💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Walter Marshall; Grumpy/Sunshine; Omegaverse; Fluff. I hope you like it!

+++++++

Walter grunts as he sees you're watching Supernatural again. He sits next to you in the little nest you've made on the couch before grabbing the remote and changing the channel. “Alpha,” you whine. “I was watching that!” “You've watched every episode time and time again,” he grumbles. “You could probably close your eyes and watch it from memory.” “It's my comfort show,” you pout. “You don't need to be watching some dumb Winchester for comfort. You've got me.” “Walter, are you jealous?” Your tone goes from whiny to giggly as you watch his jaw clench. “No,” he replies flatly. “I think you are,” you smirk. “You don't want your Omega looking anywhere but you.” Walter curses under his breath and you sidle up to him. “You know you're my Alpha. You don't have to worry about losing me.” “I'm not worried about that, Lulu,” Walter argues. “Then what's got you so worked up?” When he doesn't immediately respond you move so you're straddling him. “Alpha, I need you to talk to me.” You start nuzzling your mark on his mating gland. Trying to get your grumpy Alpha to open up is no easy task but you've been working on it with him. Walter inhales your scent, taking a deep breath. “I want to be the source of comfort for you. I know I can't be the only source and that bothers me. I want to be everything you need and I know I can't.” You reward Walter's honesty and opening up with a small trill that makes him smile a little. You take his hand in both of your hands so he has to look you in the eyes, “you are my Alpha which means you are my everything. You can actually do things for me whereas the guys in the show can only entertain. You are the best Alpha, ever, and I'm very lucky you're mine.” Walter's shoulders sag a little in relief. He knows he's damn lucky to have such a wonderful, understanding, amazing, giggly Omega as you and he's never letting you go.

OMG! I can't tell you how much I loved this bouquet. You even put my fav show into the story.😭😭😭 *these are happy tears*

Walter is all grumpy because he's jealous. In truth, he's so sweet and only wants him to be the source of comfort. I'm in awe of this story. I love big grumpy Walter so much. <3<3<3<3

Thank you so much for writing this for me. 🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘

As requested, Jonathan Pine; Fake Dating; CEO/Corporate; Fluff. I hope you like!

+++++

“Ms. Alice,” Pine calls to you from his desk, getting your attention. “May I have a word?”

“Be right there, Mr. Pine,” you call back. Your nerves light up, unsure if you're in trouble. Has there been a problem with your work? What if he's learned about your crush on him and needs to tell you to stop? You timidly approach and he gives you that dashing smile that always makes your heart flutter.

“Alice, I'm afraid I must ask a favor of you,” he begins, his own nerves showing through. “It might not be entirely appropriate, so please feel free to say no. You are under no obligation to agree.” You nod, curious about the favor. “My mother is worried that I've been overworking and not being social enough. I was wondering if you might be willing to...pose as my girlfriend at a party she's hosting?” Your eyes widen in surprise and he's quick to add, “again, you are under no obligation to say 'yes'. I will absolutely understand if it's too improper.”

“Why not hire a professional or something,” you ask.

“I prefer someone I have actual history with,” he confesses. “To help make it feel more real.”

“Yes. I'll do it Mr. Pine,” you smile at him.

He takes your hand and kisses it, “Jonathan, my dear Alice. You are a lifesaver.”

As you go back to your desk, thinking that maybe this could be your chance for something more, you don't know that he's watching you and thinking the same thing.

Ooooooh Jonathan is taking me on a « date ��. I guess posing as his girlfriend would mean some sort of…PDA 😏 and maybe I would get a real good night kiss after the party 🤭

It was very sweet, I loved it. Such a joy to wake up on Monday morning and read this before going to work ! Thank you so much ☺️ Enjoy your off week ❤️

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Curtis Everett; Grumpy/Sunshine; Bookstore; Fluff. I hope you like it!

++++++

"Ok, Curtis, divide and conquer!" Curtis rolls his eyes at your enthusiasm. "Don't give me that," you gently scold. "We've got gifts to get and a limited time to get them! You go ahead and get the romance books on the list, I'm gonna get go and get the kids books!"

"Please let me trade," he grumbles. "Ladies in the romance section always give me looks."

"Nope, because I'm also hoping to find some childhood favorites to add to our library." You smile and run off before he can argue some more.

