“Travis is stable now, so you ought to go get some sleep, too, Marley,” Lana said. “It’s late, and I want to see if I can get some sleep myself at this point.”
“Okay,” I said. “Just come knock on the door if you need us. The room is soundproofed, so we may not hear you if you shout.”
“Of course it’s soundproofed, you dirty birds,” Lana teased, pinching my side.
I yelped as I got back up to my feet. “Well, it’s either that or subjecting poor Noah to childhood trauma,” I said as I reached the door. “Good night, Lana.”
“Good night,” she said with a smile. “I’ll see you in the morning.”
I walked down the hallway and carefully opened the bedroom door, slipping in and closing the door as quietly as possible so as to not wake Cole.
“I’m not asleep,” he said from the bed, making me jump.
“You’re not?” I asked, turning around.
“Couldn’t,” he said with a sigh before rubbing his face. “Been thinking too much.”
“About what?”
I peeled off my clothes as I walked over to the bed, shimmying out of my pants and pulling off my shirt. I thought about getting myself some pajamas, but decided against it. Now that I was about to get into bed, I was vividly aware of just how exhausted I was.
I sat on the edge of the bed and reached behind me to unhook my bra. Just as I was about to catch the strap, Cole grasped it with a single hand and undid the clasp.
“Let me,” he said.
I nodded gratefully, allowing him to slide the straps off my shoulders. As I did, I looked back at him and saw his gaze move appreciatively over my body. My skin tingled with the soft undulation of sleepy arousal.
“Thank you,” I murmured, lying down.
Cole scooted closer to me, pulling me into his strong arms and squeezing me close. My lips twitched, and I was pleased to be back in his arms and not feel so uncomfortable. Pleased we were back on good terms.
“So, what have you been thinking about?” I asked again.
“You,” he said, kissing the space behind my ear.
“About me transitioning?” I asked. “If you’re worrying about it, don’t. I told you I haven’t made my decision yet.”
“No,” he said. “I’m not worrying.”
He kissed the hollow of my neck, right where it met my jaw. A soft breath escaped me, and I blinked slowly as another wave of tingles moved through me, this time accompanied by a familiar heat building in my stomach. “Then, if you’re not worrying...”
One of his hands drew a slow, torturous path up the outside of my thigh before he curled the seam of my underwear around his finger, pulling the garment taut so it pressed into the curve of my backside.
“I’ve missed you,” he said. “I’ve missed touching you, smelling you, tasting you. I can’t stop thinking about it, can’t stop thinking about how much I want to ruin you.” His voice was rough with desire against my ear. “To devour you, to bite into your flesh, to taste every part of you.” His fingers traced a slow line up my waist, stopping right below my breasts.
A thrilling tremor ran through me, and I arched into his touch. I felt the heavy swell of his cock, not yet a full erection, but a sign that his arousal was building, too.
“Is that what you want?” I asked, my voice trembling. “I was sure you wouldn’t want to do that while Travis and Lana were here.”
“The room is soundproofed,” he said against my neck.
“That’s true,” I said with a needy whimper.
I felt his lips curve against the slope of my shoulder.
“What’s so funny?” I asked with a soft gust of laughter.
“You’re adorably transparent when you’re turned on,” he said.
