I stand in the closet and try to remember what the fuck I’m doing. Freedom is watching me from the bed and laughs. “Too many choices?”
I roll my eyes. “You blew my fucking mind again. I’m hiding the fucking vibrator.”
I go to the night table and swipe my phone. I’m in Flight Training then an Enforcer shift with Cort. Lately, that’s been quiet. They put another Team on and we’ve been riding to Rex’s or the runway. Last week we went in the fighter jets for a ride.
“Flight training first, then Enforcer.”
She laughs again so I bend and kiss her. “Club tonight?”
“I’m not fucking singing.”
“Are you already in a bad mood?”
I smile. “No, but thinking is hard right now. Flight Training.”
“I think it’s funny that you have to figure out what suit of armor to wear. You know you have a cool fucking job when you start the day like that.”
I laugh. “I love my cool fucking job, but mylo’u alofamore. Unless you use the vibrator on me. No cuffs, no vibrator.”
“No cuffs?”
I smile back at her. “I get to use them, but you don’t. You can’t do that shit without telling me the plan, that was emasculating.”
“You see the time? You’re not going to be late and neither am I. I need to go. I have a breakfast with the Trainers. If we’re not at the Club, we need something to do tonight.”
I smile. “Think of something, I love when we compromise.” It’s always got riding in it and Freedom knows all the good spots.
“I’ll work on it. See you after work.”
With love and a kiss, she’s gone and I hunt for the vibrator. Never again. Fucking woman had me off in no time at all. Today, I’m an embarrassment to men all over the planet and it’s never fucking happening again. I break it and drop it in my bag.
With a coffee to take with me, I grab my hat and coast to the office with a coffee in my hand and my lid and bag strapped. It’s a beautiful day already, I can’t wait until tonight.
Cort and Raid ride by doing eighty. My hat flies and I can hear them fucking laugh. Shit heads. With my hat back on, I strap my cup and coast to the portico. They’re waiting. “Shit heads.”
“We’re doing breakfast. You can drink your coffee here,” Raid says like two coffees are bad.
I shrug and pull my Phoenix cup and bag, leaving the lid strapped. “Freedom got me the cup. I wanted it here and it was full.”
Cort rolls his eyes. “Every Officer got two cups, Brother.”
“Falcon stole one before he left and I gave Miter the other.”
They laugh at me, but I follow them in with my cup. “I’m putting my name on this one. Falcon didn’t give me one of his cups.”
“Buy one from the website, Brother.”
“It’s not the same, that’s the public shit. I want the real one. I’m swiping one when I go down next week.”
Cort laughs. “I’ll get you a cup. Did Freedom leave early today?”
Fucking woman. “No.” That reminds me, I unzip my flight bag and drop the broken vibrator in the receptacle when I walk by it.”
