Bug stretched out beside me, grabbing the book from the bedside table that he’d left there and flipping it open.

I rolled into his side, cuddling him as he began reading while he played with my hair softly. His fingers were gentle and soft, gliding through my hair as he held his book with his other hand.

I sighed as I relaxed at the tender touch. His welcome scent of charred ash and old books filled my nostrils, making me feel perfectly at home.

He was so warm against my body, and I nuzzled into his side, my stomach fluttering as a fire sparked within me. I was quite exhausted, but something within me was stirring now at his closeness, and I welcomed it.

I pulled back, causing him to flick his gaze down to me curiously as I rose up to gaze at him.

“Everything okay?” he asked softly, and I just nodded with a small smile.

Everything was perfect. He was perfect. I brushed my lips against his, catching him by surprise, but he quickly melted into it as he set his book down. I quivered as his tongue teased along my lower lip, and I moved to straddle him, loving how his hands slid down my back to hold me in place.

He tasted sweet and yet fiery, something I’d discovered about my hellhounds. They all had a slightly smoky taste when we kissed, and I loved it.

Our kiss grew hungrier and more desperate as the fire within me grew, that now familiar ache flaring up. His hands trailing over every inch of my bare skin available was only fueling the embers within.

I moaned softly as his hands moved to slide up under my shirt, gliding over my stomach and causing me to tremble.

I wanted this to go beyond a make-out session. I wanted to experience things with him like I had with Chum and Jack, to connect with him on a more intimate level.

I ran my hands up under his shirt, loving how his mouth was becoming more desperate against mine. More hungry and wild.

I traced over his tight muscles, unable to get enough of his warm skin beneath my fingers.

I slid them back out, wanting to feel more of him as I started tugging his shirt up.

He broke the kiss, drawing in ragged breaths as he gazed at me with those dark, longing eyes. But a flicker of uncertainty made me pause as he bit his lip.

“What’s wrong?” I asked as his horns extended for the first time in ages.

“Are you wanting this to go further?” he asked softly, his hands still on my hips as he gave me that questioning gaze. He looked so worried all of a sudden, and my heart skipped a few beats uncertainly.

“Do you not want it to?” I asked as I sat back on his hips, trying not to focus on the excitement that was pushing against me.

“I’m not sure I can perform as well as Jack and Chumley,” he admitted as those dark eyes flicked away nervously.

His fingers bounced over my hips, and I knew he was longing to toy with his elastic band once more.

“I think you’ll do fine,” I assured him with a soft smile as I cupped his face, drawing his gaze back to mine. “But we can hold off doing anything until you’re ready, there’s no rush.”

He stared up at me, a small smile playing at his lips as he thought on it.

“I think I’d like to try. I feel safe with you, but can I just grab something?” he asked, giving me a sheepish look that made me soften.

“Of course,” I said as I clambered off him, hating the loss of his warm body beneath mine but not wanting to make him uncomfortable.

He was quick to scuttle off and out of the room, and I just pursed my lips as I sat on the bed.

What did he want to get anyway?

I checked my phone, shooting Jack a text to check up on Creeper and him. Creeper rarely charged his phone, so Jack was always the best one to contact.

He sent back that they’d scouted things out and would handle the job in only a few minutes. They’d be home before I knew it.

My chest tightened at that. So, they were on scene right now, prepared to deal with the demons.

I hoped the mission went well.