You lose track of time as you look for the exact Bluey book your nephew asked for. No matter how hard you tried you kept getting distracted by the books you used to read at that age.

You're kneeling down to look for more of the books on your list when you hear someone behind you, "well aren't you just a peach."

You roll your eyes and try to ignore him.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing in this section? Got some kids at home?"

You pretend to read the book you've selected but this guy just can't take a hint.

"Now listen here," he starts getting louder. "I'm trying to talk to you. The least you can do is acknowledge--"

The man gets cut off and you smile to yourself, guessing the reason for the sudden quiet.

"She's not interested," Curtis's voice is gruff.

"And what makes you think she's interested in you?"

That's your cue to stand up, "hi, Sweetie!" You kiss his cheek, his glare never leaving the jackass. "Did you get all the books on the list?"

"Yes."

"Then let's get out of here, Babe."

"Right behind you, Angel."

You go to the checkout but Curtis keeps an eye on the guy. You giggle but thank him with a kiss, making him drop his glare so he can give you one of those love filled looks that makes you melt.

"Thanks for keeping me safe."

"Forever and a day."

This was PERFECT LOVE LOVE LOVE. Doberman boyfriend Curtis for the win 😍😍😍😍

I can’t stop thinking about this giant man in the romance section absolutely towering over the shelves with Icebreaker or something in his huge hand (I mean who even reads that filth?)

Everyone pretty please go check out @thezombieprostitute and their amazing writing and congrats again 🎉🎉

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Bucky Barnes; Grumpy/Sunshine; Bookstore; Fluff. Hope you like!

++++++

As you get out of the car you comment on the new bookstore that opened near the grocery store. Bucky picks up on your feigned surprise.

"We're just grocery shopping," he complains. "We're only getting what's on the list."

You giggle, "check the list."

He gives you a glare but it just makes you giggle more. Unlocking his phone he looks over the grocery list and finds you've added several books to it. He gives you a look of false hurt, "how could you trick me?" Your laugh almost gets him to smile. "We don't have time for the bookstore," he counters. "We're just getting groceries."

"You could always get the groceries while I go to the bookstore."

"Not a chance. Last time I left you alone in a bookstore you bought so many I almost broke my arm trying to carry them all!"

"You should've used your metal arm," you pout.

"I did!"

You keep pouting at Bucky, giving him those sad puppy eyes you know he can't resist. He tries looking away but he can still feel them.

"Fine," he sighs. "Let's go get the books." You cheer and give him a big kiss. "But you owe me, Navy."

You wink at him, "I know."

@thezombieprostitute , a sweet lovely requested this for me? 😍 I would abso-fucking-lutely add books to the shopping list. And I would pout and give him puppy eyes until that grump grump gave in. And, of course, I would owe him. 😏

I would owe him all night long. 😌

Love and thanks for this wonderful gift! ❤️

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Ari Levinson; Grumpy/Sunshine; Omegaverse; Smut. Hope you like!

++++++

"I don't get why you're so interested in that comic book character when I'm right here," Ari grumbles. 

"Because it's his birthday," you retort with a smile. 

"He's not even real."

"Which is why I'm not buying him presents. I'm just sharing stories about him with my online friends."

Ari huffs. This close to his rut he tends to get very needy and grumpy. The fact that you're spending more time talking about Captain America than you are taking care of your Alpha is making him even more of a grump. 

Your in the middle of reading when you giggle on a way that really sets him off. That's the giggle you make when he's on top of you and kissing you all over. He stands behind you and growls, making you freeze. From his scent you can tell his rut has just kicked in. 

He grabs you from your seat and carries you to your nest. As soon as you're on the mattress he's all over you. Kissing, nipping, kneading, licking, tearing your clothes. You're so wet and ready for him before he's really gotten started. 

"My Omega," he growls. "You only make those pretty noises for me."

"Yes, Alpha," you moan. You might have to get your grumpy Alpha riled up more often.

Ahhh thank you so much 💐 Alpha Ari always gets me so feral 🥵

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Steve Rogers; Idiots in Love; Soulmate; Fluff. Hope you enjoy!

+++++

"I can do this," you tell yourself in the mirror. "I can do this. I can finally talk to him."

You've had a crush on the cute, burly blond at the bakery for forever. But every time you got the chance to speak to him, you froze up. What if the words you said weren't the words in his soulmate tattoo? What if they were?! You so badly wanted to talk to him but you'd always end up chickening out. Just pointing to the baked goods you wanted to buy.

