Thanks to iBooks, I got The Healing Power of Sugar last night! Of course I couldn't  fall asleep without finishing it so I stayed up till 2am. Loved it!  Hope that this chapter pleases all the CL Stone fans as well.



The radio from Chase's alarm came on waking me up. I was nestled in close to Chase, my skin being warmed by his. He groaned and reached out an arm to smack the snooze button. He buried his nose into my hair and sighed. I rubbed his chest with my hand that was resting on it. He rubbed my back and it drifted lower until his hand was on my butt.

"You have the softest backside. I like touching it." he said to me.

"What if it were like sandpaper? Would you like touching it then?" I teased him.

"We would have to slather your backside in lotion until it was soft then."

"Any excuse to touch it then huh?"

"Pretty much."

"Chase?"

"Yes?"

"How much longer until the alarm goes off again?"

"Why? Did you need more sleep? I know my alarm goes off earlier than you are used to."

"No, I don't need more sleep but I was wondering if there was enough time for some... morning exercises...?

In a flash he had opened his nightstand drawer and pulled out a condom and the lube. He put those on the pillow next to my head and rolled over on top of me. "I can always make time for morning exercises." We had some very quick and limited foreplay before we wound up with me on top. It was a position that I was getting used to now though I still preferred the guy on top of me. There was something so deliciously erotic about it for me. Chase quickly brought me to an orgasm and came at the same time.

"I could get used to waking up to this." I said with a satisfied smile on my face as I stood up and stretched. Chase grinned at me and said, "You're not the only one!" We cleaned up, I gave him a kiss since I wouldn't see him again until tonight and I slipped my nightie back on and headed for my room. I went to the laundry room and pulled out my dried load and put in the washed load. I took it back to my room and set it on top of one of the dressers so that I could put the clothes away later. I took a nice bath and used the pineapple set again. I put on a pair of brown skinny jeans with a white tank top and threw on a nearly sheer sweater that was a light tan with pink and white polka dots on it. I got Lexine up and dressed for school, then headed downstairs with her.

I slipped into my usual morning routine of cooking breakfast for the people that were home. Today it was Wyatt, Jake and Preston. We ate and Preston took Lexine with him to drop her off at school before he went to his office. I gave them both a goodbye kiss at the door and went back to the kitchen where Wyatt and Jake were cleaning up the kitchen. I told them that I would be upstairs folding laundry.

"That's fine darling, we have some work to catch up on so we will be in our offices downstairs if you need us." Wyatt said to me with a smile and a kiss on the cheek. Jake smacked my butt as I walked by him and I laughed. Upstairs I turned on some Netflix and watched a Christmas movie as I folded and hung items up. Some things were horrible wrinkled and I considered sticking them back in the dryer to get the wrinkles out. I set those things aside and went to check on the load I had drying earlier. They weren't done yet so I started poking around the laundry room to see if there was a iron.

The laundry room about the size of a small bedroom with cabinets and granite counter tops with a big sink. I found that they had many cleaning supplies with even a vacuum cleaner. I also discovered the iron along with an ironing board. My best discovery was a clothing steamer. Perfect! Now I could just steam the wrinkles out and hang up our clothes. I brought it back to my room and turned it on to warm up. While it did that I took my hand wash items to the laundry room to soak in the sink.

I actually had a good time watching the movie and steaming the clothes. I did the next load too and hung them up. Feeling energetic and on a productive spree, I took the steamer back to the laundry room and grabbed the cleaning supplies. Finding disposable rubber gloves, I took a pair of those too and attacked the bathroom. Taking off my sweater, I cleaned the bathtub and shower scrubbing any dirt away. I also cleaned the toilet and sink. The bathroom was sparkling clean when I was done. I felt good that was cleaned up.

In the linen closet I found fresh sheets and pillow cases for the bed and changed them out. Marching to the laundry room again I put the cleaning supplies away and the dirty sheets in the washing machine. Rinsing out my things that were soaking in the sink, I took them back to my bathroom so that I could suspend them from hangers in my shower to drip dry. The only thing left to do was to vacuum the floor.

I started out vacuuming just my room but then I continued it down the hallway. I even switched out plugs to vacuum both hallways. I hummed to myself as I pushed the machine back and forth. As I turned direction to go back the other way, I jumped when I realized that Jake was standing there. Reaching out with my foot, I used my toes to push the power button.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was trying to get your attention but you couldn't hear me over the vacuum cleaner."

"No problem. I just didn't see you there. I was lost in my own world." I said grinning at him. "Did you need anything?"

"Just checking on you. It's been a couple of hours and I heard the vacuum going."

"I've been on a cleaning kick. I finished most of the laundry and cleaned my bathroom and starting vacuuming. Once I was out in the hallway, it just seemed to make sense the vacuum both instead of one."

Jake reached out and brushed a curly tendril away from my face. "Don't kill yourself cleaning. I'm done with my work for now and wanted to see if you wanted to hang out with me. Wyatt's still working."

"Sure! Let me put this away and I'll get my sweater back on."

"Here, I'll put the vacuum away and you go put your sweater on. Maybe, you can even put enough lipstick on for me to kiss off. I've decided that I'm taking you on a date." he teased me with a wink.

I laughed and went to get my sweater and check my reflection. As usual I had to tame my hair somewhat and then to continue Jake's joke, I put on some pink lipstick. It was a new one for me that termed it as lip butter. It came in a tube like a lip gloss with an applicator. I liked it and went out to the hallway to meet up with Jake after grabbing my purse and jacket and putting some boots on.

