Restoration [Shawn Mendes] AU

Chapter 48

By the middle of March, Michelle and Shawn were deep into their coursework and most of their time was spent in elective classes, in studio, researching and writing thesis papers, arranging portfolios and preparing for frequent peer and instructor critiques as part of working toward their culminating senior projects. They found very little time to see each other during the week except when they had Writing Approaches together on Tuesdays and Thursdays and once in awhile, one would pick up dinner to bring to the other just to spend an hour to talk and catch up with each other. They also made time to be together on weekends, but both were so physically and mentally exhausted they'd wind up falling asleep on the sofa or bed after watching a movie. Even spending the night together wasn't a certainty if Shawn had to pull another all-nighter at the studio to get his work completed. The frustration of not being able to spend as much time together as they wished definitely compounded the sexual tension between them, which was somewhat of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it was difficult to not have the intimacy they desired, as frequently as they wanted to, but on the other hand, when they did finally find time to reconnect, the sex was absolutely mind-blowing from not being intimate as often. After one particularly frustrating week, Michelle couldn't stop tossing and turning in bed unable to fall asleep, finally texting Shawn after 2AM one Friday morning knowing he was still at the studio, but missing him terribly.

Michelle: Sparky?

Shawn: Yeah baby?

Michelle: I miss you.

Shawn: I miss you too honey.

Michelle: I mean I REALLY miss you.

Shawn: How much?

Michelle: I need you.

Shawn: You need me?

Michelle: Yeah, every inch of you.

Shawn: Do you mean what I think you mean?

Michelle: You know exactly what I mean.

Shawn: Jesus you drive me crazy.

Michelle: I need you ASAP, so either you drive here or I drive there.

Shawn: What?

Michelle: Either come here or I'm driving to the parking lot of the studio and we'll do it in the car. Shawn I NEED you so I can fall asleep.

Shawn: Holy fuck Chelle. Ok...give me 10 min. I'll be there.

Michelle: Alright Sparky, the door is unlocked and I'm naked in bed.

Shawn: Don't move. I'm coming.

Michelle: Oh trust me, you will be and so will I.

By the time Shawn quickly straightened up his workspace and made his way to the Jeep, he was already anticipating how good Michelle was going to feel wrapped in his arms for an impromptu late night lovemaking session. She continuously surprised him sexually and her libido was always simmering. As he pulled into the parking lot and hurried into her building to make his way to her loft, he was already hard. He'd taken off his jacket before he even made it to her door and as he walked inside and locked the door behind him, he was kicking off his sneakers and peeling off clothing all the way down the entry hallway so he was completely naked by the time he walked into her bedroom.
