My thighs sore in that yep, he ruined me way, and my lips are still swollen from all the kissing. The sheets smell like him, that faint forest scent that’s always clinging to him, to us.

Forever, maybe. He catches me staring. Of course he does. His eyes c***k open, lazy and sharp all at once. “Enjoying the view huh, little flower?” H
