The rainfall continues into Saturday morning, casting a gloomy shade over the land.

Knocking on the door interrupts my sketching and draws me from the window. Thinking it might be Reid, I check my appearance in the mirror to ensure my nipples aren’t straining against my tank.

When I answer the door, Aunt Helena beams at me. I take in her attire, amazed by her toned physique in the black tights and a matching workout top. “Morning, Cassandra. Would you like to join me for yoga?”

“Uh…” Not really. But I am interested in connecting with my aunt. “Sure.”

Her moss-green eyes seem to brighten. “Great. See you in the studio in ten.” She veers off down the hallway.

Rummaging in my suitcase, I grab two loungewear pieces and decide to rock them.

When I enter the yoga studio, Aunt Helena raises her brows at my booty tights and top.

“Are those parts of a bathing suit?” she asks, stretching her arms from side to side.

“No, I didn’t plan on working out while I’m here, aside from skateboarding.”

“Skateboarding? I can’t say I’m surprised.” She motions to the yoga mat next to hers. “We’ll do basic moves since you’re a beginner.”

I wait for her to demonstrate the first pose, which is simple enough for me. We stay in the position for a minute, stretching our limbs, then transition into another.

Honestly, it feels great. My body is loosening up, and I wouldn’t mind doing it again.

“So,” Aunt Helena begins as we switch into the warrior one pose. “Are you excited to start college?”

“I am, and also nervous.”

“It was the best time of my life,” she says, inhaling and exhaling deeply. She guides us onto our mats for the deer position. “A period where I could relax without my father’s presence.”

I consider her statement and ask, “Did you ever feel like my dad? Did you ever want to leave it all behind?”

She looks over, telling me, “No. I want this life. The business and all that comes with it. He didn’t.”

“Hmm.”

After another minute or two, she says, “Seated forward fold.”

Following her movements, I sit with my legs straightened out and bend over to give my back a well-deserved stretch.

We remain in the position until Aunt Helena calls out the next move.

I rise up, fold over, and press my palms to the mat. Gaze between my legs, I see Reid enter the studio. He pauses, his eyes steady on my body.

My skin tingles with heat as he licks his lips, and I remember how short my bottoms are. My buttcheeks are most likely on full display.

Awkward, I snap out of the pose, pivot, and tug at the hem of my short tights while evading his gaze.

Reid harrumphs and shifts in the spot, acting like he wasn’t just staring at my ass.

My aunt stretches out of the position in a much more delicate manner. “Are you over it?”

“Oh, no.” I manage a soft chuckle. “My head started to feel weird from bending over so long.”

She gives me a considerate smile. “It’s because it is your first time.”

“I’m meeting a friend,” Reid informs us.
