Cora is sitting there with the blanket pulled up to her chin but the look on her face says that she is anything but cold. I knew she was watching me earlier and nothing made me happier than to know that she was just as interested in me physically as well as personality-wise. To most, she may seem like your average girl with flame-red hair, but to me and that moron Michael she is anything but plain. Those doe eyes of hers make me feel like she can see straight into my soul. I catch myself almost shivering when she looks at me for long amounts of time.
I have tried my hardest to not come off as a sexually frustrated idiot around her but to be honest it is getting harder to not make a move on her. I know that she was saving herself for her mate, a name which I still have no idea why we use it. I also know that she was tempted to give her first time away to that man. All of this leads me to have no clue what she wants right now.

CoraThe next morning I found myself waking up surrounded by warmth. There was an arm wrapped tightly around my waist and I was laying on top of Thomas. I mean literally on top of I’m. My face was pressed into his neck as he held me as close to him as possible. I took a moment to just soak in the feeling of this. I know that I am falling in love with him fast. The beat of his heart is giving me a calming sensation that I have never known. He is my peace.“So how long do you plan to lay on me and tempt me?” I feel him adjusting under me and that is when I notice that he is very excited to be beneath me. I lift my head and look him in the eyes knowing that I am blushing but I want to move past that. I roll my hips slightly and kiss him on his neck.“I think I am ready to move now that I got to feel you.” I giggle and jump up before he has the chance to hold me still. I turn and look as see his face is one of lust and loss. I smile and

CoraBy the end of Rebecca’s course in “love,” I was as red as humanly possible. She covered everything from A to Z and to be honest there was a lot to learn. No one in my life has ever been that open with me about what sex is and how it relates to love. I learned that sex without love is something that I am glad I never experienced. The way she describes her and Elliot’s love life made me see that I did make the right choice in not sleeping with someone just for the sake of getting to choose who it was.“Rebecca I know I may look super embarrassed, which I am, but thank you for talking to me. I grew up with two wildly different sets of couples in my life. The sad thing is that neither talked about that part of life with me.” She looks at me with a soft look in her eyes, like one a big sister would give to the younger sister when she is giving advice.“I will always be here for you Cora. In a little over a day, you have

ThomasFrom the look on her face, I have no idea what to say. She gives nothing away in her gaze. Is she pissed, hurt or is she in shock? I go to wipe the lipstick off my cheek and see that it isn’t wanting to come off. I start to panic as Elliot and Rebecca walk into the room. They both stop and look from me to Cora who is standing still and with no expression on her face. My panic starts to rise even more when I suddenly hear a giggle. I turn and look at Cora who is starting to bend over at the waist laughing.“I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it in anymore.” She keeps laughing and I see Rebecca is doing the same. Elliot looks at them and then looks at me in the silent question of what in the world is going on.“Wait your not mad at me?” I ask finally getting most of the lipstick from hell off my face.“No. Why would I be?” She tries to dry the tears she has from laughing so hard.“Well maybe because someone else kissed me and I didn’t tell you.” I can feel

Cora“Well Thomas, I am all yours. What are you going to do with me?”As soon as the question left my lips the smirk came back to his face. He was enjoying the show and he had every intention of claiming his prize. He took his fingers and placed them in the waistband of his briefs and pulled them down. What I saw was the most amazing sight I have ever seen in my whole life.This man could only be described as a man built to be the image of what a god should look like. His body was muscled hard everywhere you looked. I took in his body from top to bottom. I make my way down until I see the impressive length that is standing at full attention. I will be honest that I don’t have much to compare it to but I have accidentally seen a few over the years and I have to say I have never seen anything like this. I study him as if he were a statue on display for my personal viewing. He was long and wide with pulsing veins showing the train that he was unde

CoraI awake the next morning to the sunlight peeking its way through the curtains. I feel Thomas’s heat wrapped around me like I am a butterfly in a cocoon. His shallow breathes hit the back of my head and I smile to myself knowing that he is exhausted from last night.I look over at the clock to see that it is past ten in the morning and find myself panicking thinking that we have overslept and are going to be late. I turn in his arms and try to wake him.“Thomas. Thomas. We are late. Please wake up.” I feel him stir and I can tell that he is fighting to go back to sleep. I continue my assault on him to wake up when I notice that he is grinning that mischievous grin that he sometimes gets. This man is enjoying man panic!I start to pull myself from his arms when he wraps them tighter around me and chuckles. His eyes open and I see the sparkle in them showing that he is having fun at my expense.“Baby it’s the weekend

ThomasAfter hours of debating the plan finally fell into place. Cora and I are to continue to lead on Michael and Megan getting them to trust us as much as possible before we leave for our trip. The problem is going to be keeping them from trying to get to physical. I know that I can handle myself but I am worried that Michael may get too rough on Cora. The man has some issues with losing and I think that is exactly what he thinks is happening with Cora. He wants to win and she is the ticket for him to do just that.We currently have three days until we leave for our trip. Cora and Rebecca are finishing up with gathering up all the information that we will need to start finding out what is going on in the villages. Elliot is working on making sure we have all sorts of tech that will help us to gather and record what is happening so that I can once and for all change what is happing in this world.I am sitting at my desk when my door opens and Megan walks in.

ThomasThe last couple of days at headquarters went quickly and both Cora and I both managed to stay out of the path of Michael and Megan. This morning we are leaving for our first visit to village number one. At the beginning of his control, my grandfather thought it best to not name the new villages. So many were dealing with the shock of what happened to our world that he thought it best to have a fresh start.Throughout my childhood, I would often hear stories about how he led the people to peace and stability. There were never any real in-depth details given but they always gave an overview of what happened. I am hoping that in seeing these villages and speaking with the leaders there, I will be able to uncover some of what happened in the past.“So what is the plan once we arrive?” Rebecca asks.“First we’ll head to the hotel and get you guys settled in. Until we know how the leaders feel about women, we need to keep you too

ThomasAs Elliot walks into the office he gives me a look that asks what in the world is going on. I motion for him to sit down and Alfred hands him a glass of whiskey.“So Alfred here has told me some interesting information. He may be just the person we need to be able to finally give us the information that will help us to the answers we need.” Elliot looks surprised at this but there is also a twinkle in his eyes showing that he is excited at the prospect of answers.Alfred recounts everything that he told me and Elliot is eating it up. The tech talk that the two get into is mind-blowing for me. I always knew that Elliot was amazing with this stuff but I had no idea that he had studied it so much. As they finish their talk I know that it is time for Alfred to give us his information.“Here are some copies of all of the files you wanted as well as some copies of everything that I have gathered. I can’t pinpoint exactly who sent
