"Fuck, I'm tired. Swear you got NyQuil in that pussy," he mumbled, pulling me closer.
I put my hand on his arm, stopping him. He opened one eye to look at me, and a small smile curved my mouth.
"Hold on," I whispered, climbing out of the bed and hurrying toward the bathroom.
We were both tired, so I needed to care for him quickly. I didn't want him to fall asleep while driving. I let the water warm while I grabbed two washcloths. Wetting them, I added a little of my body wash to one. I re-entered my room and crawled onto the bed. I washed and rinsed his pelvic area gently before sitting back on my heels.
"I'll see you next time," I said softly.
He nodded. That was all. We made very few plans about visits—most times, he'd just call, and we’d arrange something.
"You'll make sure the door is locked behind you?"
I was up, already pulling sleeping clothes out of my dresser as I spoke. I tossed one more smile at him over my shoulder before I disappeared into the bathroom to shower.
To say I was surprised when I walked out, clean and fresh-faced, to see him still in my bed was an understatement. He was so damn fine in the lamplight, his sleepy brown eyes drinking me in as he stretched.
"I drifted off," he explained, his voice gravelly with sleep.
I stood there, not sure what to do. My plan had been to change my sheets and fall out, but… Should I be ready to walk him downstairs? Did he want a repeat of our session? Was he?—
"C'mere," Real ordered softly.
"Huh?" I responded. Deep in my thoughts, I was caught off-guard by his words.
"Bring yo' pretty ass here, Ev."
I guess he did want to go again. He watched me as I climbed in and straddled him, working my hips in a slow circle. I leaned forward to press my lips against his jawline, but he shifted and gave me the softest, sweetest kiss. His arms went around me when he pulled back. He moved us so that we were on our sides, facing each other. He smiled at me suddenly.
”How I keep forgettin’ yo' ass got freckles?"
Oh, shit!No makeup. No mask. I should be uncomfortable as hell.Why wasn’t I uncomfortable as hell?
"Real—"
"Alexa, lights off," he said.
My room instantly plunged into darkness as he pulled me closer. Confused, I frowned when he didn't make any moves. He must have known what I was thinking.
"You got my dick hard as fuck, but you put that pussy on me again, I might end up in a coma. G'night, mama."
I froze.Good night?Was he really planning to... to sleep here?
A light snore answered my question. I could admit my body felt good pressed against his hard one, but I needed to make sure Real and I were still on the same page. Cuddling after sex wasn't about to be a habit. And he knew my sleepover policy. I lay there, mind whirling, until I couldn't fight my sleep anymore. I'd set his ass straight... later.

No, no, no!
What the fuck was happening? I stared down in shock at the arm wrapped around my waist, anchoring me to the thickly muscled body behind me. Montréal Hamilton was here, in my bed,in the morning. That fried my damn brain. First, because I remembered waking up and trying to slink my ass off to the guest room once I realized he was asleep. Second, because I didn't allow this! Not even with men as fine and commanding as Real.
He had everything out of order, from his insistence on putting his mouth on me whenever and wherever he wanted to his dominating ass snatching me out of the guest bed last night and bringing me back in here... just to hold me.I touch you where no man has—where no man will.He had no idea how true that was. Over a year of him—his mouth, his dick, his words, his actions, his style, his demeanor—and I was about to do something stupid like catch serious feelings. That had been a no-no since college, so against my rules! I moved slowly, trying to lift his brawny arm from around my waist so I could escape again. I had almost made it when he shifted suddenly, locking me against him.
"Where you goin', love?" he rasped above my head, his voice rough with sleep.
I froze for a second before words started to spill from me.
"I-I was just going to use one of the guest bathrooms so you could get in this one before you have to go. I didn't want--"
