“What are you guys doing here?”

“Well, I’m going to want all the juicy details. Later though, when he’s not here.” Thayer adds tossing a thumb behind her. “But in the meantime we brought breakfast. We wanted to see you.”

Bellamy brings her hand up to her chest, her expression morphing into one of delight. Her smile is so excited, you’d have thought she’d just learned she’d won a large sum of money.

I shake my head, trying to clear my thoughts so I don't spend any more time thinking about how I want to be the reason she smiles like that.

“I’d love that.” She says, before throwing me a nervous glance.

“Claire squeezed some fresh orange juice. It’s in the fridge if you want it for mimosas.” I tell her.

“You’re okay with them staying for breakfast?” She asks, her tone halfway between disbelief and hope.

“Why not.”

A tiny smile starts at the corner of her mouth and blooms across her face until she beams at me. It’s blinding. My heart thumps again.

I turn away, ending the moment and our eye contact.

???

Before I know it, ‘breakfast’ turns into a whole production.

Eggs are scrambled.

Toasts are buttered.

Mimosas are poured.

And I’m left standing, watching, wondering how I've let this girl have an entire brunch with her friends in my kitchen without so much as batting an eyelid.

With me watching them from across the room like a stalker because I like the sound of her laughter.

I can't keep my head on straight when it comes to her. First I wanted to force her to leave, then I wanted destroy her, and now I'm not sure what I want. All I know is I enjoy fucking her. I even enjoy fighting with her.

I don't remember the last time I felt an emotion other than hate.

“What in the world?” Phoenix is still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes when he walks into the kitchen. “What the fuck is she doing here?” He hisses as his eyes land on Six.

“They just burst in and made themselves at home. I’ve seen invasive species with more restraint.”

“I’m not staying if she’s here.”

My hand comes down on his shoulder before he can take a step towards the door.

“No need to be so dramatic. Let’s just go playCall of Duty.”

“Alright.” He spits out, fuming.

I grab a couple drinks and head towards the door when Bellamy calls my name. “Rogue, wait.” I turn towards her, watching her bare feet pitter patter against the floor as she runs up to me. “Are you leaving?” She asks, her tone unsure.

“I’m going to playCall of Dutywith the guys.”

“Oh, cool.” She hesitates, her fingers anxiously playing with the hem of her shirt. Finally, she gets on her tiptoes, leans in and presses her lips to mine in a kiss. “Thank you for breakfast.”

The kiss is chaste, barely a peck. But it’s the first kiss she’s initiated between us and my dick is ready for round four.

I growl deep in my throat and wrap my hand around her waist, yanking her against me as I deepen the kiss. I take her mouth, my lips attacking hers ruthlessly as I claim them. I groan into her mouth before I pull away just as abruptly, leaving her standing there with a haze of lust in her eyes.
