“Oh, you think so, do you? You’re the one who said that round two wasn’t in the works,” Micah replied.

“Would you be able to go again?”

“I don’t know, but I could stick around and find out,” Micah teased. “I’m sure that I wouldn’t disappoint you.”

“I don’t think so. I need to get some sleep. I will admit that after our run today and the exercise from tonight, I’m about ready to pass out.”

“Fine, be that way. But don’t say that I didn’t offer,” Micah joked as he hoisted himself out of bed.

He noticed that Lucy was eyeing his body, so he dressed slowly.

“Do you like what you see?”

“It’s alright,” Lucy replied.

“Alright?” Micah asked, in mock hurt. “I can’t believe you would say something so awful to me.”

Lucy shook her head and laughed at him. She faked a huge yawn, tapping her mouth with her hand.

“Get thee gone, creature,” she said.

Micah grabbed his socks and shoes and leaned over the bed to brush a kiss across Lucy’s lips.

“Sleep well,” he said.

Micah hopped in the shower, enjoying the feeling of the hot water cascading over his body. He closed his eyes and felt Lucy’s hands tentatively touching him. The thought of her shyly exploring his body ignited a couple of embers inside of him and he felt his cock twitching a little bit. He groaned when he thought of how good it felt to be inside of her, with her hot, tight, wet walls, caressing him. It had taken him a little effort to hold back his orgasm until she had experienced hers. Micah was starting to ache again. He could definitely go back over there and show her that he was up for a second round.

“Down, Boy. I think I need to make this a cold shower,” he said to himself. “Or at least stop thinking about Lucy touching me.”

The cold shower seemed to do the trick, although he knew that it wouldn’t take much to get him aroused again. He had to admit that making love to Lucy was a different experience than he had with other women.

“It is just because I’ve known her my entire life and we do have a connection, even if it isn’t romantic love,” he told himself.

He hadn’t been surprised when she told him that them making love didn’t change anything. Although he hadn’t intended to get physical with her, he would never have expected her to suddenly decide to go through the mating ceremony with him after one night of passion. He still had a lot of convincing to do, though, before she would consider going through the mating ceremony with him. Micah knew Lucy well enough to understand that part of it would be convincing her to let go of her pride. She would resist going through the mating ceremony simply because the elders and alpha were trying to force her to do it.

“I do think that she is starting to feel something more for me than friendship, or she wouldn’t have let me kiss her that way and she certainly wouldn’t have made love to me,” Micah muttered to himself. “It’s a start in the right direction, at least.”

Micah had to admit that he was exhausted after the long day and fell quickly to sleep, wondering what the events of the next week would bring.

Lucy and Micah met for breakfast the next morning.

“Did you sleep well?” he asked.

“I did, although I had weird dreams. One of those dreams was that I was in the middle of an ocean, in a perfectly good ship, and decided to put on a life vest, jump in an innertube, and swim back to shore.”

“That is a strange dream. Did you do some heaving drinking after I left your room?” Micah asked, teasingly.

“No, but I think I’m going to have to do some research to try and figure out what that dream means. What about you?”

“I slept like the dead. I barely woke up even when you called me and asked if I wanted to eat breakfast with you before you went to work,” Micah said. “I might go back and take a nap when we’re done here.”

“You’re a lazy bum,” Lucy said.

“I might just be that,” Micah replied. “At least for another week or so. After all, I’m on vacation.”

“There are a lot of really cool spots you could visit, especially around Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs,” Lucy suggested.

“I could go sight seeing. I might drag Dean along with me, because I know that he’s been bored, although they have all kinds of entertainment available at the resort,” Micah said. “On the other hand, I could go sit in the café all day long and heckle you while you schlep coffee and Danishes.”
