This is the first time that I've fallen asleep with him and woken up in the same place.
Why didn't he move me back into the guest bedroom last night?
"Good morning," I hear him say.
I turn towards the side of the bed where he's lying.
"How are you feeling this morning? Are you sore?" he asks.
Last night we barely got any sleep. Seven proved his impressive stamina yet again and made good on his promise to beat out our personal best.
"A little… yeah. But it's a good sore. It's nothing a long hot shower can't fix."
"Any chance you can wait on that shower for about an hour? Silas is headed this way to hit the gym down the street with me. I forgot that we had these plans. If you wait for me, we can shower together, and I promise you that it will be worth the wait and then I'll make you breakfast before I take you back to the apartment to write."
I can't stop from grinning. Morning sex and then breakfast sounds perfect. And with the last chapter, I need to write being the ending, the inspiration he gave me all night last night should help me to put the finishing touches on this manuscript.
"If you're offering morning sex and bribing me with breakfast, I don't see how I could turn it down."
"That's the spirit," he smirks.
He slides an arm around my back and pulls me close, leaning down to kiss me. I wrap my arms around his neck and bring him even closer, taking his kiss deeper—morning breath be damned.
Seven's phone rings and he reaches over to pull it off the charger.
"That's him. He's probably checking to make sure I'm still coming to meet him."
"Then you'd better go."
Seven leans over one more time for a quick kiss and then he flips his blankets off of him.
I watch as his perfectly sculpted glutes push out of bed and walk to his closest.
"Hey," he says, still inside his walk-in closet. Then, he appears in a pair of gym shorts, his perfect abs still on display. "I need to spend some time with Cammy today, but would you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?"
"A date?" I ask, my eyebrows stitched together. "When's the last time you went on a date?" I tease.
"It's been a while. A couple of decades, I guess. Admittedly, I might not be very good at it, but would you want to go on a first date with me anyway?"
First date?
How much did Cammy tell him?
"Oh my God, did Cammy tell you everything that was on my list?" I ask, and then cover my face at the thought of how juvenile some of them probably sounded to him.
"She might have given me a few items that I could help you check off your list."
"You want to help me? I thought you hated my bucket list items."
"I don't hate the list. I just don't like the person behind why you started it."
"Is the list the only reason why you're asking?"
"No, it's not. I want to take you on a first date… if you want to go, that is."
I bite down on my lower lip to keep myself from smiling ear to ear.
I would have never guessed that Seven can be this sweet but here he is, surprising me yet again.
