Lifting my arms over my head, I yawn and roll my stiff shoulders. My hand hits something hard and my eyes widen.

“Oof! What the hell, Val!” A grumpy voice by my ear has me gasping for breath.

Struggling to sit up straight, I bring my knee up and a strangled growl hits my ear.

“Oh fuck!”

I’m dropped to the ground and sit up, shoving my blond curls out of my eyes. “Cal?”

His eyes are closed and he’s rolled over onto his side, groaning. “I’m okay,” he whispered. “Just give me a minute.”

“Did I…?” I can’t even finish the sentence. It’s too awful to think. But I groan and drop my head into my hands when he nods his head.

“I’m so sorry, Cal! Oh my god! Are you okay? Can I do anything for you?”

He shakes his head wildly. “It’s okay. Just give me a minute. It’s not that bad.”

I cringe. “I don’t think I believe you,” I whisper.

He’s silent for a minute. Then his head lifts and he meets my eyes. Wincing, I reach out and touch his face lightly, caressing his firm jaw so softly. “I am so sorry.”

“It’s not your fault, kitten. You didn’t do it on purpose.”

I shake my head and tears crowd my eyes. “I didn’t but it still hurts. I can’t bear that I did that to you.”

He sits up with a groan and a weak smile that doesn’t quite reach his pained gaze. “I don’t blame you. You shouldn’t either.”

“At least tell me what I can do to help you.”

A small smile and a soft chuckle. “Baby, you don’t need to do anything. I’m alright. I just need a minute. Trust me. I’ve had worse. It was just a surprise.”

I giggle. “Not a good way to wake up in the morning.”

“No. I have pictured better for sure.”

I cock my head and shoot him a sly look. Like what?”

“Like this?” He leans closer and I feel his warm breath coast across my cheek.

Tingles build in my belly and I whisper, “This does seem nicer.”

His deep chuckle so close to me has fireflies doing dance moves in my belly. Then his lips move closer to mine and he groans right before his mouth touches mine gently, softly.

I part my lips to touch just the tip of his tongue lightly and that’s when it seems like all hell breaks loose. His hand moves to the back of my head and holds tight, bringing me closer until I’m half-dragged back up on the couch and his lips delve deeper, harder. He sucks on my bottom lip and a whine breaks free from my throat.

“I want you, Val,” he whispers, never losing touch with my lips. Reaching out to rake his teeth along my bottom lip.

“Oh, god yes!” I whimper, reaching a hand up to grasp at his dark hair, tugging just a little bit. Just enough that he groans in pain.

He stands up, never letting me go. My legs wrap around his slim hips and I dig my heels into his firm ass. He stumbles forward and we slam into a wall on the way down the hall. I crawl up him until I’m as close to him as I can get, wrapped around him so tight that I’m not sure how he’s able to breathe.

He grinds the hard bulge in his jeans into my aching core and I whine, tugging at his shirt.

“Please, please, don’t make me wait.”

“Never,” he growls, his hands running up and down my body while he holds me up with his own body. My hands trace what feels like miles of corded muscle and warm, tanned skin. It flexes and bunches under my deft fingers and I hiss under my breath.

“Yes,” I beg. “Don’t stop.”
