I grab his head and pull his mouth up to mine again because I need to dosomethingbefore I grind both of us into a fine powder.
“Are you okay? Was that too much?” He’s so soft when he asks that I almost start crying.
“I don’t know…” I say as I feel the word-vomit bubbling to the surface. I can’t stop it now. “I don’t know what I want because I’ve never wanted this before and I think I’m wet—likereallywet—and I’ve never really liked sex stuff but I like this and I like you and I think I want you to actually, like,fuck mebut I’m worried that if I don’t like it you’ll be mad or hurt or—I don’t know!”
“Whoa, okay, it’s okay,” he says, smoothing my hair back from my face. “We can do whatever you want, and I promise I won’t be mad or hurt if you change your mind or don’t like it. As long as youtell me, because the last thing I want is to do something you don’t want.”
“Okay…”
“But maybe let’s not do anything right now, since you’refreaking out a little bit,” he adds, and there’s a hint of teasing in his voice, but it’s not malicious. Still, I feel like an idiot.
“You can just say if you don’t want to,” I tell him, unable to mask my disappointment. “I know that I’m weird and probably off-putting and?—”
“You may be weird,” he says with a gentle laugh, hugging his arms around me and holding me closer, “but you are definitely not off-putting.”
“I said so many creepy things.”
He laughs louder and tucks his face into the crook of my neck. “Nothing you said was creepy.”
“But I said all that stuff and now you want to stop?—”
“Audrey—” He lifts his head slightly to speak quietly in my ear. “You just told me that you’re really wet and you want me to fuck you,” he says, and his breath against my ear sends a full-body shiver through me. “I am losing my fucking mind.”
“In a good way?” I ask hesitantly.
“A very good way.” He practically growls the words, and somehow I’m even more turned on than before.Somehow, him talking in my ear is better than any sex I’ve ever had.
I bury my face into the side of his neck as well and breathe deeply, but it does nothing to calm me down.
I’m about to tell him that I’m done freaking out and we can just go for it—the subsequent identity crisis can be a problem for Future Me—when there’s a knock at the door. To my actual apartment. The door that can only be accessed through a locked ground-level door at the side of the house—or from my grandmother’s house directly.
“Audrey?” Marie’s voice calls out from the other side of the door. “Are you home?”
Shit.

Save the Bees
@CartyPants
Summary:
Cartwright and Treagan have never gotten along, not for their entire undergrad program. And now they find themselves stuck with each other in grad school—one is studying Magical Melittology while the other is studying Occult Apiology; they’re night and day. But they might have to put aside their differences and work together if they want to save the bees. Or maybe even fall in love.
Author’s Note:
I haven’t even finished the game yet, but I just had to write about my favourite idiots. So now I’m spending all my time either playing SOA4 or writing Cargan fanfic. RIP my thesis.
Updates will happen as soon as I write a chapter, probably once a day, but I’m putting up the first five chapters right away. Enjoy the burn. :)
