I USED TO FIND THE MORNING AFTER I SLEPT WITH SOMEONE CRINGEY. MOSTLY
because it was always a mistake. It was never my intent to stay over, to be small
spoon, a man’s muscly arm my pillow as I slept. But as with everything when it
comes to Ren, each morning since our first night has proved deliciously
different.
I woke up to a hand slipping between my legs. Hot, warm kisses painting my
neck. Another time, gently laid on my back. Others, turned on my stomach.
Always a warm mattress beneath me, gentle hands massaging my stiff joints. An
eager, already expert mouth and fingers and body spiraling me to glorious
orgasms, sending light exploding beneath my eyelids just like the sun cresting
the horizon.
That’s the first—and my favorite—part of our routine. The second is a
morning walk, at least while the weather is warm enough.
I stroll along the sand, watching the ocean breeze whip Ren’s hair into a mad
fury of sunrise-copper waves. I hold his arm to steady myself, and I feel my
body loosen, my joints open with each step across firm, cool sand.
“I was out cold last night when you came home,” I tell him.
Ren glances down at me and smiles. “Oh, I know. I heard you snoring the
moment I came in.”
I glare at him. “I’m congested.” His face tightens in concern. “Allergies,
Zenzero.”
“Hm.” He glances away.
“How was Shakespeare Club?”
I almost died of the cuteness last night. I got my quiet night, curled up on the
couch with Pazza, but first I got a goodbye from the sweetest dork that lives.
There he was, a well-loved mass-market of As You Like It shoved in his back
jeans pocket, massive tray of baked goods from Viggo tucked in his arms. And a
secretive, delighted glint in his eye that I’d never seen before.
As if the universe is set to prove me wrong, Ren peers down at me, cat eyes
crinkled with that same conspiratorial sparkle. Leaning to press a soft kiss to my
temple, he murmurs, “It was fun.” The words buzz softly against my hair, before
he straightens and glances ahead.
Pazza tears off after a gull, barking madly, and when it soars into the sky, she
drops glumly to her haunches.
