real laugh I’ve heard from her.

“Do you have to hit the gym?” she asks

“Yeah, the kids will be waiting. Come with?” I can’t protect her if she’s not with me, but I think I want her to come for other reasons—selfish ones.

She checks the clock. “Actually, it’s still early. I don’t have to be at the set for an hour, so yes, I’d love to.”

I lean over her, my body wanting more which is insane. After numerous rounds of sex last night and very little sleep, I want her again. I press my lips to hers for a good morning kiss. I kind of like being the last one to kiss her before she goes to bed, and the first one to kiss her when she wakes.

My stomach takes that moment to grumble, and she chuckles into my mouth. “Uh oh, it’s past feeding time. Should I be worried you’re going to get hangry on me?”

“Nah, you’re good. Come on, let’s go see if there’s any food in this place.”

I pull her blankets down to expose her gorgeous naked body, and note the marks from my mouth on her skin. A grumble rumbles in my throat. I lightly touch her skin. “I’m going to kiss these all better tonight,” I say.

“I’m going to hold you to that, but they don’t hurt.”

I stand, circle the bed and pull her to me. She wraps her arms around me, and I slide my hands down her back until I’m cupping her gorgeous backside. My cock thickens more, and she chuckles and squirms away.

“I will not be responsible for your class being late today, so go.” She points to the stairs and scoops her clothes off the floor.

I tug on my hair. “You’re right. You go ahead and jump in the shower and I’ll find us some food. I’m going to shower after class.”

I tug on my jeans from last night and head to the main level. As I rummage around in the cupboards and fridge, I notice that it’s all been recently stocked. Thanks Gram. I know she wants this for me, and for herself, and I hope she’s not too disappointed when Haven leaves at the end of the shoot.

I pull out some eggs, and bacon and put the coffee on as Haven jumps in the shower. Down by the dock, the boat rocks gently, and I glance out over the calm water. Maybe tonight Haven would like to go for a starlit tour of the lake.

The shower turns off and I plate our food. She comes out fully dressed, towel drying her hair. “Look at you, all domesticated,” she says. She takes a sip of coffee and drops down into the chair. “Did Gram teach you to cook?”

“I lived alone for many years, and I like food, so I learned.” She cuts into her bacon and takes a bite. As the fork slides into her mouth, and she moans around it, my dick thickens.

“This is delicious. I don’t cook very much. I’m not great at it.”

“I can teach you a few things.”

“You know I’m a fast learner.”

I grin at her, and dig into my food. After we eat, we set the dishes into the sink for later and jump into the truck. Her eyes are on me as I make my way out to the road.

“Thanks, Ty,” she says so softly, so quietly, I almost miss it.

I reach across the seat and capture her hand. “You okay?”

She looks away, glancing out the passenger window. “It’s just so peaceful here. It’s sad that you missed out on so many years coming here.”

“Maybe we can make up for that. I was actually thinking you might like to go out on the boat later. If it’s not too late, we can even do some fishing.”

Her smile wraps around my heart. “I would love that. I’ve never been fishing before.”

“It’s settled then.”

We drive in comfortable silence, our fingers linked together, and I pull up in front of the gym.

“How long have you been coaching the kids?”

“About a year now. There were a couple of local boys up to no good. Messing around with the shop signs, and spray-painting things. I thought maybe they could put all that energy to better use.”

“That’s sweet.”

“Shh,” I say and put a finger to my lips. “Have to keep these kids a bit afraid of me.”

The sun is higher in the sky as we exit the truck and cars pull up to the curb behind me, parents dropping their kids
