After hanging up the call and walking Montana, Jasmine winds down in the last hour of her 3-2-1 bedtime ritual. Three hours before her 11pm bedtime, she stops eating and only drinks water. Two hours before bedtime, she puts away any work and tries not to think about it. At 10pm, she puts away any screens.
This includes refraining from texting her boyfriend, Ryan. He only lives 20 minutes away, and they see each other at least once a day, but, since the 6 months from their first date, she's been completely smitten. Even though she just hung up from a call with him, they text each other good night.
"Sleep well baby," she reads from him, smiling to herself.
"I can't wait to see you after work tomorrow," she responds.
Her final hour is dedicated to herself. It consists of a shower, full body moisturizing, music, and reading or writing until her eyes inevitably get heavy with sleep. She puts on music, the only exception to the no-screen rule. Tonight she's feeling some Bad Bunny and reggae for her shower.
With the music playing, she strips down and turns on the water as she steps into it. The cold shocks her, bringing goosebumps all over her body. She holds back a moan from the discomfort, but she stays in the water because she's a tree hugger at heart, living in the desert, and she doesn't want to waste water.
Besides, she thinks, remembering an article she read, cold showers are good for you. Something about clearing the mind or being like an ice bath.
She also remembers cold showers having a reputation to calm people's sexual desires, but this shower wasn't doing that for her. The pain of the cold excited her. Anyway, now the warm water was flowing, and she shampoos her hair and scrubs her body, lathering quickly because she really didn't like to waste water. The only time she allows herself a little more water than necessary to flow down is when she's rinsing thoroughly, closing her eyes, running her fingers through her hair and body. With Bad Bunny's song playing, her hips instinctually sway to the music. People sing in the shower. Jasmine dances in the shower.
After showering and drying, she moisturizes with a Kate Mcleod body stone her best friend, Kay, had gifted her, rubbing the lotion bar all over her body, enjoying the smell of the bar and the softness of her skin. The cocoa butter makes her oily for the night, but her skin is always extra supple through the next day.
Jasmine created this bedtime ritual with Kay 8 months ago, on one Molly-fueled night of a soul-searching weekend at a beach house. Kay was going through a break-up, so Jasmine drove 3 hours from a desert town in southern California to Los Angeles to whisk her away from the drama. The girls talked about their futures through dreams and goals and reflections. Independence was something they valued and sleep was something they both lacked in their foundation, so they made a plan to solve their lack of sleep and to maintain their independence.
Though she was missing Ryan, Jasmine used this hour to distract herself from missing
him, never wanting to be codependent on anyone.
But if I were to be codependent on anyone, it could be him, she finds herself thinking while she is snuggled under the covers with her notebook out, a pen in her hands, and her lamp on a timer. She's on her stomach, ready to write in her notebook about her day or check in about her dreams.
She starts to think about Ryan's strong arms and wishes she was in them. Jasmine wants to reach for her phone to check if he's maybe texted but reminds herself of her own rule. Instead, she lets herself remember their last encounter and writes down her thoughts, needing a release.

It was a day they were working from home together at her place. He was on the couch working on his laptop, and she came over from her desk to sit next to him. She couldn't resist planting kisses on his cheek, seeking his attention.
"Break?" Jasmine suggested. "I just finished 4 hours of meetings. Cuddle me."
"Give me 30 more minutes. I want to finish this review," he said, placating her by kissing her on the cheek.
"No. It's been four hours of no cuddling," she argued, pulling his hands away from his keyboard.
"Behave," he commanded, not taking his eyes off his work.
Jasmine grinned. They both knew that word just made her all the more disobedient and that it made her want him more. He internally knew he messed up, but he was so close to finishing his review of his intern's code. She kept kissing him and whispering "cuddle me" while he ignored her and her hands that were unbuttoning his shirt. After maybe 3 minutes of her kisses getting more and more aggressive on his face, ear, and neck, he sighed and accepted she wasn't going to stop anytime soon. He was a little annoyed with Jasmine's relentless requests for his attention, but her soft kisses and naughty hands made him hard. His erection was starting to push uncomfortably against the warming laptop through his pants. Exasperated, he stood up and set down his laptop gently on the coffee table, reasoning he could let his laptop cool down at least while he prepared for a better work environment.
Hopeful that he was going to give her attention, Jasmine started telling him about how her meetings were all going over time. He didn't pay attention, knowing there was one thing that would shut her up when she got like this. He turned her around to face the couch and groped her from behind, mauling her tits with one hand and pulling down her shorts with the other.
Jasmine whined, wishing for cuddles, but she didn't make an effort to pull her shorts back up. Doing her best to not let it show how much she wanted what was about to happen, she continued to ask him for cuddles.
"Ryan, baby, I just want to cuddle," she cooed, with her head over her shoulder looking innocently at him.
He didn't respond and pushed her head down into the couch cushions, exposing her ass further to him. He took a second to appreciate the tiny black piece of cotton that retreated between her ass cheeks. He almost let her know he liked it. However, he was annoyed she had taken him out of a productive flow. He wanted to get back to work. He didn't want to waste any more time. He pulled her thong aside. She wasn't visibly wet yet, but, as soon as his fingers spread her lips apart, her juices from his lack of attention seeped out from her. He roughly spread her body's slutty natural lubricant around, unbuckled his pants, and slammed all of him into her.
____________
On her stomach in bed with her oversized shirt, Jasmine reaches around and massages the small of her back, remembering how he shoved her face into the cushions and how she arched her back, so he could go deeper.
____________
He fucked her hard, with absolutely no regard to her face being uncomfortably mashed against the couch. She had a moment of worry that her mascara was going to stain the couch, but that worry disappeared from the pleasure of his next thrust.
He was holding onto her hips, squeezing into her soft flesh to allow himself to keep his near violent pace. Jasmine felt her knees getting sore, and her lower back was straining from arching so deeply. She welcomed the pain.
Anything to please him, she thought to herself as he kept pounding into her. Ryan's dick always hit the right places for her. As much as Jasmine was crazy for Ryan, she was even crazier to have his cock inside her.
Suddenly, Ryan pulled out, and Jasmine, who was pushed deep into the couch cushions cracks and had weakened knees from aggressive thrusts, struggled to get her face out of the cushions to turn around and beg him to keep going.
"Grab my dick and put it in your asshole," he ordered, still stoic. His face didn't reveal any enjoyment, but he was standing straight up with his erection glistening and pointing right at her.
Jasmine started to protest, wanting to feel him in her pussy, not wanting what he just did to ever stop.
"I don't think I want to do that today," she said, shyly looking back up at him.
He grabbed her face and pulled her closer, contorting her body uncomfortably so her lower half was still kneeled on the couch and her upper half was twisted around to face him. He bent over, close to her face.
