“You feel pretty amazing yourself,” I managed, feeling myself tighten around him. Theo’s eyelids fluttered, and he pulled almost all the way out before thrusting again.

I let out a satisfied groan, tilting my head back on the pillow, exposing my throat to him. He kissed my neck, his speed increasing as he slammed home harder and harder, spurred on by my body’s response to him. I could feel the orgasm building, each thrust making me wetter and wetter, propelling me to the point of unraveling.

Theo could feel I was close, his body so in tune with mine. He slammed into me hard, gyrating his hips, the tip of him hitting that sensitive spot inside of me, making me erupt. He kept thrusting, drawing my orgasm out until my eyes practically rolled in the back of my head. He drove into me again and tensed, letting out a low moan as he came, too.

Our hearts were pounding in sync, and Theo didn’t move for several minutes as he tried to catch his breath. When he finally did pull out of me, I felt bereaved by the loss. Theo removed the condom and stood, tying it off before he deposited it in the wastebasket by his desk before he rejoined me in his bed.

My hair was a tangled mess, and he brushed it tenderly from my face as he gazed at me.

“I really love doing that with you,” he grinned.

I turned toward him, covering my breasts with my arm. “Well, I love doing that with you, too.”

“Can I be honest?” he asked, and I nodded, biting down on my lower lip. “I’m glad you’re moving here, especially if it means we’ll get to do more of that.”

“Yeah, I’m glad I’m moving here too. And that’s an additional bonus. Is it included in the rent, or do I have to pay extra for it?” I teased.

He laughed, the sound of it rich to my ears. “Consider it a free perk.” He smiled, and I grinned back at him. “Seriously, though. Jasmine and Talia are stoked about this arrangement.”

“I honestly can’t wait to live with them. Jasmine and I used to talk about being roommates when we were in high school, but then our program choices pulled us in different directions. I’m a little nervous about moving without a job though.” I admitted.

“There’s a lot of local places you could find work at, and Baz’s sister works at the hospital, so you have that in.”

“I can’t see someone who doesn’t even know me vouching for me, though it’s nice of Baz to offer.”

“She’ll vouch for you, I have a feeling you guys will get along great. You’ll meet her soon; she lives in Sudbury with her husband, and they often go to Baz and Rhiannon’s gatherings.”

“Do they have a lot of gatherings?”

“Oh yeah. They put on a wicked Halloween party every year. Baz and Rhiannon have enough property that people can just toss up tents and camp out.”

“Sounds like fun,” I said, yawning. I was exhausted, the last few days of camping and late nights finally catching up on me.

“It really is,” Theo pulled me closer, and I nestled into his embrace.

My eyes felt heavy, and my body felt sated. I drifted off to a comfortable, relaxed sleep in his arms, feeling at home in his embrace.

LOOSE ENDS

Theo

The next morning, I awoke feeling like I’d had the best sleep of my life for a second night in a row. I couldn’t help but wonder if it had anything to do with a certain redheaded beauty tucked into the crook of my arm.

Her hair fanned out over my pillows and her palm splayed across my chest sent a visceral reaction through me; it made me want to experience it as frequently as I could.

Lux started to stir a few moments later, the shifting of her body against mine doing little to help the hard on I’d woken up with. My desire for her only grew with each moment that passed.

She blinked sleepily, drawing in a slow breath as she looked around and took in her surroundings. Lux gave me a drowsy smile when our eyes connected. “Morning.”

“Morning, gorgeous,” I replied, returning her smile. “How’d you sleep?”

“Amazing,” she murmured, stretching beside me. “What time is it?”

I turned my head, glancing at the alarm clock on my bedside table. “Nine o’clock.” I answered. With no sun slipping in through the cracks in my blinds, it felt earlier than it was. I could hear the rain hitting my window and the distant clashing of thunder, promising the stormy day we’d packed up early to avoid.

“We should get up, then,” Lux sighed, though she made no effort to move. I was in no rush either, though I let out a sigh of contentment in response. I could lay there with her all day and be happy just holding her, but a buzzing from my dresser interrupted our peace.
