“You don’t have to do that. I can get my own coffee.”
“I know, but I want to. Let me do something for you.” She thinks on it for a moment before nodding.

Chapter 9
Katherine
Twenty-four is definitely tooold to be freaking out over baby’s first sleepover with a guy. Right?
I suppose it doesn’t matter because here I am, twenty-four and freaking the hell out. I don’t even know why I’m freaking out. It was nice. I liked it. I really liked it.
But it’s new and it’s not what I’m supposed to be doing. Certainly, I shouldn’t have liked it as much as I do. What can I say? I’m just a girl; I fell victim to the urge to be wrapped up in his strong arms.
I shower as quickly as possible because Ares is coming back any second and I don’t want to get caught in only my towel. I rush through my shower and pull the first dress from my closet that I can find, a lilac milkmaid dress with lace details.
I scan over my selection of heels searching for a match and for once, I don’t have one. I go with a white pair that match well enough. They lace halfway up my calf with one thick strap over the toes.
I walk out to the kitchen and look over the morning to do list. Yes, I make a to do list for my morning routine.
Shower and get dressed
Feed Bellatrix
Make coffee
Check E-mail
Eat breakfast
So I grab myself a seat and scroll through my emails. Most are spam and scam emails. The few emails that aren’t are unimportant for the most part. There’s one from Jacob about a couple slight schedule changes but that’s common from him. In fact, I have an extra forty-five minutes this morning.
There’s a soft knock at the front door, followed by it creaking open.
“Don’t be naked,” Ares calls out, holding his hand over his eyes. “Or do… but be naked on purpose.” The humor in his voice is clear.
“Shut up! I’m dressed, you goof,” I laugh. He turns the corner into the kitchen with coffee and a bag in hand. He sets both down on the table.
