I sit up, rolling onto my back next to him and basking in the afterglow.

“God, I’ve been needing that for weeks,” Ryan admits, and I giggle.

“I know. I just wanted to make sure you were fully healed before we did anything too strenuous.”

He turns his head to look at me. “It was worth the wait.”

“Good, I’m glad. But now we have to go to yoga. It’s Wednesday, and people still want their health updates. I promised we’d have an update and live feed today.”

He groans, making me giggle as I sit up, but Ryan grabs my hand, stopping me from getting out of bed. “Just five more minutes… in bed… together?”

“Sure, but only five, or we’ll be late,” I say, lying back down and cuddling into his side.

He wraps his arm around me, placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

Time passes quickly, and before we know it, we need to rise and get ready.

Technically, we should all be at the office today, but Oliver gave us the day off. He’s been a little more lenient with us since Ryan’s attack, which is good. It’s given us more time together.

We’re in the kitchen sharing a piece of toast before we have to head out for yoga. Ryan’s leaning against the kitchen counter, and I’m leaning back against him with his arms wrapped around my waist.

I could get used to this.

It feels right.

And as we each take a bite of a triangle of toast and laugh at this morning’s gossip column, I can say I’m happy.

Lunar walks in, stops, looks at us, raises her eyebrow, and smirks. “Well, don’t you two look fucking cozy?”

Ryan shakes his head. “Shut up, you love it.”

“What I don’t love is the… oh God, Ryan, oh yes, yes, you big man, ram it in me harder, harder, yes yes, yesss,” she says, over-accentuating every word.

Opening my eyes wide as well as my mouth, she grins wide while Ryan laughs. “Uh, I don’t sound like that… do I?” I ask in almost a whisper, turning my head quickly to look at Ryan as Lunar giggles.

“No, you don’t. Lunar, don’t be a cow,” Ryan chides.

“Well, okay, maybe you don’t sound like that, but can you start? It would be far more entertaining, and it would make me laugh instead of turning me on when Idohear you two going at it.”

Ryan rolls his eyes as I stand there saying nothing.

She steps up, taking a bite of the piece of toast in Ryan’s hand. “Just sayin’ if you guys ever feel like adding in another couple to the equation, I’m sure Danger and I would be down forthatparty—”

“Okay, time to go,” Ryan says, chucking the piece of toast onto the plate on the counter and directing me toward the door. I purse my lips, wondering if Lunar’s joking in her usual way, but I figure knowing her and Danger’s sexual antics, she probably isn’t.

“Think about it?” Lunar calls out with a hint of a laugh in her voice as Ryan walks me to the door.

“Have a good day, Lunar,” Ryan replies with a slight chuckle in his voice as he pushes me toward the door before opening it. I quickly grab my bag from the hook on the way past and giggle on the way outside.

He closes the door, shaking his head. “Fucking woman.”

I giggle and walk toward my car. “Was she joking?” I ask.

Ryan looks at me, raising an eyebrow. “I don’t even know, probably not. But I’m not very good at sharing,” he says as we reach the car.

“Well, good, not sure how I feel about orgies and all, especially after promising Roxie I wouldn’t partake in suchrock starbehavior.”

“Tillie, if you’re my girl. You’re my girl. No one else’s. Period.”
