Page 90 of Some Saviors Can Break You

Ifhe could get her out of bed.

He had to laugh at that, usually he wanted to get herintobed, notoutof it.

“Princess, you can get out of bed or I can get you out of bed, your choice.” He slid his hands under the blankets and found her ribs, he caressed her bare skin, tracing under her breasts before rolling her nipples between his fingers, making her moan. Then he tickled her, making her squeal and wriggle away from him.

“What are you doing?”

“Waking you up,” he said, reaching for her and tickling her again.

“Stop,” she shrieked. “Eli!”

“Ready to get up now?” he asked, throwing the covers off the bed so he could feast his eyes on her naked body. Maybe they should stay in bed for the day, make love, eat ice cream, and just chill.

“Why are you so intent on us getting up? You do realize that we only went to bed two hours ago, right?” Florence rolled to face him, propping herself up on one elbow.

Fighting temptation, he pulled Florence over so she was lying on top of him. “Trust me, I have a whole day of fun planned for us to celebrate one month together.”

“I can't believe a whole month has gone by.”

“Best month of my life.” He tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, Eli loved when she wore her hair loose so it hung in golden blonde waves down her back.

“Mine too.” She kissed him lightly then rested her head on his chest. They lay together like that for a few minutes before she sighed. “Well, I guess I'm awake now, and I can't deny I'm curious about what you have planned.”

With that, she stood, and when he watched her tight little backside sashay off to the bathroom, he nearly grabbed her and tossed her down on the bed to make love to her until they both forget anything but making each other come so hard nothing else mattered.

Eli somehow managed not to succumb to temptation and stuck with his plans, and after Florence had showered and dressed, he took a shower himself. Once they were both ready, he took her hand and led her into the lift.

“So, are you going to tell me what we’re doing today?” she asked.

“You’ll see.”

“Do you get some sort of pleasure out of torturing me?”

“Yep,” he said, grinning at her then kissing her. He loved making her squirm, Florence was always so in control, so put together, and he liked to see her ruffled.

The morning was crisp but not too cold, the sky was a clear blue that hinted that spring was only a couple of weeks away, the sun shone, and there was a gentle breeze. The day was beautiful, and he hoped that it stayed that way because what he had planned for later would be better if the weather held.

The traffic wasn't heavy, and they reached their destination a little before they needed to be there.

“The aquarium?” Florence asked as she looked out the window.

“I remember you telling me that you always wanted to go to the beach when you were a little girl, so I thought it would be fun to come here and spend the day with sea life.”

“I love it.” Florence threw her arms around his neck and hugged him hard.

“They do a few behind the scenes encounters, and I booked us into all of them. We’re going to be meeting penguins, sea lions, and sharks.”

“Really?” she squealed like a schoolgirl and clapped her hands together delightedly, and he was infinitely glad he’d gotten out of bed this morning. Bringing that smile to Florence’s face made him ridiculously proud like he’d cured cancer or solved world hunger or something.

“Really,” he said and kissed the tip of her nose.

The next few hours flew by, the penguins were adorable, and being kissed by the sea lions was fun, they’d even got to touch the sharks. By the time they were done, he didn't think he’d ever seen Florence smile and laugh as much as she had in those couple of hours at the aquarium.

“That was amazing,” Florence said as they climbed into the back of his car. “Thank you, that was such a fun date, it was a perfect way to celebrate our one month anniversary.”

“Part one of the one month anniversary celebrations,” he corrected.

“There’s more?” she asked, surprised.
