“Let’s get started, she has way less than Quinn did, that’s for sure,” Mason grumbles as he picks up a box and heads out the front door.
“I’m gonna let Audrey know you two knuckleheads are here, then I’ll help too.”
“Take your time, pretty sure you did most of the work for both of us a time or two,” Rome says.
I roll my eyes, “It’s what brothers do for one another.”
They carry on and I make my way to my woman, needing to see her like I need my next breath.

I get out of the shower, put on my undergarments, nothing too fancy. Last night was a long drive and I have a feeling today it will drag on even more so. Simply because I want to be home, and soon.
I finish my outfit with a pair of grey joggers, a white shirt that says, “For the love of pizza,” graphic tees are one of my go to’s. Plus, you can get them online and avoid stores, shopping from the comfort of your own couch is the best.
I throw my hair up in a messy top knot and put my dirty laundry in a plastic bag to put in a bag that hasn’t been packed yet.
“Audrey,” Heath comes into the bathroom garnering my attention.
“Just letting you know Rome and Mason are here, just a few more trips to his truck and we’ll be ready to go. You okay?” He asks.
“Absolutely, I can’t wait to create more memories with you,” my hands come up and around his neck. He moves towards me, lightly nipping at my bottom lip. Heath has an obsession with not only my bottom lip, but my thighs as well. From day one, his hands have been touching my legs, in some way or the other, and if we’re kissing, my bottom lip is being nipped, licked, and sucked on as much as possible.
“Let’s get this show on the road then, we still have a long trek back, and the unpacking,” Heath rolls his eyes, but I see the happiness in his eyes.
“I’m ready,” we both make it to the living room and see ninety percent is already loaded into Mason’s truck. I tried to help with the remaining, but they wouldn’t let me.
“I’m going to go turn my keys into the landlord while you finish up,” I tell Heath.
“Already taken care of, Babe.” That man, he thinks of everything.
“Well, okay then. I guess I’ll just wait until you allow me to do something,” I tease.
It’s kind of annoying with how much he does, almost doing too much for me, add in the fact that I know I’ll never be able to repay him for everything he’s done for me so far. It makes me bristle at times.
“Stand there and look pretty, you’ll be working your ass off when we get home,” he winks and I know just what he means. Last night when we were sated and lazing on the couch, Heath brought up a couple of things he’d like to do to me, and I told him about a certain fantasy I have. Let’s just say, I think once we’re home, we’ll be pulling out all the stops.
“Sure, sure. I’ll get right on that.” They finish packing everything up and then we make our way back home.

It’s taken this long, but it’s a beautiful morning, the weather isn’t too cold, but Audrey will still need a wetsuit this morning.
Audrey woke up when she felt me leave our bed this morning, “Where are you going?” she mumbled, her fingers graze down my stomach, reaching for me in the best way. It pained me to move her hand away, but I knew if we started, I would never get her out in the water this morning.
“Surfing, come on Babe, time to get you on a board,” I smack her bare ass and leave her in bed. I go down to the kitchen to make Audrey a cup of coffee. When it’s hot and ready, she walks down the stairs in her bikini, hair down and wild from our night in bed.
“Thank you,” Audrey comes up beside me, kissing my neck, something she likes to do when she’s feeling in a cuddly mood.
“Anytime, I’m going to get dressed, and we’ll head out. We won’t be out too long, just enough to learn some basics,” I tell her.
“Whatever you want, I’m excited to “attempt” to learn,” she put the attempt in air quotation marks and laughs.
“It’s going to be fun, just you wait,” I reply before I head upstairs, brushing my teeth, throwing a pair of board shorts on, and head back towards Audrey.
She’s outside, attempting to put her wetsuit on, I shouldn’t laugh but the way she’s trying to wiggle inside it.
“Let me help you.” We work together, my hands grabbing a feel every now and then. Once she’s in hers, I put mine on, grab my board, and her hand.
