“Cassian,” I say again, my voice breaking with desperation.

He looks up from where he’s been methodically driving me insane, his eyes locked onto mine.
“Please, Cassian. Please. I need more.” I say, my voice raw with need.
Something shifts in his expression. He moves back up my body, every inch of him dragging against every inch of me.
The eye contact intense, like he’s seeing straight through me.
“Show me what you need,” he says, his voice low and commanding.
So I do. I show him in explicit detail.
He reciprocates, his movements mirroring mine, deliberate and intense. Every touch, every kiss, every bite—designed to drive me wild.
Worth the wait of eleven years doesn’t even begin to cover it.

He’s different than I imagined. Better. Now that I have more time to appreciate him.
The sounds he makes — low and primal, completely uninhibited — are nothing like I’d pictured.
His hands know exactly what they’re doing, no instruction needed.
When I finally take him in my mouth, he says my name like a fucking prayer, over and over like he can’t stop himself.
"Ro—" His hands find my hair. "That mouth. Oh my God. Don't you dare stop. Don't—fuck, fuck, fuck—"
He pulls me up. Both hands on my face. His eyes on mine.
“I want to feel you again,“ he says. Low. Deliberate. “I want—" He swallows. “I’ve wanted you for so long I don’t know how to say it.”
“You don’t have to say it,” I tell him.

I pull him over me, guiding him exactly where I want him, watching his face as he pushes in slowly, filling me completely.
The sensation is intense, a mix of pleasure and pain that has me gasping.
His forehead drops to mine, both of us still, breathing each other in.
“Still okay?” he breathes.
“Yeah,” I manage to say. “Yeah, just—”
“I know,” he says. “Me too.”

He starts to move, and the world narrows down to this — his hands gripping my hips, his mouth finding my throat, the deep sounds he makes when I move with him.
He keeps saying my name over and over like it’s the only word he trusts himself with right now.
Like it’s the only word he knows.
