Thought you guys should know.
I feelTalon roll over behind me to also check the messages. Then he groans and his message pops up on my screen.
Talon
Thanks, Rebecca. I’ll handle it.
It would have beennice to have hadoneday to bask in this new thing that Talon and I have without drama. It infuriates me that as soon as I feel safe, Derek pulls the rug out from under me again.
Propped on an elbow, Talon looks down at me.
“I won’t let him get to you, Zeke. And I know you’re not going to like it, but can youpleasestay home today?”
I know Talon has the power to fire me, suspend me, and forcefully keep me from the premises. But I also know he would never use his power against me like that, which is the only reason I agree without arguing.
“Yes. I’ll stay here.” I’d laugh at his shocked expression if I weren’t so pissed at the situation. His wide eyes make it clear he thought I’d put up a fight. “But will you promise to call me with updates if anything happens?” I add.
Talon nods, kisses my cheek, and rolls out of bed.
A minute later, I follow suit, padding into the kitchen to start the coffeemaker while he heads into the bathroom.
Once there’s enough coffee to make a full cup, I pour the hot liquid into a mug and capitalize on the chance to takehimcoffee for once. He answers immediately when I knock on the bathroom door.
“Come in,” I hear him call over the running water.
I mean to set the coffee mug on the counter and back away, but the shower doors are glass. And Talon is naked.
Hopping onto the counter next to the coffee mug, I smile.
“I could literally watch this all day.”
Talon cracks an eye open, smiles when he sees me staring, and goes back to rinsing his hair free of shampoo.
“I won’t stop you,” he says.
I’ve never met anyone like Talon. So sure of himself, yet humble. Smart and driven, but balanced enough to savor thequiet moments. A lover of peace, but a warrior who won’t hesitate to pick up the sword when necessary.
He finishes his shower and towels himself dry before securing the towel around his waist as he steps out of the shower.
As soon as he’s within arm’s reach, I flick the knot at his hip, making the towel fall from his body.
“Oops,” I tease with a shrug, biting the inside of my cheek to keep from smiling.
I’m not familiar with this playful side of myself. It’s not a part of my personality I’ve had the luxury of developing or even noticing, for that matter. It’s light and enjoyable, and I’m grateful beyond words that Talon brings it out of me.
“Get your fill, baby,” he replies, wagging his hips back and forth. The movement makes his dick smack his thighs, and I laugh with glee…until he starts to get hard.
Suddenly, it’s not so funny anymore as desire courses through me.
Reaching a hand forward, the weight of him settles into my palm. I gently tug him forward by his dick so he moves closer.
“How much time do you have?” I ask breathlessly.
“As much time as you want,” he answers without missing a beat.
“Can we try something?” I ask hesitantly, knowing this might not go as planned, but also not wanting to waste the opportunity if my body is telling me it wants this.
“Anything,” Talon says, looking down into my eyes.
