Dominic's POV (the morning after)

I wake up this morning and immediately notice three things that should not be the way they are. First, I'm on the couch. Second, I have an enormous crick in my neck. And finally, there's a pretty Russian girl using me as a pillow. I look at my watch and notice that it's about 3:50 in the morning and know that it's time for me to get up. When I try to though, I get an interesting surprise.

"No", Lera says sleepily.

"Yes", I say bluntly, knowing that I need to get up if I want to finish my morning workout in time for my evaluation from Mike. I try again and receive the same reaction.

"NO. It's too damn early for this shit", Lera says with significantly more force this time. At this point I just slide myself out from under her and start walking away. I go to my room and change into a pair of long black sweat pants, a multicam black sweatshirt, and a pair of Under Armor light step sneakers. I walk into my gym and tell A.R.I.E.S. to start my workout playlist while I set the treadmill to my warm up, a ten mile run at jogging pace. I laugh a little when the first song A.R.I.E.S. puts on is "Casual Sex", by My Darkest Days. I'm about halfway through my run when Lera walks into the room with a groggy looking face.

(Imma just start adding these in because they seem to help humanize the characters)

"What's up", I ask, not even short of breath.

"The couch got cold after you left", she says with a sleepy grin.

"Sorry. I had to get up if I wanted to finish before 8. I have to get my physical eval. today.", I tell her with a slight grin.

"You have a 4 hour morning workout", she says, her face aghast with disbelief. 

"Three and a half, I like to take longer shower in the morning, then breakfast", I answer her cheerfully.

"You must be fucking ripped", she says back.

"Didn't you watch the Six Invitational last year", I ask bluntly.

"Yeah, but I was so far away I couldn't see in detail through your ink", she tells me with a little bit of disappointment. 

"Well if you stick around long enough, you just might get another chance", I say jokingly.

"Promise?", Lera says back. I laugh out loud and notice that the treadmill is starting to slow down for the final stretch. Lera notices this as well and walks up beside me.

"What are you doing?", I ask her bluntly.

"If you're so blatantly dedicated to this workout that you'll get out from under a cute girl, it must be something. I'm gonna join you", Lera says with a smirk.

"Good luck. No one I've ever known has been able to keep up, Lera. Not even Nomad", I tell her honestly.

"Is that a challenge?", she asks with a devilish grin.

"No, just a warning", I say back with a devilish grin of my own.

Dominic's POV (exactly 3 hours and 45 minutes later)

I drop down from the ceiling and stretch my arms out to get the feeling of tension back out of them. I then look over to the corner where Lera now sits looking disturbed.

"Are you a damn machine?", she asks with no hint of humor.

"No, just been doing this for years", I look to her and say.  She looks relieved and I offer her a hand up. She takes it eagerly and laughs when I accidentally pull her a few inches into the air.
