I sucked in a breath, then turned to Khush, carefully returning his daughter to him. Once he had her, I faced Keoni again, my heart racing in my chest. My mind was completely blank, but even so, I knew exactly what I wanted to say.
"I love you, too."
"Kiss! Kiss!" Dustin shouted from the side, and Silas joined in with a "Hell yeah!"
Keoni chuckled, then stepped closer. His hand slid to the back of my neck as he pulled me in, and then his lips were on mine, soft, warm, and so so right.
Since there were people around, Keoni kept the kiss chaste, and rested his forehead against mine when we separated.
"Thank you," I murmured, and he gave me a questioning look. "For loving me. I know I haven't made it easy."
"Trust me, Zephyr. Falling for you is the easiest thing I've ever done."
That made me kiss him again, and I only pulled back when someone shouted, "Get a room!"
"Come on," Keoni said as he took my hand, and then without a word to anyone else, he dragged me off, not to his place, but to mine.
"I know mine is closer, but I like yours better," he said as if he'd read my mind, and I glanced over at him as we hurried down the hallway.
"Do you want to move in with me?"
Keoni stumbled, then pulled me to a stop. "Are you serious?"
I nodded, and he grinned, then threw his arms around me in a tight hug. "Yes! Let's go back and get my stuff. I don't have a lot of things."
I chuckled as he pulled back, then glanced at the office door two steps away. "I thought you had some other plans."
Keoni glanced between the office and back the way we'd come, a conflicted look on his face, and I smiled as I leaned into him.
"I'm not going to change my mind."
"I know," he mumbled, then sighed. "Okay, I'll bring over my stuff later."
The disappointment in his voice made me wonder if I should've just gone back with him, but before I could say anything, he shook his head and continued walking.
We walked through the empty offices to my bedroom, and Keoni closed the door, flicking the lock into place. Not that anyone would try to come in. I was sure everyone in the Forest knew exactly what we were going to do. I didn't know how I felt about that.
"I was surprised," I said as he walked closer to me. "When you said it in front of everyone."
Keoni smiled, a tad sheepish as he slid his arms around my waist. "Well, I said some really mean things to you in front of everyone that day, so I felt like it was only fair to tell you I loved you the same way."
My heart felt like it would swell right out of my chest, and since I didn't know what to say, I leaned forward and kissed him instead.
Keoni's lips curved against mine as he kissed me back, his palms moving up and down my sides as he walked me backward toward the bed.
Nothing felt better than being touched by Keoni, and I had no idea how I'd gone so long without knowing what it felt like to be touched by someone who truly loved you. I was so grateful to have Keoni, and I planned to hold onto him for the rest of my life.
Keoni
"If there's such a thing as a dry orgasm, I just had one," I gasped out as I stared at the wall behind Zephyr with unseeing eyes.
After I'd made him come with my mouth, he'd spent the last thirty minutes lavishing my nipples with attention. He clearly got something out of it too, which just heightened the sensations even more for me.
I turned my gaze back to him, and found him watching me with a satisfied look on his face.
"Are you feeling smug, Zeph?" I asked as I brushed my hand down his front before cupping his spent cock.
Zephyr shivered, then shook his head, and I chuckled as I gave him a squeeze, then released him. He was so easy to tease, and I loved it.
