Roman stretched and yawned. When his arm came down, he didn't feel the cold of the sheets, but a warmth. He lifted his head and noticed Lynn was sleeping on his chest. He exhaled when he noticed they still had their clothes on.
The last thing he wanted was to disrespect her or her brother by sleeping with her on the first night. She shifted and blinked before yawning, then she shot up and looked down at him.
"Oh my god. We fell asleep", she said.
He just nodded.
"I'm sorry if I crossed some line, I would never want to disrespect you", he said, sitting up.
"You didn't. We fell asleep", she chuckled.
He blushed.
"You are acting like we had sex", she continued.
He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Sorry, it's the royal in me", he replied.
She nodded. She liked that about him.
"Did you finish reading it?", she asked, pointing at her laptop.
"No. Sorry, but what I did read, I liked.", he said.
"Honestly?", she asked.
He met her eyes.
"I do second what your publishers suggested, fixing here and there. If you want, you can print me out a copy and I can write my notes on the side", he said.
"Really?", she asked.
He nodded.
"Why would you do that for me?", she asked.
He shrugged.
"You just looked stressed out and unsure", he said.
She smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll have a copy ready for you by the time you come back from training", she said.
"I look forward to it", he replied, standing and walking out.
He came back and blushed harder.
"This is my room", he said.
She laughed and nodded.
"Yup", she said, standing and walking out.
Seth was on his laptop with Aleister. As much as he tried, he just didn't feel the same for Aleister as he felt for him. The sex was good, he enjoyed that very much, but anything beyond that was hard for Seth to give.
He moaned as he moved his hand faster.
"Faster Al", Seth panted.
Aleister had a vibrator moving in and out of him.
"Oh Seth", he moaned.
Seth reached over and grabbed a towel covering his bottom half as he released into it. He watched as Aleister cleaned himself up as well.
"Its so not the same", Aleister panted.
"I know. Maybe you can come down this weekend. I can rent a hotel room and no, you will not be leaving that bed till your ass is sore", Seth smirked.
Aleister blushed.
"Babe, I've been meaning to talk to you. You know about us", Aleister said.
Seth sighed and rubbed his face. He had been seeing Aleister for a few years now and it was always the same. He wanted more.
"Can we talk later? I have to get to training.", Seth said quickly.
Aleister looked disappointed, but nodded. Seth shut down his computer and laid back.
"Fuck", he growled.
Someone knocked on his bedroom door.
"Come in", he called.
His door opened and Liam walked in. He cleared his throat.
"The vans leave to the training grounds in thirty minutes", he said.
Seth nodded. Liam couldn't help but admire this man in front of him. A towel covering what he is forbidden to want. Sweat covering his abs that Liam so badly wants to press his lips against. Seth noticed the look in his eyes, he could feel himself hardening again.
"Is there something else I can help you with? Anything at all?", Seth asked.
God, he hoped he said yes. Seth would help him over and over again. Liam shook his head before leaving.
"To have that pretty face between my legs, damn", Seth mumbled.
Dean was the last in the van with a granola bar in hand.
"Woke up late?", Roman asked.
"No, I was trying to get a hold of Billie. She must have worked late or something", Dean mumbled the end.
Roman nodded. Dean had a feeling he knew what was going on, but if he said it out loud, it would be too real.
"You okay?", Seth asked, nudging him.
Dean nodded.
"You? Aleister get your blood pumping this morning?", Dean asked with a smirk.
Seth chuckled.
"If you already know, why did you ask", Seth said.
Dean shrugged.
"Because you are the only one out of us that's getting laid", Dean said.
The guys chuckled and agreed. Seth shook his head. He looked forward and caught Liam's eyes in the rearview mirror.
"What about you Rome? Any news on the whole Sasha, arranged marriage business?", Dean asked, breaking Seth's eye contact with Liam.
"Don't remind me", Roman sighed.
"Are they really going to make you marry her?", Seth asked.
"If I can't find anyone on my own. My parents are giving me the chance to find someone", Roman replied.
His friends nodded. They hoped he would find someone to love him the way he deserved and not just because he was going to be King.
"By the way, how's your brother? I didn't see him when we left", Dean asked.
