iris woke up, dizzy from the heat and being encompassed by a large, warm body. she shifted her legs, trying to find cold air. however, when she moved, she immediately winced in pain. her legs, her ass, her hips all hurt. blinking at the clock, she realized it was nearly 5 o'clock. they'd slept through most of the day after staying up until 2am. they'd taken a shower and washed up, but the lack of AC and the outstanding florida humidity likely made her smell. she reached up for her phone, in a bra and extremely comfy yet short shorts. there, she saw the several text messages she missed.

iris sighed, closing her eyes again. clay seemed nice enough to genuinely mean it when offering a place to stay, but she wanted there to be some sort of agreement, both financially and boundaries-wise. she barely knew the guy, and she knew it'd be awkward moving in so fast. like. absolutely insane.

a deep, raspy voice drawled from behind her, "what time is it?"

she peeked over her shoulder at him, his brown eyes blearily blinking back at her. "five."

he frowned. "morning?"

"afternoon."

"shit."

"yeah."

they just stared at each other. his eyes flickered to her mouth, but before either of them could lean in, he sighed and dug his face into the crook of her neck. "i'd kiss you," he said, "but i have morning breath."

she rolled her eyes. "big baby."

"shut up."

she groaned. "i'd say make me, but i don't think i can go for another round right now."
