I wake up to the feeling of tender and loving kisses being peppered all over my shoulder and neck.

I smile, rolling onto my stomach and hugging a pillow to my chest. The pillow smells like Ryder, all masculine, alluring, and powerful. There's a heady scent of sweat and sex clinging to the sheets too.

Even though I'd rather be hugging the real Ryder, I want to stay in this place for eternity. It feels exactly like the perfect cocoon to wrap myself around. It feels like my happy place.

Besides, I'm loving the way he's pressing his hot mouth against my skin in reverence.

"Sweetheart," He whispers in a low growl, pressing another kiss on my shoulder. This time, his tongue flickers out and swirls against my skin, sending goosebumps down my arms and spine.

I press my thighs together when a throbbing pulse forms. And soon, I realize I'm sore. The delicious ache sends ripples of pleasure down my legs and my toes curl.

"God, you're so delicious," Ryder mutters to himself this time, kissing me up my neck and earlobe. He sounds distracted. One of his hands glides across my torso and cups one of my breasts in his huge hand. He gives it a small squeeze, tightening the ball of need settled in my stomach.

I gasp. "Ryder."

I could get used to waking up like this every morning.

"I brought you some of the coffee you like," He mutters against my skin while his hand tweaks my nipple, toying with it until it is hard as a rock. His hot breath lands on my back as he kisses down my spine. "Then I thought we could take a nice shower together before heading to the office."

His mouth at this point has trailed down to my lower back. The sheets are covering only half of my body, from my ass down to my legs. But slowly, Ryder removes the covers until it settles below my upper thighs, exposing my naked ass to him. His mouth descends, kissing one cheek before giving it a soft bite.

The gesture startles me more than hurts me, so I jolt and look at him over my shoulder, wide awake now. My heart hammers against my chest.

He gives me a shy smile, though it is clear he's enjoying every second of this. "Sorry," He mutters before moving to my other ass cheek and giving it a kiss and a bite. "I can't resist it, Cassie. You're addicting. I'm tempted to call my father and cancel our meeting today. Staying in bed with this tantalizing body sounds better."

He's focused on my ass again, leaving tender kisses until he buries his face against my soaked cunt. I gasp, moving away, shy that his face is pressed there.

But he's having none of it. His hands grab my thighs as though to stop me from squirming but then he growls and plants a quick kiss on my folds before moving away. He licks his lips, tasting my juices smeared on his mouth.

I blush at the sight before he looks at me and winks. "This is for the shower, sweetheart."

He climbs out of bed, and I instantly miss his warmth. I twirl around as he grabs the ugly mug he gifted me. This time, instead of having wine, it is filled with coffee. It smells exactly like the coffee I love with oat milk and vanilla syrup.