It's not like he talked to you, either. Whenever you show up, one of his buddies ends up taking the front counter. Part of you hopes it's because he's as shy a you. Another part worries it's because he doesn't want to find out your soulmates.

Steve sees you the moment you walk in. He's been trying to hype himself up to finally talk to you. He swears he's not gonna ask Bucky or Sam to take care of you this time. But what if he says the wrong words? What if you always clam up around him because you didn't want to risk being his soulmate?

Bucky and Sam give Steve some encouragement before shoving him up to the front counter where you're headed.

You keep your eyes on his as you walk up, but you're so focused on building up the nerve to talk to him that you miss the floorboard that's slightly higher than the others. You end up tripping but miraculously manage to catch yourself. Looking up you ask Steve, "you didn't see that, right?"

Steve blushes as he hears those words, the same ones tattooed on his chest. All he can think to say, "so long as you're ok, no I didn't see anything."

Your eyes widen in surprise. "Those are my words," you whisper.

Steve smiles, relief all over his face. "And you said mine as well."

The two of you fall into a fit of giggles, relieved to finally be talking. Happy to have found each other.

What's happening??? 🥺 This for me? 🥺😍

LOOK AT THEM BABIES, PINING. And having the cutest soulmate "meet-cute" (speak-cute) AT LAST.

Honestly the reader is so me, I would absolutely tripped. But for our Stevie boy, I'd fall. So it's only fair 🥰

Thank you so much for this 💕😘 Sending love!!

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Ransom Drysdale; Fake Dating; CEO/Corporate; Fluff. Hope you like!

+++++++

You take a deep breath and steel yourself for what you're about to do. He's literally the last person you would ever ask to help you. You've asked everyone else who could help you and they couldn't. So now you're standing in front of Drysdale's office, getting ready to knock on the door.

As you raise your hand to knock you hear from behind the door, "come in, Lexi. I know you're out there."

You let out an exasperate sigh before opening the door. "Mr. Drysdale," you say upon entering.

"Lexi," he intones. "Good of you to remember your place as the help." Other executives could call him Ransom but, as his secretary, you had to call him Mr. Drysdale. He really liked rubbing in how beneath him you are.

"Mr. Drysdale, I," you take a breath to steady yourself. "I need to ask a favor of you."

"I thought you'd never ask," he grins. "Honestly it's about time you asked me to buy you better clothes."

"No, Mr. Drysdale, that's not what I'm asking." You sigh. He raises an eyebrow quizzically. "I...I need you to help me convince my parents that I'm dating someone." His eyebrows shoot up in surprise. "You don't have to be the fake date," you're quick to say. "Just, back me up if I tell them I'm busy with a date or something."

"Do you have a script?"

"Not exactly," you confess as heat rushes to your face. "They're going to be at The Cairo Hotel, same place as your convention next week. When I talk to them you can come up and say you thought I was with my boyfriend."

"Why do you need this?"

"Because otherwise they'll continue trying to set me up with people even more annoying than you. I think you actually know Charles Blackwood."

Ransom gives you a sympathetic wince. "Ok, I'll do the fake dating thing. But you're going to have to do a similar thing for me. Linda is insistent on me settling down "with a good girl" but I have no interest."

"Deal. And thank you, again, Mr. Drysdale."

As you walk out, Ransom grins a devious grin. When he sees you talking to your parents he'll unabashedly smack that gorgeous ass of yours and give you a kiss to those lips he's been aching for. He's been wanting you for some time now and the perfect opportunity to express that has been handed to him. By you, no less. Oh yes, he's gonna have fun.

One-thousand eye-rolls later...

Ohhhhhhh, let me have 'im, fluffy lil sh*tbag that he is.

😍🤭😝

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Jake Jensen; Friends to Lovers; Omegaverse; Smut. Hope you enjoy!

++++++++

The work party was going about as well as expected. You and Jake opted to spend your time playing on the Nintendo Switch he'd snuck in. Neither of you cared for the crowds and the drinking in general but Jake was also getting close to his rut and wanted to avoid people.

As a Beta you couldn't really relate to the problems of a heat/rut cycle but you did understand Jake's beforehand pain. His natural Alpha scent would start to come out attracting a lot of ladies but as soon as they learned Jake was the source, they quickly excused themselves and kept even further away.

