"Please —" and it comes out sounding broken; his hips twitch and his fingers dig into Lev's back.
When he finishes he melts again, lays limp on the floor and smiles up at Lev and catches his breath.
"I think we should probably stay here until graduation. Raine needs us. And then I'll go with you?"

A kiss, and another. "Yeah. We should." Another, and then he rolls them over and gets up to get paper towels.
"I love you." A kiss on Lev's cheek. "But. We do need to sleep and I probably shouldn't be covered in bite marks tomorrow."
And Marlo kisses him, soft and shallow, one last time outside the door before he slips inside and into bed.
