I leaned my head back on his chest as we watched the movie.
Everyone had already gone home.
Cole and Madalyn had already gone to bed an hour ago.
And then I grabbed his hand that was around my chest, and whispered, “Touch me. Please.”
“Are you sure?” he asked.
“More than sure,” I whispered.
His fingers moved to my nipple through my camisole and his other hand... well... it was tracing lazy circles against my belly as it moved lower... and lower... and fucking hell yes... lower.
My eyes closed of their own volition; my head fell back to rest against his chest.
His fingers teased and prodded, and then... I saw stars.
I arched into him, trusting him to catch me.
To always catch me.
But in time?
We all knew he wouldn’t be able to.
We had only been defying the inevitable.

Beast – I love you.
Me – I love you, too.

Needing to get the final numbers to my team, I stood up, and then...
I felt it... fuck.
Everything went dark.
