Waking the next morning I can't tear myself out of bed. My head sunken into the pillow I let my gaze rake shamelessly over Bellamy laid flat beside me. His dark curls drooped over his face all I wanted to do was run my fingers through them. Instead, I slide one leg after the other from under the sheet only to hear "Where do you think you're going?"

"To shower", I hum, glancing over my shoulder to give Bellamy a small smile "Some of us have a ship to finish welding together." Leaning back on my arm, I chirp "Not all of us have units to overlook in warzones."

A light smirk curls onto his lips, "You did look my file up."

"I'm CEO of Eligius remember", leaning closer as Bellamy shifts up under the cover, I run my fingers fondly through his hair. A light smile playing on my lips when I taunt "Course I did...Major General Bellamy Blake of the United States army. Ranking officer to the six most successful army battalions if the United States Military."

Humming, Bellamy inches up to rest his forehead against mine "I love it when you say my name like that Dr. Avery Armelle. Youngest graduate and most accomplished engineer and physicist in her fields." My smile widening, he teases his lips against mine "You don't think I read up on you too?" Admittedly that warms my heart that he went out of his way to read about me. Granted I've seen my face plastered everywhere so I'd believe it's a little unavoidable.

As my lips brush his I slide out from Bellamy's hold very aware of the black dress shirt of his I wear as well as my snug black panties. I'm not proud of it, but my hips sway a little more as I wander out the large bedroom door "I'm going to get some food. If you hurry in the shower I might just let you have some."

"You're wearing the only shirt I brought with me!"

Waltzing back I lean in the doorway with a smug smirk "They why don't you come and get it, soldier?" It's a game. He knows I'm dangling the torment right in front of him. Pursing his lips I watch him think on it for a moment before the covers are discarded. Padding across the room my breath momentarily hitches in my throat seeing him in only his briefs. Knowing I'm playing with fire I wander back towards the kitchen in a way that only makes Bellamy's smirk deepened.
