The sound of the toilet flushing woke me. The memory of Adam staying overnight popped into my head. A cosy warmth gushed through me. I grinned, stretched and then glanced at the clock - six thirty. I closed my eyes and stretched some more. Adam's warm hand touched my stomach. I jerked in surprise.

"I'm glad you wake up happy," he said.

I smiled at him and noticed he had wet hair and a towel wrapped around his hips. "Have you been using my shampoo again?"

Adam laughed. "That's why I came over last night. I'm using you for your shampoo."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "I thought as much."

Adam leaned towards me. I guessed he wanted to kiss me so I turned my face away. "No, I have morning breath. Yuck!"

He leant forward again. "Can I be the judge of that?"

I squeezed my lips together and shook my head making negative sounds.

Adam laughed. "Okay." He lay on his back with his hands behind his head.

I darted into the bathroom, peed, washed my face, scrubbed my teeth then went into the kitchenette, and flipped on the kettle. "What would you like for breakfast?"

He sat on the edge of the bed and looked over at me. Adam raised his eyebrows and rubbed his hand over his mouth, trying to hide his grin. "You like teasing me, don't you?"

I forced a serious face. "How am I teasing you?"

"You know I want you to come back to bed. If you don't, I'll think you don't like me."

"You're not going to become a sulky boy, are you?" I laughed.

Adam got off the bed. "Have it your way." He searched the floor for his clothes.

Panic rushed through me, had I taken the joke too far? The new me, who wasn't going to be dictated to by men, made me remain silent and fixed where I was. He stood with his clothes in his hands, and our eyes met. Not wanting to crumble, I focused on plugging in the toaster. His arm slid around my waist.

I grinned as he whispered, "You're being a bitch." Before I could respond he lifted me, carried me to the bed and dropped me in the middle of it. "I want you for breakfast."

"Why didn't you say so?" I smiled at him then added, "I thought we weren't having sex this time."

"That was last night. This is a different day." He dropped his towel to reveal his erection and then got on the bed. Adam touched my thigh and slipped his finger under the elastic of my knickers. He put his lips on mine, while his fingers roamed along the line of elastic towards my backside and touched the back of my thighs. My body raced. His fingers moved along the elastic to my inner thigh. Adam nudged my legs open and touched me. I gasped at the sensation.

"Jasmine..." he murmured and nuzzled my neck.

Someone pounded on the door. I stiffened. Adam didn't notice. I jerked away. He gripped my butt as the knock sounded again.

"Adam, you have to stop. There's someone at the door."

He sighed against my mouth. "Ignore it."

The knock got louder. A man's voice called, "Jasmine!"

Adam groaned, rolled away from me and laid his forearm across his eyes and hissed, "Fuck...!"

"I'm sorry. It's Percy. He lives downstairs."

"It's not your fault," he said stroking my face.

The knock became more urgent. "Jasmine!"

"You better answer it before the prick bashes the door in," Adam said as he swung his legs over the bed and picked up his clothes. "I'll wait in the bathroom."

The knock sounded again.

I called, "Hang on!" then slipped my arms into my dressing gown, tied the sash and opened the door. Percy stood in his taxi driver uniform.

"Oh, Jasmine. I am very sorry to disturb you at such an early hour. My car has a flat battery. I see you have a friend with a car. I need a start so I can get to my job on time. Will your very nice friend help Percy?"

I smiled to show I wasn't upset. "He's in the bathroom. I'll go and ask."

Percy nodded as I half closed the door.

Adam was dressed and sitting on the toilet with the lid down. Before I could speak, he said, "I heard."

I stepped closer and whispered, "I'm sorry."

He grinned and made me straddle his lap. "He saved you." Adam laughed and gripped my butt. "I wanted to be with you so bad this morning," he said then put me on my feet and walked to the door.  "Hello. I'm Adam," he said.

They turned over the engines as I ate a piece of toast and drank my cup of tea. It seemed to take forever. By the time Adam returned I had gotten ready for work, made the bed and washed my plate and cup.

He pouted at me and went into the bathroom to wash his hands. I followed and asked if he wanted something to eat.

"No, I have to go. I'll get something on my way to work." He dried his hands, wrapped his arms around me and picked me up. "Your neighbour is a pain. If he does that again I will kill him."

I laughed and put my arms around his neck. "I'm sorry."

"I've said it's not your fault." He gave me a quick kiss. "I have to go," he whispered and sucked on my earlobe as he put me on my feet and stroked my face. "I'll see you soon."

I touched his arm. "I enjoyed our time together last night.  Not having sex and talking.  Thank you."

Adam smiled. "We'll make up for it next time," he said, then kissed me and left.

Jasmine is very happy at the moment.  I hope things keep improving. ♥

I wonder if Adam really meant he'd kill Percy if he interrupted them again?
