Rachel dragged herself into her room, throwing her unopened backpack onto her chair. Falling into bed she wondered, "Why me?" Her "study session" at her cousin Jake's house, otherwise known as time to go out and kick some Yeerk ass, meant that it was now almost midnight and she hadn't started her homework. Not to mention that she was thoroughly exhausted. A slight flutter beat at her window. It was Tobias. She opened the window and let him in, then closed the window after him. He quickly morphed to human and gave her a greeting kiss. "Need some help with your homework?" he asked. "God, yes!" Rachel replied. They sat down and worked steadily for about an hour before Tobias noticed Rachel nodding off. He woke her up and smiling down at her recommended that she get to bed. It was past one. "No, no, I have to finish this essay!" she argued. "In the morning, my dear," he replied. She couldn't argue. As he lay her in her bed, her arms came around him and kept him from rising up. So he did what she wanted and lay down next to her. Staring into each others eyes, warmth spread throughout both of their bodies. Tobias pushed a stray piece of hair out of her face. "You look beautiful, as always," he said. "Mmm.you too.." Rachel replied. He took her face in his hands and kissed her, gently at first, but as Rachel responded to his subtle question, they deepened the kiss. Slowly, he opened his mouth. Hers opened tentatively and he gently moved his tongue into her mouth. Tasting her never became an old experience no matter how many times he did it. Her tongue flirter with his for a while, coming near but never touching, and then she gave in to her need and their tongues entertwined, dancing and playing all over their mouths. He was on top of her now, running his hands up and down her arms, and she underneath the t-shirt he was wearing. Her hands caressed his strong stomach muscles, his chest, his nipples, his arms, his back. He began to kiss her jaw and ears, and then realized that she had fallen asleep in his embrace. Sighing, he got off her and went to her desk to write the essay she needed done. She needed the sleep at night more than he did.
