His hips lifted off the sofa and he stilled, his fist choking his cock, his expression frozen—but he didn’t stop moving his fingers in my folds.

My body stiffened, and I let go of his shoulders. My hands flew to my chest, and I shoved my bra down, cupping myself, offering my breasts to him. With a deep guttural groan, he stroked his cock hard, and it erupted. Warmth hit my skin and my muscles contracted around his fingers. My mouth opened in a silent scream as I came.

My entire body trembled, and Drew continued working my clit, gasping as his own orgasm quaked through him.

Finally, it was too much, and I collapsed, my breasts pressed against his chest and my hands weakly clasping his huge biceps.

He lowered his head and nuzzled my neck as I tried to catch my breath. His finger slid out of me, and I felt empty, but so satisfied.

I couldn’t talk, I could barely breathe, but I could cling to him, and that’s what I did, wrapping my arms around his neck. I wanted so badly to turn my head and kiss him, but I just couldn’t.

Drew cradled me to his chest, stroking my back lightly. Then he exhaled loudly, his warm breath spreading across my skin as he half stood, repositioning himself and me as well.

We ended up lying on our sides on the sofa, a big spoon and a little spoon. My back was to his front, with his arms around me, his lips on my neck. Neither of us said anything, but we didn’t need to.

I felt warm, safe, and surprisingly sleepy.

And above all, I felt closer than I had to anyone in a really long time.

Possibly ever.

SIERRA

When I woke in the middle of the night, I knew it must’ve been two o’clock, but I didn’t understand why I was staring at the embers of a dying fire and why I was extremely warm. But then I yawned, shifting my body slightly, and something behind me shifted, too.

Holy crap. Drew. I’d fallen asleep in Drew’s arms, and before that, we’d—we’d—

My sleepy brain came to a complete standstill, because I couldn’t fathom what had gotten into me. Everything we’d done—I’d initiated it.Me.

Unless I was dreaming?

But I felt Drew’s muscular body behind me, and his forearm was clamped around my waist. It was actually really comfortable being in his arms, although normally, I hated sleeping on my side.

Which wasn’t the point. The point was… we’d actually done that. Even though I pretty much lived like a nun.

It didn’t make any sense.

Yet, I didn’t regret it. That realization came to me as I enjoyed the warmth of his body pressed against mine for a minute longer. We’d touched each other and came together, and I didn’t regret it at all.

Hopefully he wouldn’t, either.

As comfortable as it was, being snuggled up against him like this, I knew I’d never be able to fall back to sleep if I didn’t get up. Decades of experience had taught me that.

Somewhat reluctantly, I lifted his arm off my stomach. It was heavier than I expected. I squirmed off the couch and onto the floor without waking him. The moment I let go of his arm, he shifted positions, turning onto his back with one leg hanging off the sofa, just like last night. Had that really only been one night ago that I’d peeked at him lying there and wondered what his cock looked like? I didn’t have to wonder anymore.

Quietly, I covered him with a blanket, and then I gathered up our clothes, putting his in a neat pile on the coffee table and setting mine in my room. Then I performed my normal middle of the night ritual of using the bathroom and getting a glass of water, but everything felt different.

Ifelt different.

My bed felt too large and empty when I climbed into it, and for a moment, I contemplated waking Drew and seeing if he wanted to stay in my bed. But that’d be too much too soon.

That wasn’t the only reason the bed felt empty. Where was Zeus? I was certain he’d been laying by the fire earlier in the evening, but I didn’t recall seeing him after Drew and I got… handsy, I guess you could say.

Very handsy.

I curled up on my side, trying to recall the way his body had felt behind mine, but it was no use. Plus, I’d never fall asleep this way, so I rolled onto my back.
