“We have a problem.”

Only when Aaron said that did Daphne realize that she had been quietly watching him, like a tourist ogling a marble statue of a naked man, while he stood there by the counter making his morning coffee. Naked.

The room she rented was a studio apartment leased out for short-term visitors, decorated like a hotel room but with a full kitchen. Since she didn't bother to bring anything but leftover beer and chips, Aaron was making his drink using the complimentary instant coffee sachet and bottled water.

Completely naked.

Right there, hands flat on the counter, waiting for the electric kettle to tell him his water was boiling. She had the view of his entire backside, from his bed-head hair to the scuffed heels of his feet. She could hear him grumbling about the cream and sugar in the instant coffee pack, but that didn't keep him from mixing it with water in one of the white mugs he found on the counter.

But yes, they had a problem. It was ten a.m. and they'd already run out of condoms. The last one was used at four a.m. and it was Daphne's spare because of course she had a spare. Still, that didn't stop them from being creative without penetration so early that morning.

“I'm on the pill,” she said. “But you came on the towel so let's not be too ambitious.”

“That's not what I meant, but thanks.”

His arm lifted, bent at the elbow, when he took the mug to his mouth and sipped. He was nicely proportioned, lean and sturdy, athletic and rough. She knew from how he was with her that he pushed his body, kept it active. She had “quirks” of her own, she guessed, healed wounds on her knees and elbows, softer curves around her hips and belly. She was comfortable enough with all of it to let certain people see it. Walking around doing chores would be next level.

How nice to have gotten a head start in complete IDGAF, as men like Aaron surely had.

“Were you always against clothing?” she teased. “Or is this a holiday present for me?”

He turned around, mug in hand, and looked down the front of his body, the side now blessedly exposed to her. “Like this? It started when I got my own place. I only gave up sharing apartments a few years ago, so this is still a little new.”

“Is it the climate or something? Too hot for you?”

“You ever go out and do nature stuff, Daphne?”

“Not really, no.”

He made it back to the bed and sat close, so she now got to check out his profile and the curve of his left butt cheek. “You should. It's so wide. If you ever felt trapped being in the city, it's nice to be reminded that you don't have to be. Things can be open and wide again, you know? Sometimes I go on a climb and there's nothing man-made for long stretches. You see a little bit of what it's like to be free.
