Chapter 21

Chiron kept his other promise. He quickly learned the art of lovemaking, and I labeled him an expert by round six at four in the morning. Completely exhausted and spent, Chiron and I lay on the bed, still naked and in love; I couldn't help but worry if this was the calm before the storm.

He lifted his hand and smoothed out my furrowed brows, "I guess I'm not doing a good job satisfying my woman."

I blinked sleepily at him and grinned, "Oh, you've done a banging job, Chiron. 10/10. A+ worthy."

He grinned, pulling my face to his, and kissed me. After a while, he pulled away and sighed, "Let's communicate. Tell me what's bothering you."

I stared at him momentarily before shaking my head, a small smile on my lips. "It's nothing, I promise. I'm just so happy."

He looked at me with such devotion and nodded, "I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep you happy." He said, tucking loose strands of my hair behind my ear. "I love you so much."

I snuggled against him, his arms wrapping around me like an added blanket. I breathed in his comforting smell and sighed happily, "With you? Nothing can make me unhappy, Chiron."

Chiron had to go to work the next day, so he dropped me off at my place. As soon as Chiron drove off, Adeline rounded at me, her eyes wide and her grin wicked. "You fucked him, didn't you?"

I blushed, turning around and walking into my room. "Wow, Adeline! I've missed you too!"

"Bitch please," She rolled her eyes and winked, "What are we, teenagers who think sex is such a taboo thing to talk about?"

I flipped her off, "Tell me what's happening between you and Ethan first, and then I'll spill."

She stopped abruptly, a scowl forming as she glared at me. I grinned back, knowing I won this round. After a few seconds, she rolled her eyes again with a sigh and laughed.

"Was your trip fun, at least?" She asked, watching as I unloaded my luggage. I had shoved the contents of the boxes my mom had given me, and I was concerned the zippers would have popped off.

"For the most part," I admitted. Though I wasn't inclined to talk about my sex life with her, I told her everything that went down between me and my parents. I even told her how we ran into Chiron's dad and how well that went.

"Damn," She muttered, concern flashing her features after I finished. "I'm sorry that happened to you guys. But I'm glad things worked out how they should have."

After an hour of talking about my trip and her talking about how she had friends over almost every day, she headed out for work and left me alone to continue focusing on my tasks. After unpacking, I created a pile of miscellaneous things I needed to go through from California: clothes that no longer fit me, gifts from Tristian that needed to be burned, and a few folders with random papers, which I assumed were my old assignments from school.

After a while, I felt my phone vibrate and perked up at seeing Chiron's name.

Chiron: Hey, beautiful Rose

Me: Hey, my love. How's work?

Chiron: Boring. The girl I have a massive crush on isn't here today :'(

Me: Damn, that sucks lol you probably didn't give her enough hot chocolate or chocolate croissants, haha

Chiron: I'll give her more of my annoying dick instead since it's something she's always mentioned ;P
