I feel her body pressed against mine. The warmth of her breasts, and the heat radiating from her center. I never thought I’d be so close to such a powerful woman. I feel her hand reach around to my thighs, her lips pressing against my neck. The breath eases out of my lungs with a gentle sigh. Her bare skin against mine, my ass pressed into her melting core… I could die.
Her hand eased between my legs, rubbing everything she touches softly. I’ve never felt so calm and so excited at the same time. My entire being vibrates at her touch. Her other arm wraps around my torso, bracing her body against mine, as her wandering hand finds its way to me.
A gentle moan leaves her lips as her fingers slip into my center. I push her farther into me, grinding into her palm, and gripping her arm harder into my stomach.
“f**k me, Bellator.”
A growl erupts from her chest, and vibrates through my body.
Before I can take a breath I’m on my back staring into her blue-green eyes. There’s a carnal hunger behind them.
“You’re mine, Nyght. Cosmically. Fatefully. Mine.” she groans.
I feel her plunge into me. Shaking me to my soaking core.
I grab the back of her head and our lips collide. We’re shaking the bed, grinding in unison, kissing passionately and moaning softly.
Suddenly, familiar music begins to play.
Louder.
Louder.
My eyes dart open. That was a dream?!
I slam my hand against my phone in hopes I turn the alarm off. I don’t.
I hear a loud groan from the next room over, it’s Miles.
I thought she was a morning person?
_____________
“Morning, Tsuki!” She greets me with a smile.
“You’re awfully chipper for being in such a bad mood a few minutes ago.”
She raises an eyebrow.
“The groan you let out for the whole house to hear?”
Her eyes go wide.
“Oh! That! I was in the middle of a really great dream.”
“What about?”
She laughs. “Oh, nothing. It was silly,” she looks down at her coffee cup and smirks.
‘You have any interesting dreams?” she asks.
I feel my cheeks go red.
“N-no! What makes you think I even have dreams, huh?”
“Everyone dreams, Nyght.” she laughs.
I steal the coffee cup from her hands and take a sip to change the conversation.
“Excuse you, I have more coffee and mugs. But I guess you can have that one,” she chuckles.
I smile wide and take another sip.
“So what are your plans for today, Miles?”
She finishes assembling her cup of coffee, and sighs.
“Honestly, I’m not sure. I have to finish the training plan for my useless semi replacement… But other than that you’re the only thing on my to-do list.”
My eyes go wide and I feel my cheeks get hot.
She panics. “Not like that! Gods, you’re terrible!” she laughs nervously.
I smile and give a nervous laugh before I drown my embarrassment in caffeine.
“What sort of training are you going to have them do?”
I watch her think for a few seconds.
“Mostly cardio to start, then I’m thinking of having them do some weight training, but I’d have to find a safe gym in one of the human cities for that. I’d be fine if I was the one taking them, but that Alex isn’t too bright in the face of danger. But, in the mean time, lots of cardio, sparring, and low impact strength training.”
“If I knew anything about exercising I’d have a great response to that.”
I respond, and she laughs at me, making my heart flutter.
I don’t have these feelings with Miya, why am I having them with Miles? Do I not love Mi as much as I thought?
Snap out of it, Nyght...
“Anyways, what are your plans, Nyght?” Miles breaks the silence.
I think for a moment.
“Well, I should set my room fully up and catch Miya up. She’s probably going to want to meet you when it’s safe. I’m sure Alex has been bugging her.”
Just then, my phone buzzes.
Incoming Text From Aries Tsuki:
“Are you doing alright? You went ghost almost as soon as the whole Alex thing happened. Is he hurting you? I know you weren’t excited to have a mate just yet.. x”
Man, I have talked to my brother in days.
“Is it Alex?”
“No, it’s just my brother. He’s worried about me.”
“Your dad said he filled him in, why is he worried?”
“He asked if Alex is abusing me.” I laugh in an attempt to ease the stress of the question.
“He’s certainly tried.”
Her words perplex me.
“I wouldn’t say that, he’s just kind of a dick.” I slump down in my chair.
She looks me up and down, and goes back to her coffee.
“I’d be happy to meet Miya when it’s safe for you. She sounds fun,” she offers me a smile.

Miles POV
We sit together, quietly. Nyght is deep in thought, but I can’t think straight after the dream I had last night.
“f**k me, Bellator”
The words echo in my head over and over. The way the dream ended, how could I hear Nyght’s alarm in the next room over? It was louder in my dream than it was when I woke up.
I come back to earth to see Nyght looking at me.
“Welcome back, Space Cadet,” she jokes.
“How long was I gone?”
She laughs, “Longer than you should be.”
We’ve known each other for about a week now.
It feels like we’ve lived together for years, but it’s only been two days. I told Alex I’d get this training guide to him by Friday, but it’s already Thursday and I haven’t even started.
I rinse out my mug and glance over at Nyght. She’s looking at memes on her phone and finishing her coffee. Her hair is tangled and puffy, but it still falls perfectly around her face. Her face is bare, her golden eyes shimmering in the morning sun. Her eyelashes kiss her waterline like feathers floating to a still pond. I could stare at her for an eternity, I’d study every single freckle, scar, and line if I had the time. It’s like someone personified the term “drop dead gorgeous” and then set her free.
Her movement interrupts my thought.
She gets up and walks over to me, my heart races with anticipation. She comes just inches from me, smiling and staring me down.
I smile back. She reaches out. I close my eyes…
The faucet turns on.
I’m standing in front of the sink.
I open my eyes and see her beside me, washing her coffee cup.
“Dumb*ss.” I mutter.
“Did you say something?”
You were not supposed to hear that.
“No, why?”
She looks at me and shrugs.
