This feels like him. Simple and masculine.

I lie back with my arms outstretched above my head and inhale deeply, breathing him in.

This bed is so comfortable. I sink down into it like it’s a fluffy cloud. It envelops me and I curl to my side, settling my head on one of the pillows.

I allow my eyes to drop closed and let thoughts of Case occupy me while I wait for the real thing to come home.

A wet nose to my face startles me, and I open my eyes and give a little screech.

“Holy shit!” I quickly sit up and look around, trying to catch my bearings and figure out where I am.

Case’s bedroom.

My eyes focus and I see the source of my terror. A beautiful brown and black German Shepherd perched in the middle of the bed, staring at me.

“Uh...hi,” I say.

“Arya?” I hear Case call from the hallway just before he enters the bedroom. “Arya, come,” he commands, and she listens immediately, hopping off the bed and lying at his feet.

“You’re here.” I adjust my top that is now out of place and fiddle with my hair.

“I am. It’s my house after all. I came in after my shift and found you sleeping in my bed. You looked so peaceful, I couldn’t wake you,” he says, and I’m instantly mortified.

“I fell asleep? What time is it?”

“A little after eight”

“I slept for nearly three hours? Oh my God, Case, I’m so sorry. How long have you been here?” I quickly stand, moving far away from the bed.

“First of all, you have nothing to apologize for. Second of all, I’ve only been home a little over an hour. Third of all, you were comfortable enough to fall asleep in my home. That’s more than okay with me.” He closes the distance between us and places his hands on either side of my face. “Now with that out of the way, I can greet you properly.”

He leans forward and presses the softest of kisses to my lips, and I instantly relax. The kiss doesn’t build. It’s not sexual in nature. It just feels like the perfect, sweet kiss. He allows it to linger for a moment then he pulls back and just grins at me.

“I really am sorry for falling asleep in your bed. It’s incredibly comfortable,” I say, matching his smile.

“A beautiful woman was asleep in my bed. It’s beyond fine.”

I bite my lip at his compliment.

“I had planned on coming home, fucking you thoroughly, and then feeding you, but your impromptu nap will force a little bit of a change. I ordered out for us. It’s in the kitchen now. I’ll feed you then I’ll fuck you. Any objections?” he says, with his arrogant swagger that makes me weak in the knees.

“Not a single one.”

Case

“Case...Case...oh my God,” she purrs into my ear as she comes around my cock.

She’s perched up on the kitchen table with her ass on the edge, and I’m standing with her legs around my waist; my cock buried so deep inside I can feel every suck and contraction of her walls.

We made it through dinner, but only barely, as the takeout boxes are still littered around us. She gave me a look and I knew I had to have her right here and right now.

I come a mere few thrusts after she does and bury my face in the crook of her neck.

“You’re going to be the death of me.” I kiss her lips, sinking a soft bite into them before I break the connection.

“But what a way to go,” she says as she giggles.

I slip from her body and step a couple paces back. “Let me take care of the condom. I’ll be right back.”
