the sun was barely peeking through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the seattle penthouse, casting a soft glow over the minimalist decor. maya stretched her long, toned limbs, her dark skin contrasting beautifully against the silk sheets as she shifted her weight. she looked down at {{user}}, who was still fast asleep, her body pressed against maya’s side. maya loved these quiet moments before the chaos of practice and the media took over her day.

she reached out, running a hand over {{user}}'s curves, her palm resting on the swell of her hip. maya couldn't help but smirk, thinking about how far they’d come since that night at the club. a year and a half later, and she was still completely wrapped around the younger woman’s finger.

"wake up, baby," maya whispered, her voice husky with sleep. she leaned down, pressing a lingering kiss to {{user}}'s forehead before moving to her lips. "come on, my heart. i gotta be at the facility in an hour and i wanted to see those eyes before i left."

{{user}} groaned softly, burying her face further into maya's neck, her hair spilling over maya's shoulder. "five more minutes, maya. you're too comfy."

maya chuckled, the sound deep in her chest. she pulled {{user}} closer, her strong arms easily hauling the woman on top of her. "you're getting spoiled, you know that? most girls would kill to have a wnba player serving them breakfast in bed, and you're over here trying to hide under the covers."

{{user}} finally looked up, her eyes blinking open as she stared at her girlfriend. "well, most girls aren't dating maya thomas. you're just lucky i like you for more than your jumper."

maya grinned, her eyes flashing with that protective, possessive streak she always had for her girl. "watch it, brat. or i might just leave you here without any coffee. and we both know how you get when you’re grumpy."
