right guy was worth it.”
“And I’m the right guy?” He pulled his shirt over his head.
“Yes.”
“We’re doing this for stress relief, and because I don’t think we can work together right now until we do.”
“I love how you’re making excuses.”
“I don’t want you being hard on yourself.” He pulled my shirt off.
“I want you.” I unbuttoned his shorts and tugged them down. I followed that up with his boxers.
“I want you too. I always want you.” He pulled down the gym shorts, leaving them at my feet.
“Any preference for where?” He cupped my breasts.
I moaned. “Here. Right here.”
“I was thinking the same thing.”
The rug was soft underneath my back when Toby laid me down on the floor. His mouth went right to my breast, teasing my nipple while his hand moved between my legs.
I took him in my hand and stroked him gently. “I’ll never get enough of you.”
“Good. I don’t plan on letting you.” He kissed the spot right between my breasts. “I’ll be right back.”
I waited impatiently for him to return with a condom. He put it on before positioning himself over me. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
He thrust into me with such force that he left me breathless. He wasn’t careful with me, and I liked that. I liked that he didn’t worry about me being too fragile.
His quick and deep movements rocked me against the rug. I thrust up against him, letting him know I wanted even more. He thrust in harder, his full length filling me and satisfying me in a way I knew no one else ever could. I grabbed onto his back, letting my nails dig into his skin. Those marks would disappear quickly. Fast healing was one of the nice perks of being a Pteron.
His breath picked up just as mine did, and I wasn’t sure how much longer I could hold on. The days of stress and worry had built up and mixed with the pleasure. All I wanted was release. I closed my eyes, savoring the intense sensations running through my entire body. He pushed me over the edge just before he shuddered.
He lay on top of me for a few minutes, staying inside me for far longer than usual. Neither of us wanted to separate and face reality again.
“Feeling any better?” He kissed me lightly.
“Much better. More focused.”
“So what you’re saying is we’re going to have to have sex before all your exams when you start school again.”
I laughed. “Like you’d complain.”
“Complain?” He shook his head. “Not a chance. More like beg you to take more credit hours.” He pulled out and rolled next to me on the floor.
“I’d take more classes if it meant more of that.”
He smiled. “I was hoping you’d say that.”

The sound of my phone ringing had my entire body tense. Was it my mom calling back? Was it Vera? We’d moved to the couch and were curled up under a throw blanket. We still had an hour before Eric would get into Coffee Heaven. If I had to wait, at least I got to do it naked with Toby. I moved to grab my phone.
“I’ll get it, relax.” Toby moved out from under me. I missed his warm strong body immediately, but I knew he’d be right back.
He glanced at the screen just as it stopped ringing. “It was Tiffany.” He handed me my phone.
“Oh! I should probably call her back.”
He handed me my clothes. He knew me well enough to know I didn’t like talking to people while naked. Well, people who weren’t Toby. “Yeah, she seemed pretty shaken up after you were taken. I’m sure she’s back in New Orleans.”
“I’d hope so.” I called her back and waited for a few rings. I was about to set the phone aside when she answered.
“Casey? Hey.”
“Hey, Tiffany. How are you?” I really hoped she wasn’t too messed up from anything. I’d heard this wasn’t her first run in with paranormals, but it didn’t mean it got any easier to handle. It was hard for me, and I wasn’t human.
“I’m fine. It’s you I’m worried about.”
I smiled. She was so sweet.
