, I got everyone gifts! And it's comforting to know that nothing changes about the people here. They're all polite and laid-back. So, where are we heading off to?" She brushed his hand with her thumb.
"A place that helped shaped me into the charming and incredible man that you fell madly in love with!" He happily nodded at her.
When he pulled into a parking lot of a lakefront park, she gave him a curious stare and in turn, he promised to explain himself. They walked over to the playground where he then guided her to the swings. She took the center swing while he sat in the one to her right.
With obvious pride, he admitted, "I was seven when I sat in this exact spot and had me first kiss! Her name was Jasmine and she was a cute little brunette with her hair in pigtails."
"Seven? You started young but I'm not the least bit surprised!" She grinned at him.
"I sure did! But since I was a little shit, I couldn't just come out and tell Jasmine that I liked her. So, I pulled her hair, called her names and pushed her around." He admitted with a small laugh.
"Of course, girls have cooties at that age!" She smirked.
He chuckled, "Definitely! And I was an idiot because one day I just kissed her right on her mouth!"
She leaned her head in his direction, "And how did Jasmine react to your surprise advance?"
His lips pulled into a large smile, "She pushed me before kicking me right in the nuts!"
They both laughed and took a few seconds to recover.
"As she should have!" Nary wagged her finger at him and wiped her tears with her free hand.
"Well now I see that but when it happened, I wanted to kick her ass! But her mum and my Mum and Uncle Jack ran over to us. They made me apologize and that night, Mum and Jack taught me about consent and respecting people's boundaries." He admitted with a wistful look on his face.
"It was a teachable moment and one that clearly stuck with you." She grasped his hand.
"Oh it did! After talking to Mum and Jack some more, I felt bad. I drew Jasmine a picture of her favorite flower, daisies and I gave it to her the next day. She loved it!" He said with a pleased grin.
"Well, you are a talented artist! So, was she your first girlfriend?" She lightly bumped her body against his.
Shaking his head, he told her, "Just friends, until her dad got a better job and had to move. But over by that tree," he pointed at the north side of the park, "I had my first date and French kiss with Rea, she was a feisty girl with short curly black hair. I was thirteen and we were in the same school and grade."
Nary saw how pleased he was with himself, "I see and did you make the first move like you did with Jasmine?"
"Rea pulled me into it! And it was fucking great!" Kano nodded, "Then she asked me to get us some ice cream which I did but-uh, when I came back, she was kissing some other boy!"
Her mouth dropped open, "What the hell?"
There was clear irritation in his eyes and voice, "Exactly! It turns out, he was her ex-boyfriend from another school! She wanted to make him jealous and regret cheating on her and it fucking worked!"
Tilting her head, she inquired, "What did he do?"
"The little shit punched me first and we fought. I got a bump on me head and I gave him a black eye and fat lip before two cops pulled us apart. They threatened to arrest us if we didn't go home immediately." His head tipped forward as he touched the spot where the bump was once located.
With wide eyes, she replied, "Wow, teenage drama at its peak and with you as its pawn!"
"Pretty much! Anyway, this happened on a Friday so when I walked into school on Monday Rea tried to apologize but I didn't wanna hear her bullshit." His head turned from side to side.
She liked hearing him talk about his youth and revealing the romantic mishaps he experienced but she had to ask, "Kano, is there another reason why you brought me here?"
After standing up, he offered her both his hands and smiled when accepted them. He pulled Nary onto her feet then wrapped his arms her back as she brought her hands to his chest, "Love, I brought you here because you need to know that you're not only my first love…but you're also the last woman that I will ever kiss!"
His beautiful and genuine admission brought warmth to her heart and an enormous smile to her lips. "Kano," she grasped his face, "I've never loved anyone as much as I love you!" She drew him into a passionate kiss.
He kissed her back with just as much adoration and need. When her hands settled back on his chest, he cupped the back of her head with his right hand. Once he separated his mouth from hers, he grasped her face, "And you never will, Baby. Now, we gotta haul ass or else we won't get to Rottnest in time."
The minute Kano drove into Jandakot Airport, she looked at him with big eyes, "Oh Kano, we don't have to fly there, I'm perfectly fine with taking the ferry."
He waved her off before parking the car, "Babe, it's not a big deal. I want you all to myself and I want us to have the best view! We're getting both because we're taking the scenic flight!"
"It does sound romantic…" She put her red sling bag across her body.
"Because it is, Peaches! I promise, we're gonna have a fucking great time here!" He grinned at her and gave her hand a quick squeeze.