As someone who has had similar luck, similar "let's just be friends" and "I just don't think of you like that" responses, you could understand why he wanted to just lay low.

So the two of you agreed to spend the party playing Switch untill time to go home. Or you would have if August hadn't shown up, reeking of alcohol, looking for you.

"Peyton," he barks. "Been looking for you. Wanna take you up to my office for some fun."

You wrinkle your nose, "Mr. Walker, you're very obviously drunk. You should probably call a cab and go home."

"You should be grateful to get my attention," he glowers. "Fucking uppity Beta bitch--"

Faster than you can register Jake has punched August in the face and is snarling at him. You're almost overwhelmed by the protective Alpha pheromones coming from him. August tries to strike back but Jake is too quick, too strong. He practically chases August out but you stop him with a hand on his shoulder.

At your touch, Jake calms down considerably but he brings you in for a full body hug, his nose against your scent gland. You swear you hear him say, "mine" but it's too muffled.

"Jake?"

He suddenly stops and seems to come to his senses. He moves away, "I'm sorry! So sorry! I didn't mean to overstep!"

"Jake," you take his face in your hands, making him look at you. "It's ok. I liked it."

"Yeah?" His cheeks are turning pink and it's adorable.

"Wanna do more than just hugs?"

You hear Jake's growl before feeling him pull you in for the most intense kiss you've ever experienced. His hands are all over you and you lean into his touch. You can feel how hard he's getting and you grind against his erection, making him go even more wild

Jake's pheromones are starting to go crazy and you're worried he's gonna hit his rut here at the office. You finally pull away long enough to tell him to take you home.

"Gonna take you home. Gonna fuck you senseless. Gonna make you mine," he promises between kisses. "Should've done it ages ago."

"Guess you'll have to make up for lost time," you tease.

Oh oh my! @thezombieprostitute ! This is fantastic. I love this so much. Thank you!!! I love it. Jakey, my sweet Jakey. As well as him giving August Walker a beating. I will never tire of seeing august get a thrashing.

Omg I love it thank you.

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Lloyd Hansen; Forced Proximity; Mafia; Soft dark. Hope you like!

++++++

You swear you'll never get used to the looks you get when you're on Lloyd's arm. Some people look at you with jealousy. Some with pity. Everyone recognizes the large, ruthless mob boss. When you're next to him you look even more tiny than you feel. The people who see you figure you're either a victim or a floozy.

You try to ignore all of them, but it doesn't always work. It's one of the reasons you're genuinely grateful Lloyd got a private booth for the two of you. His larger size means the table has to be moved so you're practically pinned to your seat, but it's better than the looks.

The menu is delightfully full of vegan and vegetarian options. Lloyd is a complete carnivore but he's never tried controlling your diet. At least not after you finally "agreed" to be his.

You both put in your orders and are left alone in the small booth.

Lloyd smirks as you fidget. "You could just sit on my lap, Roo. Keep my cock warm while we eat."

"This booth is too... Small." You almost said "tight" but switched it out for a word Lloyd would be less likely to be turned on by.

"I was watching your pilates routine on the security footage," he leers. "You can fit." You suppress a shudder as he licks his lips.

Lolll not the pilates! My downward facing dog can't save me from this one.

Thank you so so much for this one :)

Just a quick note: I'm no longer accepting requests for the Bouquets.

I've received 52 requests and written for 40 of them! I'm a little impressed with myself.

There will be a masterlist posted later with links to all the bouquets for those who are interested.

My sincere thanks to everyone for encouraging me and my weird ways! You are amazing, kind people and I'm so happy to be accepted by you!

As requested: Jake Jensen; Secret Dating; Academia; Smut; And maybe a lil fluffy too. I hope you like it!

+++++

“Jake, we gotta be careful,” you whisper. “People are starting to wonder.”

“I know, Poppy,” Jake acquiesces. “But I need you.” His lips are all over you as his hands undo the buttons on your blouse. “Saw you studying so hard and need a taste.”

“I could be doing anything and you'd want a taste,” you giggle. “But here? In the library?”

“Last place they'd expect,” he replies, his voice hoarse with neediness. He starts licking your nipples and you have to slap a hand over your mouth to keep your moans contained.

