MiraBeth woke up gasping for air. Pulling long black hair away from her face and mouth, she tried to breathe slow and shallow. Once the panic had passed she reached back, moving his hair back behind his head. It's okay, it was just Roman's hair covering me. Somehow I nearly swallowed some of it. Nothing to freak out over. Roman snuggled closer and tucked his nose against her neck, pulling her back tight to his chest. "Roman…" she whispered. He grunted. "Roman, I need to get up." He grunted again and nuzzled her neck again. "Roman, I need to pee. You have to let me up." She pushed at his arm as she tried to wiggle away. He pulled her tighter. "I…need…to…pee." She grabbed his wrist and shoved him out of the way before dashing to the bathroom. No sooner had she flushed than Roman was crossing the threshold and heading for the porcelain bowl.

MiraBeth washed her hands and reached for the mouthwash. Roman folded his hand over hers and lifted the bottle to his mouth. Once they both had fresh breath, he kissed her. "Good morning."

"Good morning." she whispered back.

"Sorry I delayed your morning trip." he said, leaning against the counter.

She shrugged. "It was nice that you held on to me so tightly in your sleep. Made me feel really wanted…desired."

Roman's eyes lit up. "Desired? You doubt feeling desired?"

"I didn't mean…That's not what I…" she stuttered.

Roman reached across the short space that separated them, grabbing her hip and pulling her flush against his body. "Does it feel like you are wanted, baby?" his deep morning minty growl ghosted over her face as he lifted her to sit on the sink counter and closed the bathroom door. MiraBeth clutched at Roman's shoulders. He grabbed the hem of her shirt and tossed it on the floor. Capturing the tip of her breast between his teeth, Roman sucked hard as he lifted her again and yanked her sleep pants off. "Hold on, baby…" was the only warning MiraBeth got as he turned and pinned her against the door. His pants were down, MiraBeth didn't question when they had moved. All she knew was the wood was hard at her back, his hands held her hips, and he moved hard within her. Moving in sync with his motion, she threw her head back and bit her lip to keep from screaming as she came. Seconds later, Roman grunted his release. "Goooood Mornin'." he said with a smirk.

MiraBeth groaned in response as she unwrapped her legs from his waist. "Very nice." Getting a good look, she realized he had shoved his pants down around his ankles and was still wearing his shirt. Shaking her head she tapped his butt on her way to the shower, not at all surprised when he joined her.

"I know we haven't solved anything." he said softly while soaping her hair. "Just know that I am confident in my feelings, our feelings for each other. I know that we will be okay, no matter what. At least I pray we will."

MiraBeth turned and faced Roman, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I believe we will." Roman tilted her head up to receive his kiss. Patting his chest, she climbed out of the shower and dried off.

As soon as MiraBeth walked into the kitchen, Seth was there drinking a glass of juice. "Have the two of you made up?" he asked. She smiled at him. "Good. So, when are we leaving Boss?" MiraBeth's glare had Seth backing up. "Um, okay. I guess I overstepped there."

"Seth, what have you done?" Roman asked as he came around the corner.
