Iwoke up curled protectively around Lacey’s lush form. Last night had been an amazing breakthrough for us. I honestly thought she was going to be pissed that I crawled all up in her former relationship and her parents’ personal lives.

I had considered not telling her about her ex or her mom’s friend, but I was glad I came clean about all that because her reaction told me one simple thing. She trusted me to make appropriate judgment calls when it came to looking out for her and her parents. Earning her trust had felt like winning the fucking lottery.

Nobody got me like Lacey did. She not only understood me, she also liked me as a person and if I wasn’t mistaken, I think she saw us as having something long-term. Imagine a good, wholesome woman like Lacey seeing me as good enough. I mean, I knew deep down inside that I was, but getting overlooked by women who had their act together for my whole life was beginning to mess with my head. That little nagging voice in the back of my mind was starting to tell me that all the women in the world couldn’t be wrong.

Truth be told, it was starting to give me an outright complex. I hadn’t wanted to believe I wasn’t good enough, but that was the logical explanation and the reason I had been such an ass when Lacey blew me off the first time, I approached her. Granted, it had been a ham-handed approach on my part, but at the time itseemed to support the idea that I wasn’t enough for nice women to take an interest in me.

Now, by embracing me so quickly, Lacey had proven I was right all along. Fuck that little voice all to hell. The last thing in the world I needed was self-doubt plaguing my every step. I worked hard, was there for my club brothers, and saw that my grandmother was taken care of. I had nothing to be ashamed of. Lacey saw through all my self-doubt and personality quirks. She saw the real me and I was so thankful for the chance to get close to her that I was never gonna take her for granted.

I must have fallen asleep again, because I was woken by my phone vibrating from my pants on the floor, so I leaned down to grab it out of the pocket. I would have preferred to ignore it in favor of staying close to Lacey, but there was too much going on in my life with my gran and the club to just ignore texts and calls. When I checked, it was a text from Storm letting me know that the cops had finally released the office from being an active crime scene. I sent him a ‘thank you’ and put the phone on my bedside table. I personally felt that they held off releasing the crime scene because Storm and I had been a bit of a pain in their asses about doing a proper investigation. Even our contact at the police department wasn’t about to speed things up, so we’d gotten our attorney involved to see if he could work his magic.

Lacey turned over and burrowed down closer to my side. I shoved my hard cock aside and twisted my hips to keep from seeming insistent the very second she opened her eyes. Because it’s not very gentlemanly to wake someone up with a raging boner pressed against their ass.

She yawned, “What time is it? It can’t be morning already.”

I pulled her close again and murmured, “It’s seven.”

“Too early,” she groaned.

Her behavior made me smile. “Most of the brothers get up early because Storm’s burned it into our minds that if we don’t get moving, we’re burning daylight.”

Her head tiled up to look at me. “What does that even mean?”

I lean down and kiss her on the forehead. “It means, ladybug, that we only get so many hours in a day and it’s a bad idea to waste any of them. I guess it stems from being in the military.”

“I need more sleep,” she muttered.

I gave her a quick kiss on the lips and told her, “Why don’t you sleep in? I’ll go down and get coffee and breakfast started.”

“Stay right where you are. You’re warm and snuggly.”

“Yeah, I am both of those things. However, unless I get a cold shower, we’re gonna end up going another round or two and I know you probably don’t want that because we went at it long and hard last night.”

She sighed, “Fine, if you’re getting up, so am I.”

“Cause you don’t want to waste time sleeping when you could be with me, right?”

She rolled over and stared up at the ceiling. “You got me on that one. Storm’s right. Wallowing in bed alone is no way to start the day.”

“Want to grab a shower with me?” I asked playfully. “We can fool around.”

That got her sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Damn, this woman was too precious to ever think about giving up. She slid out of bed and just as she started stumbling towards the bathroom, I heard her say, “Last one to the shower ends up on their knees.”

I bolted out of bed, but my ensuite bathroom was close, and she had a head start. Truth be told, I wasn’t trying too hard to be first because the thought of having my mouth on her this morning sounded like the perfect way to start my day. She might have made it there first, but I was right behind her. I had to admit that she looked stunning all naked and laughing with her mess of bed hair. I liked her like this, happy, contented with me, and carefree.

We fell into the shower, still laughing and joking with each other. Since the plan was to fool around, I set the temperature to warm instead of hot. Lacey immediately grabbed a squirt of body gel from my pump dispenser and begin soaping up my body. Not being born yesterday, I knew exactly where this was going. By the time she got to my cock, I leaned back against the shower wall and let her stroke me to her heart’s content. I’d showered with women before but never had a sexy shower, so this was yet another thrilling new experience to share with her. It didn’t take me long to shoot my load all over her breasts again.

When she lifted her arms up and tilted her head back to wet her hair, I swear she looked like a finely chiseled Greek statue, only with arms. I immediately took the opportunity she so generously provided to return the favor of soaping up her body, beginning with her breasts.

After rinsing her off with the shower head, I dropped to my knees and continued to worship her body like she deserved.Hearing her moan and make sounds of pleasure made my chest swell with pride. When she came all over my tongue, I lapped it up. Everything about Lacey, from her company, to the way we were together, was amazing. I was falling hard and fast for her and being genuinely in love for the first time in my life was turning out to be better than I ever imagined it would be.

We got dressed and I made a quick breakfast of coffee and some muffins I had bought a day or two ago which were still okay. I made a mental note to go grocery shopping—if Lacey was gonna be staying over here regularly, then my typical bachelor fare of ramen noodles, yesterday’s take-out pizza, and whatever leftovers I’d snatched from the clubhouse grill just wouldn’t cut it. Then we headed straight to the office to assess the damage and begin the cleanup. I remembered it as being a mess but between the detectives and the forensic team it was a total wreck.

Wandering around from room to room, Lacey looked like she was about to cry. “What in the world did the police do to our office? It’s worse than after the break-in.”
