Epilogue
Wraith
A year later
“You look soimportant up there in your suit.”
Pax chuckles as he cuddles in next to me in bed. We’ve been watching sports highlights from last night’s game, where he commented for the first time. “Yeah, yeah. I don’t like it.”
“No?”
“It’s such an ego thing. All of us sitting up there, past our primes, judging the guys still busting ass on the ice. I don’t have the personality for it and I don’t like being on TV.”
“But you look good doing it.”
“Because that matters,” he says.
“But you always look good, so I guess that’s not special.”
“You don’t have to butter me up, Wraith. I’m a sure thing.”
“Not buttering you up, gorgeous. Just speaking the truth.”
“You’re talking too much this morning. Maybe your mouth has been empty for too long.”
That comment makes me snort a laugh. “Got any ideas for how to fill it?”
“A couple, yeah.”
Pax rolls on top of me, closing the distance between us and pressing our lips together. I slide my hands down his body to his ass, squeezing roughly the way he likes it. In fact, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve really taken him apart the way I used to when we first met. That could be fun.
“I was thinking of something else I could fill,” I whisper before gently biting his bottom lip.
“Oh yeah? What’s that?”
“Your slutty little hole.”
Pax groans, bucking his hips against me. “Fuck yes.”
“You want that? You want my cock inside you?”
“Please.”
I flip us over easily so I’m on top, then lean in close, breathing the same breath as him. “Ask me for it. I love when you ask for my cock.”
“Please, Wraith. Please put your cock inside my slutty hole. Wreck it. Make it hurt.”
“Mmm, fuck,elskede.I want to please you over and over.”
He nods, cupping my face. “You do.”
As I attack his mouth again, my thoughts wander back over the past year. It astonishes me every time I stop to think about it.
We split our time between his place and Crestvale House, but lately, we’ve been here at the house more often. He’s grown comfortable around my brothers, which warms my heart. The biggest shift though is him accepting Boone joining us. He’s not in hit man mode though. He’s our new strategist, helping us with some of the more complex jobs. He’s also partnered with Whisper for a lot of intel. Pax tells me he’s happy Boone has found his place, and that he always knew it would be non-traditional.
He’s become more comfortable with understanding my work too. He doesn’t want details, but he does want me to know he supports me. He’s the love of my life, and I’m his. I never even imagined this for myself, but it’s incredible.
“Fuck me,” he murmurs. “Fuck me hard,morder.”
