"Hey, hey. We have to-" The loudest squeal my mouth ever produced releases once Mason began to attack my neck with kisses. "Mason!"

His laugh just tickled my neck even more and I burst out in laughter. He went down to my shoulder, poking at my sides. Squirming away, my laughter grew, and his lips made their way onto my face. Mason finally finished his torture, giving my lips a quick peck before smiling at me.

"That's a sound I enjoy hearing when I first wake up," he said once my laughter calmed.

"No, you just love torturing me," I teased, turning to my original position to face him.

"I wouldn't do such a thing."

I brought my arms around him, then goosebumps ran up my arm, and it easily reminded me that I was bare naked under this blanket. We took relaxing a little too far. But would I complain? Absolutely not.

Staying in bed all day with this gorgeous man next to me isn't an option. Per his parents' request, he has to get familiar with everything that surrounds their business. With the help of Jacey, of course. I'm more familiar with my organization but I've already offered to help out if need be. Not like I'd deny the opportunity anyway.

"I don't think I've said this enough," Mason started, bringing an arm around my waist and bringing me closer. "But I'm more than happy that you gave me a second chance."

I couldn't even prevent the smile that spread on my face even if I wanted to.

"Don't look at me like that," he mumbled, his cheeks growing a bright red.

"You're cute when you get shy on me, baby."

"Don't point it out," he whined, turning away and bringing a pillow over his head.

Shaking my head, I peeked over his shoulder. Mason grunted, scooting away slightly and adjusting his pillow, failing to hide him peeking out at me.

"Alright, I'll keep my kisses to myself then." I stuck my tongue out at him, moving to my original spot.

Before I could turn away from him, I let out a yelp when he yanked me back and pulled me over his body then caging me against him. My smart remarks were silenced when his lips were on mine, taking away the very air I breathed. My arm looped around his neck, pulling him closer while his hand snaked its way up my right side.

Mason took his free hand, bringing my thigh around his waist before pulling me directly against his chest. A quiet moan slipped past my lips when he squeezed my ass roughly then began to rub over that exact spot. He moved his head to my neck, nipping at a spot then sucking gently.

"Mason! Lyra!" Jacey yelled from downstairs, making Mason groan loudly as a response. "Come on, we have work to do remember!"

The huff he released made me giggle before he started mumbling under his breath and holding me tighter. I patted his arm, chuckling then tilted his head up, shaking my head at his sudden pout.

"Your sister is right- hey, stop that," I quickly said when he started to groan again. "Besides, I need clothes from my house since someone decided to have a last-minute sleepover."

"You got to admit... it was a great sleepover," he smirked, pecking my lips.

That goddamn smirk.

"Come on, you have to start being a co-owner today."

I stood up from the bed, pulling on a pair of Mason's shorts and his tee shirt. Glancing behind me, the first thing I seen was that smug grin on his face. Will I regret asking?

"Why're you grinning at me?"

"Because you look really good in my clothes, sweetheart."

My cheeks warmed but I already turned away before he could catch it. While he threw on proper clothes, I picked up the few things I had with me then jogged downstairs, pushing the mess of hair out of my face. The air hit me like a truck, and I quickly brought my arms around myself.
