I blinked at her.

Baby girl, at this point, I’m so fucking in love with you, I don’t think it would matter if you were six hundred pounds and covered in boils. I would still be obsessed with you.

Of course, I didn’t say any of that.

But from the way she was frowning at me, she could tell by the look on my face that I was thinking it.

Or at least something along those lines.

Shaking my head to rid myself of all these intense emotions that I could barely process during normal waking hours, let alone at four in the morning, I stepped forward and yanked open the shower door.

The water had warmed up enough now that the glass was just starting to steam, and I stepped in next to Cass.

“Uhm, I guess you’re getting up with me then? I’m heading out in five, so…”

She moved to step past me, but I shook my head, grabbing her by the arm and gently spinning her back against the shower wall.

She squealed and slapped me playfully in the shoulder as I pinned her down with a knee between her legs.

“What do you say you take this morning off, hmm? I’ll give you a workout right here.” I smirked.

She looked up at me, all wet and clean with tiny dew drops clinging to her long lashes…

God. I just wanted to tear my beating heart out of my chest and give it to her.

“Theodora, I need to burn six hundred active calories to close my activity ring. I don’t think a round of sex with you is going to quite cut it,” she pouted.

I laughed, burying my face in her neck and peppering her with nips and kisses until she was squirming and giggling in my arms.

“Who said anything about one round? It’s four in the fucking morning, Cassandra. Orgasms burn calories, you know. I’m sure I can give you six hundred rings of orgasms before you need to be at work for seven…”

To punctuate my point, I slipped my hand between her thighs and carefully worked a finger inside her.

My eyes fluttered as I realized she was already wet again.

Always so wet for me… fuck.

“It’s six hundred active calories to close one ring,” she griped breathily, but as I ground the heel of my palm into her clit, I knew I had her.

She was already tilting her hips up in an attempt to get me to go deeper, and I was more than happy to oblige.

“I thought that’s what I said?” I hummed, nipping her ear lightly and grinning at how easy it was to make her shiver.

“Okay, fine. I suppose I can take one day off. I’ll just go on Saturday instead…” she mused, and I chuckled.

So militant.

“Perfect. Get ready for round one then, baby. You can time it if your drill sergeant ass needs something to track,” I muttered, dropping to my knees and tossing one of her legs over my shoulder.

“Theo!” she gasped as I wrapped my lips around her clit and plunged my fingers back inside her.

I almost wish she had timed it, just so I could gloat later about how quickly I was able to get her to come for round one.

Smiling to myself, I ignored her overstimulated twitching as I started to work her up for round two.

Fuck… I was so happy.

I could even get used to getting up at four am if this was how I started every day.
