the morning after. // accepting!
@un1awful : i bet your neighbors hate us.
not everyone was granted the privilege of staying the night.
the circumstances varied as to why he would allow it, rather than giving them the space and time to shower and a helpful nudge to the door. sometimes it was simply too late, and atticus would set up the guest room, maintaining strict post-sex boundaries so no emotional attachment could be form. other times he was simply so spent and tired he was willing to tolerate an extra body in his bed.
and then there was the rare third option--someone who was lucky enough to stay in his bed until morning thanks to some connection in his life.
after all, it was unwise to put off a potential business partner or investor, or even someone, like the handsome blond in his bed, who was in charge of a very important task.
atticus would be better off simply keeping it in his pants and not mixing business with pleasure. but sometimes it couldn't be helped.
"they're used to it."
with a long stretch, he leaned over his side of the bed to grab a remote, and with a press of a button, the black-out curtains lifted. his penthouse suite had a beautiful full view of the city horizon, and as the curtains parted, warm spring sunlight poured in.
it was a little later than he'd normally like to be up--just past eight a.m.--but he'd pardon these special circumstances.
"you're welcome to the bathroom to shower and clean up," atticus continued, sitting on the edge of the bed as he checked through his phone. it had been silenced throughout their night of fun, and he noted the number of missed messages, mentally prioritizing them from least to most important to answer. "if you need a car, i can have that called for you as well."
glancing back at kurama, a wry smile curled his lips, a hint of sharp teeth peering out--teeth that had made themselves very familiar with kurama's skin. did he bring anything with a high collar?
"or, you can stay and relax. the door will automatically lock once you exit, so there's no rush to try and leave as soon as i do."