In a small town community college, word spreads fast. And if your parents knew you were dating instead of studying they'd kick you out. But damn if Jake wasn't worth the risk. Not just because of his skilled tongue and hands, either. He made you feel good physically and emotionally. He wanted to be there for you. He was always grateful when you made time for him.

His hand goes down the front of your pants, “feel free to bite my shoulder if you need, Poppy.”

WHO REQUESTED THIS FOR ME I JUST WANNA KISS YOU ON THE MOUTH 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

no but seriously, i was gonna send in a request to celebrate but i am so emotionally and mentally and physically exhausted and i couldn’t get my brain to work and think of anything yet, so this is such a nice (hot sexy spicy tummy swooping) way to greet my morning. i have missed my jakey baby lately and i didn’t even realize it. to whoever did this, from the bottom of my heart, i love you forever and ever amen 🥺♥️

and zombie!!!!!!! babe… this was so few words, but it had me swept away immediately. you’re incredibly talented and i’m so happy to see you getting some very much deserved recognition! congrats on 500 followers!! and thank you for writing this 🥹

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

As requested:Jakey or Ari; Idiots in Love; Mafia; Smut. Hope you enjoy!

+++++++

“Mmm, Essie,” Ari moans as he kisses you. “You shoulda told me how you felt ages ago. Shouldn't have taken a shoot out for you to tell me.”

“Yeah, well,” you gasp, your brain scrambling to come up with a response. “How was I suppose to know one of the biggest mob bosses in the city would want me?”

Ari growls at that and nips your shoulder. “How the hell could I not want you? So smart, so pretty.” He starts removing your clothes and kissing your exposed skin. “I was an idiot to not make you mine sooner.”

Your moans turn into whines as he continues to kiss and caress your body in ways that leave you speechless.

GAHHHH, ZOMBIE!!!!

I’M SCREECHING. I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS!!! 🫠🫠🫠

Ari took a shootout for me?? What happened?? My brain would be so dizzy!! 🥺🥺🥺keep throwing the compliments my way *whew*

Thank you so much for this *chefs kiss*

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Ari Levinson; Friends to Lovers; Bookstore; Fluff. Hope you enjoy!

Admittedly I kinda cheesed the "Friends to Lovers" aspect. 😬

++++++

Your heart leaps when you see it. You've scoured five different bookstores looking for this one book and you've finally found it! It's kinda high up so you have to stretch but you're not deterred.

Just as you're about to touch the book, someone else grabs it off the shelf. You can't hold back the whiny "no!" that forms.

The person who grabbed the book stops and turns to you. He's big, tall and has the deepest blue eyes you've ever seen. His long hair is complemented by his beard. He's giving you a quizzical look that, if you weren't so upset, you'd think was handsome.

"You were looking for this?" He waves the book in front of you. You nod, not trusting yourself to speak in your frustrated state. "It's been a pain in the ass to find."

"I know," you pout. "This is the fifth store I've checked."

He considers you for a moment and you give him the stink eye, making him laugh. "Let me buy you a coffee," he starts, "and I'll consider giving you the book."

"Just a coffee?" Your eyes are full of suspicion, making him smile wider.

"Just a coffee, at the cafe right next door. I'll buy the book and meet you there."

"I'll trust you. For now."

Months later Ari argued that the two of you were already dating because he'd taken you out for coffee that day. As you kissed him you argued it wasn't so much a date as it was a hostage situation because he had your book. By now Ari knows better than you argue with you but he does it anyways. You're always so cute when you argue.

AHHHH Thank you Zombie @thezombieprostitute<3

Just as you're about to touch the book, someone else grabs it off the shelf. You can't hold back the whiny "no!" that forms.

i thought for a second that Ari's going to pin you on the shelves and do nasty depraved things to you oops

Friends to loves prompt is so cute and fun! (most of the times) It would rank as the top three of my favorite fic prompts :3

i can totally imagine Ari holding your book (even he paid for it sdjkfjsdkjks) as hostage while having that cup of coffee. I imagine you exchanged numbers (because you promised to give the book back when you finish reading it) and one day when you are reading you get a google alert or twitter notification of the said writer posting or doing something. And you can't help but take a snapshot of the screen and send it to him

>You: CRAZY! She said she finished another one! >Ari: no way the last book is just out only a month ago did her keyboard work on autopilot or something? >You: ikr this book I'm reading now is sooooo goooood you can't even imagine >You: Like, sooooooo goooood with the villians trio, Adam, Chutney, and William. Especially Chutney. I love chutney <3 >You: *villains >Ari: Don't >Ari: Do not spoil it for me >Ari: Please I'm begging you >Ari: But just a quick peek, did Adam die in the end?