His eyes lit up when he saw my lipstick. "Ready for our date my sweet fiancé?"

"Yes, I'm ready but where are we going?"

"I am going to do something spectacular! Something that you would have never dreamed that I would do with you!" he said dramatically as we walked downstairs.

"What is it?" I asked excitedly.

"I am taking you to the movies!"

I started laughing, "Do you never go to the movie theater Jake?"

"Hardly because I can't stand how overpriced the snack counter is, but that isn't the surprise. I'm going to do something that I have never ever done before."

"Will you please stop teasing me and just tell me?"

"I am going to let you pick the movie. And order whatever you want from the snack counter. Even if it's a chick flick, I promise not to complain and just be absolutely sweet to you. I have never ever done this for anyone else before, I swear." he held up his hand like he was taking an oath.

"Jake! You are so silly!" I said laughing even harder now. "And I love you so much." We shared a sweet kiss. "Are we going now?" I asked him.

"Yes."

"Well, can we say goodbye to Wyatt first?"

"Sure babycakes, let's go say goodbye to him."

We walked on back to the offices and stepped into Wyatt's. He had the door open and was typing away furiously at his keyboard. He looked up as we entered. "Where are you off to darling?" Wyatt asked me with a smile. "I'm going on a movie date with Jake. He's agreed to take me to a chick flick without complaining." I told him with a grin.

"Is that so?" Wyatt asked with an amused look.

"Yup, I'm totally whipped!" Jake said.

Wyatt's grin grew wider, "Can I take a picture of the happy couple?"

Jake shrugged and said, "Why not?" and slung his arm around my shoulders. We smiled at the camera and I glanced up at Jake after the picture was taken. It was then that I noticed that some of my lipstick must have transferred off to Jake's mouth when he kissed me! Wyatt was busy texting the picture to the rest of the family. Poor Jake was going to get teased mercilessly by them.

"You are evil!" I hissed to Wyatt as I snatched a tissue from the box on his desk. I couldn't help but smile at him though. I reached up to Jake's mouth and he jerked his head back for a second. "What are you doing?" he asked me.

"Trust me Jake, you want me to wipe this off of you. I can't have you go out on our date wearing the same shade as me. Only one of us is allowed to look good wearing it and it's gonna be me." I said with a smile. That made them both laugh as I carefully wiped off Jake's lips.

I gave Wyatt a kiss on the mouth and handed him the Kleenex before grabbing Jake's hand and leaving with him. At his car, he opened the door for me and I swear that I would never get tired of that. They knew that I was capable of doing that for myself, it was just good manners and the fact that they cared so much for me.

"Which theater are we going to?" I asked Jake.

"Oh, there is one in downtown Charleston that I usually go to."

"Is that the one with recliner? Those seats cost more but I've heard that it's worth it."

"Really? Movie theaters have recliners now? I didn't know!" he exclaimed, "Pull out your phone and look it up and see if it's the same place."

I pulled out my phone and looked it up. "It must be the same place! It's in downtown Charleston."

"Great! I'm going to get us tickets for those seats."

About fifteen minutes later we pulled into a parking garage and I couldn't help but remember the PI with the camera that was so interested in what I was doing. Furtively I glanced around as I got out of the car. "Don't worry about that idiot Murdoch," Jake told me quietly. "You aren't doing anything wrong." He stuck his elbow out to me and I slipped my hand into the crook of his arm. We walked the half block to the theater and stood in line for tickets.

"So what are you going to make me watch today?" He asked me. "That animated one?"  I stared at the board which told me what movie was playing at what time. "Um, no. I think that Lexine wants to see that so I'll wait until she can come too." I stared at the board having a hard time choosing between the latest in a teen franchise or a holiday comedy. I chose to go with the holiday comedy and pointed to it. "I want to watch that one!"


There was no denying it, Jake had a look of relief on his face. "If that's what you want, that's what you will get sweetheart." I grinned at him, "Confess! You thought that I would make you watch something girly didn't you."

He nodded his head. "Yeah I did but I wasn't going to complain remember?"

I tiptoed up and he tilted his head down. "True and I'm going to reward you for that later." I whispered in his ear. The grin on his face was blinding. "I'm going to hold you to that." he whispered back. When we got to the front of the line, Jake ordered our tickets after making sure that we got the recliner seats. Inside the lobby, I visited the ladies room first so that I wouldn't have to miss any of the movie. Jake asked me if I wanted a hot dog and  popcorn as we joined the line for food. I chose the nachos instead and he ordered that for me along with a drink and popcorn. We carried the food with us to our screening room.

"Up towards the top or a little further down?" he asked me.

"Let's go towards the top." I suggested. Jake led the way and we sat at the top row in the middle since we were early enough that we could have our choice of seating. The seats were joined in two's with little tables and cup holders in the arm rests.  "Now this is the way to watch movies!" Jake enthused as we set our food down. I had to agree with him. We sat down and got comfortable taking our jackets off. I munched on my nachos as we watched the trivia and advertisements that played across the screen. Jake ate his hot dog and we answered the trivia questions that came up. More people came in and sat in the chairs. Soon the lights dimmed and the previews started playing. In an unspoken agreement, we released our footrests and reclined back to watch the movie. Holding hands we settled in and relaxed.
