I smelled coffee before I even made it downstairs, which was the first good thing about the morning.
The second thing was considerably more distracting.
Kaden was standing at the counter when I walked in, shirtless, sweatpants sitting low, hair still a mess from sleep, holding a mug like he hadn't just committed a crime against my ability to think clearly. I stopped in the doorway for exactly one second too long.
He didn't even turn around. "You're staring like you haven’t seen me before."
"No, I’m not." I crossed to the table and sat down.
He turned around then, and the look on his face said he'd already figured out exactly what the situation was. He set a mug in front of me, leaned down until his face was level with mine, and said very quietly: "Your heart rate went up the second you walked in."
I picked up the mug and looked somewhere else. "That's because I walked down stairs. Cardio."
