Nia’s eyes blinked open and she squinted at the ceiling. The room was still quite dark. It wasn’t light out yet and she wasn’t sure exactly what had woken her up, but something had.

For a few moments, she lay in the dark, her eyes adjusting to the lack of light around her.

Then she heard it.

A dull thud and then another right against the wall behind her head.

Uhhhh.

She knew what that was.

In any other circumstances, she’d have been alarmed, thinking someone had broken into her apartment.

But she wasn’t in her apartment anymore, she wasn’t even on Earth, and no one was breaking into her room here.

Another dull thud hit the wall and the undeniable muffled sound of a woman moaning reached her ears.

Nia squeezed her eyes shut and groaned as she buried her face in the bedding.

Oh God.

A male grunted, and when the woman moaned again, Nia cringed and buried her face deeper into the bedding.

It was Riv and Lauren. The other human female and her Merssi mate slept in the room directly adjoining hers and, unfortunately, that meant Nia heard quite clearly whenever they were getting it on.

And they ‘got it on’ A LOT.

Maybe it was Lauren’s hormones or something else, but she couldn’t seem to get enough of the guy.

“Please…” She heard Lauren beg.

Riv growled something fierce.

Fuuuck. Goddamnit. Nia cringed again.

To Nia, that growl sounded more scary than sexy, but from the moan that left Lauren’s mouth, she guessed it was the latter.

They were so loud.

The walls weren’t thin either.

It was either that Riv was fucking good at what he was doing or Lauren was putting it on.

Something told her it was the former. Why else would they be at it so much?

Something slammed hard into the wall and it caused Nia to jump.

She half expected someone to howl out in pain, but that didn’t happen.

It was probably Riv’s body that collided with the wall then.

Despite that the male was the grumpiest person she’d ever met, he was incredibly soft and caring to his mate. The sex sounded rough, but Lauren never had bruises…and she never complained.

Nia shrugged. Not her business, really. At least one of them was having some fun around here.

That thought made an uncomfortable heaviness settle over her, and she shook her head to push the feeling away.