After stepping inside the helicopter, one of the pilots handed them headsets. Once they were in the air, she reached out and grasped Kano's hand where he then planted a kiss on her knuckles. When the helicopter began circling the island, the lead pilot pointed out landmarks. The happy couple were astonished by the shimmering light blue waters, white sandy beaches, rock formations and lush greenery.
They thanked the pilots before exiting the helicopter and boarded a private charter bus. During the drive to their first destination, their driver pointed out notable locations and spoke about their history until they arrived at the Cathedral Rocks viewing platform. A colony of seals were playing and flipping around in the water, only three were sunbathing on the rocks. They were charmed by the adorable animals and took several photos and videos then returned to the bus.
For lunch, they headed to Pinky's Beach Club where they were seated outside at a table made of glass and black wicker; it was topped with a large black and white striped umbrella. They ordered crispy pork belly bites and lobster tacos. As they waited for their food, Kano took a sip from his beer then asked, "So, why didn't you and James ever come here?"
With a shrug, she answered, "I guess it never crossed either of our minds and we spent a lot of time with his family and went to the usual tourist spots on the mainland. And wow, you actually called him by his actual name without using the words 'wanker' or 'tosser'." That's definitely a first!"
Kano rolled his eyes and after a beat, he confessed, "I'll fucking deny this…but before we got together, I was a bit jealous of him."
Nary didn't expect that answer; "He was my ex from over a decade ago and you literally just met me when I told you about him!"
"Sweetface, during those first few days I really wanted to fuck you. James already did and he's also an Aussie! Of course, I'd be jealous of him! Now, I realize how fucking dumb it is…"
Reaching across the table, she clasped his hand, "Kano, I mean it when I say that I've never loved anyone the way I love you. One of the reasons why is because…you understand me in a way that James never did. His moral code is black and white and rigid while I see grays. He wouldn't accept me for who I am now but you always have. And I always held a part of myself back from him, emotionally and physically. With you, I'm truly myself."
Her honest admission compelled him to lean across the table and cover her mouth with an amorous kiss, "Nary, I feel the same exact way. I love every single part of you, even the frustrating parts."
The corners of her lips mischievously turned upwards, "Right back at ya, mate!"
They both laughed until he asked, "So, how does this trip compare to the other times you've been here?"
"This is definitely the best one yet! I've loved everything we've done together so far, in and outside of the bedroom. It's been absolutely perfect!" She held his hand with both of hers.
"It really has and I promise, it'll only get better!" He brought his other hand over and rested it on top of hers.
Following lunch, they headed over to the Family Fun Park and decided to play mini golf. Kano had never played before but Nary bragged about being the best player in her family. By the ninth hole, he was three strokes behind. An idea popped into his head.
"Love, why don't we make this interesting?" He stepped closer to Nary and twirled a strand of her dark hair around his finger.
"What do you have in mind?" With a putter in her right hand, she brought her free hand to his chest.
He continued playing with her hair, "We need to add some stakes to this little game."
She curiously searched his face, "You do know that you're losing right now?"
"Babe, things can change in an instant; I'm quickly learning how to play this game. So, how about it?" He tilted his head.
"I'm in! And the stakes? Winner gets to choose where we have dinner tonight and-…"
"Come on now Cupcake, that's so borin-…"
"He or she also gets to be the dominate one the next time we have sex!" She pressed her body against his.
His lips broke into a cheeky smile, "That's more like it! Aww Buttercup, I'm gonna have so much fun demolishing you!" He gave her shapely backside a little squeeze.
Nary chuckled, "And I'm gonna love wiping that smug smile off your face!" Before she pulled away from him, she gave his left nipple a quick pinch and laughed at him hissing then glaring at her.
Masking his arousal with fake anger, he pointed at her with his putter, "Kitten, I'm gonna make you pay for that later!"
On the eighteenth hole, she got a hole-in-one easily defeating him. She celebrated her overall victory by cheerfully bouncing on the balls of her feet and doing a shimmy with her shoulders. The carefree smile on his face confused her and made her stop dancing.
Giving him suspicious eyes, she asked, "You hate losing! What are you up to, Kano?"
With a shrug, he answered, "True, but I like seeing you be so happy…"
A cute smile touched her lips as she walked over to him, "You can be so sweet sometimes."
"You bring that out of me, Love!" Embracing her waist, he glanced around spotting a young family of four nearby and whispered into her ear, "And I love seeing your beautiful tits bounce."
She appreciated how quickly he learned to be discreet and planted a small kiss on his mouth. Earlier in the game, he had roughly slapped her backside and shouted about how badly he wanted to fuck her. A woman, her young daughter and her elderly mother were at the same hole and voiced their disgust. Nary chastised him and threatened to call off their bet if he made the same mistake again.
