I wake up to the light streaming in through the space between the curtains. My body is relaxed and well-rested and I try to turn around but feel a heavy arm over my waist and a warm body against my back.

Blushing to myself, I remember the events that took place last night. Maddox was perfect, taking care of me at my own pace and not pressuring me to go any farther. I'm not sure that I'm ready to go all the way yet. I press my legs together to relieve the pressure I feel even thinking about it and Maddox stirs.

I feel his erection pressed against my back and gasp. Attempting to wiggle away from him, he just groans and pulls me back to him. Rolling me onto his stomach, his brief-covered length now presses directly onto my core. I moan and his eyes open slowly, a lazy smile gracing his face as he looks down between us. I follow his gaze and notice my lack of clothing, burying my face into his chest and hiding from his stare. His tattooed chest vibrates under my cheek with laughter.

"Mmmm, I thought I was just having a really good dream but then I opened my eyes and you didn't disappear." He winks, sitting us both up with me in his lap. He teasingly presses his hips up further and I whimper, looking into his eyes. "Awe Princess. Are you turned on and can't do anything about it?" He mocks and I nod once hesitantly. "Too bad." He kisses the tip of my nose. "Now you know how I've felt since I first saw your cute ass." He says with a smirk and puts me down on the bed beside him, walking out of the room and leaving me frustrated.

I pout and get changed, walking out of Maddox's room and into the kitchen. Faye notices from her spot on the couch, hitting Kiki on the shoulder and pointing to me. I glare back at them and they giggle as I take a seat beside them. They watch me curiously and it feels disconcerting so I turn to them. "What?"

"How do you feel?" Kiki asks cheekily.

"Peckish. Why?" Faye pouts and looks at me.

"You didn't sleep with him?" Faye asks bluntly.

"I did, but it's not a big deal." I blush. They both squeal as quietly as they can so as to not alert the attention of the others who are slowly waking up as well. Maddox's naked back greets my eyes as he mixes something in a bowl. I stare at his bum for a minute until Kiki slaps my arm.

"So how was it?" Kiki asks excitedly.

"It was nice, not that different from sleeping alone. Warmer, I guess? Why is this interesting to you?" I ask and their excited expressions drop. "Oh my gosh, you thought I shagged him?" I squeak, a little too loudly, and Maddox's tattooed back jerks with concealed laughter but he doesn't acknowledge us. They both nod and I just shake my head with a blush.

I continue watching him, and the girls do the same, making me feel slightly jealous but I shake myself out of it when I realize two things. One, they're my friends and they wouldn't try anything with him. Two, they can look but I can touch. Smiling smugly to myself, Maddox turns to look at me and he looks interested in my expression, winking before turning back around. "Good morning friends! Are those pancakes I smell?" Luke bounds down the stairs yelling, causing everyone else to groan as it is much too early to be yelling. You would think we were hungover.

"Yes, but you won't get any unless you shut your mouth." Maddox snaps and my eyes widen. Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I guess he does that often because nobody even flinches or pauses their conversations.

By the time Maddox has multiple plates stacked with slightly burnt, lumpy pancakes, everybody has woken up and gathered around. I grab forks and knives and set the table as Chase grabs the syrup and butter from the fridge. Lexi and I immediately lunge for the chocolate chip pancakes and we smile at each other before loading up our plates.

Nobody complained about the state of the pancakes and I've completely stuffed myself as is apparent by my bloated stomach, but I help clear the plates and everything else once we all finish eating. Figuring out the plan for the day isn't easy, but we eventually agree to go out on a boat and try tubing, waterskiing, or wakeboarding. They all sound like things that I would be really bad at, but Maddox says that I need to wear a lifejacket for all of them so he thinks I'll be fine.

Everyone goes back to their rooms to change and I do the same. When I enter the room, my belongings are gone and I have a feeling that I know where they went. I walk downstairs and open Maddox's bedroom door, but don't see him anywhere. I spot my bag on the bed and roll my eyes, picking out another bathing suit.

I twist the knob to the ensuite bathroom and open the door, greeted by the sight of Maddox's dripping wet back and nothing covering him. My eyes are immediately drawn to his taut bum and he wraps a towel around himself unhurriedly, turning around to see me with a slightly surprised expression. "Didn't hear you come in." He says. Obviously he didn't see me through the steamy mirror either.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just going to change. I'll... wait. Outside." I stutter and turn around but he catches my arm, placing a soft kiss to my cheek.

"Don't worry about it, I'm finished. Although, I could stay to assist you." He offers and I snort with laughter, covering my mouth with my hands. He just looks amused as he walks past me and out the door, not before slapping my bum and drawing a squeal out of me. My hand flies to my sore cheek and I glare mockingly.
