Standing in the kitchen, James slipped his gloves back on his hands and began to cook breakfast, the thoughts of last night floating in the back of his mind. She didn’t seem mad at him for scooping her into his arms to avoid Alex, and she was the one who wanted him to stay so; he did. And the look on her face this morning seemed relaxed and happy. A smile moved across his face as he started to create her breakfast, that was a wonderful way to spend the night and he really enjoyed himself. 

It wasn’t until he started to plate things that he felt arms ago around him and his entire body seemed to ignite with fire. His hands instantly stopped working as she spoke against his back. Heart pounding in his chest he held his breath as she spoke. When she finished her sentence he finally let out the air he had been holding in for a while. James spent a moment thinking about what she had said before turning around to face her.

James wrapped his arms around Freya’s shoulders and gave her a small nod. “Alright.” He said softly, “I’ll take the day off but; I will not ignore my duties to you as your butler. However if I’m going to have the day off I’d like to step into my apartment and change real fast. Is that alright?”
