Those lines remained on his forehead. “I think you’re taking the piddle.”
“Maybe I am.”
He giggled and settled back down, falling asleep minutes later, his gentle snores lulling me off to sleep shortly after.
This was bliss.
Pure bliss.
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
ORION
Wendy’s new thing was inventing games for us to play. The latest involved catching honey pots as they fell from the sky and stopping some bears from stealing them. Kind of intense, a lot happening on her screen at once. The highest score I’d managed so far was like nine points.
Beep, beep.
I looked down at the screen after another failure to reach double digits.
It’s all about the fun, Orion.
Don’t worry about points.
I smiled. “You’re right.”
The text vanished, the bee back.
Beep, beep.
After feeding her, I put on a fresh pot of coffee.
Miko was already up, a much earlier riser than me. I’m talking unholy hours, like five in the morning. Normally, Iwouldn’t ever see that time of day, but this morning was different.
We wanted to see sunrise together.
I poured us both a cup, heading out to meet him on the beach wearing his red shirt and a pair of my boxers. His clothes hung off me, the shirt open and billowing in the breeze, his smell all over my body.
Just how I liked it.
He stood close to the water’s edge, eyes on Blonde Rock. My eyes drank in his gray vest and shorts clinging to his muscles perfectly, wondering if we should try sex on the beach for breakfast.
“Morning,” I said, my groin hot.
“Hey. Thanks.” He took the coffee mug and we kissed.
The dark-blue sky of morning washed with the pretty red-and-orange palette of sunrise, the sun almost cresting the horizon.
I sipped my coffee beside him.
“It’s so lovely here,” he said.
“It is.”
I wasn’t sure when we were leaving. We’d have to at some point, but I wanted at least four more days of quality time with my yummy slice of alpha.
“Good coffee, too,” he added after a sip.
“I want to make you coffee every morning.”
