Chapter 58
“No!” Dani yells as my six a.m. alarm shrieks, and I laugh, reaching for her and pulling her in.
“Time to get up.” I kiss her temple, regretting not getting enough sleep last night. I have so much to accomplish today.
“No!” She puts a pillow over her face.
“On your itinerary, you will see blocked-off time for a workout.”
“Fuck your itinerary,” she says, muffled under the pillow.
I chuckle, getting out of bed. “Your absence from the gym will be noted for later. Is adding another spanking to the queue worth sleeping for forty-five more minutes?”
“Duh.”
“Two more.” I smirk, shaking my head. “When I get back, it’s time to work.”
“Bye,” she says, still under the pillow.
Returning from the gym, I grind coffee beans.
This is the first morning I’ve had someone in my bed in over a year.
I’m reminded of my former tradition of making my ex coffee each morning before I left for the day.
It feels like time to make new traditions.
Maybe a fresh start in a new place, one where I could make memories with Dani, wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
