It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:
"So... is Alex really a dom?"
"I like waking up with you already in bed with me. Especially on weekends, pity this isn't one."
He grins. "I really like going to sleep with you and waking up with you and hearing you say nouns every now and then if I fall asleep after you or wake up in the middle of the night."
He grins again. "You're adorable saying random nouns, and they're soothing. It's not even just you being here, 'cause, we're snuggling in bed, I know you're here, but you're also—comfortable? Relaxed? Around me and. I dunno. I like that."
"Good." Pinch. More kiss. She collects her cane and backpack. "Breakfast? Or are you still stuffed from the tasting menu?"
"I got my sense of taste back only a few days ago, I'm not sure I'll ever feel stuffed again."
Isabella sends him to get her hash browns with bacon in and scrambled eggs and OJ. There are some other things, of course.
...Sadde will get all the things for himself. Not a lot of them, but a little of all the things.
