scrambled the eggs, and took our plates to the table.

As I sat down, I said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

He leaned an elbow on the table. “Don’t worry about it, Cassie. Meant what I said. If I’ve knocked you up, it’s just the beginning.”

His eyes lifted and he sniffed the air. “You put the toast down?”

I jumped up. “Oh shit!”

He beat me to the toaster and luckily the toast wasn’t completely burnt.

I hung my head in shame. “I swear, I never burn the toast.”

He chuckled. “Honey, it’s not burnt. Just more than golden brown.”

We ate, and since he finished first, Gabe insisted on doing the dishes. I scarfed down the rest of my food, and closed up the dishwasher with my rinsed dish inside.

“Bed?” I asked.

“Definitely, Cass.”

Gabe wandered into the bathroom and brushed his teeth. I did the same when he was done. When I came back to the bed, he was curled up and appeared to be sleeping already.

As gently as I could, I climbed into the other side of the bed. He scooted toward me, then his hands grabbed my waist and he pulled me to him.

“I thought you were tired,” I whispered.

“Am. But, hugging on you beats the fuck out of hugging a pillow.”

A huge smile spread across my face. “I love you, Gabe Sullivan.”

He kissed the back of my neck. “Love you more, Cassie.”

To my surprise, I fell asleep, even with Gabe’s intense heat at my back.

I AWOKE HEARING GABE’S heavy breathing. Catching sight of my alarm clock, I saw it was a quarter to ten, which meant Gabe had slept for a little over three hours.

Last week Gabe had modified my shift at the shelter, but he hadn’t told me he changed this week, too. I found that out when I had called Nona yesterday evening, and she mentioned another volunteer would be at the front desk. It meant I could laze around while Gabe slept, but that went against my nature.

Slowly, I edged my legs out from under the sheets, but as soon as I moved my torso, Gabe’s arm tightened, and I realized his breathing wasn’t as deep as it had been.

“Where you goin’?”

“Gabe. Go back to sleep.”

He pulled me closer. “Not happenin’. Your bedroom’s brighter than a window to the sun itself.”

I chuckled. “That doesn’t even make sense, Gabe.”

“What doesn’t make sense, baby, is you trying to sneak out of bed,” he whispered at my neck.

I shifted around to face him. “You said you were wiped when you got here, Gabe. I wanted to let you get more sleep because of that, honey.”

He pushed me to my back as he loomed above me. “That won’t happen since you don’t have blackout blinds. So, might as well make the most of this.”

Our kiss lingered, but after a while, I moved to push Gabe to his back and he let me.

Then I took my time, and kissed my way down his body. He had slept naked next to me, and I had to wonder if he always slept naked. I focused on my end goal, and licked his stiff cock. As I inhaled, I caught a whiff of his distinct scent and it turned me on. My hand nudged his thigh and he widened his legs for me. While I stroked him with my hand, I took him fully into my mouth, and loved hearing him hiss in response.

His hand threaded into my hair, and I looked up at him to see his eyes full of heat. On an upward stroke, I swirled the tip with my tongue and he hissed again, but it mingled with a groan.

“Yeah, just like that baby.”

I kept at him with more suction, and surprisingly his hand fell away from my head. Without him guiding the action, I dipped down so my tongue could trace his balls, only to find his hand gripping mine around his shaft. He encouraged me to grip harder and stroke faster.

“Suck me into your mouth, Cassandra.”

I followed his order, surprised at how easily his nut slid into my mouth.

“Fuck, you’ve got a velvet mouth, baby.”

I let him loose, so I could take his cock deep, again earning me his hand at the back of my head.

“You want to finish it like this, honey?”

I let him go. “How else would I finish it, G-Rock?”

“With me. In you,” he growled.

I wanted that, but I didn’t want to tempt fate twice with the possibility of getting pregnant. Since his pants were nowhere to be found, I knew he’d have to hunt for a condom.

I swirled my tongue around him before I said, “I’ll finish you off like this, baby.”

“Hurry up, Cassandra. You’re making me crazy.”

“Good,” I whispered.

Then I finished the job.

26Restart My Morning

Gabe

CASSIE GAVE ME A BLOWJOB to end all blowjobs, and part of me couldn’t believe she had it in her. Another part of me all but jumped for joy at having a girlfriend who gave such great head. When she was done, though, I was done. We had to get out of her place because three hours of sleep was not enough. Not that I told her, but I had found sleeping without her sucked.

After I convinced Cassie to come to my place with me because of my blackout blinds, she packed a bag and we left.

When we walked in, Brock was on his way out for a shift with Clint and he told us Cecilia was working a full day at Walt Disney World.

After the door closed behind Brock, Cassie commented, “So, I get to watch you sleep some more?”

I chuckled. “Baby, you won’t see shit in my bedroom with the blackout blinds. I’d love it if you’d lay down with me, but I get it. You’ve had your eight hours and then some, so you’re welcome to watch TV or play the X-Box.”

She laughed. “X-Box! Gabe, I wouldn’t know where to start!”

My eyes widened. “Bite your tongue, woman!”

Her eyes slid to the side. “It’s the truth.”

I
