Gently, I rest my hands on his chest, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breathing. Water streams over us, hot and insistent, drumming softly against the tiles and our skin, and steam curls around our faces, mingling with our quiet sighs of comfort. I feel the small, steady pulse of him beneath my fingers,the way his body tilts toward mine as I spin him around and bend him over, gently placing his palms against the wall. Moans and sighs drift past his lips, trembling and earnest, each one reaching for something wordless. I grab the silicone-based lube off the shelf and dribble some down the crack of his ass, then onto my cock, while trailing soft kisses along his skin. He hums my name through sudsy wet lips as I push myself into his warm body.
And, yes… this. This is where I want to spend the rest of my life. Right here. With him.
His moans thicken as I roll my hips and push deeper into him, vibrating adorably through the steady flow of water cascading over his face. A low groan rolls out of my chest the moment I feel him let go. Every tremble. Every sigh. Every heartbeat. Until he finally exhales, and I walk him toward the blue-tiled wall and release every ounce of my load inside him.
Elated.
Breathless.
And most of all, relieved… that whatever he was about to tell me seems to have been forgotten.

NOAH
“Letme see that pretty face of yours,” Gabriel purrs, rolling onto his back so I can straddle his waist.
Heart racing. Sweat glistening across my skin. I spread my legs and lean forward, hyperaware of every single muscle pressing against my body. Goose bumps sprout in the wake of his lips traveling across my skin.
“Gorgeous.” He breathes against my neck.
His cock stands tall against his stomach, rigid, smooth, and tanned. I rub my erection against his, slow and relaxed, just to feel him twitch beneath my touch. The hiss I draw in between clenched teeth is loud and telling—desire coiled tight beneath my skin, straining against the leash of restraint I’m already letting slip.
Sharp Spanish whispers overlap my French sigh—two languages colliding, both of them sayingyes. Tongues, heat, and tangled breaths paint the space between us as I rub myself against his dick, groaning, moaning, panting?—
“Fuuuck, baby. Need to stop,” he suddenly warns, gripping my hips too tightly. The tips of his fingers dig into my skin. A tangle of unintelligible Spanish words slips past his lips.
I drop my head to his chest and breathe him in—the sharp spicy scent of sweat and skin. His heartbeat brushes against my lips as I suck a nipple. It’s so powerful, and I lower my head to rest fully over it, ear pressed to his chest. The steady thump echoes against my cheek—strong, grounding.
Reassuring.
I close my eyes and let it center me. In the way my sister’s heartbeat used to when we were kids. I trusted her. And now… I’m trusting him.
“God, Noah,” Gabriel hisses, cupping my face between his palms. He licks across my lips before I sit up and shimmy my ass over the tip of his leaking cock. He slips his palms underneath my ass. “We don’t have to?—”
“I want?—”
“Yes, baby. Okay,” Gabriel says, loosening his hold on me.
My hole flutters against his silky, blunt crown as I take position above him, knees squeezing his waist, and then realize?—
“Condom?” I breathe out, surprised that I’m actually going through with this. That I’m really going to trust him. He better move fast before I change my mind. Because, at the moment, my thoughts are quiet, and I don’t need them reminding me?—
“Don’t need one.” Gabriel lets out a stuttering breath. “I was tested… clear,” he says, voice tight, wired, breathless.
Okay. Good. That’s good. Me too.
Exhaling, I lower my hips as he pushes his fat tip against my entrance and?—
“Stop!” I scream as he slips past that tight ring of muscle.
He immediately stills.
“It’s okay, baby,” he murmurs, voice low, close. “Está bien.”
But it’snotokay.
My vision blurs. Everything stops—the movements, his moaning, the panting—everything. It’s like someone hit pause on the entire world.
