this was so charming and me actually laughing out loud, especially the part in monster resources with the VHS tape about "mate bonding at work." I was also delighted to find a spicy illustration tucked away in a sexy scene.

Khent really stole the show for me, despite not being in his POV at all. He's so uptight and buttoned up until he's mate bonded and can't help but EAT and PROTECT. He can write such professional emails but also eat you out like a champ. Amazing. Head canon is hipster hulk from the MCU.

I was so glad there was an epilogue, as love laugh lich by the same author ended so abruptly mid coitus at the end and it made me big mad.

Super fun read!
