Wake up before the alarm goes off.
Pull on my shorts and a tank.
Tug on my running shoes.
Grab two bottles of water out of the fridge.
“Mornin’, slowpoke,” I greet a sleepy-eyed Bridger, appearing in the hall in just his boxers.
He laughs when he sees me already jogging in place to get my heart rate up, ready to go. “Seems like someone’s already popped the batteries up their butt.”
It’s our joke now. Ever since I said it. I can never outrun the words I let fly outta my mouth in the past.
I come around the kitchen counter and right up to my love to place an energizing kiss on his lips.
It’s like a shot of espresso, how he lights right up. “Well, good morning to you, too,” he greets me with more energy, as if seeing me now for the first time.
I reach around and smack his ass. “Up and at ‘em, babe.” I jog to the door, then turn. “And if you keep up with me, maybe you’ll get some of this when we get back,” I tell him with a smack of my own ass.
His eyes drop down to my tight jogging shorts.
The growl that rumbles deep within him is all I need to hear.
Then I’m out the door to greet the sunrise, and not very much longer, Bridger’s right behind me.
The springtime air is crisp and downright breezy, making the perfect atmosphere for our bright and bushytailed asses to go jogging. We don’t go as early in the mornings as Bridger used to, since I’m not a damned vampire and like a little morning sun in my sky to guide me. As it turns out, he only went out before dawn to avoid people and to feel like he was all alone in the world, embracing the solitude and enjoying the valuable time for mental reflection and finding peace of mind. Now, he loves seeing people during his jogs. Like the Marvin brothers, who are opening their vegetable stands. Or the cheery-ass pair of employees at Patsy’s Pastries you can just “dive” straight into this series!) It follows Jonah and his best friend over the course of a wild weekend vacation to Dreamwood Isle. When Jonah meets the quirky (and sexy) local Kent who works the funnel cake shop on the boardwalk, a chain reaction of sparks, circumstance, and insatiable appetite sets off. This is an exciting start to a sweet beachside series I think you will LOVE! Beach vibes and hot guys, all the way. Books 2 and 3, “Crusher” and “Far From Paradise”, are also out!