"Good. He couldn't make it, stuck in the hospital. I'm sure he'll be there to greet us as soon as we get home", Roman said.
Dean nodded. Over the last few years, his brother had gotten sick. His brother had stepped away from being the next King, making Roman next in line.
Lynn finished printing out the copy of her book, setting it on Roman's bed. She smiled to herself, thinking about last night and this morning. He smelled so good, and he was so polite to her.
Her smile slipped, shaking her head of those thoughts.
"He's going to be King, not even worth the try.", she mumbled.
Walking out of his room, Leslie smiled. She had just come home from her jog.
"Hey, so did you get a good look at them? I got home late and they were gone before I got up this morning", her sister said.
Lynn nodded.
"All cute, although I think one of them is gay", Lynn replied.
"Hey, I love dancing at gay bars. Now I have someone to go with", Leslie smiled.
Lynn laughed softly.
"I thought you were staying over with Mike?", she asked as they walked into the kitchen.
Leslie set her phone down.
"He's working extra hours so, no can do.", Leslie shrugged.
Lynn nodded.
"Want a salad? Was going to make one before trying to fix my book", Lynn said.
"No thanks, I'm going to shower and then see if Baron wants to hang out", Leslie replied.
Lynn thought that was a good idea. Maybe getting out and away from the computer might help her focus and clear her head of that damn writer's block. Grabbing her phone, she texted Corey if he and Carmella wanted to go to lunch.
"Heck yeah, let's go. Be by yours in an hour", he had replied.
After lunch, they had gone shopping.
"You don't have to change the whole book Lynn, just correct a few things and add in a chapter or two", Carmella said, holding Corey's arm.
"I tried, but then it turns into changing the next chapter completely and then the following. I should just throw out the whole book and start fresh", Lynn said.
"They'll just want you to change whatever they find wrong in that new one too.", Corey said.
Lynn's shoulders slumped.
"You're suppose to be helping me", she pouted.
Corey chuckled.
"Well I would say go from experience, but your relationship with Tommaso was a bit vanilla", Corey shrugged.
"Vanilla?", she asked.
"I said what I said", he replied.
Carmella giggled and shook her head at him.
"Vanilla is plain and boring to Corey.", Carmella said.
"I will have you know, that my relationship with Tommaso was not, vanilla. It was…", she stopped.
Corey chuckled.
"Yeah, like I said, vanilla.", he replied.
"Fine, okay, I will give you that. He was a good kisser though", Lynn said.
Corey chuckled.
"But did he rock that headboard, is the real question", Corey said.
Carmella slapped his shoulder and he shrugged. Lynn blushed.
"Lynn, wait, are you…", Corey smirked.
"We never got that far", she mumbled.
"Oh man, no wonder you can't fix your book. Your cherry is still very red and unclaimed", he said.
Carmella slapped the back of his head and he glared at her. Lynn chuckled.
"Thank you Mella", she said.
Carmella smiled and took her arm as they walked.
"I hate to say it, but maybe he is right. Maybe you can't write about falling in love because you haven't yet. I mean, it's easy to know what you want, but feeling it is different", Carmella said.
Lynn nodded.
"I shouldn't have to have sex in order to know what it feels like", Lynn said.
"I didn't mean pop your cherry, I just meant, trying to find someone to fall in love with", she said.
Lynn nodded.
"Well…", she started.
Carmella smiled.
"There is someone, but, he's way out of my league and totally unavailable", Lynn said.
"Do I know him?", she asked.
"Not really", Lynn replied.
"So, why isn't he available?", Carmella asked.
Lynn faced her friend.
"He's future King of Ruby region", she said, biting her lip.
Carmella's jaw dropped open.
"I know okay, but, I've only spoken to him for a few hours and he's just so different", Lynn said.
"Yeah, because he's going to take the throne", Carmella said.
Lynn nodded. Carmella smiled.
"Doesn't mean you can't use him as a muse. Be your female character in the book and write this feeling now. Write what you feel when he's in the room", Carmella said.
Lynn nodded. She hadn't thought about that. Maybe because with Tommaso, those feelings weren't as strong.
"Yeah, I'll do that", she smiled.
"You can always thank him in your book", Carmella winked.
