“Hush, puppy.” I shook my head, trying to get my wayward thoughts under control before taking a deep breath. “I think I might be falling in love with you, like you.”
To my surprise, Link scoffed. “Youthinkyoumightbe? Catch up, Elias. I’m fucking gone for you. How are you not?”
I blinked at him in surprise. “Really? I thought this was just…” I trailed off, not really knowing how to finish that sentence.
“Sex?” he guessed. “You thought it was just sex?”
I shrugged. “Kind of.”
“Jesus.”
“Can you blame me? I mean, really.”
He shook his head. “I go to my knees for you, Elias.” He leaned forward, nuzzling my cheek. “I beg for the privilege of having your sweet milk on my tongue.” His lips coasted over my jaw, and I inhaled a sharp breath. “I worship you. Of course it’s not just sex.”
My stupid heart swelled. “Really?”
Link sat back, staring at me with confusion in his eyes. “Yes, really.”
Holy fuck. Well, I certainly felt less stupid for my feelings now. “What are we gonna do about it?”
He cocked his head, not unlike an adorable puppy. “Do about what?”
“Our feelings.” I waved a hand through the air, like it could somehow encompass everything.
Link’s eyebrows drew together. “I don’t know. I kind of figured we’d just do this for the rest of our lives, you know?”
“This?” Why did I sound like an idiot?
He nodded. “Yeah. This. All the things we’re already doing. Only now with love and shit.”
My heart was trying to crawl out of my chest, but that actually sounded good… Really good. “I’m not very good at talking about my feelings.”
Link snorted a laugh. “No shit.”
I shoved at his arm. “Alright, puppy. Don’t be a brat.”
“Tell you what,” he said, locking eyes with me. “You move into my room, and I won’t be a brat anymore.”
“That doesn’t seem?—”
“For at least five minutes a day.”
Ah, yes. That made much more sense.
“Just five minutes?” I asked, grinning at him.
He shrugged. “I could push it, I guess.”
My cock stirred at the thought, and I slid my fingers into his hair, grabbing the strands tightly in myfist so I could jerk his head back. He whimpered at the movement, his body going limp immediately. “You could push it, and then I’d just have to put you in your place.”
Link whimpered again, and it thrummed in my veins. “Is that what you want?” I asked softly, leaning in close to his ear. “You want to act out so I can put you in your place?”
“Yes,” he gasped.
“Louder, puppy.”
“Yes, Elias. That’s what I want. Fuck yes.”
