Forever and Always

Part Seventeen

"Good morning." I heard Riley voice as he walked through my room towards my bed.

It was so early, like 6 am on a Saturday.

I was so tired the only thing I could get out was a grunt.

"They say you shouldn't poke a bear but I'm about to." He said climbing on top of me.

"Nooooo." I said dramatically. I used my weak hands to pull the blankets over my face.

"Love me." He whispered into my one exposed ear.

"I do." I said trying to become a small ball under his chest.

"You said you would come to big 'W' today." Riley said.

I slowly gathered strength as he talked.

"if you don't answer I'm going to come under there with you." He taunted in a joking manner.

I waited.

"Ciera?" It sounded like a question.

Silence.

Out of nowhere I pounced out of my blanket and wrapped all limbs around him, flipping onto his back.

My calves anchored down his thighs and my hands held down his shoulders.

I growled.

"What the," He began with a smile. "Damn your sexy in the morning." He said.

I grabbed this throat half rough half gently.

"Whoever told you not to poke the bear was right. You should've listened. Now you'll pay!" I almost yelled.

I kissed his soft lips and went down to his neck.

"Well if this is the punishment I'm poking the bear every time I get the chance." He said laughing.

I slowly kissed in one very soft part of his neck and gently suckled.

"Are you giving me a hickie?" He said putting his hands on my thighs.

I moved from the now red spot and moved back up to his lips.

"What is going on?" He said laughing.

'Shhhh' I pushed my pointer finger up against his lips.

"Wait your," He watched me watch his face very carefully as I moved down his body with my legs.
"Ciera its 6am! Your parents are home!" He said with an obnoxious smile.

"Oh, stop I'm not going down on you." I said with a laugh.

"Wait your not?" He sounded kind of let down.

"No, I have to start getting ready for our drive to Winona. I'm not going looking like this." I said getting up and walking over to my vanity.

"Damn you're a tease." He said sitting up.

He slowly came over to my chair and put his arm around me from behind.

"You've lost weight. I mean I noticed when you got back but it just didn't really occur to me." I said looking at him in my mirror.

"I know. I'm getting a personal trainer in January to help me regain muscle and gain weight." He said flexing his arm.

He still had plenty of muscle on his arms and stomach, but his waist and arms were just skinnier.

He pushed his hair back with one hand and got off of my shoulder.

"I love you." I said locking his eyes in the mirror.
