Hooking Up with The Beta

The Morning After

Eva's POV

I wake up the next morning and Kris isn't there. Did I fantasize the entire night? I have never slept so well in my entire life! My body woke up with renewed energy., feeling rejuvenated from head to toe. Love never felt so good!

I sit up and glance around quickly. There is no sign of him and everything is silent in the master living room, but his scent is everywhere! The room is beautifully flooded by the Las Vegas sun and his citrus scent! Everything around me looks familiar... except it's not my suite. I don't recognize any of the organized chaos I left in my room. His strong but alluring scent is everywhere! My body wants nothing more than to stay in this bed, but I remember the deal I made with him last night!

I didn't expect him to say yes but he did! Now I think it would be best for me to leave before the magic of last night wears off. My penthouse was just a floor below his. I get out of bed and quickly collect my belongings and try to sneak out of his penthouse. I open the door and freeze. Kris is standing right in front of me with 2 cups of coffee and a glorious smile.

"Good morning." he says as he walks inside. He waves the cups at me and then places them on the table. I take the one closest to me and cautiously sip it. It's strong. Like really strong. I hope it's not too obvious that I'm a lightweight when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm trying my hardest to control any grimace that might occur on my face, particularly around my eyebrows.

"I hope coffee is your thing." Hmmm. He seems shyer this morning as he smiles and appears quieter. Maybe he's introverted... or maybe it's that morning after awkwardness. I'm okay with it either way. It's actually kinda cute.

"Oh it is. Thank you, by the way." I should probably cover up any slight grimace that might have occurred. "This is really good... And really strong, holy moon!"

He chuckles. "I find that it's the perfect pick me up." No kidding. "If you carefully open up the lid," he adds, "You can see your reflection perfectly. Perhaps even better than an actual mirror." I open up the lid to test his theory. Huh. It really does capture me perfectly... smeared makeup and all.

I smile at him while pointing towards the door.

"I'll see myself out and give you some well-deserved space..."

"So soon?" Am I hearing disappointment in his voice?

"Well, I don't want to abuse your kindness..."

"What kindness are you referring to Eva?"

"The favor... last night..."

"The favor went both ways!" he pauses and readjusts his posture. His body language seems slightly awkward and cute. He looks at his coffee, glances around the room before focusing on my face. "In fact... I was wondering if I could ask you for a favor."

Well, it seems fair to me. I nod as I sip my coffee and let the flavor settle and dance with the taste buds on my tongue.

"I was wondering... well... if you would be mine for another night. Only if you want to." His voice comes out in such a cute and innocent tone. How can I refuse?

Before I choke in reaction to my excitement to his question, I swallow my drink and shiver as the bitterness conquers my entire mouth. I take a minute to swallow the aftertaste. Goddess, that's strong.

"I'd love to. Besides, I have one more night here in Vegas. Shall I invite you one floor below to my penthouse this time around?"

He playfully chuckles as he shakes his head and smiles.

"On one condition..." he says as he places his right hand on his heart.

"Yes?" I impatiently ask him.

"If I'm going to spend the night in your bed, then I insist that we have breakfast in that bed as well! I am not an easy man, you know!" he bargains as he mimics what he perceives to be my voice. I can't help but chuckle in return. We slowly but surely begin to walk towards the door. "So what do we do between now and tonight?"

"I'd love to spend the day with you and show you Las Vegas. My Las Vegas." he offers.

"Deal. Let me go clean up."

"Perfect. Let's meet up in the lobby in two hours."

"It's a date." I whisper in his ears.

He then leans forward and pecks my left cheek as I leave. How wholesome!
