Chapter Nineteen

Casey

We drank the bottle of wine curled up under one of my new throw blankets on the couch. We weren’t cold, but the blanket was cozy especially since neither of us were wearing any clothes.

“Does the place feel lived in yet?” Toby grinned, pulling me back against his chest.

“Uh, yeah. Just a little.” I looked around at my new apartment. I still didn’t quite believe the place was all mine. Floor to ceiling windows gave us a perfect view of Central Park. It was the kind of apartment I’d dreamed about as a teen but never in a million years thought I’d live in.

“I don’t think I could ever get enough of you.”

“Yeah. I can kind of tell.” I could feel how hard and ready he was. I wondered if he’d ever be fully sated. I wasn’t sure whether I wanted him to be.

He brushed his lips against my ear. “I’d say I’m sorry about that, but I’m not.”

“We need to talk first.”

“About?” He settled back.

“You know what, but we need to get dressed beforehand.”

“Why? I like you dressed just the way you are, especially when you’re in my arms.”

I pulled away, and stood up, unconcerned that without the blanket, I was completely exposed. “Because I’m not talking about my family while naked. I’d also love if you would put on some underwear too.”

“You’re no fun.” He stood up, giving me a full frontal view of his body. He was aroused and just as gorgeous as always. I tossed his boxers at him, knowing I’d change my mind if he didn’t get covered up soon. I was beginning to understand that the Pteron side of me was sexually charged. Jared had brought it out before I transformed, and it hadn’t stopped. Things weren’t quite as out of control with Toby, but they were better. We were more equals, and the emotional part matched the physical. Sex was way better that way.

“That’s not what you were saying a little while ago.” I pulled on his t-shirt. I figured I didn’t need to get completely dressed.

Toby watched me as he slid into his boxers. “Do you want another glass of wine?”

“Quit stalling, Toby.”

“Okay. Let’s talk.” He settled back down on the couch, and I joined him. I pulled my legs up underneath me and turned myself so I was looking right at him. “I had a little chat with your cousin.”

“What?” I shot up off the couch, crushing Toby’s leg in the process.

He seemed unconcerned with his leg, but very concerned with my reaction. “He won’t remember the chat though.”

“What do you mean?” I struggled to keep my voice calm. “What did you do to Rhett?”

“He’s fine. Nelly just erased his—”

“Nelly! You subjected my cousin to that bit—” I stopped myself before I could say the word I really wanted to.

“She’s paying me back for the hell she put us through. It was necessary. I’m trying to be completely honest with you. I could have left this part out, but I want it all out on the table.
