But shit has been difficult and unlike most people, she’s hard to predict. I never know what she’s thinking, never know where she’s at emotionally, which makes it next to impossible to know if she’s satisfied.

Her fingers brush through my hair, and I close my eyes. The soft scratches and pets spread across my skin until I push into her hand and squeeze her tighter. I called her a teddy bear, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more right.

“How are you?” I ask.

“Good,” she murmurs. “A little dizzy.”

“Am I too heavy?”

“No, Ash, she grumbles. “Shut up.”

I smile a little. “Shut up” and “I hate you” are definitely positive things from Sky. The best thing to hear, actually. I kiss her again, shift and kiss her throat, then kiss her, sucking her bottom lip between mine as I take her mouth the way I need to.

She kisses me back, soft fingers running down my neck. I flash a huge grin when I draw back. “I’ve decided I’m not moving. I’m just going to live right here on top of you.”

“But!”

I flop back on top of her, not hiding any of my weight, and she groans. “I have to clean up!”

“Nope.”

“Ash!”

I cover her mouth with my hand. “Getting all loud again? I thought you came.” She bites my hand, making me flinch. “So aggressive.”

But she kisses me again when I roll off her, grabs her shirt and runs out of the room quickly. I toss the condom, find a shirt in her dirty-clothes hamper and clean myself up before grabbing my jeans and dragging them on.

I flop in her bed and look over at her spider. He’s roaming around the cage, being his creepy self, but not even that can kill my mood. “Did you enjoy the show, Drac? Any comments? Constructive criticism?”

“Don’t talk to my spider about sex,” Sky advises, joining me on the bed. She pulls her knees to her chest and rests her chin there. “We’re not going to do that every time. Just to be clear.”

“Of course,” I agree. “Anything else?”

“Was I … good?” Then she takes a deep breath. “I mean, I know I really only laid there and took it, but I think girls can be bad at sex, and I don’t want to be, but it was my first time, so if you say I was bad, I might just kick you in the balls.”

I rub over her leg. “You were very good, Sky. The blow job, the sex, being on top, telling me no. All of it.”

“You’re not mad I told you no to the … other thing?”

“No.” I kiss her knee. “Better to tell me no than to tell me later you didn’t want it or weren’t ready.”

“Okay.”

“You can still tell me no for everything. Kisses, blow jobs, fingering, sex.” I list. “If you don’t want something, just tell me.”

She leans over and kisses me quickly before retreating. I’m not quite sure what to do with myself – again. After sex is normally cuddling, or getting up to do something, or eating. But Sky just kind of sits there, staring at the bed.

I shove her, and she shoves me back. “What?”

“You’re thinking in circles, aren’t you?”

“Listing things. I need to take the trash out, so no one sees the … thing.” She glances at my dick. “I’ll need to wash my bedding today. Definitely need a full shower. I didn’t even check if Chase is home, and … and I don’t know what to do with you.”

“You know just what to do with me.”

“Not right now,” she whispers. “Do we cuddle? Do we eat? Do we just get up and watch T.V.?”

“Whatever you want.” I tug one of her legs down. “I like cuddling.”
