DANIEL HARPER

After breakfast, none of us had any energy to do anything. My legs were still sore and Lucien, well, he seemed to just want to sleep next to me.

Lucien kept hugging me and refused to let me go. I was a bit exhausted and fell asleep in his arms. When I woke up, it was noon. Lucien was underneath me, still hugging me close. I watched him as he snored and made cute faces while he slept.

"Fuck." I groaned. I stood up and remembered the pain in my legs.

"Something wrong?." Lucien said from behind me. I turned to see Lucien looking at me with concern.

"My ass hurts. Are you sure you didn't break something?" I asked jokingly.

"I can check if you want." Lucien said. My face turned red.

"I need to shower. I'll be back." I said.

I waddled my way to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I used the free shampoo and soap the hotel provides and cleaned myself up. That's when I remembered I didn't have spare clothes.

"Lucien!" I called out from the door.

"Yes, Danny?." He called back.

"I didn't bring any clothes!"

"I told you to bring some but you didn't want to." He called.

"Do you have anything I could borrow?" I asked.

I heard silence. I thought maybe Lucien was gonna leave me naked all day. He'd probably like that.

"Here. That's all I have." He appeared from the door and handed me a shirt.

"It's just a shirt! I can't wear this!" I said.

"We're staying in all day. My parents paid a fortune for this room and we're staying the whole two days." He told me.

I rolled my eyes. I saw the Marina and the Diamonds shirt and noticed it was way too big for me. But I decided to put it over myself. It reached my mid-thigh. It might as well been a nightgown.

I entered the living room and saw Lucien looking at me with his lusty eyes.

"Enjoying your outfit?" He asked.

"I feel exposed." I replied. I sat next to him, pushing down the shirt so it doesn't roll up too much. I took a look at Lucien, who only wore tight briefs. I also saw his semi-bulge and its growing size.

Lucien sighed and picked me up, sitting me on his lap.

"Lucien!" I giggled.

"You're too adorable to not carry!" He tickled my chest.

"No! Lucien! The shirt!" I yelled as it began to reveal me. He didn't seem to care, and actually encouraged it.

"My sweet Danny. What did I do to deserve you?" He said. He looked down at me. His amber eyes stared deep into my soul. He's giving me the look. The one that says it all.

"Danny." He said my name.

"Lucien?" I asked.

"Danny. I... I lo...st my watch at the gala last night! I'll be back!" He said. He placed me on the couch and ran to the room, closing the door behind him.

For a minute there, I thought he was going to say those three words. Maybe he was but got scared. It is a big thing to say. But would I say it back? Honestly, I'm kinda thankful Lucien didn't say it. I'll need more time to say it.

Plus, it's still too early. Or do Italians fall faster?

I sat on the couch and watched TV while Lucien did whatever. He opened the door and came back out.

"Called my parents. They found it near the magnolias in the gardens. Heh..." He awkwardly chuckled.

"What do you wanna do today? I don't wanna stay here all day." I told him.

"We're in the Bronx. What do you want to do?" He asked.

"Everything...!" I said.

"Slow down, Danny Boy. Let's do one thing at a time." He told me.

"Then let's go to the Bronx Zoo. I've always wanted to go." I said.

"Sure. Let's go right now." He held out his hand.

I eagerly got up and grabbed his hand and began leading him to the front door. I was so excited because I've always loved zoos.

"Uh, Danny?" Lucien said from behind me.

"Yeah?" I turned to see him looking me up and down.

"You can't go out like that." He told me.

I looked down and saw I was only wearing Lucien's large shirt.

"Right. I need clothes." I said.

Lucien chuckled and rolled his eyes. "I'll go shopping and get you some. Then we can go to the zoo." He said.

I cheered as Lucien walked out the room while I sat on the bed thinking about the animals I would see.

Lucien and I definitely had an interesting morning today. How did I manage to tame this man?
