D A L T O N ' S   P O V

Most people would let their guest sleep on the floor when inviting them over. I could see how tired she was and like the gentleman my mother raised me to be, I offered her my bed for the night.

So, imagine my surprise when I woke up to both of us sleeping on the floor.

Aspen was laying on my chest, curled up in a ball. My arms were wrapped around her as we laid on the floor under the blanket.

I could've sworn she was on the bed last night.

She began to shift in her sleep, scooting closer to me. She placed her face in my neck and moved her hand to rub her thumb over my cheek.

"Morning." She mumbled, the sleep laced in her words.

"Morning." I whispered back, moving my hand to rub her back.

She continued rubbing my cheek, not moving her head. I could tell she was trying to stay awake right now with the lack of words.

"Why aren't you on the bed?" I asked, hoping she wasn't uncomfortable on the floor.

"I got cold." She simply shrugged, pulling her head back and squinting her eyes at me.

"There were blankets on the bed." I responded, looking over to see the blankets pushed to the side like no one had slept there all night.

She groaned and avoiding looking at my eyes. I raised a brow at her, wanting to know why she chose the uncomfortable floor over the bed.

"Fine. I felt bad about taking over your bed and did anyone tell you how cute you look in your sleep." She tiredly spoke, a wide smile spreading across my lips.

"I could tell you the same thing." I grinned, watching her tiredly roll her eyes.

She moved her head to lay on my shoulder as I slipped my hand down from her back to her thigh. I grabbed it gently, rubbing my thumb over the exposed skin.

I heard her breath hitch as her hand trailed over my chest to the hem of my shirt which rode up last night. She was breathing heavily as I inched my hand up her thigh.

"Excuse me, sir." She suddenly said, gathering my attention. "Are you trying to feel me up with your family in this house?"

"Well, when you put it like that.." I trailed off, laughing as she glared at me and hit my chest.

"Dick."

"All you had to do was ask, baby." I joked, bringing my hand further up her thigh.

"I'm leaving." She groaned, pushing my hand away as she stood up and stretched.

When she stretched her back, the hoodie she was wearing rode up causing her shorts to appear. I bit my lip as I looked over the shorts that fit her just perfectly.
