The Thread Between Danny and Me

Chapter 35: I keep distracting you

The alarm went off.

I groaned, reached for my phone, and shut it off. Danny rolled over and brought me to himself. Our nakedness collided as he kissed me.

"Mornin', Darlin'," he said gently.

"Good morning." I nuzzled into his chest.

He gently rubbed my back.

We made love twice yesterday, and my body was keenly aware of it. I felt sore everywhere, but it was worth it.

I wanted him again.

"I don't want to go to work," I murmured against his lips. "I want to spend all day in bed with you."

He smiled. "We spent all day in bed together yesterday."

"And it wasn't enough."

"Mmmm."

"Danny," I ached.

"Do you have time?"

I reached for my phone and looked at it. "If I don't take Rojo to doggy daycare today, yeah."

"Rojo can stay with me." He placed his hand on my stomach.

I leaned into him.

"Maybe," Danny said as he kissed my neck, "we should take this to the shower."

"Good idea."

We went to the shower. Danny turned it on and grabbed my soap. "Allow me," he said.

I decided nothing is more arousing than a naked, muscular man kneeling and gently soaping with his hands.

When he was finished, I did the same for him. And I witnessed his strength when he picked me up and held me as we made love.

"MJ," he said caressing my cheek afterward. "You are a goddess among women."

"Am I?" I grinned.

"Yes. You're so wonderful. I...I'm gonna miss you today."

I leaned into him. "Me too."

"We better hurry. Don't want you to be late."

"Yeah."

We exited the shower and toweled off. I diffused my hair and then put makeup on before going to my closet and grabbing my clothes.

Danny watched me rush around grabbing everything I needed for my workday.

"See you at six?" he asked.

"Hopefully sooner. I'll text you and let you know."

"Okay. Have a good day at work, Darlin'."

I kissed him. "Thank you. Have fun with whatever you're gonna do today."

"I'll probably go for a long run, work out, and maybe relax a bit."

"Good. You should. In that closet," I pointed, "is my yoga mat and weights. I know they're not heavy enough for you, but maybe you can make use of them."

His dimples showed as he smiled. "I love you."

"I love you."

I bent down and called Rojo. He came bounding and I gave him a hug and a pet. "You're gonna hang out with Danny today," I told him. "Oh, Danny, an even scoop for his breakfast."

"Sounds good."

I closed the door and went down the stairs. Everything within me ached to go back and spend another full day with Danny. But I had a couple of meetings and deadlines that couldn't wait.
