“Shit,” he mumbled.
“Problem?” she asked.
“Yeah, I, ah, have a training type thing I want to do with you today. It’d also knock off one o
f those list items of yours. But I have to take care of this first.”
“I could just go with you?” she said before she realized the words had come out.
He frowned as if confused. “I can’t really train you until later, so you’d have to sit through a few errands and making a run to my mom’s.”
“That’s fine.”
What the hell had she just agreed to?
Okay, she couldn’t back out. Not now. But could she really go?
Think this through.
She had the day open, and this was just for training, right? So surely a few hours of running errands was okay until she could get back to her list. Because that’s what this was all about. The list and his hours. She needed to remember that.
He took a step toward the bed, a small smile tugging at his lips.
“All right then. Looks like we’re spending the day together.”
A day. The word made her chest twist a little. That was a big dose of time. But she could do it if it meant she took another step toward this independence she was chasing. And Dex had said today would involve crossing some major stuff off her list so…totally fine. Not a relationship. Not a big deal. Just sex and fun and progressing forward into her new Take Life by the Balls attitude.
He took another step, that grin widening and that cock growing.
She sat there, waiting for his response. He’d suggested it. Surely he wouldn’t back down now.
“If we’re starting today, we should start it right,” he said.
He jumped on the bed and hit her with a kiss and a little tickle just below the ribs. She laughed and squirmed.
“Uh-oh, princess, I know your weakness now.”
He tickled a little more, and she laughed. Her eyes met his, and yes…she had a weak spot. She was looking right at it. Rather, at him. And she had no idea what to do about it. Only that she knew if he could get her to open up with laughter simply with his touch, staying around him much longer couldn’t be good.
“Come on,” he said and tugged her up. With a smack on her bottom, he led her into the bathroom and turned on the hot water. “I’m going to have to finish my breakfast in the shower this morning. Any chance shower sex is on your list of things to do?”
She smiled as he pulled her under the spray, hit his knees, and had her on the brink of climax in five seconds flat.
“You know, it actually is.”
“Well then, it’s shaping up to be a productive day.”
Yes, productive.
A means to an end.
She didn’t have to call this off now. They both understand why they were here and what their limits were.
Every adventure inevitably came to an end, and no matter how lost she got, she’d find her way back to the real world.
It had been a pretty great morning. Dex had eaten the breakfast of champions and after running to the grocery store and pharmacy with her by his side in his pickup, he was feeling kind of…giddy.
Which was lame. He knew better. But Michelle with her cute dress and hair tied up in a perfect bun had him hard all damn morning. Because he knew what she was like beneath the prim and proper. She wasn’t like the women who showed up for one wild night with him and instead gave him one boring memory. There was a wild vixen in Michelle.
