Chapter 15- Good Morning
I stretched with a satisfied sigh when the warmth of a hard but comfortable pillow welcomed me, with the sun beaming through my window.
The comfort of waking up with Tristan was more than I expected, but I dared not to shift, not wanting to wake him too. From the look of outside, I could see that it was probably well after seven in the morning, giving us a few more minutes in bed.
I took the chance to really ogle his beautiful sleeping features. He looked so sweet with his lips slightly parted, and the light stubble that spread across his cheeks gave him a more mature look. He had his eyebrows a bit scrunched as if he was thinking in his sleep, and I couldn't help but giggle at the thought. Even in his sleep he never seemed to give his brain a rest.
Sadly, the light rubble of my giggle jerked him awake, and he found my eyes in just about two seconds. I beamed at him as he smiled down at me. His hand automatically went to my hair as he brushed his fingers through them comfortingly, almost making me purr like a kitten.
"Good morning beautiful" He whispered, his voice husky and sexy as ever. I cleared my own throat as I got ready to answer, hoping all the screaming from the night before didn't do its best to my voice.
"Good morning handsome" I replied, happy that my voice seemed normal. Imagine explaining to my dad why my voice was gone? I also talk on the phone for a living. That didn't seem like a good mix.
He kissed my forehead sweetly before simply returning back to his former sleeping position. I had an internal party when he pulled me closer and closed his eyes again, showing me that he too had the same idea of staying this way a little longer.
I could get used to this.
After our very, very steamy moment last night, we proceeded to yet another long round of intoxicating love making. After that, he brought me to the shower to get cleaned up before bed, where we yet again had another steamy round.
We didn't bother putting clothes on, so we were a tangled mess of skin and flesh beneath the white sheets. I bit my lip as I trailed my fingertips over his chest, the images of last night igniting a new flame in me again.
He groaned in satisfaction, pulling me on top of him with his eyes still closed. I brought my lips to his, kissing him sweetly before leading trails of kisses down his neck.
"What are you doing to me Cianna?" He asked in a husky voice, and before I could answer, he flipped us around so that he was on top of me and I under him.
I beamed brightly with my lower lip between my teeth as I noticed that he was very much awake now.
"I could ask you the same thing Detective Deckor" I mumbled against his lips as I went in for another kiss.
He groaned approvingly before pulling away the excess sheet from our tangled bodies. Excitement rose in me as he took full control of the kiss. But as if the universe was against my happiness, his ringtone blared through the room like an alarm, halting his movements swiftly.
I watched as he grabbed it from the desk and quickly declined the call before directing his attention back to me, but the phone went off almost immediately again. I groaned internally, silently accepting that a new day has begun. I couldn't live in last night's moment forever.
"Just get it" I smiled reassuringly as I rolled from beneath him. With a sigh, he grabbed the phone as he sat on the opposite side of the bed.
"Yes?" He answered sharply, and I could see that whoever it was on the receiving end of his wrath. I couldn't help but chuckle slightly at this. And here I thought I was the one who was sexually frustrated.
I climbed over to him, where I gently rubbed the tension from his broad shoulders, loving the way they felt under my fingers. I listened as he 'hhmmed' and 'yeah' the whole conversation, but the look on his face made me know it was work-related.
"What was that about?" I asked once he hung up the phone.
He sighed, running his hands through his hair before pulling me onto his lap as he held me like a baby. "It was my partner. He needs me to come in 'as soon as possible'. Apparently, he found something on Sheldon's case that he thinks could be useful. I better go see what he got" I pursed my lips in thought for a while as something crossed my mind.
"I know you said you guys don't get along, and it's mainly because he wants to work alone. But I honestly think you guys could crack the case faster if you actually work together. I mean, isn't that what partners are for? If you two should go in on a lead one day and something bad happens, will he even watch your back?"
"I don't know love. But I guess there has been progress.. Like I said last night, I won't force him to work with me. If things change later on then good. But for now..." I nodded in understanding as he trailed.
I made a move to move from his lap, seeing that it was time for him to get ready. "I guess you need to go now. I'll just go freshen up and make breakfast if you'd like that?" I suggested, but the smirk on his face told me he had other plans.
"Oh, no sweetheart. I'm finishing what we started" He pulled me back to him as he pinned me under him again, caging me in as he connected our lips in a maddening kiss.
And just like that, the desire stirred in me again like it was never gone.
