“No.” I reached for him and he held me tight as tears threatened. I wanted to be stronger and not a weak, needy guy, but I knew that I needed Maverick by my side more than anyone. “I need you here.” It wasn’t the time for prideful displays. He was more critical to my well-being than anything or anyone. I could feel the edges of exhaustion creeping in and sagged heavily against him, so grateful for his strength.
Maverick could feel me winding down and eased me back down so he could remove my jeans. I tried to fight off sleep so I could watch my beautiful Adonis remove his clothes to join me, but my eyelids were so heavy. The next thing I remembered was Maverick waking me up so he could reposition me in bed and slide in beside me. I rolled over on my side and curled into him with my head over his heart.
I might not remember the moments of falling in love with him again, but right then I was more than happy to make new ones. I drifted off to sleep with the feel of Maverick’s calloused fingers trailing up and down my spine and a heart that felt lighter than it had since I woke up from my short coma.
The next time I opened my eyes, the room was in shadow from the setting sun. I was confused about how long I had been asleep. We had arrived back home midday so I must’ve been out for quite a few hours – if it was still the same day.
Then I became aware of other things, namely the large body curled protectively around mine. Maverick was pressed against my back as tightly as he could, mimicking my position exactly, including the way I kept my bottom leg straight and my top leg bent at the knee. It brought his bulge right up against my ass and I could feel my puckered hole twitch with the need to feel him again.
I felt Maverick’s even breaths against my neck and knew that he was still asleep. He hadn’t faired any better than me during my stay at the hospital. He refused to leave and insisted on sleeping in that chair until I begged and asked a nurse to bring him a cot and set it beside my bed. That scrawny thing could barely hold his weight, but I loved waking up and finding him there beside me.
Just then, I couldn’t think about the romantic implications of his devotion because other parts of me – namely my aching dick and balls, that felt like lead-filled balloons dangling between my legs – had more pressing needs.Did I wake him and demand that he please me? Did I seduce him into opening me up and sliding inside me?I couldn’t wait another minute to do anything. I chose instead to reach inside my boxers and touch myself, and let the feel of his warm body pressed against mine be enough of his participation.
I couldn’t resist pushing my ass against his groin as I fondled my swollen sac with one hand while I slowly jacked myself with the other. It felt amazing and I couldn’t help the little whimpers that escaped my mouth. I wasn’t sure what woke him from his deep sleep, me grinding my ass against his cock as I fucked my fist or the choked way I cried out his name.
Maverick slid his hand off of my waist and stilled my stroking hand. I nearly growled at him, because I had been so close to shooting. “Let me.”
“God, yes. Finally!” Just the thought was almost enough to make me come.
Maverick began pushing down my underwear and I shifted to help him. I lost the connection of his body briefly while he stripped himself out of his own underwear. Then he was back pressed against me. He placed his big hand on the back of my thigh and shifted my leg up to the angle it had been before he undressed. His hot, hungry cock pressed between my ass cheeks and I could’ve wept from the sensations he made me feel.
Maverick placed hot kisses along the back of my neck as he slowly reached for my weeping cock. The trimmed hair of his beard against my skin sent shivers down my spine. “The doctor said no jarring or fast movements for the next few days or I’d give you the fucking you’ve been begging me for.” His words were wicked and held so much dark promise. “You think I didn’t want to crawl into that bed with you and remind you of my touch and the way I make you feel?” Maverick’s hand slowly started to work my cock up and down as he ground his dick between my ass cheeks. I could feel his pre-cum slick against my tender flesh. “Do you think I wanted to wait to remind you of where and to whom you belong?”
“Maverick.” I reached back and fisted my hand in his hair.
“Your body knows it. Your heart knows it. Your mind will remember in time, because, Noah, you were made for me. Do you hear me?” His fist pumped a little faster, ratcheting up my need. “I’ve been through too much and waited for too long to get you back to ever give up on us.” Later, I’d ponder what he meant when he said he’d been through too much, but right then all of my focus was on his touch and my need to come all over his skilled hand.
I wanted to feel him bust his nut all over my ass, to know that his need for me was just as wild and out of control as what I felt for him. All I could do was moan and beg for more, because I was truly at his mercy. I couldn’t imagine how good it would feel to have him inside me; just his hand on my dick and the grinding of his cock on my ass drove me wild. I was so close but I needed more friction. I began fucking his fist, which drove his cock harder against my skin.
“Noah.” Maverick growled, warning me. Fuck, no jarring and fast movements. I knew what I needed and I wouldn’t be denied. I dug my fingernails into his scalp and earned myself an angry hiss from my tormentor. “You’re going to pay for this, Doc. I still have that silky black rope just waiting to tie you back to this bed so I can fuck you proper.”
I gasped from the excitement his words brought me. That was my hottest fantasy – one that I’d never lived out, or at least remembered. “You’ve tied me up?” The worlds trembled off of my lips.
“Oh yes. Blindfolded you too. You were completely at my mercy and I lived out every fantasy you’ve ever had, taken you to heights no one has ever dared before and will never get the chance again. You. Are. Mine.”
“Maverick.” My balls retracted and I lost my load. I went off like a geyser, pumping rope after rope of cum that had been bursting to escape me. I covered his hand, my stomach, and some even landed on my chin. Maverick growled and turned my head so he could lick my release off of my face.
“Come, Mav. I want to feel you all over me.” I pushed my hole hard against his dick and was rewarded when he came all over my ass. I could tell that I wasn’t the only one who had been aching to release during my stay in the hospital. It was good to know he wasn’t sneaking off to rub one out while I suffered in misery.
“Oh fuck! I needed that,” Maverick said once he finished. “Give me a minute and I’ll clean us up.”
“Stay,” I urged as exhaustion began to creep in again. Would I ever be able to stay awake for more than an hour? I should’ve been glad that someone wasn’t forcing me awake to check my brain damage as frequently, but I was hoping for a happy medium.
“I’ll be right back, baby. I’m just going to our bathroom.” Even though we had an ensuite master bathroom, it seemed like too long of a separation.
I had drifted off to sleep in those few minutes it took him to wet a washcloth and return. The press of wet warmth on my skin woke me up. I reached for him and tried to pull him back to bed. His laugh was a deep rumble that made my toes curl.
“Let me toss this back in the bathroom real quick.”
“Floor,” I said, sounding like a drunk. I attempted to raise my arm and point for him to toss it on the floor, but my tired limb just collapsed back down. “You fucked me to death.”
“Not yet,” he promised darkly.
Once again I fell asleep, but was woken when he climbed back into bed. I curled into him once more and tossed a leg over his thigh to keep him there in a move that felt familiar. His laughter warmed me as I nestled closer. As tired as I was, I felt an irrational fear to stay awake; as if I might wake up and this had all been a dream.Was I dreaming now?
“I’ll still be here,” Maverick whispered in my hair and soothed me with his hand on my back. Again, it felt so familiar to me that I wondered if it had happened before.Was I remembering something?I felt a small smile spread across my face as I realized that itwassomething that I knew.I wanted to cling onto it and see if it triggered something else, but I couldn’t stay awake. I fell asleep with the hope in my heart that all would return to normal soon.
