Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 76

I try to roll over to get out of bed so I can get a shower, but Bronx tugs me back down and pulls me until my back is close against his chest, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I need to get cleaned up, Sweetheart. I'll be back after my shower," I giggle and scrunch up my shoulders as he nibbles at the spot on my neck below my ear.

"Nope," he growls playfully from somewhere in my hair. I feel him take a deep breath, "I like when you smell like me."

"I like when I smell like you too, but I don't enjoy laying in bed feeling sweaty and sticky. Give me ten minutes," I turn in his arms to face him.

"Five," he kisses my forehead and drapes his leg over me, trapping me against him.

"Eight," I negotiate for more time.

"You drive a hard bargain, Kas Mason,” he grumbles, burying his nose back in my hair.

"My husband says I'm a damn good businesswoman,” I smile into his chest and give a gentle nip on his marking spot that isn't completely healed. I feel him shiver happily at the sensation.

"That guy is one lucky son of a bitch," Bronx chuckles in his gruff voice. He rolls me on top of him and nuzzles my cheek, "Seven minutes or I'm coming in after you.”

"I'm not sure if that's a threat or a promise," I giggle, giving him little kisses on his mouth. The idea of straddling him again is tempting, but I really need to get my shower and go to sleep. I look at the clock. It's after midnight and I have training with Marco and James at five a.m..

Bronx and I have been messing around ever since we got back from letting Lex and Saint spend time together.