And inviting Ari to a book read in your city, exchanging laughs and discussions over your shared love of books and novels. Going to the movies, having dinners together, visiting Ari's workplace,...

I love this idea :3 Thank you zombie!

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Hal Carter; Only One Bed; Soulmate; Fluff

++++++

It figured. Less than a day until the magical timer on your wrist says you'll meet your soulmate, and you're at an event for work. To make things worse, Lance Tucker was your travel partner. The man was an oaf but he had a knack for sales that secured him the trip.

You tried to look on the positive. Maybe your soulmate would be some rich guy staying at the hotel that you meet in an elevator. Maybe they'd be a world traveler checking in to the hotel at the same time as you. At the very least, they could be someone who would be a buffer between you and Lance.

The first sign of trouble was when Lance checked you both in and you were in the same room. When he revealed this you gave him a look that said, "I have mace and I'm not afraid to use it." He didn't even flinch; the second sign of trouble. He even managed to crowd you in the large, open elevator.

He walks into the room ahead of you and stops. He says in a sarcastic surprised tone, "oh no! There's only one bed!" He turns back to you, a glint in his eyes, and you are beyond furious.

You confirm the one bed and walk out the door. When he calls after you, you flip him off and say, "nope. I quit. This job isn't worth putting up with you."

"Get your ass back here, Navy," he barks back. "I'd treat you damn well and you know it!"

You get to the elevator and wait while he storms after you. You do your best to ignore him, praying for the elevator to hurry the hell up.

There's a hand at your shoulder and you wince but then it's gone. You hear Lance give an angry yell at someone else. Curious, you turn around and see that Lance has been thrown against the wall by a stranger.

"I'm thinking the lady doesn't want anything to do with you," he tells Lance, a slight drawl in his voice.

"This has nothing to do with you," Lance argues. "Get lost!"

"Not happenin'," the stranger replies. "When that elevator opens, the lady is getting in and you're staying here."

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Doesn't matter who I am. I'm bigger than you."

The elevator dings and you grab you bag to head inside. Turning to the stranger you ask, "can you come with me?" He nods, his eyes never leaving Lance, even as he walks backwards into the elevator.

As soon as the doors close you both let out sighs of relief and laugh at the synchronized response. He holds out his hand, "I'm Hal."

"I'm Navy," you smile as you take his hand. That's when you both realize your soulmate timers had reached zero.

Hal smiles and rubs the back of his head nervously. "I hope it ain't to forward of me to ask for a date?"

"Not at all," you smile. You're looking forward to getting to know him.

Zombie, I adore this! Hal is a hero, gentleman, and the perfect soulmate. And I love that he told Lance he's bigger than him. Yeah, he is. 😏

A bouquet for you! Featuring Curtis Everett, Friends to Lovers, Bookstore and Smut. Hope you enjoy!

++++++

Curtis, your best friend, the biggest supporter of your dream of owning a bookstore. And now he was helping you celebrate the first bit of profit give been able to earn. You were so full of adrenaline you couldn't hold back your feelings any more and you kissed him. He froze and your were worried you'd overstepped but then he returned the kiss, with fervor.

The two of you quickly amped it up from just kissing to so much more.

"You feel so good, Amber," Curtis moans. "Knew you'd feel soft and warm. Feel so good." His hands are touching you everywhere under your shirt as you straddle him in your office chair.

You lean back just long enough to take off your shirt before shoving your tongue back down his throat. His big, calloused hands have you moaning and hungry for more.

"Been wanting you for so long," you confess as he unclasps your bra.

"Ain't gotta wait any longer, gorgeous," he assures between kisses to your neck as he kneads your breasts.

"Promise this isn't a one time thing?"

He pulls back and holds your face between his hands, making you look into his gorgeous blue eyes. "I promise, Amber."

Why is this the literal dream and I wanna come live here Zombie? YOU NAILED EVERYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY. A book store? A friends to lovers trope? Getting to live out my happy fantasy life with Curtis?! You are giving him a good life too with this I promise cause I would love this man so damn hard. You're a precious bean and thank you so much for being a part of this community cause you make this place so much better.
