Jamie's POV

The first thing I see when I open my eyes is brown depths. Soulful brown eyes gazing at me so fondly it leaves me short of breath. I say nothing, only smile idiotically till my cheeks ache. It's too early, but we're both too content to care. So early, that the sun hasn't risen into the sky yet, but the lightened blue sky dimly aluminates our naked bodies tangled up in the sheets.

His big hands come up to cup my cheeks, Riley inches forward to tenderly plant his lips against mine.

"Gah," he instantly pulls away with a crinkled nose. "I should have brushed my teeth first. Why don't books and movies never mention morning breath?"

"Inconvenience." I answer, slowing getting up.

"Are you really hogging the sheets?" Riley groans, as I hug all the sheets to my body in a makeshift dress. Hands behind his head, Riley looks up me from the messy bed stark naked.

"You're the one who mentioned morning breath."

"Lets hurry then." Riley yawns, following me into the small bathroom. Just as Riley starts brushing, he rests his chin on my messy red hair, lazily lopping an arm around my bare shoulders to hold me to his chest.

"Don't get toothpaste in my hair." I mumble through a mouthful of foaming paste. His chin nudges against my head as he tiredly nods. Though tired, Riley goes out of his way to finish up too quickly.

"Brush faster." He urges, sliding his lips down my neck.

"You're making it hard to focus." I barely manage, my eyes falling shut at his touch. Impatient, Riley pulls the toothbrush out of my mouth. I barely have time to rinse when he gathers me up in his arms.

"Couldn't let me finish?" I joke, my thighs squeezing his sides the higher he lifts me.

"You're too slow." He smirks, his hand sliding under the sheet knotted around my body. Our eyes burn into each other's as he carries me back to bed, silent sweet nothings exchanging between our lustful gazes.

"You should have showered with me," Riley dries his wet hair with a towel. "We could have lowered the water bill."

"Tempting." I start, hopping in place as I pull on an old pair of jeans. "But lets be honest, if we're both in there the water bill will double. We'll probably be in there till all the hot water in the building is gone." Riley just smirks to himself, knowing I'm right.

"This is going to sound weird," Riley starts, his brown eyes slowly running up my half dressed body. "You make putting on clothes sexy." My fingers freeze on my belt loops, while trying to keep a straight face.

"Shut up." He grumbles, pushing a blue sweater off the shelf over my red head. Just as my head passes the collar Riley swoops down and kisses me so hard I stumble into the wall.

"I have to go work." I reluctantly pull away.

"Damn it." He sighs into my hair. "Alright, I'll drive you. Just let me get dressed." With a smirk, he lets the towel around his waist fall to the floor. Mouth curling into a grin, I fight to keep eye contact with him so I don't get distracted from my job.

"You know Jamie, you could call in sick." Riley wags his brows at me.

"I could." I manage. "But my goal in life is to have a full 401k." I step around him, feeling his eyes follow me.

"You know what's weird? Me being more attractive to you, because you just passed up sex with me for a retirement plan." Riley groans, pinching the space between eyes.
