Spicing Up A Life

It’s been a week since Saffron started working again, and by this point, the orange unicorn was completely healthy. Before you realized it, a total of 9 months passed since you started working at the Tasty Treat. Coriander and Saffron have treated you like you were a part of their family. It made you feel more appreciative about your life after all that had happen to you back home.

As far as you were concerned, your old home was dead to you and this new home you live in gives off a far better atmosphere than anything you have ever imagined.

Today you were expecting a visit from Princess Celestia, as well as her husband, Prince Platinum. Not only them, Celestia’s younger sister, Princess Luna and her husband, Prince Nebula would be coming over too.

You’ve never seen the royal sisters before, but Saffron told you that both of the princesses are very kind and gentle and that the same could be said for their husbands. That was more than enough to ease any worries you had and you focused on cooking.

Yesterday, as thanks for taking care of her, Saffron showed you how to make her spicy flat noodle soup. She told you that whenever she got depressed as a filly, her father would always make this delicious soup to cheer her up.

“Your cooking skills are truly remarkable,” Saffron commended as she hugged you from behind. You smiled as you felt the beautiful unicorn snuggle against your back for a few seconds before she released you.

“Thank you Saffron,” you said as you gave put the completed noodles in a bowl and gave it to her. “Though I honestly can’t take all the credit. You’re the one who showed me how to make these noodles after all.”

After she let out a giggle, Saffron sat down and started eating her noodles. You soon joined her after preparing two more bowl for yourself and Coriander, who was already sitting at the table.

“The princesses said they’ll be able to arrive later tonight. It’ll be a wonderful opportunity to show them how well you can cook, my boy,” Coriander said with a big smile.

“Let’s not forget, they’re also bringing their children over as well. You should feel proud of yourself for the hard work you’ve done for us and this restaurant, Rasoiya,” Saffron added before giving you a wink.

“Rasoiya? What’s that?” you asked.

“It’s Hindi for “Cook.” That’s the nickname I came up for you. Do you like it?” she asked. The languages in this world seem to be the same as the ones back home.

You thought for a moment and smiled. “Actually I do. When did you have the time to come up with that nickname?” you asked before you began eating the noodles.

Saffron shrugged, “Earlier this morning when I woke up. I knew you’d like it,” she said, beaming with joy. Coriander seemed to be just as happy as you turned your attention to him.

“My boy, you’ve been nothing but a great big help to us since the day we hired you, not just in the kitchen, but at my daughter’s bedside as well.”

You blushed a bit at Coriander’s praise, but smiled as well. “Well, to be honest, I should be thanking you guys for taking me in as you’ve been like family to me. I have a very promising job in the cooking business, a nice comfortable home to sleep in and I have a very talented friend to work with. It may have gotten a little bumpy at times, but we’ve all managed to pull through.”

“So very true, Rasoiya. I’m sure the princess and her family will think so, too, once they arrive. It’s not every day that the ruler of Equestria stops by The Tasty Treat.” Saffron says.

“Speaking of which, it looks like the moon is rising high in the sky. The princesses will be here any minute, so I’ve got to set up the tables while you two get in the kitchen. After all, Princess Celestia is our honored guest,” Coriander says.

You nodded. “Point taken. Come on, Saffron, let’s give the princesses the best home cooking we can offer!” you say, enthusiastically.

Saffron put on her most determined expression, which from your point of view, looked so cute. But now was not the time to flirt and chat, you and Saffron made your way into the kitchen while Coriander went into the dining hall and set up a reserved table and waited patiently for the guests of honor.

A few minutes pass and soon, the front door opened up. As expected, Princess Celestia walks in with a proud smile. Next to her was her husband, Prince Platinum. Celestia was holding her daughter, while Platinum held his son. You could tell the two kids were twins, hungry twins for that matter.

Following them close behind was Celestia’s sister, Princess Luna and her husband, Prince Nebula, who was holding his son. The prince and princess of the night looked around, smiling at the wonderful decor and at their gracious host, Coriander.

Doing his role as the host, Coriander greeted the royal guests and showed them to their seats. Meanwhile, you and Saffron waited for the married couple to place their orders. While you waited, Saffron glanced over at you, only this time, she didn’t turn away when you looked back at her. She instead gave you the cutest giggle you’ve ever heard.

