He opened his mouth.

I put my hand over it. “Don’t you dare.”

His eyes danced, and that was bad enough.

He spoke against my hand, so I took it away to hear him finish “…relaxed to fuck?”

I didn’t need the first part.

“You’ll have to do all the work.”

His hands went up my sweater. “Not a problem.”

I knew it wouldn’t be.

His head started descending.

“Tanyn?”

It stopped.

“Thank you for coming down here for me,” I whispered.

Lightning struck his gaze right before his mouth hit mine.

“This sucks.”

“I’ll be back on Friday.”

“This still sucks.”

“It does indeed.”

I was in Tanyn’s arms outside the lift.

My besties were due there in half an hour.

I’d managed to order the supplies so I had something to serve them. I’d also managed to text comm Mom and Dad to share Tanyn was there, and we were working through things.

I’m surprised and delighted, was Dad’s reply.

I left them to it and went back to Tanyn’s and my snuggle, watch-mindless-screen, eat-junk, have-sex-often (his stamina was legendary) weekend.

Which was now over.

Or at least that part of it was.

I hadn’t told my babes that we’d made up and were courting. They were going to be there soon. I could tell them in person.

But first, I had to say goodbye to my male.

And it was sucking.

“I’d have to check my schedule, but I could send the soni-jet one night. You can come up. Have dinner. Spend the night. And head down early so you won’t miss work,” he suggested.
