“I’m not a morning person,” she mumbles.

“I am,” I say, playfully palming her ass. She nestles closer to me, burying her face in my shoulder.

“Can we play hooky today?”

“You can, but I’ll probably get in trouble.”

“Fine.” She sighs and slowly lifts her head. “Hey, look, I’m still here.”

“Damn straight.” I reach over with one arm and tug her on top of me. “Good morning.”

“It’s never a good morning if I’m up before nine.”

“It’s probably going to take an hour to get you to the set in morning traffic, and another hour for me to get to practice.”

“You sure you don’t want me to take Reid’s truck? He can get a ride from one of the guys. Or even you.”

I hesitate. Not because I don’t want to but two hours of driving is a lot before practice. And if there’s an accident or anything unexpected, I might be late, which sets a bad precedent for the season.

“What time do you have to be there?”

“I don’t have a set time. I have assistants who can handle anything that comes up before I get there. What about you?”

“Practice is at ten. I’ll be done by noon.”

“If you can drop me off at Reid’s, I’ll go in early, get ahead of some work because we’re shooting the Halloween episode next week. That’s going to require some effort on my part. I’ll take off around noon, and meet you here between twelve thirty and one, depending on traffic?”

“Sounds like a plan.” I kiss her, softly, because we don’t have time to start anything. “Do you want to go out tonight? Should I make a reservation?”

“I was thinking we could stay in tonight,” she says carefully. “Just relax.”

“I’m sorry I have so many roommates,” I mumble. “It means we’re stuck in my room.”

She chuckles. “I don’t think ‘stuck’ is the word I would use for cuddling in bed with you.”

Damn, but she’s sweet.

“We can stay in and order takeout. I’ll try to get my packing done before you get here.”

“Perfect.” She presses her mouth to mine, and my tongue slides between her lips without hesitation.

She’s warm and soft draped all over me, and my hand finds its way into the hair at the back of her neck. I kiss her thoroughly, passionately, even knowing we don’t have time for this go anywhere.

“I wish we had time,” I murmur, pulling away.

“We’ll have all afternoon for that.” She rolls onto her back and reaches for her phone. “Oh, it’s a good thing we got up early. Apparently, there’s an issue. God dammit.” She swings her legs over the side of the bed, gets up, and puts her phone to her ear as she heads toward the bathroom in all her naked glory.

I fucking love her body.

She has curves in all the right places, with a heart-shaped ass that I love to kiss. Her breasts fit perfectly in my hands, and there’s nothing better than her wrapping her long, toned legs around me as I’m fucking her.

I’m hard again just thinking about it.

But we both have responsibilities today, so I tamp down my libido and focus on getting ready for practice.

Maya’s dressed and ready to go in twenty minutes, her long hair up in a ponytail and no makeup.

“We have to get going,” she says.