“Order up, one family-sized serving of vegetable enchiladas!” Coriander called out. Saffron started up the stove and the oven while you gathered the ingredients and got to work on the dish, carefully adding the right type and amount of ingredients to the dish. Saffron has the oven preheated and then helped you out with the rest of the dish.

Once it was done, you placed the enchiladas in the oven. Meanwhile, Saffron went and got out some cups.

You checked to see how the family was holding up. Princess Celestia and Prince Platinum were both bottle feeding their kids. Saffron filled up the cups with water and gave them to her father to give to the guests.

“Why thank you,” Princess Celestia said kindly before taking a sip of the cold water.

“You were right, honey. This place is amazing.” Prince Platinum said, taking a sip of his water. “If the host is this friendly, I wonder how the cooks are.”

“It’s always nice to go out like a family every once in a while. Performing our royal duties can be so agonizing, isn’t that right, dear Nebula?” Luna asked.

“You got that right, honey. I heard about this place a couple times before. I only regret not checking out the Tasty Treat sooner.” Nebula replied.

“I’m very glad you like it here, your highness.” Coriander said causing Celestia, Platinum, Luna and Nebula to chuckle.

“No need to be so formal, Mr. Masala. At the end of the day, we’re all equals, so you can just call us by our names,” Platinum smiled.

A few minutes later, while Coriander conversed with the princesses and princes, you and Saffron took the enchiladas out of the oven and laid them down on the stove. You got a few plates out from the cupboards while Saffron cut up a large portion of the enchiladas and served them on the plates.

“Come on, Rasoiya, let’s not keep our guests waiting,” Saffron instructed, smiling.

“Right behind you, Saffron.” you replied.

You and Saffron took the plates with you and entered the dining room where Celestia and Platinum were waiting. The two rulers looked your way, giving you and Saffron warm smiles. You both placed their food on the table.

“My sincerest apologies for the wait, but we hope you enjoy yourselves,” Saffron said.

“If there’s anything else you need, just let us know anytime,” you replied. Before you could walk away, Celestia got your attention.

“I don’t believe we’ve met, have we?” she asked.

“Not until now, my good friend, Saffron here calls me by Rasoiya. I’ve been working here at the Tasty Treat for these past few months.”

The royal family was impressed at how much you treasured food.

“Is that so? Would you care to share your story with the rest of us?” Luna asked.

“I’m curious, too,” Celestia said.

“I don’t see why not, as long as you’re okay with it, Coriander,” you said as you pulled over a nearby chair and sat down.

“Of course, my boy, it’s only fair they get to hear your story.” Coriander chuckled.

Thanks to his approval, you, Coriander and Saffron took your seats. Everyone’s eyes and ears locked on you as you explained every single detail on how you ended up in Equestria. The princesses felt shocked about the noble act you pulled back home before you arrived and smiled when you explained the time you applied at the Tasty Treat and even helped look after Saffron when she got sick.

Speaking of Saffron, every time she would hear you praise her, she would giggle and hide her blushing face. Celestia and Luna could tell what Saffron was thinking and they didn’t need magic to see it.

After you finished telling your story, the princesses and the princes felt a whole new respect towards you. You were very specific about how you felt about food and how you respected all your ingredients when you cook.

The proof made itself clearer in the food you and Saffron made them. They told you how the food tasted like it was made from the heavens. That comment made Saffron grab a hold of your hand and smiled at you.

“Aww, it seems this young lady has been smitten,” Luna said, teasing her.

“Lulu, it’s not polite to tease our host,” Celestia said, elbowing Luna slightly.

“M-My apologies, Tia.” Luna replied, smiling nervously. It was at that moment that everyone broke out into laughter.

And so, the four rulers of Equestria soon finished their dinner and left some bits on the table as well as a 4 bit tip before giving their thanks and walking out of the Tasty Treat. With the moon high in the sky, the Tasty Treat was ready to close for the night. Coriander went over to the front door and switched the “open” sign to “closed” and walked back to the dining area.

You let out a sigh as you managed to make a good first impression to the rulers of Equestria. Even though Saffron told you they’re both fun loving rulers, you wanted to be sure not to embarrass anyone. Luckily you managed to keep your cool during the entire visit.

