“Are you alright?” he asks.
I nod frantically. “Keep going.”
His forehead presses against mine, our eyes locked, and he slowly thrusts into me, deeper and deeper every time.
“Move with me,” he says, the words heavy with his breath.
It takes a few tries to match his rhythm, but once I do, pleasure surges through me with every rock of our hips. I cling to him as our breaths unite, accelerating with his every thrust.
All traces of pain subside, his momentum rolling through me, drawing cry after cry from my lips, and he breathes in each one. I can’t get enough of him, my fingers clutching so fiercely they hurt.
This is everything I never knew I wanted. This ecstasy, this feeling of oneness. With him.
With a sharp, sudden thrust, Caeo stops, his eyes sparking with a matching grin.
“Ready to scream for me?”
My core tightens. “What?”
He hooks his arms under my knees, pushing my legs toward my chest. I see stars with his next thrust, tears forming in my eyes as he drives into me, so hard, so deep, picking up his pace. I’m wailing between ragged breaths as pleasure builds to a crescendo, twisting tighter and tighter and tighter.
Just as it becomes too much to bear, everything shatters in a blinding rush. A final cry rips out of me as my body spasms, then I turn into jelly as pure relief washes over me.
Caeo continues thrusting until a shudder ripples through him, and he cries out as he spills himself within me. He collapses, and my core throbs as he pants against my neck, still buried inside me. It’s impossible to know where he ends and I begin.
I bring my hand to his face, toying with his sweaty hair as the candlelight flickers in his exhausted eyes. Something flutters in my heart. An awakening, a closeness I’ve never felt before. The steady warmth floods my entire body, crashing through me like a wave, and the words spill out before I can stop them.
“I love you.”
My chest tightens, suddenly unsure—is that really what this is, or just what I want it to be?It feels too soon. Almost unnaturally so. But then Caeo’s eyes gleam as he breathes out a smile.
“I love you, too.”
An almost magical tingle spreads through me. “I could stay like this forever.”
“Your legs might start to hurt.”
As if that were their cue, my thighs tremble, aching where they meet my pelvis. I groan, and Caeo laughs, kissing me again before rolling away with a matching grumble. Scooting against the wall to make room for him, I rest my head on his shoulder and my hand on his chest, watching it move up and down as his breathing slows.
“I don’t want to forget this.”
Caeo rests his hand on mine and gives it a tight squeeze.
“Then I’ll stay, for as long as you’ll let me.”
Chapter 16
Caeo
“Caeo, it’s time to wake up.” Ellie’s voice is gentle, as are the fingers stroking my cock.
My eyes snap open to her beautiful face, tousled brown hair catching the sunlight from the open window, with golden strands glowing among the crumpled flowers of last night’s hairdo. Memories flood me, glimmering with a steady heat.
She loves me. Ellie loves me, and nothing could diminish the happiness filling every ounce of my body.
My cock twitches beneath her touch, and her lips tighten in a sheepish grin.
“You were already a little… stiff when I woke up.” She’s wrapped in a sheet, propped on one elbow, still completely naked underneath.
