Even Better Together

chapter ten

Sophia

The sun is streaming in my window as I wake from my slumber.

I feel my legs interwined with Hunter's, a smile appears remembering the date yesterday and our intimacy last night.

I've only slept with a few guys in the past, but none have made me feel the way Hunter did last night. The adoration in his eyes, the care he took when handling my considerably smaller frame.

Is this what being with the right person feels like?

I turn in Hunter's hold to look at my clock at the right hand side of my bed.

Shit.

I have my yoga class this morning!

This is not like me, I always set my alarm for 5.30am so I have enough time to shower, eat something and head to the sports centre.

"Five more minutes." Hunter stirs at the side of me.

I jump out of bed and head straight to find my phone. I frantically rush around my room, pulling together an outfit and gathering my bag.

"Hey, where's the fire?" Hunter props himself up on his elbows, brows furrowed in confusion of my behavior.

I don't answer him as I'm trying to collect my things ready to head to the bathroom for a shower, he reaches out for my arms, which makes me jump and when I snap out of my trance, he is standing right next to me.

"Hunter your naked!" I whisper yell. "I need to go to the shower, I'm late for work."

"Soph, calm down. I have my car here so I can drop you at work." He soothingly rubs up and down my shoulders, trying to relax me.

"Uh- Would that be alright?"

"Yes, go and shower. I'll get dressed and we can leave."

I reach up on my toes and kiss his cheek, smiling as I run through door.

"Thank you!"

After the initial panic that I was going to be late, Hunter got me to work right on time.

I like to get here and stretch to warm up my body before I start my class.

"Hey-" Hunter starts, holding onto my elbow as I open his car door. "How about I come back for you when your done and we can grab some breakfast?"

"Sure, I get out at 8.30am."

Breakfast would be great after all the energy I used up last night, I'm definitely needing more than my usual smoothie.

"Perfect, I'll be back here waiting beautiful."

I peck his cheek before exiting his car, I definitely need to get on my mat and stretch my tender muscles out.

After my class leaves the studio, I guzzle my water down and step back on my mat to stretch my arms down to the ground and move into a plank pose. I follow through with downward dog. My thighs are very tender from Hunter last night, so I need a couple minutes more of extra stretching.

"I could watch you do this all day." I hear suddenly.

I unwind from my position, coming down to my knees, turning my head to the door with a smile.

Hunter.

"What are you doing in here?" I ask, rolling my mat away, placing it in the basket in the corner of the studio.

"I thought I would come and check out what you do here, and I have to say, I maybe missing out." He chuckles as he approaches me.

"You in this tiny outfit, looking beautiful, moving your body that way."
