I frown.

This is not going according to plan.

Wouldn’t a few orgasms help with her cramps?

I feel pretty helpless on how to make her feel better, which I hate.

“You’re like a heater,” she grumbles, kicking off the blanket. “It’s finally cooling off outside. How can it be so hot in here?”

“Sorry, baby doll. It’s always hotter when the bus isn’t moving,” I say softly. “I have no idea why, but it’s universally true. Want me to open a window?” I’ve already adjusted the vents to blow directly toward her.

The strange part is that I’m not hot at all.

“No, it’s okay.” She grabs my hand, brings it up to rest on her stomach, and links our fingers.

Well, I guess she wasn’t interested in pre-bed orgasms.

“I owe you an apology for how snappy I’ve been today.” She cuddles back into my chest. It makes her ass grind over my cock, and I remind my dick this is a non-sexual cuddle. “I haven’t felt great, but that’s not your fault. I’ll try to be less crazy tomorrow.”

“Oh, Lulu. I live for the crazy.” I chuckle, leaning up enough that I can see the side of her face. “Throw that shit at me anytime.”

It’s true too.

She’s hot, even when she’s moody.

I’m one of those people who likes a little attitude from someone I’m fucking.

I wouldn’t be with anyone who’s cruel enough to trigger my RSD, but I can already tell Lumen wouldn’t be the type to go for the jugular.

“Just be ready for me to toss your sexy little ass over my shoulder and take you somewhere private to fuck the attitude right out of you next time,” I say, chuckling. “You can yell at me the entire time. I promise, I’m into it.”

“Malcolm, I need you to know that’s kinda weird.” She laughs. “Kinda hot too.”

“Nah, it’s all the way hot.” I kiss her cheek. “Have a good night, baby doll. I hope you feel better tomorrow.”

“Thanks, Mal. Have a good night.”

I settle behind her, burying my nose in her hair. I probably shouldn’t have tried my luck with giving her an orgasm. My original plan was to keep tonight to only cuddling. Once I saw that was what she needed, I ducked and weaved.

Look at me, out here farming good boyfriend points.

I’m going to lock her moody, sexy little ass down before she knows it.

Chapter Thirty-Six

Lumen

Iwake up to Riser leaning over me as he brushes my hair back from my face.

“Hey, sleepyhead.” He grins, running his thumb along my jaw. “It’s a few minutes before noon. I thought you might want some time to wake up before we get moving.”

I smile back.

That was very thoughtful, and I appreciate how tenderly he woke me.

“Thank you,” I say, my voice coming out raspy and lined with sleep.

“Are you hungry? I think I’m going to order food from the catering truck.”
