I don't know if it's my alarm or his alarm that goes off this morning, but whoever's fucking alarm it is, it is too fucking early. The sound stops and I snuggle deeper under the covers.
"Kinsey, it's time to get up." Lex's voice, rumbly and thick with sleep coaxes me.
"I really don't want to." I grumble.
"No one would blame you if you took today off." He assures me.
"I'll think about that." I close my eyes and feel myself start to drift back to sleep. Lex presses a kiss to my cheek as he starts to crawl out of bed. "Where are you going?"
"No one would blame you if you stay in bed after the weekend you had, but I need to head in." He says dully.
"Stay in bed a little longer." I persuade him.
"You're going to get me in trouble, you know that?" He says in amused when I squeal. He gets back in and I roll over so I'm partially on top of him. He's warm and firm under my limbs. He clears his throat and moves stiffly under me.
"Are you uncomfortable that I'm going to make you late?" I tease.
"I'm uncomfortable because you are stark naked and I don't know if I'm allowed to do anything about it." He admits.
"Well it depends on what you want to do about it." I tilt my head back to look up at him.
His face is serious and his eyes are dark. I get a thrill down through my core and reach my hand up to the back of his neck, pulling him and I together. Our lips meet, moving hungrily with want for each other.
His hand moves down my back then around to the fullness of my breast. His thumb strums my hard nipple and I kiss him harder, curling my fingers into his hair. He growls and hoists me onto him fully, his hands moving down my back and squeezing the apples of my ass while his lips suck lightly on my neck. It feels incredible.
I've craved his lips on me, but then my poor decisions of the past couple days come flooding back into my mind. I push myself upright. "Wait."
I crawl off him and draw the sheet around me. He is breathing heavily and watching me carefully.
I start to speak. "I have to tell you what I did. You have to know before..."
He cuts me off. "I know you met someone."
"Well not exactly. I wasn't thinking clearly. I was mad and hurt. It's not an excuse." I chew my lip, hesitating.
"Did you sleep with this guy?" He asks bluntly.
"Once...BUT before you. I definitely went looking for him with that goal in mind after our fight, though." I force myself to be honest with him.
"And did you succeed?" His expression is unreadable.
"He was otherwise occupied...his sist..." I start to explain.
Lex holds up a hand. "I don't need to know details, Kinsey. Do you want to see him again?"
Damn. He had to ask that. "I...I don't know. I know that when I'm with you, I'm 100% with you, but I also don't know what this is."
"Yeah, coming out of my relationship with Cara the last thing I expected was another relationship right away." He replies, tucking an arm behind his head and staring off. The silence stretches between us.
"So maybe we should just slow things down? I mean, we both have a lot going on right now." I say hesitantly.
"I'm fine with whatever you need, but I like you and really want to see where this goes." His hand sneaks over and intertwines with mine. I smile.
