What felt like minutes later, Kait was rubbing my shoulder. “Time to wake up, Princess.”
I batted at his hand, but he just moved it and started rubbing again when I stopped waving my hand. “Ugh. Why so early, Kait? It’s not even light out!”
“Lots to do, and little time. Travis wants some time with you today, you’ve got train, and I want to go find David. He didn’t come back home last night.”
That woke me up quick. I sat up and stretched. “Shit. Okay, I’m up. Make sure you get something to eat before you go.”
He glanced at me, seeming amused. “Okay.” He swooped in and kissed me senseless, not that I had many senses to begin with this early in the morning. When he finally let me up for air, he said, “You look ravishing with bed head, Princess. Especially when I know I’m the cause of some of it.”
I looked away, feeling like my face was on fire. I didn’t know what to say to that, so I didn’t say anything. He put his finger under my chin and forced me to look at him.
“I didn’t say that to embarrass you. You are beautiful, and I want you to know that.” This time, he kissed me tenderly, cupping my face in his hands. Eventually, he pulled back and rested his forehead on mine. “As much as I’d love to stay with you in bed all day, we’ve got things to do. Come on.”
I groaned as I got out of bed. After quickly texting David, I gathered my things and went to the bathroom to get ready. In no time, I was braiding my hair and heading to the kitchen, which was emanating heavenly smells.
Travis was in front of the stove, with jeans and an apron on, no shirt. It was so adorable, I had to stop and watch. He had earbuds in, and was dancing as he cooked to music that only he could hear. He flipped a pancake in the air, caught it in the pan, and spun around before he set the pan back on the stove. He slowly turned back to me, his face and neck bright red. “Uh, morning, Babe. How long have you been standing there?”
Not long enough, a small part of my brain answered. What I actually said, though, was, “Long enough to watch your delicious backside as you were dancing.” Oh shit! I did not mean to say that. Now my face was red.
He froze at first, but then a huge, beautiful smile came over his face as his eyes flashed to a brilliant blue. “You think my backside is delicious?” He turned back toward the stove and began gyrating his hips in a circle. He glanced over his shoulder at me and winked. Heat flashed through me, pooling between my legs. Oh, fuck me please!
“You mean that?” Now he was staring at me.
“Shit. No. I did not mean to say that out loud. Tell you what, I’m just going to go back to bed. To go to sleep. I’ll get up later and re-start this morning.” I turned around but was grabbed from behind. Travis spun me back to him to kiss me hard. He picked me up and pinned me between him and the wall. Kait had awakened something in me last night, so my hands were roaming on their own, with no guidance from my brain. One hand was on his cheek and the other was rubbing his chest, under the apron, working lower and lower. He shifted, to support my butt with one hand, then he grabbed my roaming hand and held it to the wall above my head. I moaned as the movement caused my nipples to rub against him.
He released my mouth, sliding me down the wall until I was standing on my own feet. We were breathing hard, and I could see the desire in his eyes. I didn’t know how to handle it, so I looked at the floor. A burning smell assaulted our noses, which caused Travis to began swearing.
“Damn it! There goes that pancake. It was worth it, though!” He rushed back to the stove and scraped out the burnt pancake. Then, he threw it in the garbage before spraying the pan again to make the next one. I sat down at the table, touching my swollen lips with a shaking finger. I felt like I was going to go up in flames, and I fidgeted a little as the friction of sitting caused me to be aware of exactly what Travis had done to me. I watched the muscles in his back move for a while, but that was not helping me calm down.
I was staring at the table when a plate slid into view. I glanced up, startled. Travis was smiling down at me. “It’s done, Babe. Time to eat!”
He sat down next to me and began eating. I did the same, hardly tasting it, my mind was too focused on *ahem* other things. Travis bumped my shoulder with his.
“What’re you thinking about?”
“Hmmm? What?” I shook my head. Thank god David and Kait weren’t here to see the things going through my head.
“I said, what’re you thinking about? You are bright red, fidgeting and not eating.” He was attempting to look into my eyes, but I deliberately kept glancing away.
“Oh, um, nothing. So,” I cleared my throat, and continued, “So, are you going to train with me today? Kait said I needed to train, and you wanted some time with me.”
A slow, seductive smile spread across his face. I think I turned even more red and I’m sure I looked like a lobster at this point. “Yeah, we are going to train. Then I have some things I want to show you.” His low voice had taken on a sultry edge. I was going to be in trouble if this continued.
I didn’t respond and his smile dimmed. Great, now I’ve hurt his feelings. “What do you want to
