I come for what feels like hours, and when I’m finally finished, I slump down on the couch, bringing Sophie with me, cuddling her against me so her back is pressed tightly to my chest, my arm wrapped around her front, securing her to me.
“Pretty girl,” I murmur, pressing kisses to her shoulder, dragging the blanket up to cover us both when she shivers. “Give me a minute for my soul to return to my body and then I’m going to take care of you. That was a lot. You need water. And food. And one of my T-shirts and snuggles in my bed. I wanna hold you all night long.”
“That sounds perfect, but no rush on any of it.” She sighs, melting back against me, her arm coming up to cover my own. “And that was everything. I’m pretty sure I’ve lost the ability to walk. Or move. Or do anything but lay here and ponder the best sex of my entire life.”
Chuckling, I flick her bracelets and link my finger with hers under the blanket. “Just of your life? Baby, that was the best sex anyone has ever had ever.”
“You were right,” she says, her words a little slurred, as if sleep is taking her under. “We are fire together.”
“We sure are,” I say with a smile, kissing her neck and stroking a hand up and down her side as her eyes drop closed, her breathing turning slow and even. “Sleep, Soph. I’ll carry you upstairs later.”
“You are my favorite human,” she says, so quietly I can barely hear her. “Love you.”
“Oh, baby,” I murmur, tightening my arm around her, burying my face in her hair. “I love you, too. So, so much.”
And with my girl in my arms, the fire warming us both, I settle in for a while, sending up a plea to the universe to keep Sophie with me, and for as many more nights as I can get, just like this.

Tyler can’t come to the phone right now. You have killed him extremely dead with your hotness.
Me
It’s just a suit.
Tyler
Just a suit? You’re kidding me, right? That suit is giving such hot teacher vibes I think I’m going to die.
Why aren’t you here right now so I can peel it right off you?
Me
Okay fine, yeah, it’s fucking hot. And it matches my hair tinsel, which delights me.
It also makes me feel like I could lift a car or something.
My mom swears by a pink power suit, and it turns out she is one hundred percent correct.
