She paused before lifting the cup to her lips. “Don’t tease.”

He grinned. “It is a relief to be able to be with you again. Now finish your coffee, and we will get breakfast on the way.”

She drank her coffee and said, “Time for a shower?”

He lifted her left hand to his lips, and a small flash of fire flared on her body. “No, but that should be sufficient.”

“Sure. Ford is an omega. He’s going to sniff your scent out in seconds.”

“And you will get to do your big reveal again. I know you love it.”

She smiled. “It is rather freeing. I can only imagine how it feels for you guys.”

“Like getting out of clothing five sizes too small.”

She finished her coffee. “Do I still have clothing here?”

“Of course. Probably more than you remember.”

Her skin tingled from the cleaning. And he helped her out of bed with only a slight wobble to her legs. He chuckled. “You recovered nicely.”

“I didn’t have to contend with Dante this morning. It makes a difference.”

“What do you want to wear? Business casual? Jeans?”

“I think jeans are good. I am no longer working for the company, so there is no sense looking professional.”

“What happened? You loved that job. You have a knack for marketing.”

“Ah. There was an issue with my supervisor. He told me I could submit to him or leave, so I left.”

“I see. Does he have a name?”

“Yes, and you don’t need to know it.”

Achilles purred, “Why not? I would like to... thank him.”

She glanced at him while she got her clothes from the wardrobe. “You are purring a lot.”

He chuckled and helped her get her bra settled.

“You know, that isn’t designed to fasten over your hands.”

“Oh. My mistake. I will get used to your undergarments.” He got everything in place and hooked the clasp as he kissed her shoulder.

“Uh-huh.”

She smiled and bent to step into her jeans. He gripped her hips.

“Just steadying you.”

“Well, I would have to be on a tall block for that particular arrangement to line up.” He let her go, and she fastened her jeans.

He chuckled. “It’s a good thing that I have access to a lot of large blocks of stone.”

“Are you enjoying being an artist?”

“It is fun, but you are always my favourite subject.”
