“Ah, okay. Well, it's yours, then?”

We took the steps, not even discussing the lift as an option. Five flights later, we crept down the hall, hoping to avoid students. We were desperate not to be found out. We made it to mine on a floor of suites—peace at last!

“At least we survived,” Astrid said.

I swiped my key card, nodding. “Never a dull moment in the academy.”

The door shut behind us with a slow groan.

“Briggs sprung for all this space?” Astrid spun, taking in my corner suite. “And a king-sized bed? Posh!“

I took a deep breath. It was time to out myself.

“I may have paid the extra toupgradethe room.”

“You prat!“ She giggled. “Who's the princess now?”

I snickered. “Do you want to torture me, or do you want to have a good night, princess?”

“I want to see what I am missing, Your Grace,” Astrid confirmed, throwing her shoes aside.

ASTRID

I didn’t foreseea sexual awakening in the bed of my sworn enemy. Naked and kissing Parker, I was slightly nervous but also elated. It wasfinallyhappening! Given how handy he'd been, I trusted he wasn't about to disappoint me and knew what he was doing. It was like books taught me. Sometimes, the grumpy nerd was the freak the heroine least expected.

I ran my fingers down Parker’s torso gingerly to his cock. Nervous at first, I stroked it. I’d never seen one before inreallife—only in porn, and even that was a very recent development. My Internet was only a free-for-all for the past year. The internal shame ran deep, so it took me ages to discover it. I knew porn wasn't reality. I also assumed, based on the comparison to porny dicks, that Parker was well-hung. He wasn't small like I expected the average to be.

Braver now, I took his shaft firmly in my hand, almost mystified by how his dick could be simultaneously both softandhard. It was warm, and the skin tender against my hand. I pumped it up and down, examining how it felt and looked.

“Does it meet your standards, princess?” Parker ran his finger over my nipples.

“It's beautiful,” I answered.

“Not sure I've ever heard that before, but I will accept the compliment.”

“You have a beautiful cock; take it for what it is, given that I have no experience in this area.”

Parker smiled, leaning to kiss me. His hand again slipped down to my centre, finding my clit. I bit his lip and moaned. It feltsogood.

“I'm sorry I make so much noise.”

“Make all the noise you please, Astrid. I want to hear how good I make you feel. I want you to lose yourself. I need to know how well I did.”

“You are such a competitive asshole.”

“So are you, but I adore it.”

The man could say sweet nothings just as I'd suspected and craved in that ballroom a week before. He was glorious at it.

“You still want to do this?” Parker confirmed.

“Yes, please. Do you?”

Parker went to his luggage. “I only want to please you, Astrid.”

Pleaseme? I was about to faint, almost drooling, as he slowly rolled a condom on his erection. Parker crawled into bed and parted my legs with his body, looking hungry for what we were about to do.
