“What time is it?” I grumbled, my voice scratchy and my lips brushing against Haven’s forehead.
She somehow moved her body even closer to mine, seeking either my warmth or comfort or my scent, or maybe all three, so I curled myself even more around her, tucking the sleeping bag up higher so she wouldn’t get cold.
“I don’t know,” she replied, her voice raspy too. “My phone died.”
“Hmm,” I grunted, then peeked out of one eye to look for the bag of our stuff. “We’ll charge it on our way home,” I added as I reached for the bag and pulled it closer to us, then rummaged around in it for my watch.
“Sugar Plum, it’s not even 5:00 a.m.,” I groaned, tossing my watch back into the bag and snuggling back down into the pillow with my arms back around her and my eyes closed. “Go back to sleep.”
“I was trying to,” she mumbled, pressing her cheek into my chest.
“By tickling my bicep?” I asked, my lips twitching into a half smile.
She chuckled, and then her lips kissed my bicep where her fingers had been tracing when I woke up.
“I was looking at your tattoo,” she whispered as she settled back into my chest.
“Mmm,” I hummed, my hands rubbing her back. “The one of the lake?”
I felt her head nodding, and I smiled fully.
“It’s beautiful,” she muttered, her voice getting softer. “The trees, the water… it looks just like it did the night we first saw each other.”
I pictured the tattoo in my mind as she spoke, the one I had gotten on my eighteenth birthday, seeing the trees around the lake and the moon on the water, and I realized she was right.
“It does, doesn’t it?” I replied, but her breathing was back to that deep, easy rhythm from the night before, and I knew she had drifted back to sleep.
My hands kept rubbing up and down her back, going lower with each pass, until I reached her tight little ass and realized her lower half was still naked from my bedtime snack the night before.
I groaned and moved my hands back to the middle of her back and left them there. My morning wood was already making itself known, and I didn’t need to add fuel to the fire by crossing that line.
The feel of her body in my arms, the contentment filling me at knowing she was with me and safe and warm, and the way her scent wrapped around me and mixed with mine lulled me back to sleep.
When I woke up again, the sun shone brightly, warming the space inside the tent. I was on my back, with Haven sprawled across my chest, her small body all the way on top of mine.
I lifted my head to look down at her and smiled at how beautiful and peaceful she looked. I knew I would enjoy seeing this sight every morning if she agreed to be mine.
I laid my head back down and slung one arm behind my head, my thoughts drifting to the night before, to the heated moment between us when I almost lost the grip on my restraint.
I had to tell her. I had to let her know the truth. Before we continued, and took that next step to be together fully, I had to show her what I was.
I was in love with her, and I knew she felt strongly for me, that she maybe even loved me back, and I couldn’t let her love for me be built on lies.
“What are you thinking so hard about, Pal?” Haven said, interrupting my thoughts with her scratchy morning voice.
Her hand reached up and massaged the crease between my eyebrows, and I laughed.
“Just thinking about some things I need to do this week,” I told her noncommittally, a plan already forming in my mind for how to tell her what I was.
Her eyes widened, and she pushed herself up to a sitting position, putting her naked pussy right on my stomach.
“Oh shit, it’s Monday!” she exclaimed, jumping up and walking around the tent looking for her clothes, not even realizing what she was doing to me by being half-naked like that with no thought about it. “Don’t you have work? Will you be in trouble?”
“I called my dad on our way here while you were asleep,” I grumbled, my eyes following her bare ass around the tent.
The shirt fell to her thighs, but from the angle I was at with her standing and me propped on an elbow, I had an almost unobstructed view of her lower half. She bent to pick up her underwear, and the glimpse of her pussy lips between her legs had my dick rock hard again in an instant.
“Haven!” I snapped, falling back on the pillow and covering my eyes with my hands.
“What?” she asked, and I uncovered my eyes just enough to glimpse her standing up straight and staring at me in confusion.
“Are you intentionally trying to kill me?” I groaned.
She glanced down at herself, and then her cheeks turned bright red as she realized she was giving me a little show. Like I didn’t have my head between her legs the night before, or my mouth and my tongue on her pussy.
She hunched over so the shirt covered her knees, and she slipped her underwear on as fast as lightning. Then she walked over to the bag by me, bending down to rummage through it for her clothes.
I rolled onto my side and grabbed her around the waist, pulling her back onto the camping pad with me and pulling the sleeping bag back up over our bodies.
“What are you doing?” I rumbled out, holding her so she couldn’t escape.
Not that she tried. She just wrapped her arms around my neck and snuggled into me.
“I was going to get dressed,” she replied. “So we can get ready to go home,” she added.
“There’s no rush,” I told her. “Just relax and enjoy your hard-earned little mini vacation.”
“You say there’s no rush, but you haven’t even checked the time since we woke up the first time.” She giggled.
I sighed. “That is true,” I agreed, rolling a bit so I could grab my watch. “Oh, wow,” I laughed. “It’s 09:00 a.m.,” I told her, tossing the watch back in my bag.
“Oops,” she said, grimacing a little. “Sorry, I know you’re usually an early riser, and—“
