Sweet Addiction

Lexi's POV:

When I wake up, I'm a little tired but I feel so good. Everything feels good; it's not too hot or cold in our room, it feels perfect and I'm completely relaxed. I'm curled up with my head on Amari's chest and his arm around my shoulders.

I kiss him awake and Amari's face lights up when he's fully awake.

"I win," I whisper, and he raises an eyebrow, expecting me to explain what I mean. "I woke up first this morning."

Amari chuckles. "Yeah, yeah," he murmurs, ruffling my hair, which is still brown and only has little bits of pink peeking through. "They didn't tell Roman who Rita is. He has no clue what we're doing."

I frown because I'm still annoyed that I have to help Roman, the biggest piece of shit on Earth, find his second chance soulmate. It's infuriating because Roman does not deserve a second chance; he kidnapped and turned Kayden, so in my eyes, he deserves nothing but being stuck in the dungeon.

Or, I'd be happy to get him a one way ticket to the Punisher.

The thought of that makes me smile.

"Sugar, please get the evil smile off of your face," Amari begs me, and I huff irritably because I like my evil smile while thinking about sending Roman to the Punisher. "I don't even want to know what you're thinking about, sweetheart."

I frown. "Do we have to get up?" I ask, and Amari nods. "Ugh, fuck mornings."

"You like waking up early, Lex."

"I either like waking up at dawn or I like sleeping in until noon. I'm really feeling like sleeping till noon today."

Amari gets up and strokes his naked cock, casting me a smirk and a wink. "I guess I'll have to shower alone then and get myself off..."

Ugh, he knows I want to play with him whenever I can!

"You're a jerk," I mumble, getting out of bed and scrambling after Amari.

"I know!" Amari calls, turning on the shower and stepping inside, his cock standing at attention.

I fall on my knees as soon as I step into the shower, making Amari wince at how hard my knees slam into the floor.

We end up showering for an hour.

"Finally," Elijah growls as we walk out into the kitchen in with smiles on our faces and our hair dripping onto our clothes. "You two took forever. I was worried you wouldn't appreciate the breakfast I worked so hard on!"

Greyson scoffs, Levi sitting on his lap with a loving smile on his face as he watches Elijah rant.

"You cracked the eggs," Greyson deadpans.

Elijah glares. "It was a crucial part of the meal! You can't make pancakes without cracked eggs!"

"I mean, there is a brand of just-add-water mix," Levi comments, and Elijah stomps over him and grabs his arm.

"Well, now you pissed me off and I need to fuck out my frustrations!" Elijah growls, but Levi does not seemed upset by that.

In fact, he blushes and pulls his arm out of Elijah's grasp and takes his hand instead. Of course, Greyson refuses to be left out and he throws us a wink before following his other two soulmates.

"Pancakes!" I chirp, running over to the stove where Master Alastor (he can cook?!) is flipping pancakes. "Master Alastor?"