Looking at the plates on the table you smiled. Not a single leftover was left as apparently the rulers don’t like to waste food either. Princess Celestia even told you that she likes to cook herself primarily pancakes which she shares with the rest of her family.

She even explained how even though there were at least 5 to 7 stacks of pancakes on each plate, they left no crumbs left on their plates. Although, with their husbands, they could only handle 2 pancakes, being how they’re still human. But even though their husbands were still human, they somehow achieved immortality and eternal youth, a feat you thought was impossible to achieve until death. You were surprised that they still kept their healthy figures after a large breakfast.

You stopped to look at Saffron who had completely got over her illness. It satisfied you that she was nursed back to health thanks to you and Coriander giving her the medicine and vegetable soup you made for her. Lately however your thoughts about her were... changing. You’ve lately been seeing her as more than just a co-worker or a good friend.

“Alright, you two. Good work.” Coriander said. His voice snapped you out of your thoughts and you gave him your attention.

“Father, do you need help cleaning up the dining room?” Saffron asked. You were about to ask the same thing as quite a few plates needed to be washed.

“No no, dear, you and Rasoiya go on ahead and just get some rest, I’ll clean up everything, including the kitchen.”

“Wait, are you sure you want to clean up this entire restaurant? I don’t mind helping out with closing up shop,” you replied but Coriander cut you off with a raised hand.

“It’s alright. I could use the exercise, hopefully I can burn off a couple of pounds. You and Saffron go on ahead and rest up for tomorrow. You’ve both earned it.”

You could feel Saffron’s hand wrap gently around yours, but you didn’t say anything. You gave a sigh and smiled at Coriander, deciding to take his advice. Just then, Saffron yanked on your arm and guided you upstairs to where the doors to your room and Saffron’s room were. At first, you thought she was gonna let go of your arm and she’d go into her room, but instead, she brings you into her room.

You raised an eyebrow as you were brought to her bed, but Saffron looked away as if she was embarrassed.

“Saffron, what’s going on?” you asked gently turning her head to look at you. You could see her blushing.

You sat on the bed and the orange unicorn before you did the same.

“Rasoiya, I don’t know how to explain this to you, so I’m just going to say it.” Saffron paused and took a deep breath before spilling the beans. “You see, Rasoiya, during these last few months, you’ve constantly amazed me not just with your cooking but how you cared for me when I was sick for a whole week.”

By this point you could see tears appear in her eyes, but you kept silent. Sniffing a few times, Saffron leaned onto your chest before she continued. You can tell she needed comfort, so you gave her a warm hug, patting her on the back, gently. Unbeknownst to you, these were tears of joy.

“There, there, Saffron. Just let it all out, I’m right here,” you said, sincerely.

“It always makes me smile when you comfort me like this. I’ve never met somepony as kind and considerate as you. But you’re mistaken...” she suddenly began giggling, much to your confusion.

“These are tears of joy...”

“I guess I should’ve known,” you said sheepishly.

“It’s alright,” Saffron giggled.

“I suppose I should be honest as well, I was scared and confused when I woke up in this world,” you began as you placed a hand on hers, causing her to jump slightly at the contact.

“I never suspected we would have so much in common when we first met each other. However when that snob was insulting your food, I couldn’t just stand there and do nothing. My suspicions turned out to be correct as I met someone who treasures each ingredient of her cooking with the equal amount of love and respect they deserve. Meeting someone like you was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

More tears came as you finished your speech. For a few minutes, Saffron couldn’t find the power to speak and she just looked into your eyes with adoration. Taking a deep breath, she finally decided to speak again.

“Y-You really mean all that?” she asked quietly and you smiled and nodded. Placing a hand on her mane, you felt the soft texture between your fingers.

“Every word,” you assured as you continued to stroke her mane.

“Then I guess there’s only one thing left for me to say.” Saffron then grabs your hands and looks into your eyes with her beautiful smile and blushing face. Looking at her beauty, you felt yourself began to blush as well.

“Rasoiya... I love you.”

“I-I...” you stuttered, still blushing as you did so. Saffron just smiled and waited for you to say it.

