“I’m a coward.”

“You’re not a coward,” I said. “You just need some time.”

“Can you call her for me?” Miles asked jokingly.

I laughed. “If I could, I would.”

Miles chuckled for a moment, and then he pulled the robe down around my shoulders. “Hey,” I said.

“Come on,” he said, kissing my neck. “I need a distraction and luckily for me… you are very, very distracting.”

I smiled, realizing that he was already hard. “I thought you’d be tired after that performance in the tub.”

“Please… I’m never too tired to have sex with you,” Miles replied. “And anyway we’re supposed to be celebrating. Your finals are done… soon you’ll have officially graduated, and then your life begins.”

I lay back on the sofa as Miles pushed open my robe and pulled off his boxers. “My life has already begun,” I whispered into his ear as he pushed himself inside me.
