I woke up and my neck was stiff. My head wasn't laying on a soft, feathery pillow. I was practically on top of Cody.
The morning sun was peaking past the curtains and creating little beams of light, scattered across the darkened hotel room. I could hear his slow heartbeat, and his patterned breathing. I almost fell back to sleep at the soothing sound.
I moved my legs around, trying to stretch without waking him, but I failed.
"Hey," He said, his eyes barely open, arms pulling me closer. "Where you going?"
"No where," I laughed looking up at his face. "I just woke up too."
"You don't look like you just woke up. How can someone be that beautiful this early in the morning?" He asked, turning to face me.
I looked down, my cheeks undoubtedly red. "Cody,"
"I mean it, you don't look like you were begging me for round three a few hours ago-." He said, bare body so close to mine.
"I don't?" I asked, leaning up on my elbow, hair dangling across my shoulders and chest.
"No," He whispered, running his thumb across my bottom lip as his hand caressed my face. "You look perfect."
He swiftly moved towards me, eyes closed.
"Nope," I said, pushing him back. "I can't kiss you until after I brush my teeth."
"Oh come on, I know that mouth is dirty but..." He said, giving me a quick wink.
"No," I laughed, turning away.
This only led to him to grab my cheeks, squeezing them into a pout. "Come on, T." He said with a loud laugh.
"One kiss,"

I sat on the balcony in my robe. I was putting off going back to my room for as long as possible. Cody was taking a shower and I was soaking in the beautiful view below.
Last night was truly amazing, every time I closed my eyes I could hear his moans and feel his lips on my skin.
I felt so much closer to him, sadly sex is probably the only thing that can be kept between the two of us. Which is fine. I like being his dirty, little secret in a way.
"Hey," He said, making me jump. He leaned on the railing next to me, just a white towel tied around his waist. "I thought you went back to your room."
"No, sorry." I laughed, taking a sip of my coffee. "This view, I can't get over it."
"I know." He said, kissing the side of my head. "But I do have one last game tonight, and I have to leave in a half hour."
"I know," I said with a sigh. "I just got a lineup alert on my phone."
"You dork." He said, nudging my arm.
"I should go see what and who Penn is up to anyway." I laughed.
"Lucky you," Cody chuckled, stretching his arms.
"Ouch." I mumbled as I walked back into the room.
"What's the matter, are you sore?" He asked with a devious grin on his beautiful face.
"I, I think so." I stammered, pacing into the bedroom.
"Good." He laughed. "You can enjoy your own hotel room tonight, I don't have any connections with this stadium,."
"It's okay,." I pouted, jokingly. "You're right."
