I open one eye and stare at the ceiling.

There it isagain.

Is that human?

A drawn-out cry vibrates through the floorboards, landing somewhere in the gray area between pain and something much more provocative. I sit up, squinting into the dark, wondering if I’m finally hallucinating from sleep deprivation.

There’s another moan, but it’s longer this time.

I rub a hand down my face and listen.

The next sound goes on and on and on and on.

Is she alright?

Is she crying for help?

There’s a beat of silence when I almost reach for my phone, but then the cries are quiet for a second, and I hear the buzzing.

No, not buzzing. That’s a goddamn engine.

Everything clicks into place.

I drop my head back against the pillow.

Fucking hell.

It’s that toy.

My dick twitches. I glare down at it in the dark.

Not helpful. Not helpful at all.

Closing my eyes, I try to focus on something else.

Paperwork.

Blood test results.

Blood. That usually does the trick.

Nope. Not tonight. Because now that I know what I’m listening to, all the blood in my body is heading south of my waist. I shift under the covers and try to adjust, but the fabric is too thin, and I’m too fucking turned on for a man who just wanted to die for six hours.

I kick the blanket off and throw my legs over the edge of the bed.

This is ridiculous.

I pull on sweats and trainers, but when I get to myfront door, I force myself to breathe. She’s going to stop any second. She has to.

Her cries reach an ear-piercing pitch, and my cock throbs in a frantic, demanding rhythm. I look down at my crotch. “Stop that.”

With one final, jagged moan, the sound fades into blissful silence.

Thank fu—

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

I look down at the floor and shout, “You’re going to blow your back out!”
