Luke came back with our coffees and handed me my cup.

“Thanks,” I said and gratefully took the first sip of the hot, sweet coffee. “Mmm,” I moaned.

“That’s some reaction to coffee,” Luke said with a chuckle.

“You have no idea how much I needed the caffeine and sugar rush,” I said, feeling ten times better as I took more eager sips. Pure strength and vitality seemed to flow through my veins and I suddenly felt alive again.

“I’m guessing you haven’t checked the assignment we were given,” he said, bringing out his laptop.

“No, sorry.”

“That’s okay. I’ve got it all in here.”

Getting up from his chair, he came over to my side of the table and sat down beside me. We sat in comfortable silence as the computer booted up.

Luke clicked on a few folders and finally opened a PDF document. Pushing the laptop toward me, he added, “Take a look.”

I sipped my coffee and read through the assignment. My mind whirred, already working out a list of calculations we needed to do.

“We have to run a lot of simulations,” I muttered, my eyes still glued to the problems set for us.

“We’ve got to explain each step in detail as well,” Luke supplied.

I gave a nod, liking the fact he wasn’t one of those guys who depended on others to do most of their work for them. He’d already gone through the whole assignment and figured things out for himself.

Looking up from the screen, I asked, “How do you think we should divide the work?”

“I was thinking of taking up the analysis portion,” said Luke. “I’m weak at running software simulations, so I want to work on them. You could check them out for me and make sure my work is correct.”

“Running the simulations is about seventy percent of the job,” I said. “Are you sure you want to do them all on your own?”

“Yeah,” he said with a grin. “Think about it. If two people write up a report, there would be no cohesiveness. It’s best one of us writes the explanation parts. Besides, you’ll be checking over my work to make sure I’ve done things right.”

I couldn’t help but smile. Luke sounded like a great partner to work with.

“Deal,” I said and took another sip of my coffee.

He raised his glass of iced coffee. “Here’s to getting an A+.”

I chuckled. Luke sounded like an ambitious guy. I was starting to like him more and more. It was rare to find someone as serious about grades as me.

Relief spread through me. I was going to get through the next few months by drowning myself in work. Mom could stay with Brian while I continued living in my apartment with my flatmate.

From now on, I was going to stay away from my stepbrothers. Avoiding them was the best way to make sure my mom’s last days were peaceful.

My eyes opened to the sunlight filtering in through the curtains. I looked up at the ceiling, wishing I could get rid of the dream that still kept my dick rock hard.

“Stop haunting my dreams,” I warned. “If you don’t, I’ll make you scream for real.”

The threat did nothing to wipe Milla’s face from my mind.

I couldn’t get her out of my thoughts after knowing I was the first man to be inside her. My cum was the first to mark her pussy.

I wasn’t into inexperienced virgin girls but Milla was special. Both Corey and I marked her.
