Finally,his eyes focus on me.
“Yes.God, yes. I’m sorry. You and I are okay. We’re better than okay,” he says, stepping out of his pants and into the shower. “But the articles will grow. The one that printed first is from a reputable source andusuallysticks to the facts. The problem is that others aren’t and won’t. By the end of the week, you’ll be sixteen and my second cousin that I’ve been grooming for years.”
I snort, squeezing shampoo into my hands.
“But that’s such a blatant lie. No one will believe that.”
“You’d be surprised how much damage those blatant lies can do. It’s not just me they’ll put under the microscope. It’s my sister, my brother, our parents,you…the company.”
I think about that for a second.
Soon, I’ll be on my way to meet his entire family, andthisis what we have to discuss?
“Fuck. Your family will never accept this, Talon. They’ll never acceptme.I’m nobody. I come from nothing. I have nothing to bring to the table, and now I’m the reason you’re going through this.”
Nausea swirls in my belly, and dizziness forces me to the bench seat.
Talon’s hands land on my shoulders half a second later.
“You bringyourself,which is more than enough. You never cared about my name or my money. You have dreams and goals outside of making the society pages and vacationing on yachts. The things you want, money can’t buy, and that makes me feel wanted, needed, and loved. That makes thisreal.No matter what happens, Zeke, I’m choosing you. I just hate that ever since we met, we haven’t had a moment’s peace.”
“That’s not true. Last night was peaceful,” I argue, dropping to the shower seat and wrapping my hands around the backs of his thighs, burying my face in the short, wet hair above his dick.
“Maybe we can recreate it before we go,” Talon says.
Arching a brow, I look up at him.
“Ten minutes ago, you looked like someone shot your dog. One minute ago, you were ready toshootwhoever shot your dog, andnowyou want to fool around?”
He grabs my hands and moves them up to his ass.
“Ten minutes ago, I was ready to burn the world down to protect you. One minute ago, you reminded me that as long as we’re together, the world can burn eternally. AndnowI want to be yours again in that way we discovered last night.”
“Aren’t you sore?”
“Not really. You took extremely good care of me, and I trust you to do it again.”
Talon reaches around me for the bottle of lube on the inset shower shelf, pours some into his hands, and passes it to me.
While I’m wondering what he needs it for, he drops to his knees on this hard shower floor and takes hold of my cock, causing a hiss to leave my lips and my back to sit up straighter.
“Fuck, I love when you touch me,” I tell him.
Talon uses both hands on me, pressing kisses to my inner thighs as he jerks me off, making my dick hard under his hands.
As mydick swells, his does too, as the water continues beating down on us both.
“Can I ride you right here?” he asks.
“I don’t know that I’ll have much leverage that way, but if you want to fuck yourself on my cock, I’m certainly not going to stop you,” I tell him, proud of myself for remembering a single word in the English language.
I lube my fingers and start making demands.
“Turn around. Hands on the wall. Ass out.”
His dick bobs at the commands, making me smile.
Talon juts his perfect ass toward me, and I treat it like the treasure it is. The treasureheis, his trust is, his love is.
