“I’m stuck here with you, remember?” he said with a grin. “I can’t go anywhere. And I’m not going to sneak off again like last time.”
“Not in that sense,” I said. “I…” My head ached and I pressed a finger to my temple. “I don’t know. The feeling is so intense, not like anything I’ve experienced before.”
Caleb paused, then carefully asked, “Adriel. Um, I don’t mean to be rude, but... have youeverbeen in love before?”
I stopped. My mind drew a blank. There were snatches of memories, some brighter than others, some too hazy to recall.
“Before I turned, I had a relationship with a man,” I said. The memory trickled back slowly, like honey poured through a filter. “It was sexual in nature.”
“How long ago was it?” Caleb asked.
I shook my head. “Decades. Lifetimes ago. I can barely recall his name.”
“But did you love him?”
Truthfully, I couldn’t remember. No strong feelings emerged either way. All that came back to me was the memory of sex.
“I don’t think so,” I admitted.
“No one else?” Caleb pressed.
“No.”
“Oh.”
“What about yourself?” I asked, crossing my arms. “You’re old enough to have had a lover or two.”
Caleb blushed. “Maybe for sex, yeah, but not anyone I actually loved. I mean, maybe I thought I did in the moment, but it never lasted. And that was a long time ago. For me at least, maybe not for a vampire.”
“I see.”
Caleb fidgeted with the hem of his shirt. “Do you think you’re in love with me?”
I looked into his eyes and answered honestly, “I might be.”
Caleb smiled, soft and gentle. “I think I might be, too. But only if you stop running away from me.”
Caleb closed the space between us. This time, it was my back against the wall as Caleb pressed his body to mine. Though his heat had passed, he still radiated warmth.
His heat ended quite early, didn’t it?I thought.
But I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts as Caleb’s hand drifted back towards its previous position at the front of my pants. I let myself relax, and my worries melted away.
His hand teased my half-hard cock into fullness. His small hands stroked and rubbed me until my erection strained against the confines of my pants.
“That was fast,” Caleb teased. “Have you been pent up since we fucked, or something?”
I shot him a glare and he laughed.
“Get back to work, omega,” I grumbled.
He scowled and lightly pinched my dick. “Be nice or I won’t suck you off.”
I shuddered. “Fine.”
He smirked and began to undo my zipper. I stood still for him, letting him undress me until my pants pooled at my ankles. It felt raw and urgent, like we were two crazed teenagers instead of adult men. For too long I thought myself above this type of thing, but now that I was living in the moment, Ilikedit.
As Caleb brought my cock free and wrapped his fingers around it, I pet his hair encouragingly.