“I love you too...” you finished. In addition to blushing, your eyes began to form tears because of this newfound affection for the mare.

You didn't know it but Coriander was outside Saffron’s room and he heard the entire thing. A smile came to the host as his daughter has found her soulmate.

Without you or Saffron noticing, he carefully closed the door. By some miracle, he managed to do so without making any noise.

Even though you and Saffron confessed your true feelings towards each other, you weren’t quite sure what to do next. However Saffron seemed to have an idea as she looked at you with lidded eyes. You knew what was coming.

“S-Saffron... I uh...” you began stuttering again, making the lovely young mare giggle. Before you could say anything else, Saffron closed the distance between the two of you... with a kiss. You felt your heart racing from the feeling of Saffron’s soft lips against yours.

You slowly laid back with Saffron still occupying your lips with hers. You gently caressed Saffron’s beautiful hair and her beautiful body. Saffron’s tongue began to glide against your teeth, begging for entrance. You grant her access, opening up your mouth and thrusting your tongue into her mouth.

Saffron moaned in the kiss and grabbed the hem of your shirt, trying to take it off. You break the kiss and help her out by taking off your shirt and tossing it off the bed. Saffron blushed intensely.

“Rasoiya, you look so... handsome,” Saffron said, rubbing your chest. You also blushed, looking away, embarrassed.

“Aww, come on now. You’re making me blush,” you said, sheepishly.

Saffron giggled. “I think it’s cute how you’re so embarrassed. I love that about you,” she said as she takes off her own shirt. As it comes off, her bouncing F-cup breasts start to hang loose, but were still contained in their bra prison.

“Have... Have you ever done it before?” she asked.

You shook your head. “Is this your first time?” you ask back.

“Y-Yes...” she replied taking your hand and placing it on her breast. “Let’s take it slowly... I’m still a little nervous to jump to the main event,” she whispered.

“Sure thing, Saffron,” you said, rubbing her bra-covered bosom. The unicorn mare gasped and shuddered. She was grateful at how you’ve been doing your best to not be so rough with her from the start.

Using her magic she unclipped her bra for you, causing her breasts to bounce. You lean up to kiss her cheek before you resumed massaging her exposed bosom. Saffron moaned a little louder and blushed rose red.

“You’re so beautiful...” you whispered kissing her cheek again.

“Y-Y-You’re such a t-t-tease, you know?” she whispered back, before letting out a shaky giggle. You gave her even more pleasure by leaning down and sucking on her nipple. Feeling your gentle but pleasurable sucks, Saffron gasped and hugged you tightly.

As all this was happening, you of course noticed the tightness that was beginning to form between your legs. You weren’t the only one who knew, as Saffron Masala placed her hand on your knee and began to rub it.

Your moans were muffled when she started rubbing you. “S-So you’re sensitive as well I see,” she teased.

You let go of your breast and look up at her. “W-Without a d-doubt,” you admitted moaning a little. You noticed that your pants were glowing and you looked to see Saffron was using her magic yet again. In a quick flash of light, your pants were poofed onto the floor. The little tent in your boxers definitely caught Saffron’s attention.

“Oh my!” she exclaimed as she looked at the bulge. With a sigh, you sit up a little so you could pull your boxers off, revealing your manhood to your new marefriend. Saffron couldn’t stop looking and had this urge wanting to touch it. “I-It’s so... big.”

Looking at you for permission, you gave her a slow nod and a smile. Saffron proceeded to grab your hard shaft and gave it a few strokes. You moaned in response to her velvety touch. Before she could go any farther than that, she lit up her horn again and poofed her long skirt and panties onto the ground with the rest of the clothes.

Immediately, you felt your whole face turn 5 shades of red. You almost felt a nosebleed come, but you managed to keep control. “S-Saffron, you look so... beautiful,” you whispered stroking her cheek affectionately.

Saffron smiles from the compliment and nuzzles her cheek into your hand. Beforelong, she gently lays you back down on her bed and moves herself down to where she was eye-to-eye with your hardened shaft.

“I-Is it alright if I try something?” Saffron asked.

“S-Sure, what do you have in mind?” you asked back.

