Evan's smile was so bright while he put his arms around me. "You don't ever have to worry about that. I’ll always be here for you."

The words were a vow, a promise, and over the following days he held to them. We found a balance between work and studying, finding a rhythm that worked for us and Sofia. Studying while taking care of an infant was no joke, but Abi was always there when we needed her.

As the week progressed, I began feeling more prepared for the assessments, and when the day finally arrived, the whole family wished me good luck while I disappeared into Evan’s office. I made my way through the questions with ease, submitting my exam with confidence, and when it was done, I shut my laptop and sat back in the chair, sighing in relief. It was out of my hands now, and all I could do was hope for the best.

Excitement bubbled up as I got up from the desk and went to go find Evan. I didn’t have to go far. As soon as I opened his office door, he was standing on the other side.

“Well? How did you do?”

I laughed, half in disbelief. “Have you been here the whole time?”

He shrugged. “I’m your study buddy, remember? I’m invested in your success.”

I reached for him, pulling him into the room and shutting the door again. “Just how invested are you?”

His eyes darkened. “Invested enough to be at your disposal.”

I grinned. “Just what I was hoping you’d say.”

“What are you going to do with me?” Evan said.

“Why, show you my appreciation, of course.” I led him to the bed, feeling bold as I pushed him down onto his back.

“Oh, I could get used to this.” His eyes flashed gold. “For future reference, I’m happy to be of service.”

I laughed, my eyes drifting over his body. Sometimes it was hard to believe he was really mine. I reached for his shirt and pushed it up, taking in his carved chest, his chiseled abs. I’d seriously never known a man as sexy as Evan.

He grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head, watching as my hands moved to his pants, slowly undoing the button. I could practically feel his anticipation as I dragged my fingers along his waistband. He sucked in a sharp breath when I pulled at his zipper, his eyes heavy with desire.

I leaned forward, bracing myself over him as my lips brushed against his ear. “I want to make you feel good.”

His response was more like a moan than an answer, sending a thrill through my body, making me ache with my own desire. His body begged for my touch, and his now shallow breathing was spurring me on. I moved lower, dragging his pants down until he was completely naked.

The way he watched made me feel even more empowered, and I looked down with a smirk before bringing my hands to his muscled thighs and settling between his legs. He watched me, heat blazing there, as I lowered my head, my breath teasing him before I flicked my tongue out, tasting the tip of his cock.

Evan moaned, and I smiled even wider. This was exactly what he wanted from me. It was my turn to show just how much I appreciated him.

I took my time, exploring every inch of him with my mouth while I licked and sucked, loving the feel of him quivering beneath me as I picked up the pace. His groans grew louder, his hips bucking up to meet my mouth when I finally closed my lips around his cock and sank down on him, taking him deep in my mouth.

He reached down, pulling up my shirt and finding my breasts, shoving my bra down and teasing my nipples as I worked him over. My own body shuddered with pleasure, and I moved even faster, swirling my tongue around the head of his cock before taking him in deeper each time.

His hands clutched at the sheets as his breathing became ragged and his body tensed in anticipation. Just as he was about to reach climax, he pulled me off of him with a loud pop of the lips and growled.

"Not like this." He reached for me, pulling me onto the bed. "When I come, I want to be buried so deep inside your pussy, I don't know where I end and you begin."

I moaned, his words sending white-hot need coursing through my entire body. "Yes, please."

He gave me a grin, full of pure male satisfaction, then he was stripping me down, tossing my clothes aside before I was splayed out before him. Soon he was spreading my legs and lowering his head. I arched myself off the bed the moment his tongue touched my clit, swirling around in tight, fast circles.

"Oh, God," I said, moaning, knowing I was too loud but unable to stop myself.

He hummed along my clit, his tongue exploring every inch of me, pressing deep into my folds and dragging his teeth along the sensitive skin. His hands trailed up and down my legs before settling on my hips as he went even further, licking and sucking until I was a shivering mess.

I could feel the orgasm building inside me with each passing second, and when Evan sucked my clit between his lips once more, I let out a loud cry as it crashed over me in waves. My body shuddered with pleasure so intense, I lost myself completely to the sensations rocketing through me, reaching down to grab Evan's hair as he kept going, not stopping until I finally collapsed, my body limp as I floated on a cloud of utter bliss.

He climbed up into bed, wrapping his arms around me and nuzzling my neck with soft kisses while I came down from the climax, my body still feeling the aftershocks.

“I know I’m done with the exam,” I said when I finally caught my breath. “But can you still be my study buddy?”
