Lenni did the math quickly on a sheet of paper. She had to check it twice to be sure. She was going to make much more money than she originally expected from this job. She leaned back on her pillow, smiling in the warm morning light. She stretched once and rolled over before her feet touched the soft carpet.

She was going to have to find some slippers soon because the hardwood floors and marble bathroom weren't that warm. She was so glad she had asked for a room with a carpet under the bed. For someone so wealthy, she was surprised how chilly Beckett kept his home.

She put on a kimono-style robe before hurrying to Beckett's closet. While walking down the hall, she checked the weather on her phone. It was going to be seventy-five and breezy. First, she pulled out a pair of gray sweatpants and set them near the door. Beckett always started the day in sweatpants. He was going to work out first, God knew why.

He had a typical shifter's body. There was no need for him to work out a day in his life. But still, every morning she'd been there during the week, he worked out in the personal gym in the basement or gone for a run in the woods out back.

While he worked out, she usually picked out his second outfit of the day and checked the weather for the next day to get ideas. Then, she had her breakfast while checking the news and after breakfast she would use the workout room herself. It was a nice routine. Patrick had been right; working for Beckett was ridiculously easy. She thought she'd had it nice at Pat's Pages, but that was a grueling job compared to this.

Today she decided his work clothes should be something colorful. His wardrobe had so many more options than she had first noticed. Hidden in the second row of shelves were shirts of every color in the rainbow.

She knew that he preferred everything in shades of grays, blacks, whites, and blues best but it was so dull. It was only going to be them in the house. She didn't see why he couldn't wear something more colorful. So far he hadn't said anything and he seemed to like her choices.

"Up early I see?"

Lenni blushed and kept her back to the door. Beckett was up before she expected. She knew he was naked and didn't want to see that again. The first time had been enough.

Not that she was complaining about what she'd seen. His body was a sight to behold. He was strong and thick in all the right places. But she didn't think she should be seeing her employer naked. Potter had explained on her third day that Beckett liked having a skeleton crew working at the house for this reason. Typical shifter, he liked being naked as often as possible and had no problem being in his birthday suit.

While she admired his confidence, it was a bit much for her. It would take her more than a few days to get comfortable seeing him naked all the time. Though she might never get used to it. His naked body was too beautiful to look at. She didn't know how anyone could ever get used to seeing him like that.

"I didn't know you'd be up so early," she told him. "I was sure it was going to be a few more hours."

"I wanted to get a longer workout today," Beckett said from behind her. "I was thinking I'd go for a long jog out back."

She heard him pull up his pants, but she wanted to be sure and so she counted another three beats in her head before turning. "Is it safe to go running in the woods?"

Beckett's eyes traveled down to her feet and back up her legs twice before returning to her eyes. "It will help me get used to running on uneven terrain. If I can run out there, I can run anywhere."

"Are you training for one of those obstacle course marathons?"

"Something of that sort." He grabbed a headband from his drawer and slipped it on. "It's a shifter run. You do your part of the marathon as your animal and part as a human. This one is for bears only, so it should be even more challenging."

"But the bears couldn't run that fast for that long right?" His eyes were wandering again. It took all of her nerve not to pull her kimono tighter. She knew he couldn't see anything from the way he looked at her. It was unnerving. Like he was undressing her with his eyes.

"We can't. But that doesn't make it any less fun. In fact that's part of the challenge. Knowing your animal and knowing when to use a burst of speed."

"When is the marathon?" Her hand strayed up to the tie at her waist and she wrapped it around her finger. She was not going to close her robe tighter. She didn't want him to see that he was getting to her.

"It's going to be in the fall." He eyed the finger at her waist and he met her eye and smirked. Was he reading her mind or was she that much of an open book? She usually had a great poker face, but it seemed like Beckett always knew what she was thinking.

"So you're not going to be hibernating this year I take it?" he joked. She knew that bear shifters didn't hibernate, but it was still a funny way to lighten the mood. "With the way you live, I don't think anyone would notice if you were gone for two or three months of the year."

His smirk changed to a smile. "I guess I won't be hibernating any more than usual this year then. Do you think my lifestyle is that eccentric?"

"It seems like you can live just fine without any contact with the outside world for months. That's a little strange."

Beckett groaned. "Strange. Does that mean I'm getting to Howard Hughes territory or just fun rich guy with quirks?"

Lenni laughed. "I haven't seen any jars in your room, so I think you're still in the quirky territory. Plus, you're still pretty handsome. I think the women of the world would notice if you were gone for too long."

"Because I'm so handsome?" The smirk was back again. Jeez.

"I'm going to get dressed now. I'll get your second outfit ready while you're working out."

"I like the colors," Beckett said when she was almost out the door.

That stopped her in her tracks. She couldn't stop smiling. She was sure she was going to float away on a cloud after that stupid little comment. "Really? I was worried you hated it but weren't saying anything. I was waiting to have a sit-down with Potter about my crazy choices."

"I would never leave it to Potter to correct something for me," Beckett laughed. "I almost never reach for color myself. I had forgotten I have many of the shirts. Nice to see them again."

"I'll be sure to keep it up while we're here. But don't worry," Lenni put her hand up. "Scouts honor. I'm going to be sure to keep everything for the wedding neutral and very classic."

"You have something in mind already?"

Lenni went to one of the racks at the back of the closet. "This is what I have in mind right now. Mostly, it's a tux of course, black suits, and white shirts. You can mix and match black and whites. You'll look great and won't stand out in a crowd."

"I like it. But don't be afraid to bring a colorful shirt or two. I really am loving it."

"Good to know." She knew she was grinning like an idiot, but she couldn't help it. This was the first feedback she'd gotten from him about her picks and it was good.

"I'm headed off for a run now. Interested to see what you have when I get back." He winked at her before he left the closet.

She was doing well. And by the end of this, she was going to have more money than she had ever had in her lifetime. With the money she made from this job, she was going to be able to live for eight months.

That was eight months without any other job. She was nervous at first, but now she was so glad she had taken it. This was life-changing in a very good way. This was the best thing that had ever happened to her. She didn't know how she'd gotten so lucky. She was going to be thanking her stars every night. Working for Beckett was a dream come true.