"Ya see, Darling? I'm a quick study!" He stroked her lower back.
"Yes and I'm proud but," her lips went to his ear, "I'm still gonna punish you for misbehaving earlier."
Her warm breath and sultry stare sent a chill down his spine, "I look forward to it, Angel!"
Since it was too cold to swim, they removed their shoes and took a leisurely walk on the beach. They held hands while he talked about his school field trip to the quaint island. It was for educational reasons and his class left before the quokkas came out but he wasn't bitter about it. He loved that he was going to share a new experience with her.
As if on cue, a quokka slowly hopped over to them. Nary carefully laid on her stomach and removed leaves from her pocket. Kano got on his knees and used his phone to take video of her feeding the small marsupial. He then snapped photos of them before mirroring her position and joining in on the photo session. The sheer elation he saw on her face brought a brilliant smile to his. And the bliss that was radiating from her spread to his heart as well.
She sat on her haunches and snapped photos of Kano feeding leaves to their new furry friend. Two more quokkas hopped over to him for food and he obliged by handing them each a leaf. A cheerful cackle came from when two of the quokkas kissed his cheeks after finishing their leaves. Nary couldn't help but laugh at how different he looked compared to the first time they met. The alpha male who prided himself on being known as a fearsome mercenary was now acting like a giddy child surrounded by cute critters. Seeing him being unafraid to express pure happiness while doing something so wholesome, it made her fall deeper in love with him.
They reluctantly left the trio of quokkas behind to catch their flight back to the mainland. During their return trip, the sun began setting. He took her hand into his feeling her fingers curling over into a tight grip. The soft content expression on her face matched his; she rested her head on his shoulder. Kano breathed in her sweet silky hair before planting a kiss on top of her head. Not a word was said between them as they enjoyed the breathtaking view together.
For dinner, they went to a casual southeast Asian restaurant located on the other side of town. She thanked their waitress for bringing their order of marinated beef skewers and summer rolls.
Pulling off a piece of beef from the wooden skewer, Nary questioned him, "Kano, are you gonna bring me to any of places from your mercenary days?"
With a loud snort and shake of his head, he replied, "Fuck no! Those places are shitholes and the people there are mongrels!"
She leaned forward, "So, what? You think I can't handle it?"
He pointed at her with the summer roll, "I didn't say that. I know you can take care of yourself. But I'm turning over a new leaf and if I go back to those shitholes the pricks there are gonna try to pull me back in! I don't need that shit, Babe! And I certainly don't wanna drag you into it!"
Nary gave him a slow nod, "That makes sense. So, the chances of us bumping into them here are pretty slim?"
"Definitely! Those fuckwits are on the other side of the country! And that also goes for the women I've fucked!" He told her with a proud bob of his head.
With a quick chuckle, she responded, "That's a relief, I hate drama. And I suppose the benefit of being your only real girlfriend is that I don't have worry about crazy exes showing up and making a scene."
"Not at all, Love! Besides, all those other women would look like shit if they ever stood next to you, Princess!" His hand reached out and caressed her face.
She leaned into his touched and kissed his palm, "You're so good to me."
Just as he was about to respond, he felt her bare foot enter his right pant leg to rub the back of his calf. His body suddenly jerked at the feeling of her foot slipping out of his pants to brush against his inner thigh before grazing his crotch. Excited by her action, he nearly moaned, "Fuuck me, you naughty girl!"
In an innocent tone and matching gaze, she remarked, "I don't know what you're talking about?" She took a sip from her wine glass then winked at him.
Kano scoffed and wondered how he got so damn lucky to end up with a woman like her.
After devouring delicious Hat Yai (Thai style fried chicken) they decided to leave the charming eatery to have dessert elsewhere. With their hands clasped, they stepped onto the sidewalk moving a few paces to their right. Nary pointed with her right forefinger, "There's a highly rated ice cream shop down the street, next to that pub."
"Sounds good, Puddin'. We'll have dessert right now and when we're at home," Kano pulled her body into his wrapping his arms around her waist, "I'll have you as a treat!" He wiggled his brows and licked his lips.
Her finger lightly poked at his chest, "That's if I'll allow you to! Remember, I'm in control tonight and you still need to be punished for what you did during mini golf!"
Before he could respond, a male voice hollered from across the street, "Kano, you motherfuckin' cunt!"
When Kano turned his head towards the scream a full beer bottle was thrown in his direction. He quickly moved himself and Nary out of its path causing the beverage to shatter against the restaurant's brick wall.
