He pulls back, digging in his pockets to retrieve his keys.

One moment I’m standing in front of Auggie, the next he’s helping me into the passenger seat.

I’m still giggling when he climbs into the driver's seat.

With the car in gear, I reach over and take his hand.

Auggie squeezes my hand with a gentleness that contrasts with the hunger in his eyes.

I bring his hand to my lips, softly kissing his knuckles. Then I nip the tip of his pointer finger, licking it before wrapping my lips around it and sucking.

“Fuck.”

His voice has taken on an animalistic quality that sends a shiver racing down my spine.

I should probably stop.

I don’t.

Instead, I repeat my ministrations to his middle finger, taking it deep into my throat before sucking hard.

Auggie releases a primal sound that goes straight to my clit, making it throb needily.

When I look at Auggie through my lashes, he’s gripping the steering wheel so tight, I fear it might break. His jeans are tented, his erection pressing an impressive outline that makes my mouth water.

Emboldened by…well, I’m not entirely sure, I reach over and rub his cock, enjoying the way it jumps beneath my fingers.

A slight crack draws my attention to where Auggie grips the wheel.

“You’re killing me, Moonlight. If you keep doing—” he groans as I swirl my tongue around his finger while stroking his cock. “That. Fuck, if you keep doing that, I’m going to pull the car over and behave in a very ungentlemanly manner.”

I pop off his finger and give him an innocent look.

“Am I…distracting you, Auggie?”

“You’re not a distraction, Cordelya. You’re my Moonlight,” he says with such reverence it steals my breath. “The moon at the center of my sky. Never a distraction.”

He cups my cheek, and I turn my head to kiss his palm.

Only a moment later it seems, we arrive back at my apartment, time having slipped by in the happy bubble we’re in.

Auggie parks and is around the side of the car to help me out in a flash. He presses me against the car, claiming my mouth like a man possessed. I push my hips into his, grinding down, drawing a deep moan from him.

He breaks the kiss and lays his forehead on mine.

“Moonlight,” he breathes, “I know when we get inside, we have the animal babies to take care of—” He pauses to press his cock into my core in a slow, deliberate tease. “But after that, you are all mine.” He punctuates the last words with quick hot kisses.

We practically sprint to the front door, momentarily getting stuck in our haste to make it through the door at the same time.

Dissolving into a fit of laughter, we divide and conquer as if we do this every day. I let a super-excited, clearly rejuvenated Minna out of her kennel, while Auggie pulls out the tin of cat food from the pantry.

He grabs Minna’s leash, attaching it quickly to her collar before heading out the door. I grab the cats' food dishes and open their food. Both felines appear the moment the tin opens, meowing impatiently. Their bowls go into their holder by the pantry, where they dive in as if they’ve never eaten a meal before. In the fridge, I grab the container of chopped kale, dandelion greens, and squash. I hear Buster hopping down the hall and grab his bowl from the small hutch next to Toby’s terrarium. As I add the veggies to his bowl and place it back into the hutch, Auggie returns with Minna. I place food in Toby’s enclosure as I hear Auggie pouring Minna’s food into her dish.

I’ve barely closed the fridge before strong arms wrap around me.

Auggie spins me around and grabs my ass, lifting me up.

I wrap my legs around his waist, head tipping back on a moan as his cock presses into my core.
