Chapter 34
Close the door.
Take off your clothes.
Let me see your secrets unfold.
~ -Romeo’s Quest
We moved back into Daniel’s bedroom and fell asleep in one another’s arms. In the morning when I woke up, Daniel was nowhere to be found. But an intense headache was on the forefront. On the pillow next to me a tray. Sitting on it was a water bottle with daisies, a bowl of Cap’n Crunch mixed with marshmallows, a plate with two painkillers, and orange juice.
My smile remained as I watched the morning light seep into the bedroom.
Breakfast in bed. Another first of ours.
I tossed the pills into my mouth and washed them down with some orange juice.
Daniel walked into the room with nothing on but a towel around his waist. The way the cotton hung on his hips made me fully aware of how built he was from top to bottom. There was water dripping down his toned six-pack, and I blushed as I stared. I loved how he still made me blush from time to time. He smirked toward me.
“Good morning.” He walked closer and I reached to him, wrapping my arms around him, pulling his wet body down to me. He lay on top of me, holding me against him. He smelled so fresh, woodsy. I made sure to breathe him all in.
“You got me Cap’n Crunch and added marshmallows?” I asked.
He picked up a piece and placed it between my lips. “It’s your favorite.” He kissed me lightly and I scrunched my face.
“I need to brush my teeth and shower. You’re all fresh and clean. It’s not fair that you’re kissing nasty morning breath.”
“I don’t care,” he laughed at me.
My hands covered my mouth and I turned my head away from him. “I do!”
Daniel stood up and scooped me into his arms, still chuckling. “Then let’s go get you all cleaned up.”
Making love in the shower.
Another first of ours.
