His Sinful Pleasure. A Henry Cavill Story

9 Good Morning

I was tossing and turning all night. I did not even end up moving to my room, I brushed my teeth and found myself back on my living room couch with Kal, that rascal. The couch still smelled of her, as did my shirt with the scent of her freshly washed damp hair... it was torture. Every time I closed my eyes I imagined her, the lips, the eyes, the hair, the everything, and most importantly her body against mine. Somehow I made it to morning, I had a run in hopes it would air out my thoughts but it barely helped. After my shower I was back in my kitchen making breakfast and wondered whether to go in and wake her but figured she would be exhausted. To my surprise I was wrong, Kal's woof roused me from my thoughts,

"Good morning," her beautiful voice sounded from behind me as I stood at the stove, sending the most velvety shiver through me. I turned and found her petting Kal, looking radiant with no makeup, her hair now dried was in unruly bed curls and I thought she looked too hot, here we go,

"Good morning," I respond, I knew full well she was talking to Kal but too bad, Kal cannot speak English now can he, "sleep well?" I say with an obvious smirk on my face, she tortured me all night by leaving so it is my turn now, I decided this was the best way to tease her. 

"Fine thank you, and you?" she said trying to act nonchalantly, like she was never in my arms last night.

"Blissfully... thank you," I teasingly annunciate every one of the words, I can see she noted the fire within my eyes as her cheeks flushed, yes, blissfully before you left me, cheeky girl. Quickly, she was petting Kal again and ignoring my look that I was boring into her with.

"How is your arm feeling?" I ask as I continue to make us some breakfast.

"Hurts a bit, but otherwise fine, Dwight fixed it up perfectly" she answers, so it probably hurts quite a bit but she will never admit that to me, I can read right through her tone when she tries to hide the truth. Of course she just cannot help but mention Dwight, ok calm down Henry. 

"I am glad you are all right," I say and plate the food.

"Henry, I hate to ask more of you but would you be able to drive me back to the studio today?" her voice was soft and sweet, god baby when will you get it through your head that anything you ask me I will do! Her sweet face was looking into my soul like she just asked me to commit a crime of some sort not drive her, oh this girl.

"Of course, I have to go there myself today, and please, do not feel bad for asking! Come on, lets eat," I say bringing over the plates to the kitchen table. Slowly and shyly, Maria follows and sits opposite me.

"Thank you," she whispers, "Henry if there is anything I can do for you in return please tell me, I hate being in your debt without a hint of being able to do something in return." 

I look up at her from across the table, she keeps my eye contact for the first time since last nights moment of potential kiss, but this expression says, 'I am serious, tell me how to repay my debt to you.' Oh god can I think of a few things you can do darling.... for one, just let me fucking kiss those sweet lips already, then we can see where it goes, oh where it will go... I feel my lips inevitably twist into a smirk, the smirk she cannot handle and which so evidently causes her to look away from me yet again. 

"How about this, if I think of something, I will let you know," I say cheekily, causing her to look back up at me and in that instant I cannot help it, I wink at her and she blushes as she is taken aback by my wink. Oh how fun she is to tease. And yes, one day I will ask her to do something for me, but I must make it good, at this thought I happily dig into my food as she sits silently in awe at me probably guessing what I am thinking. Yes, darling, lets keep you on your toes.  

"Don't worry yourself so much, you are in a bad situation, we will work it out," I say sweetly, trying to calm her down as I can sense she is still turning over my words from before. I mean it of course, we will work it all out, that and the kiss, I'm sure of it...

I drove us to the studio and we found ourselves amidst familiar walls. I was due for my meeting with Rick to discuss the film and sign the contract, basically all the usual boring stuff before beginning of a new picture. Maria and I made our way through the studio halls. I notice Maria is checking every room, clearly looking for someone. I was about to ask her but was interrupted as Rick turned the corner and appeared in front of us.

"You! There you are, finally!" Rick almost yells from across the hall and sprint walks towards us, jeez did not realize he needed to see me that badly, I wasn't late in anyway as we did not set a time or anything. But then it hits me, he is not talking to me, he's looking straight at Maria who is looking scared and confused. 

"Hi Henry," Rick briefly acknowledges my presence and turns back to the girl beside me. 

"Young lady this is insanity, making a director chase you around the studio for days!" His hands land on his hips, causing Maria to look up at him with even more fear than before, I do not blame her, the man can be truly terrifying. But, what does he mean he's been chasing her, why?

"Look I am sorry I never apologized for that incident during Henry's audition, I really did not mean anything by it, I am very sorry. Also, I think you would be happy to know I quit yesterday anyways so do not worry you will not be seeing my face here again," Maria breathes out the words so fast as Rick and I stare her down. 

"You did what? Quit? Why didn't Ruth tell me? That woman!.. Darling just why do you think I have been chasing after you?" Rick's expression does not soften and I just stare at the scene, more confused than ever.

"To fire me?" Maria mumbles and looks down at her feet in shame. I want to hug and shelter her from this stupid man but before I can say anything his voice interrupts my thoughts.

"Come with me.... Both of you," Rick says and begins to walk away, giving each other a look of total confusion Maria and I follow the strange man down the meandering halls...
