“Yes.”
I reached in the drawer for lube and a condom, but something made me pause as I rolled it on, looking at Alex spread out on my bed. I felt a rush of emotion I’d never felt before, and with it, a fear that this might be a onetime thing. I didn’t want that any more than I wanted my time with Alex to come to an end.
“Just promise me you won’t leave after,” I said.
“Wasn’t planning on it.” Alex reached across me and snatched the bottle. After rolling onto his side, he quickly dribbled some of the liquid onto his fingers and reached back to work himself open. I slid my hand around him, sliding a finger in next to his. The heat was overwhelming and made me bite my lip with anticipation. In just a few seconds, I’d be balls deep in the sweetest, sexiest man on the face of the earth.
I didn’t hesitate to steal more kisses from him, teasing him with little nibbles on his lip. As Alex rolled to his back, he pulled me down to lie on top of him. He wrapped a leg around mine, pulling me closer until our cocks were rubbing each other and his kisses became downright dirty.
I missed you tonight.The words nearly slipped from my lips as I bent to kiss his neck, but we were too frenzied with passion for those kinds of admissions. It would’ve been received wrong if I’d said it while we were touching and rocking against each other as if we couldn’t get enough.
When I finally sat back on my knees and lifted his hips, Alex moved quickly, offering himself to me. He winced when I pressed in, but his hands never left my thighs, and the moment I pushed past that tight ring of muscle, we both let out a relieved breath. I rocked in slowly, loving the feel of being inside him, of being able to share this intimacy with him. I bent to brush my lips over his as I thrust in the last few inches, moaning when my balls slapped against his ass. He held my face in one hand almost possessively and sucked my tongue into his mouth for another dirty and desperate kiss.
“Mm-more,” he grunted, working his hips to match my thrusts.
I tried to increase the rhythm, but with my angle, it just wasn’t working. Sliding an arm under his neck, I rolled us so he was on top. “What—”
“Sit back and ride me.”
Alex hesitated.
“Take me, Alex.”I’m yours.
Alex did as I demanded, angling himself until I nailed a place inside him that had his eyes going wide and hips jerking.
“Ohmygod,” he breathed at the same time I hissed in pleasure.
“Fuck yes. Keep doing that. Wanna see you lose control.”
Alex placed his hands on my chest, supporting his larger frame as he rocked back, each time going a little more frantic than the last as he chased his high. Eventually, he held himself a few inches above me so I could drive up into him, hitting his prostate over and over. Not only did it drive Alex wild, causing endless muttered curses to slip from his swollen lips, but it pulled me nearer and nearer to orgasm as well.
“I’m close. Jerk yourself if you need,” I said between pants.
“Don’t nee--ooohgod.” Several bursts of white-hot streams of cum splashed against our chests as his orgasm barreled through him. Alex gripped my forearms with enough force to leave bruises, and his mouth fell open in a gasp. He lost his footing, crashing down hard onto me, yet the sudden jolt only amplified my pleasure. Feeling him convulse around my cock was mind-blowing, shoving me right over the edge with him. I shuddered and cried out, never looking away from Alex.
Gasping for breath, Alex slid off a few moments later and collapsed onto the bed next to me. He kept a hand on my stomach as if not willing to break our connection, and I liked that. I liked that a lot. He turned to look at me, a smile touching his eyes in the dim light. It took us several moments to catch our breath, and neither of us said anything as we cleaned up.
After letting the dogs back in the room, we got a full sniff-over and an accusatory huff from Roxy. Then Alex pulled me to him, tucking me in as the little spoon and holding me close. I’d never been one to fall asleep in another person’s arms, but with Alex, I welcomed it. Within seconds, I was asleep.

My phone vibrated on the nightstand, pulling me out of a strange dream, and I sleepily reached for it, expecting it to be a patient with an emergency.
“Dr. Winters speaking,” I said, praying I didn’t sound as tired and groggy as I felt.
It was Melanie, her voice urgent and stressed, instantly making me more alert. “Vaughn, I’m so sorry. I don’t think I can make it in.”
Rolling onto my back, I rubbed my eyes. “Everything okay?”
“Oh, yeah. I’m fine,” she said, “but my street is flooded.”
That got my attention. “Flooded?”
“Have you not heard the storm?” she asked in jest. “It’s raining puppies and kittens out there! Anyway, I guess one of the drains in my neighborhood is clogged again because our entire street is a river.”
“Is your house okay?” I asked. She and her husband lived on the lower end of the subdivision, nearest the drain, which meant anytime it backed up, her yard became a lake. Twice, the water had come close to getting in their garage, and they’d had to place sandbags just in case.
“Yeah, we’re fine so far. Lee’s already called the city for help. But I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.”
