LOGINEvelynI walk from the bathroom to my dresser in my usual state of undress. This time, I have my recent shower to blame.Emma worked me hard when we trained this morning. She kept teasing me that I’m getting soft spending so much time in her brother’s bed instead of on the mat.I pointed out that it
EvelynI couldn’t say how many days it’s been. All I know is that my wound is healed, and I got the sign off from Dr. Zorinski to be more active.Alexander and I have certainly been taking advantage of that.I wake up like I have been every morning: Alexander and I snuggling, one of us hard, the oth

EvelynDespite the generous batch of serotonin Alexander gave me by fucking me senseless not twenty minutes ago, my mood is taking a sharp nosedive as I face the reality of finding him someone to replace me. It’s a depressing reminder that I need to get out of here anyway.I try to be subtle about t
“Alexander?”“Yes?”I smile, leaning into the warm spray. “Care to join me?”It’s reckless how much I’m allowing us to have sex. How much I’m giving in to the mate bond. He just feels so good though.When push comes to shove, I’m sure I’ll be able to overlook great sex to get back home. After all, A
