“Do you truly want to stay in Auroria now?”
He rolls over, adorably sleepy as he stares into my eyes. “I never should have left in the first place.” His voice is earnest and compelling, and I have no choice but to believe him.
“Now, let me spoon you.”
I roll over, deep in thought as his words settle in. Skyler pulls me close to his body, curling around me and fitting perfectly like a piece to a puzzle. His cock starts to thicken as he grinds against my ass before pulling back.
“Sorry. It can have a life of its own sometimes. ‘Night, Ander.”
“Goodnight, Sky.”
I fall asleep to blissful thoughts and a warm, hard body wrapped around me.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
SKYLER
It’s been a week since the portal incident and subsequent blow job, and I have to say, things have been going pretty smoothly. I’m sort of waiting for the next catastrophe to strike because it seems like things are too good to be true right now.
Well, besides my mom abandoning me and the fact that I’m still hiding my ears. . .
And Oleander and I are still hiding our connection.
We’ve both been busy with our extra class and trying to catch up from missing the first week of school that we’ve hardly had any downtime. It seems like the only time we hang out is when we’re working on our homework or cramming for the fucking chemistry quiz.
God, how I despise chemistry.
“I’m just no good at it,” I whine to Ander. “Even with your expert tutoring, I’m a lost cause. I’m going to fail the quiz tomorrow.”
“You won’t now try again. You can do it. Just keep an eye on the thermometer, and make sure cold water is continually pumping into the condenser, or it won’t work.”
“You make it sound so easy,” I grumble under my breath.
“One more time,” he says patiently in that musical voice of his. I can’t help but obey, even though I’m worried something’s going to explode and take off my eyebrows.
Oleander’s movements are confident and light, like a feather dancing on the wind. I feel the soft caress of his hand before I even hear him move. “Set up the apparatus again and restart the distillation process.”
His presence is distracting yet reassuring. I set everything up exactly as he instructed me, so when the distilling flask begins to bubble over the Bunsen burner, the bright blue liquid starts to evaporate.
“You got this.” Ander smiles at me, and I know he’s in his element. He’s going to ace this class. Unfortunately for me, learning about chemistry is all part of the standard Elemental Magic curricula, not just for Earth Fae. So Professor Chastain is making us set up a live distillery for him since there are only two of us.
I keep an eye on every piece of the apparatus, paying special attention to the thermometer and adjusting the burner. Cool water pumps into the condenser, and finally, the receiving flask begins to fill with the distillate.
“Fucking yes!” I shout, pumping my fist into the air. I grab the glowing tonic infused with my own magic, knowing I’ll more than pass the quiz if I can just replicate this tomorrow.
“Great job, Sky. Sometimes, if you take a deep breath and look at all of the smaller details like a piece of the larger puzzle, you can tackle the problem bit by bit.”
This sexy tutor role he’s taking on is making my dick plump up, images of him on his knees flashing through my head. “I couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks for being thebesttutor,” I murmur, setting the flask on his desk and backing him against the wall.
“We weren’t done studying, Sky. We need to practice our magic,” Ander protests weakly. We haven’t messed around since that night. We were emotionally exhausted wrecks and let pure passion take over, but I didn’t get to reciprocate beyond spooning. We’ve slept in our own beds since, focusing on our studies and not getting into further trouble. Which can sometimes be hard for me.
“Fine,” I breathe into his mouth, pulling ions from the air and forming small currents that I send dancing over his skin like a tickling caress. “How’s that for practice?” Ander gasps as a warm breeze wraps around us even though we’re inside. I plunge my tongue into his mouth, kissing him deeply before peppering his jaw with gentle presses of my lips. I make my way to his ear, where I slowly nibble, lick, and suck my way up to the pointed tip.
“Skyler,” he breathes out, his voice a plea.
I make my way back to his lips, kissing them lightly. “What do you want, my prince?” I stare into lust-filled lavender eyes, urging him to voice his desires aloud. The currents move lower under my command, caressing his ass and dipping in between. Ander groans, his eyes rolling into the back of his head.
He likes it.
