An outing

By morning, he wasn't much closer to answers.

He opened his eyes to see Veronica beside him, still naked but with her stunning body mostly covered by a blanket. He was suddenly proud of himself for not waking her up to suck his cock during the night. It was a low bar, but he had cleared it.

He stared at her for longer than might have been considered acceptable before pushing the thought aside and quietly slipped out to the kitchen.

Veronica woke up some time later. The day's final relaxation blowjob seemed to have been quite effective. John asked, "how are you feeling?"

She smiled, "better."

He was a little sad the answer wasn't "super stressed," but he moved on to breakfast.

Later, the two of them went out to get some groceries. It wasn't until they were in a crowded store that John's own stress level started to rise.

Everyone in the store was a potential predator that could somehow steal and enslave Veronica. He tried to stay calm, but when his eyes met hers, it was clear she was having the same thoughts.

He and Veronica stayed tight together the entire time. The biggest actual incident was saving Veronica from buying some kind of yogurt that was being sampled and the saleswoman had told her was "the best."

Still, the danger seemed very real.

Eventually, they managed to get some groceries and get home.

When they got home, Veronica calmly stripped off her clothes as soon as the door closed. John stared wide-eyed at her ass as she bent over to get her pants off.

A moment later, he realized she had been talking. "Huh?"

She rolled her eyes, "I said, that was intense."

He agreed, "yeah, I was so worried about you and... everybody."

She took a step toward him, ran her hand along the front of his pants, and clarified, "did you not hear the part where I said it stressed me out?"

She slid to the floor as John caught up with the conversation.

They both sighed happily as her lips wrapped around him.

By the time Veronica eagerly swallowed another load, their ice cream had started to melt, but they both thought it was worth it.
