Enjoy!

It was in the early morning. Ruben returned to his bedroom where you slept. The soft morning light casted a warm glow over your skin, illuminating the sensual strokes of your naked body. Your hair, usually a wild tangle of curls, lay smooth and still against the pillow. Ruben's heart raced as he watched you sleep, his imagination running wild with thoughts of last night and the one before that. The two of you spent nearly all weekend in bed. You were his now and his alone. The most breathtaking woman Ruben had ever met.

"Ruben?" You stirred in your sleep.

"I'm here baby." He returned to lay beside you.

You smiled lazily, your eyes still heavy with sleep. "Good morning," you replied, voice husky with desire. "What time is it?"

"It's just after six," He said, leaning in to kiss you softly on the forehead.

"Why are you up so early?"

"I went for a run."

"Outside?"

"Of course." He chuckled.

"Is Max back?" Your eyes flung open, suddenly wide awake.

"No, he's not back yet. I went for a run alone."

"Oh, okay."

You nuzzled your head into the crook of Ruben's neck, an opportunity for him to inhale your scent.

"Ruben?"

"Yes baby?"

"Let's not tell Max about us, or your family for that matter. At least not until I've found a new job."

"I agree." He nodded.

"Good."

"Y/N?"

"Yes Ruben?"

"It's best if we don't tell Max that I've been out running by myself."

You raised your head from the crook of his neck, your eyebrows furrowed. "Why not?"

Ruben reached for your face, his thumb stroking your cheek. "He wants me to take things slow, that's all."

"Well shouldn't you?"

"I should." He nodded. "But I know myself and I know I'm up for a challenge now."

"Ruben." You sighed. But before you could protest further his lips were pressed against your, kissing you softly.

You smiled. "Are you trying to distract me?"

"Distract you? Never."

"No? Then why are you..."

He leaned in to kiss you again, this time pinning you down to lay beneath him. The kiss deepend into something rich and filthy, immediately setting the town. "I have plans for us today." Ruben said, trailing his lips along your jaw and down your throat.

"Oh yeah, what kind of plans?"

"I'm taking you on a date."

"A date?" You pushed up to rest on your elbows, looking down at Ruben who had trailed his kisses down your body, his face now set between your legs.

"Yes." He smiled. "A date. It's about time, don't you think?"

"And where is this so-called date taking place?" You reached for Ruben's head, your hand running through his damped hair.

"It's a secret."

"I see."

"Yeah. Just make sure to clean up nicely before we go out."

"Pardon?"

Ruben laughed, his chest vibrating against your legs. "Well, I'm planning on making a mess out of you." He kissed the inside of your thigh, sending a shiver down your spine. "Or perhaps I can clean you up myself?" He uncovered the sheets that hid you from him, biting down on his lip at the sight of you.

"Well?" You giggled

"Well what?" He growled.

"What are you waiting for, do your best work."
