“You’re such a dork.”
“Yeah, well you love me, so that makes you a dork lover.”
I lowered my face.
“I’m okay with that.”
We kissed again and there was some fumbling as we got our pants down and out of the way enough so that I could sink down on him. We’d had a lazy day, so I took my time, but neither of us lasted very long. He snuck a hand between us and I climaxed, with him not far behind.
Afterward, I kissed him again and I didn’t want to move, but we both needed to clean up.
“Shower?” he asked and I agreed. We pulled our clothes back on and went into the house. One of the best features of the cabin was the huge walk-in shower with multiple showerheads. That had been one of Mom’s must-haves when Dad originally bought this place. She said she didn’t even care if the place had a stove as long as she had a good shower.
Before we got good and clean, we got good and dirty (again) and by the time we were both wrapped in towels, I was totally exhausted. We hadn’t even done anything today, and I felt like I’d run a marathon.
“Why am I so tired?” I said through a yawn. Lucah reclined on the bed next to me and yawned as well.
“I have no idea, but I feel the same way.”
“We have to go back tomorrow morning,” I said with a pout.
“I know,” he said, closing his eyes and putting his hands behind his head.
“We should definitely come up here more often. It’s so peaceful.” He yawned again and I could tell I was losing him. It wasn’t even nine and we were both ready for bed. Like we were at least forty years older than we actually were.
I leaned on my side and watched him fall asleep. Or at least I tried to, but my own exhaustion caught up with me.
~*~*~
The morning came far too early, but I felt amazing when I finally set my feet on the floor.
Lucah and I packed everything up and hopped back in his car.
“Do you want me to drive for a little while?” I asked, mostly to see the look on his face. Lucah wasn’t opposed to me driving. He was opposed to anyone driving his precious car. I tried not to take it personally.
“I’m good,” he said, snagging one of the energy drinks I’d bought the other day.
I called Sloane as we were leaving to see what the hell she’d wanted yesterday.
“Are you alive? Have you been attacked by bears?” She honestly sounded concerned, even though she’d been to the cabin plenty of times before.
“Sloane. We’ve been over this. It’s highly unlikely to even see a bear here, let alone have physical contact with one.” She sputtered a little, and I finally got her to tell me the point of her call.
“Oh, I just wanted to see what was up. How your day off was.” Of course. I knew it wasn’t anything bad.
“Everything’s fine. I swear, if you don’t talk to me every day, you fall apart,” I said. That wasn’t necessarily true, but she did get a little apprehensive when I left the city. It was both sweet and annoying.
“Whatever. I just missed you, that’s all. Ryder is great and all, but he doesn’t have your enthusiasm for shoes and he can’t be bothered to fake it.” The last part was said loudly and then I heard the rumble of Ryder’s voice in the background.
“What did he say?” I asked.
“Oh, he just said he would be interested in shoes if they were on my feet and I was also naked.” I snorted. Lucah was pretty much the same way. Silly boys.
“Yeah, I hear that,” I said, stealing a look at Lucah and smiling to myself.
“Anyway, I’m glad you’re alive,” she said.
“I am.” We talked a little more about her day on Friday. She was still working on a line of tear-away lingerie, but she was hitting roadblocks left and right.
