He awoke with a start. Pulling her off of him, he looked for his phone and checked the time.

She stirred and looked at him. "Hm?"

"Oh fuck. Forty minutes." He began to search for his clothes.

"Oh, fuck."

"Phone?"

"Check."

"Keys?"

"Yep."

"Clothes? Your bag?"

"Yup. I'm keeping the rope with you, though."

She smiled. "Good. Um..."

"You?" He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck, which was filled with nicks and hickeys.

She laughed. "Do you want me to come over?"

"Well, I think I'm a little spent. But if you wanted to come over, I think I'd be down to just cuddle and hang out."

She thought about it for a moment. "Hey, Tyler?"

"Yes?" He kissed her again.

"I love you. A lot. I love cheating with you. And I'm 100% down to cuddle and stuff, but...we need to draw a line."

"What are you saying?"

"Tyler...I feel like I want to be with you. Not just cheating. I really, really love you. Do you want to...um, you know. Um..."

She struggled to find the words.

"Do you want to break up with Kaitlyn and Tom? Do you want to go out with me?"
