Chapter Five

Tuesday morning, Cali awoke when the men’s alarm went off.

Sean groaned. “Motherfucker. I hate mornings.”

Max slowly sat up, yawning. “Yeah.”

“Hey,” she said.

Max saw she was awake and leaned in to kiss her. “You don’t need to be up yet, sweetheart. We’ll wake you up and bring you your meds before we go.”

“You pick,” she said before she lost her nerve.

She didn’t have to say it twice, or explain what she meant. She could see the sleep leave Max’s system, the way his expression shifted.

He smiled, cupping her cheek and leaning in again, this time to press his forehead against hers. “Thank you, baby.”

Sean rolled over, facing her. “I’ll call work if you’ll text Ross,” he said to Max.

“Ross?” she asked.

Sean smiled. “Yeah. We have a little surprise for you this morning.”

“What kind of surprise? And I thought trying to make me brain before coffee was a hard limit.”

“You’ll see,” Max said.

Since the men weren’t going to work, Sean got the coffee going while Max cuddled with her in bed. “We’ll help you take your shower this morning,” he told her. “Then we’ll all get going.”

“Get going where?”

“You said no braining before coffee.”

“Stop using my words against me,” she muttered.

But they had her…curious. She knew they wouldn’t let Ross actually do anything to her. While he’d helped the men with rigging and shibari before, he didn’t actually play with her. So it couldn’t be that.

She also knew he was an attorney. While his practice had primarily been IP and copyright law, he was semi-retired now and frequently helped Ed take up the slack with anything having to do with one of their Suncoast Society friends.

Hmm.

Max turned on the early morning news for them to watch while they waited. Sean returned a few minutes later, carrying a tray holding their mugs of coffee, as well as a glass of water for Cali, and her morning meds.

“We also need to tell Essie that we won’t need her as early today,” Sean reminded Max.

“Ah, you’re right. Can you please do that for me?”

“Sure.” Sean left the room to get his phone.

“You guys are sure acting weird,” she noted.

Max arched two intact eyebrows. “You mean weirder than normal?”

She snorted. “Yeah.” Her hand throbbed and she’d be glad when her morning medicine kicked in. The sling helped that, but it wasn’t worth putting it on right now when they’d be getting showers soon. “What’s next?”

“Once Sean’s back, we’ll all take our showers, then we need to get you dressed in appropriate going-out wear.”

“That means real pants?” Clothes had been a pita to manage with her dominant hand useless to her right now. She’d defaulted to a long T-shirt and panties when she didn’t have to go anywhere, and Essie had helped her get dressed before her doctor appointment and their errands yesterday.

“Yeah, babe. Jeans and a shirt, nothing fancy.”

“Well, that’s a relief.”

They waited until after they had securely taped a plastic bag over her hand to protect it from getting wet and they were all in the shower to reveal the plan to her.
