“Yeah, with lots of help. It’s not like I’ve fully been on my own.”

“No one ever is. Everyone needs someone sometimes.”

“And who have you needed lately?” I lift a brow.

“The person I’m about to dance with to the Eagles best hits.”

My lips stretch, my breaths catching, and he tugs me to him, causing butterflies to take flight in my stomach.

“You don’t need me.”

“Yes, I do. I really, really do.”

“What exactly do I do for you?”

“Everything I couldn’t get before meeting you. Something that makes me happy to hoard.”

I laugh, and minutes later“Hotel California”plays. Taking me by the hand he spins me around the living room, and the more time passes with him being here, the more reasons I want to have to keep him even longer. After all, he does want to see everything I collect. What better opportunity to do that than when I’m adding him as a new addition. There’s a reason he’sso convinced he can sleep well here. It’s because I made sure he would. So I guess he really does need me, and if he sleeps soundly all the other days he’s here, maybe he’ll think that’s enough to always want to stay. I was worried at first that I was doing it for selfish reasons, but he needs it. He needs me. Travis only left because he didn’t, so I just have to make sure I continue benefiting Rafael as much as he does me.

Raf

Henry wiggles against me before scooting closer to the fire. I willingly follow, hooking an arm around his waist as I kiss his neck. He hums, pressing his ass to my groin, and I grind against him, rubbing his cock.

“Never did I think it was possible to come so much in one day before meeting you.”

“Oh, Honey, this is only the beginning. Just wait and you’ll soon realize how infinite that amount can be.”

“So, you’re saying when you kill me, I’ll die happy?”

I freeze behind him. He doesn’t know. He can’t know, but his words cut at my chest anyway. “I’ll let you rest before that happens. I’m not ready to go back to watching movies the regular way.”

He laughs. “Is that the only reason you want me to live?”

“That and because I haven’t put that cock cage on you yet.” I kiss his shoulder and a shudder comes over him.

“Is that all?” His voice rises.

“And I still haven’t seen you wear everything we’ve ordered together.”

“And?” He twists his body around.

“And I still have a string of lights I need to decorate you with before using them to tie you to the bed so I can play with you to test out how well that cage works. Do I need to keep adding reasons?” I lick between his parting lips.

“No, but I wouldn’t be opposed to hearing more.”

I lean closer to his ear, nipping at the bottom lobe. “And I still need to play in the snow with you and take you on more dates. I also need to wake up next to you more days, and I’m not done having you be the last one I see before closing my eyes at night.”

“Being snowed in together this weekend and half of next week oughta cover a great deal of that.”

“I’ll still want more.”

“You might be speaking too soon.”

“I doubt it. As of now I can’t get enough of you. I’m lying with you in my arms and need more of you. To be closer. To be practically under your damn skin.”

“Okay, Buffalo Bill.”
