"So bossy." I sighed but couldn't stop the drowsy grin that formed.

CJ snorted. "You love it."

"I love you," I said, and softness filled his eyes that I could stare into forever, if I wasn't on the verge of falling asleep. I'd never come that hard, and it left me drained. Literally.

"I love you too, and I'm not showering alone. Up, you lazy bastard."

With a sound that was a mixture of a sigh and laughter, I sat up before scooting off the bed. "I want you to stay in my bed tonight."

"I'm not going anywhere." CJ's tone was different, and when I looked at him, there was more to his tired gaze than usual. I realized that he wasn't just talking about tonight. It was a promise for tomorrow, the day after, and for as long as we loved each other. For me, I could never see that ending.

"You better fucking not." I followed him to the bathroom. Honestly, I'd follow him anywhere.

While he cranked on the shower, I leaned against the wall and stared at his toned body, processing everything that had happened since yesterday. "So, does this make us boyfriends?"

CJ snorted as he stepped under the spray and gave me an expectant look. I slid in with him, then looked him in the eyes. I wanted an answer, and his lips twitched. "If I said no?"

I cocked a brow. "I'd spank your ass."

A tired laugh rumbled in his chest. "That's not a convincing way to make me say yes, Roman."

He gasped as I pressed him against the tiled wall. "Answer my question."

CJ's breath coasted over my lips. "Only if you kiss me."

Without hesitation, I leaned forward and kissed him. The previous frenzy was absent as I tilted my head and took his mouth slow and deep, sex-drunk and lazy, devouring his lips and tongue. I wouldn't mind a lifetime of kissing CJ, but I wasn't sure if it was too soon to tell him that.

For now, this was enough. Just being with CJ and knowing we belonged to each other now.

"So about that nap…" I said as I pulled away.

A laugh burst from his lips. "I'm down."

I could get usedto the feel of a warm back pressed against my chest every morning. As I blinked open my eyes, I moved my hand to CJ's side.

The dip of his narrowed waist and the tight muscles called me to touch and taste. Running my fingers along his skin, I grinned as he broke out in goosebumps.

"Why the fuck are you waking me up?" CJ croaked, annoyance in his scratchy voice.

I chuckled, unable to stop my smile from spreading, and placed a kiss against the back of his neck. "We slept yesterday afternoon and all last night. And this is your fault. You've turned me into an addict."

CJ craned his neck but gave up on trying to look at me as he groaned and plopped back down on the pillow. "This how it's going to be every morning? I may have to invest in a pair of handcuffs so you can't touch me."

My heart skipped a beat, not because I was excited at the thought of being chained to the bed. "Every morning?" He stilled, and I hurried to continue, "I mean, I'd be okay with that if that's what you wanted."

"You'd beokaywith that?" I could picture CJ cocking a brow even though I couldn't see his face.

I continued to smooth my hand over his skin. I hadn't been lying. I wasn't sure I'd ever get enough of touching him. "I want to wake up with you in my arms every morning, but I'm not going to pressure you into it or anything. I know it's fast…"

"I'd rather be here, waking up with your hands on me, than alone in my bed any day." He sighed, a drowsy contented sound that filled me with an unfamiliar warmth, but I found myself wanting more of it. Shifting onto his back, he gazed up at me with sleepy eyes. His hair was a mess, and a faint crease line from the pillow ran across his cheek. He looked adorable for an overgrown sex on legs jock.

I grinned as I ran a finger over the indent. "Like this?"

"Exactly like that." His lips formed a crooked grin.

I grabbed his hand, brought it to my mouth, and nipped his finger before sucking the tip. He groaned and reached down, inadvertently pushing down the sheets as he moved to palm his morning wood. My mouth watered as I took in his hard cock. Letting go of his hand, I shifted onto all fours and crawled over him, kissing his chest and stomach, making my way down his body.
