I woke up to the faintest beam of sunlight starting to streak through the curtains of Camille’s living room. The sun was just starting to rise and was shining straight in my eyes. It was enough to cause me to stir awake, but Camille was still sleeping soundly, draped across my chest.

I watched her sleep for a moment, admiring the peaceful smile on her lips. I had forgotten how good it could feel to fall asleep and wake up again with a woman in your arms. Especially one you were starting to have feelings for.

I swallowed hard as I admitted to myself just how fond I was growing of her, but then felt the stinging reminder that this was supposed to be the end of it. I had promised to leave Heartstring alone...and her as well. Even though, truthfully, that was the last thing I wanted to do.

Then I remembered the last morning we had spent together after ravaging each other’s bodies. That conversation had taken no time at all in going south, and I couldn’t imagine this morning going any better given the circumstances.

Without waking her, I gently rolled her over onto the couch cushions and slid out from underneath her. I quietly gathered my things and left, stopping once to look back at her on my way out. She let out an adorable little moan and turned, giving me a glimpse of her bare breasts. It took every ounce of willpower I had in me to walk out the door instead of nuzzling up against them and sliding in between her thighs all over again.

But I shut the door behind me and kept walking. I went home, showered, and carried on with my usual business. There was a special Sunday brunch at the soup kitchen that day, and I assumed my usual role on the serving line.

Rudy, one of my favorite people to serve, smiled at me as he held out his plate for a helping of mashed potatoes, sausage, and gravy.

“How are you today, you old stud?” he teased me. “I saw that pretty girl who was tagging along with you the other week. When is she coming back? We need more beautiful women to go with our lunches.”

“Camille,” I replied. “Just a friend. I’ll let her know you’d like to see her again, though.”

“A friend?” He laughed. “I never would have thought that with the way you two were looking at each other. I certainly don’t look at my friends that way.”

“Well, your eyes are bad,” I teased.

“Maybe so. But I know what I saw. Come sit with me when you’re done, will you?” He eyed my shirt pocket, where I kept a flask specifically for the purpose of sharing with him. When all the others were served and everyone was sitting down to enjoy their meal, I made my way over to the seat Rudy had saved for me. I hoped that by bringing him booze he would spare me from more teasing about Camille. But he brought her up again in no time at all, much to my dismay.
