His cries when I fuck him so deeply there isn’t any more of me to put inside him—

There isn’t a single clear patch of skin on his body now, because I’vecompletely covered him in pink bruises. I’ve corrected the differences to my fantasies and he looks so fucking pretty like that, taking the full length of my cock. His dick bounces between his legs, leaking everywhere, and the haze in his eyes has returned, this time tinged with exhaustion and a different kind of desperation.

“Please—Reuben,” he cries around my onslaught, and I grab his wrists to pull them towards me as my orgasm nears. “Hurry.Hurry.Inside me—”

“Ughh.” I come with a groan that emanates deep from my bones. My head goes blank and my vision fucking glitches as I press him into the seat and empty my second load inside him.

He releases the sexiest sound as he takes it all, and I reach out to stroke his dick before his orgasm shudders through him, the barest drops of cum dripping out from his tip.

It takes a few seconds to catch my breath, but when my vision returns Christian’s eyes are closed and he’s already fast asleep.

Fuck.

“Christian.”

There’s no response. Even when I pull out of him. Even when I turn his face to me and turn his head lightly from side to side.

“Baby, you can’t sleep here,”I mumble softly, but nothing.

And fuck, Xavier’s going to kill me.

Chapter 20

‘Christian’

I open my eyes to an unfamiliar room with tall glass windows and the city blinks dazzlingly back at me. It’s alive with lights that shimmer in the settling darkness, like stars across the landscape. Yet even though it’s dark now, the sun is supposedly lighting up another part of the world.

It never ceases to amaze me, that darkness and light interchange so naturally… whereas the suns back home are always bright. There’s no such thing as darkness.

My eyes are level with the flat roofs of already tall buildings, yet they are dwarfed in comparison to other giant complexes beside them. Even the usual sounds of nightlife and traffic are muted some storeys beneath us.

Where in the stars has this bastard taken me?

I try to sit up, but the moment I do, pain stings throughout my body and makes my ass seize up. Just trying to pull myself up is a battle of attrition. The barest of movement makes me wince and it feels like I've been hit by a thousand and some pounds of aluminium metal again.

I’ll definitely kill Reuben when I see him… but for some reason, the thought of him now only spills liquid warmth into my chest.

Is this why you’ve always been so soft on me, Reuben Taiga?

I remember Reuben’s expression, the way he always watched me. I thought it was because I was new… because I needed the extra attention… but it was never that.

‘Your emotions to me are the prettiest,’I remember Reuben’s words that night, the words that started this fire in me for him.

‘Then am I the only one of us who wants to be closer?’His words in my ear were real. Even the heat in his eyes when he consumed me today, they were the same as when I was in that hospital bed, when I’d run my hands through his hair for the first time.

Why did I do that then, anyway?

For how long have you been burrowing under my skin?

A hush falls, thick and unnatural, pressing against my ears and leaving only the pounding of my heartbeat.

‘Myskin?’ Christian’s voice is like a dark echo in my mind that freezes the blood in my veins.

I can feel his breath on my ear and feel him at my back again, like I have every night since I’d taken over his body. I could swear his ghost grips my throat to pull my gaze up to the mirror.

‘Whose body is it, Beau?’

Christian's eyes are staring back at me, visible even in the dark, and my breath stutters on the shame, the guilt, the despair. My lungs squeeze together and I turn away. My blood has frozen over in my veins and a cold sweat has gathered at the base of my neck.
