About forty-five minutes later, after Gabe exerted some effort into showing me one of the occasions it was good he was bossy, I was a human noodle, and he was rejoining me in bed after cleanup part two.

“Sleep,” he grunted.

“Awright,” I mumbled, so sexed out, I was unable to fully enunciate.

Gabe chuckled.

I fell asleep.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The next morning, I woke with Gabe’s hand on my belly.

And him calling, “Baby, time to hit it.”

I opened my eyes.

He was standing beside the bed.

I was groggy.

Though, I wasn’t so groggy I didn’t comprehend that I preferred that face, beard, body, and the man they all belonged to in my bed, not standing beside it.

He was grinning massively.

“Whad dime iz id?” I mumbled.

I wouldn’t think his grin could get bigger, but it did when I mumbled that.

He then said, “It’s five to four.”

What human in their right mind would be standing beside a bed, awake and alert at five to four, and do this smiling massively?

Concerned I’d woken up in an episode of Black Mirror, I pushed up on my elbows and shoved the sleep from my brain (well, most of it, again, it was five to four).

“Why are you grinning?” I asked.

“Look at you.”

I gazed down at myself.

We slept in the nude (though, Gabe had his boxer briefs on now).

I wasn’t a nude sleeper.

I had no issue being that with Gabe.

But the covers were up over my breasts, and other than that, it was just my body in my bed hitting my eyes.

I turned back to look up at him, bewildered.

“You’re on your back,” he stated.

“And?” I pushed.

“I woke up with you sprawled beside me, taking up most of the bed.”