She didn’t say anything, but instead leans down until she’s a few inches away from your shaft. She grabs her two large melons and mashes them together between your stick and starts licking the tip. You didn’t expect to get this kind of treatment, but it felt so good. She kept playfully squishing your manhood with her large pillows while licking the tip like it were a popsicle.

“Are you... sure you’ve never done this before...?” you asked playfully.

“Yes, but I’ve sort been having... a few wet dreams before and... well... this is one of the kinks I picked up from them that I wanted to try out. Is it good enough for you?” she asked looking up hopefully.

“Yeah, I didn’t think a having a tittyfuck would feel this good,” you said, before covering your mouth with embarrassment. This of course didn’t escape Saffron’s vision.

Letting out a giggle, she continues with giving you her special treatment. She moved her breasts up and down on your shaft while sucking on it. She swirled her tongue around the tip, causing you to moan a little loud. You try to keep quiet by covering your mouth so Coriander doesn’t hear you.

Saffron just loved how adorable your expression was when you’re embarrassed. She sucked on your shaft a little fast while tightly mashing it between her cleavage. She let out muffled moans on the tip of your cock, leaving goosebumps all over your body. You still kept your hand over your mouth so you wouldn’t alert Coriander.

Your legs started to twitch violently, signalling Saffron you were about to give in. She stops what she’s doing and moves upwards before laying herself down on the pillow next to you. You tried catching your breath, panting heavily. You were sweating a little, but not too much.

“Rasoiya?” she asked, getting your attention. You see her still blushing a little, though her smile had disappeared. She points down to where her marehood is at. “I-It’s your turn now...”

You gulped nervously and hesitated at first, but you summed up the courage and made your way down in between Saffron’s long, slender legs. You glimpsed down at her delicate flower.

Giving a gentle squeeze on her flower cutie mark, you leaned down and started slowly licking her pussy lips. Unlike you, Saffron didn’t bother covering her mouth when she let out a cute moan. Her juices tasted so sweet and slightly spicy. You were captivated by the taste and wanted more.

“Your cooking isn’t the only thing that tastes good, Saffy,” you chuckled, having just come up with an affectionate nickname for your marefriend. Saffron’s adorable, blushing smile is proof enough that she’s okay with it. You soon went back to eating out her marehood. Moving your tongue in a pattern, like spelling out the alphabet.

It was when you hit “G” that made her yelp. You felt bold and grabbed Saffron by the upper thighs and lifted her lower body up while sitting on your knees, diving your tongue deep inside her love tunnel. Saffron gasped and moaned, gripping her bed sheets. On a few random occasions, you flicked your tongue against her clit. Saffron threw her head back, yelping louder. You probably found her weak spot.

Naturally, you kept flicking her clit and she let out more lewd moans, squirming from the unbelievable pleasure. But before she was about to spray your face with her nectar.

“S-Stop, wait!” Alarmed, you pulled away and looked at Saffron Masala with concern. She panted heavily, trying to catch her breath. You waited patiently for her to speak. “I... I’m ready for... the main event...” she panted lightly as she climbed on top of you.

You felt worried for Saffron, as it’s always painful to lose your virginity. “Are you sure you’re ready for this?” you asked, locking your hand around hers.

“Of course I am. You’re the only one that I love the most and I’m willing to take the next step with you. I love you and I trust you with all my heart,” she confesses. “So please... make me a true mare.”

You smile and use your other hand to caress Saffron’s cheek again. “As you wish my love...”

She leaned down and locked lips with you again, hoping to make it less painful by doing so. As your tongues wrestled with each other, you felt Saffron slowly align your shaft with her entrance. She descends onto your manhood, sinking it inside of her love tunnel, breaking past her hymen. You grunted while she whimpered as both of your virginities have left you forever.

Saffron was shaking and whimpering from the pain and her virgin blood flowed down your penis.

“I-It hurts...!” Saffron whispered, as tears ran down her eyes. You cuddled with her to soothe her pain and gave her a few kisses on her forehead and then back on the lips.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m here for you. We’ll take it slow, Saffy...” you assured stroking her soft mane.

“I-It’s funny... I’m so scared and yet... I feel safe. T-Thank you, Rasoiya...” she says, calmly as she leaned down to nuzzle you. You laughed a little at the ticklish feeling of her fur.

