“I always get up around this time and check a few things on the property, go over camera footage from the night before, and go for a run.”

“Okay, but we’ve been asleep an hour; surely you can’t do all those things properly on an hour of sleep.”

“I’ve done more on less,” I tell her.

“I have to get up in a few hours to go to the set. We start the press tour in a few days and they want us to come in to prepare for our interviews and take some promotional pictures.” She sighs. “I already know they’re going to be pissed about these bags under my eyes from staying up all night.”

“You look beautiful as always,” I tell her and she fucking does, even minutes after waking up she’s still the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.

“Keep talking like that and looking at me that way and you’re going to have to fuck me before you get up.” She sits up on her elbow and reaches below the blanket to grab my dick when my alarm goes off again. I reach for my phone, turning it off this time before I grab her hand that is wrapped around my dick and bring it to my lips.

“As much as I would love to, I need to do a few things.” There are things I have to do every morning. Things that put me at ease. She frowns before nodding and then I’m off the bed, pulling on my briefs and my slacks and sliding on my shirt before buttoning the buttons in record time. Shay has her blanket wrapped around her and I can tell she has something on her mind. I kneel on the bed and cup her face, raising it to meet my gaze. “What is it?”

She opens her mouth but no words come out and then she lets out a breath. “At the risk of sounding needy or clingy, I just…you’re leaving and I wasn’t sure if the high of last night wore off? Or if maybe you’re regretting what we did and you don’t know how to tell me?” She fidgets with her fingers in her lap. I’ve rarely seen her nervous. Shay is confident and quite frankly a ball buster so it does something to me that she’s allowing herself to be vulnerable and soft with me.

“No.” I shake my head. “I don’t know if the high of you will ever wear off.” I hate the words as soon as I hear them out loud but the small smile that finds her lips makes it worth me sounding like a pussy. I lean down and press my lips to hers gently and maybe that’s what she needed, a kiss or the promise of more before I left her bed. That there would be more kisses and moreuslater.

A few minutes later, I’m jogging down her stairs and moving towards the exit. I am confused when I notice that the alarm has been disabled and instantly, I’m aware that I’m not alone on the floor.There is no way I forgot to set the alarm and Annette, her house manager, is off this weekend. Who the fuck is in the house?

A familiar face appears in the hall with a Starbucks cup in her hand and her eyes widen when she sees me.

“OH MY GOD, SHAY CELESTE EASTWOOD!” she screams,yes screams,and I watch as Veronica goes through a hundred different emotions as it dawns on her why I would be upstairs at five in the morning, not to mention with half of my shirt unbuttoned. Even when I do stay in the main house, I stay in the guest rooms downstairs.

“Veronica? What are you doing here? How did you get in?” I press a hand over my eyes regretfully as I remember I never changed the code the other night. It also doesn’t escape me that the other night was when things started to change between Shay and me.

Fuck, what else have I missed while my mind has been preoccupied?

“This is precisely why she doesn’t need the code to the house,” I tell Shay who makes it halfway down the stairs clad only in a robe, her eyes wide as she looks at Veronica who glares at me for my comment.

“What are you doing here!?” Shay asks her best friend.

“Catching you in the act evidently. How long has this been going on? Oh my God! I knew you were into her!” She giggles and turns to Shay. “I want to know all the details.”

“Okay, I was going to tell you anyway, you didn’t need to break into my house.” She rolls her eyes as she moves down the rest of the stairs. “But what are you doing here at five-thirty in the morning?”

“Hello, we have to be on set at eight, and since when is there a time I can’t show up at your house?”

Shay looks up at me and I’m annoyed that all it’s taken is one night with Shay to miss something like the front door opening. Even if she did have a code, I usually get an alert to my phone when the front door opens and somehow, I missed it or slept through it.

“How long have you been here?” I ask her.

“My question first!” she shrieks and I glare angrily at her, hoping she realizes now is not the time but she smacks Shay in the shoulder. “Call off your guard dog.”

“Okay both of you, no.” She shakes her head as she points between the two of us. “You two are not going to put me in the middle. Be nice to each other.”

I let out a huff and run a hand through my hair annoyed that I still haven’t gotten any of the answers I’ve asked for.

“V, I’ll tell you everything. Don’t antagonize him.” She purses her lips. “He wants to know when you got here because it’s freaking him out that he didn’t know the front door opened.”

“Yeah, I’ll bet he didn’t.” She raises her eyes up and down and scrunches her nose and I feel like I’m on the verge of exploding.

“Damian,” she says, turning her back to the current pain in my ass and looks up at me. Her hand reaches up and strokes my face. “I’ll figure out what you need to know. Okay? Don’t be grumpy.” She smiles at me and just seeing her stare at me like that has the tension leaving me slowly. She stands on her tiptoes and puckers her lips and I look over her head to see Veronica beaming at us with excitement. It makes me slightly less irritated that she seems to be happy with this new development between us. I lean down and press a kiss to Shay’s lips that lasts no more than a second knowing that if I let it go on for too long, I’ll drag her back to bed.

After I made my morning rounds, went on a quick run, and took a shower, I do my usual security footage scans, and I notice that her bedroom light was on until three in the morning. Even after we turned the lights out, we made out for at least another hour, our bodies rubbing against each other like they didn’t ever want to part. I explored every inch of her with my lips, and my god, she sucked my dick better than anyone ever has, getting accustomed to my size quickly and deep-throating me with every thrust. I couldn’t even come in her mouth, I was too desperate to feel her cunt again, so I pulled out and finished inside of her much to her disappointment.

I don’t think I’d ever been with a woman that was annoyed that I hadn’t come in her mouth.

It has been some time since I’ve been with a woman; not since Simone, but one-night stands were few and far between. Shay has been my focus. I’ve spent my nights off sleeping or reading or sometimes at the gun range. I don’t frequent bars or the nightlife scene and the few times I had friends in the area whose visit happened to coincide with some time off, I spent it catching up with them, not looking for someone to fuck. I’m not a stranger to meaningless sex. I spent the majority of my early twenties before Simone doing just that and now, I’m over it.
