The way Lucas’ smile never dimmed was addictive. It was like they were completely alone. Everyone ceased to exist. Lucas cast a quick glance around. Before Ajax knew what would happen,Lucas quickly darted into the pantry with Ajax in tow. The moment they were closed away and out of sight, Lucas was in his space. Their lips met, and they shared each other’s air. So much emotion rose inside Ajax as their tongues met. He wanted this to be forever. His throat swelled. Ajax hadn’t been looking for this. He had no idea where he thought things would go between them when he started down this road, but somewhere along the line, Ajax had…
Lucas dropped to his knees, killing every thought in Ajax’s head. He stared down the line of his body, transfixed by the sight of Lucas unzipping his pants. Ajax wanted to say they were feet from their entire family. He knew he should point out they could get busted any second. Lucas would definitely be horrified if his mom caught him blowing Ajax in the middle of his birthday party. No words formed. He was down Lucas’ throat so fast, Ajax couldn’t truly think at all. Ajax definitely couldn’t speak. He bit his tongue to keep from moaning. Damn, Lucas knew how to play his body. That mouth had too much fucking talent. Ajax had really gone into things, thinking he would bend Lucas, addicting him and twisting him around Ajax’s finger. Something else had happened. Ajax hadn’t been prepared. Lucas sucked and swallowed, getting the quick results he obviously wanted. The pressure built until Ajax’s sanity was balanced on the edge of a knife. Then Lucas pulled some move with his tongue that had Ajax catching sight of heaven.
Lucas kissed his way back to Ajax’s lips.
While Ajax still tried to catch his breath, and he shook from the powerful orgasm, Ajax couldn’t control himself. His mouth opened, and the truth fell out. “I love you.”
Lucas pulled away and held Ajax’s stare. His cheeks were flushed, and his lips were swollen. His expression had Ajax ready to ride his dick. He needed that heat beneath him. There was no shock or rejection in Lucas’ eyes. It was Ajax who ended up in disbelief when Lucas responded, “I love you too.”
Like that, Ajax knew they were forever. He would never let Lucas go.
Chapter Nine
Ajax:Iwishyouwould come with me to these things. You’re always invited. Salem and his pretty boys are interesting enough, but I’m not truly a guest at these parties. I’m on duty. It’s boring.
Lucas:To be fair, you’d still be on duty if I was there.
Ajax:True, but I could quietly swap locations and find a dark corner for us.
Lucas:I’ll be there in ten.
Lucas:My legs feel like jelly and my hands are shaking so hard I can barely type.
Ajax:You need to stop trying to overdo it at the gym. I know you need to rebuild your full strength, but it won’t happen overnight.
Lucas:I want to pin you against the wall and fuck you hard—the way you deserve. That won’t happen until I’m back to one hundred percent.
Ajax:Mhmm. Interested. But it’s not worth it to me if it comes at the price of your health. I love you. I need you to take things slow.
Lucas:Your desires are my top priority. I love you too. If you want me to slow down, I will. We have all the time in the world, right?
Ajax:Right.
Lucas:Plus, I’m wasting too much energy. Half dead or not, I’ll be inside you tonight. But I realize I won’t be at my best. You deserve top-tier service.
Ajax:Don’t worry. I’ll still get it. You can just relax while I take control.
Lucas:I can’t wait.
Ajax:I love you.
Lucas:I love you too.
Ajax:I hope your passport is up to date. We’re expected in Serveno in a little less than a month.
Lucas:Oh. All right. Just tell me what to pack.
Ajax:The royal tailor will be here on Wednesday. Noir will ensure your mother and you have the proper attire to mingle with royalty.
Mom:Did you hear we’re going to a royal ball?!! I’m so excited! Lazarus says someone is coming to take my measurements and discuss colors. I feel just like a princess.
Lucas:That’s great. You’ll outshine everyone.
Mom:Flatterer.
Lucas:Just being honest.
Mom:I love you. You have no idea how proud I am of you every day.