“Okay, here I go.”

After building up enough confidence, Saffron lifts her lower body up a little and then slowly back down on your shaft. The pain was still there, but it wasn’t as bad as before.

You moaned at the tight sensation of her marehood around your shaft and squeezed one of her butt cheeks. It was after you felt the pillowy feeling of her rear that you began to start your own rhythm.

“W-We’re... We’re doing it... Rasoiya, we’re having sex...” Saffron moaned in pleasure. Her hips synced with yours in a slow and steady pace. There was no lust between you two, only love. Pure love and trust.

You felt like the happiest man alive. Once you were a lonely cook in a foul, rotten world, now you’re a happy man living and bonding with the most attractive mare of your dreams who shares your love for cooking. Looking at the orange unicorn before you, you intended to treat Saffron with love and care for as long as you lived.

“I-I’m so glad we found each other...” you moaned as you went back to stroking Saffron’s purple hair which has become quite messy, not that you cared. Saffron didn’t care either, as she was too lost in her own world. Without even thinking, she would increase her rhythm on your shaft.

“M-Me t-t-too...” she replied. She then combined her bouncing with her grinding, causing her large breasts to bounce up and down. As she leaned up a little bit, you gave in and gave her breasts a good squeeze.

“Oh yes! They’re all yours! Do what you want with them!” she shouted.

You continued to squeeze and fondle her two large melons and even rubbed her nipples. Saffron blushed a deep crimson for her little outburst, which amused you.

“You’re so adorable, Saffy,” you chuckled. From your prospective, she looked even cuter when she tried to cover up her face, but didn’t stop moving on top of you.

“D-Don’t tease me like that!” she begged, making you feel a little guilty. You had the chance to take control, but rather than become the dominant one, you leaned up and hugged Saffron, synchronizing your hips with hers in a hug-fuck position.

“I’m sorry. You know I’m only playing, I love you very much,” you whispered before kissing her on the cheek. You kept humping away while you and Saffron conversed with each other.

“Y-You make it h-hard to stay mad at you...” Saffron giggled before letting out another loud moan. You felt her inner walls squeezing your shaft tightly. It was hard to pull out of her at this point, but even so, you kept thrusting into her with passion and love.

“A-Are you okay Saffy?” you asked grabbing one of her breasts.

“Mmm, I feel great, Rasoiya...” she replied, adoring the way you caressed her bust. After you let go, Saffron decided to rest her head under your chin. After nuzzling into you for a few seconds, Saffron pulled away so she could kiss you yet again.

But as your love-making session carried on, you felt your climax getting closer. Feeling her marehood tighten even more, you presumed that Saffron wasn’t too far behind.

“S-Saffron, I... I gotta...!” you groaned and tried to raise her off of your lap.

“N-No, don’t take it out! Keep it inside me!” she moaned.

“But w-what if you...?” but she cut you off.

“I don’t care. As long as it’s you, it’s fine,” she said sweetly. With that Saffron, began to ride on you faster than before. At this point, you knew trying to stop her was futile. Saffron pinned you down, pressing her hands on your chest and slammed her hips down on your lap, sending your shaft deeper inside of her love cave.

The only thing you could do was grab her hips and thrust upwards. Your breathing was getting heavy and her moaning grew louder to the point where some of the residents might hear you, but neither of you cared.

“S-Saffy...!” you groaned, but it was too late. You then felt your climax hit its peak and shoot up into her womb with each spurt. Your shaft was twitching and shot more and more of your seed inside your marefriend. Saffron moaned loudly at the top of her lungs and sprayed her love juices all over your crotch. Her nectar spilled onto her bed sheets, leaving a huge stain.

Having ran on empty, you were left panting heavily, dripping in sweat. You stare up at your lovely mare who lifted herself off of your manhood with a content smile. Her fur was drenched in sweat and her beautiful, poofy hair was all messy but none of that mattered to you. Scooting over so she could lay beside you, Saffron levitated the sheets over both of you.

“That was quite an experience to say the least...” you sighed as Saffron giggled sweetly.

“Yes, and I couldn’t possibly be happier. Not only do I have you in my life to love and care for, I sense that something even more special will be coming into our lives very soon,” she said, grabbing your hand and rubbing it against her soft belly. “But you know, even if we don’t succeed at first, we can always try again, right?”

You chuckled and rubbed her hair with your other hand, making it even messier than it already was. “Of course. Fill me in though, what do you think it’ll be if we end up having a child?”

“Well... I’m hoping we have a handsome baby colt. Though, a beautiful daughter would be nice too, maybe even twins. I just can’t decide.”

“If we do have a daughter I’m sure she’ll be as lovely as her mother here,” you teased giving her nose a bop.

Saffron giggled. “Oh you. Though, if we end up with a son, I’m sure he’ll grow up to be as handsome as his father,” she said, reflecting your playful tone. Then, she felt the fatigue get to her and let out a yawn.

“Good night, Rasoiya. I love you...”

“Good night, Saffy, I love you, too...”

With one last peck on the lips, you cuddled up close to Saffron Masala and thought about what the future will hold for the two of you. Who knows, maybe one of these days, you and Saffron could one day join together... in holy matrimony. There was no doubt, she would make a lovely wife and a great mother.

After that last thought, the fatigue took its toll on you and you fell asleep with a bright smile.

The next morning you and Saffron woke up from a delicious smell coming from downstairs. Yawning, you looked at Saffron, who of course was still naked and so were you.

“Morning Saffy,” you said, smiling warmly.

“Good morning to you, too, Rasoiya,” she replied, rubbing your cheek. Sharing a quick kiss, the two of you got up to get dressed. It was still early and there would still be a few hours before the restaurant opened. More than enough time to get some breakfast.

Getting a towel to cover yourself, you walked back to your room and went through your closet for fresh clothes. You took out a long-sleeved, blue shirt with a black trim and some blue jeans.

Walking back into the hall, you saw Saffron had put on a lovely purple dress. She also fixed up her hair and made it as beautiful and poofy as before.

“That’s a beautiful dress you’re wearing, Saffy.” you complimented causing her to smile and bat her eyes at you.

“I was hoping you’d like it. I picked this out to show it off just for you,” she said.

“Well, I think it looks gorgeous on you. Come on, let’s go see what Coriander’s cooking up,” you said walked up to Saffron and held her hand gently. She nods and follows you down the stairs. But then something hit you. “Hmm, you know. I don’t think I’ve ever seen your father cook. Is there any particular reason why he might be cooking now?”

“Usually when it’s for some special occasion. Maybe I’ll go talk to him and see why,” she explains, making you even more curious.

You both reached the bottom of the steps and made your ways into the kitchen, where Coriander was cooking up some hash browns and vegetable omelettes.

Coriander looked over in your direction with a warm smile. “Good morning, you two lovebirds. I trust you had a good night sleep last night.” he said.

“Y-Yeah, of course.” you nodded.

“Father, is there any reason why you’re cooking us breakfast?” Saffron asked.

“Why yes. You see, I noticed how you and Rasoiya became so close to each other and from all the noise I heard up there, you must really love him, don’t you?” Coriander asked.

Saffron felt her whole face turn red and she looked down at the floor in embarrassment. “O-Of course, I love Rasoiya very much. I love him so much that we-”

“I know, I know, you don’t have to explain. I could clearly heard you two moaning and screaming from all the way across the hallway. Anyways, since you two accepted each other, I thought it would be nice to make this delicious breakfast for you. As for you, Rasoiya,” he looks over in your direction.

“Y-Yes sir?” you reply with a hint of nervousness.

“I want you to know something. My daughter Saffron means the whole world to me and for you to show your true feelings towards her makes me feel like I can trust you. You’re a very good man and an excellent cook. So if you ever happen to propose to my daughter, then all I can say is “Welcome to the family.”

With Coriander’s approval, you felt more at ease and hugged Saffron with one arm. Saffron leans into you crying with joy.

“Thanks… Thanks for accepting me… There’s nothing in the world that would make me even happier... “Dad.”

You and Coriander shared a good laugh after you said that. After getting that off your shoulders, now was good a time as any to sit down and eat your breakfast with your new, loving family. Or, your soon-to-be family, once you find the time to propose to Saffron.
