Big amber eyes gazed up at Killian, warm and wet and terrified. A mirror of Killian’s own. “You’re not.”
Kade smiled, and then did the damndest thing, he leaned in and pressed soft lips against Killian’s.
It was a chaste thing, their first kiss, barely a brush. Hesitant and slow, much like the build up of what they were.
Killian whimpered embarrassingly.
Pulling back, Kade said, “Ididn’t get that wrong, did I? That would be embarrassing.”
Killian laughed, breathless and awed. He was helpless not to. “Mortifying.” And then he pulled Kade back in.
Kissing Kade was everything that Killian had ever imagined and so much more.
They fit perfectly.
If Killian died right then and there, he’d die happy.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Killian wrapped his arms around Kade’s waist and hauled him closer, as if they weren’t already plastered together. He nuzzled into Kade’s neck, hiding. “Gods, I’m so in love with you.” To be able to say that out loud was a weight off of his chest.
“Took you long enough.”
Kade held Killian close and they stayed there for a long time.
“I hated it,” breathed Kade. “Seeing you with him. I’ll never forgive you for that.”
“Don’t.” Killian pulled back so he could look into Kade’s eyes. “Never forgive me.” A thought came to his mind. “How much did you see?”
Inhaling sharply, Kade’s eyes dropped to Killian’s lips. “Too much.”
“Dirty,” Killian teased with a wobbly grin. “Did you enjoy the show? How was my performance?”
Kade swallowed and Killian followed the movement down his throat with his fingertips. Dizzy with the knowledge that he was allowed to touch freely.
“You’re mine now,” Kade whispered, amber eyes blazing. “You don’t get to fuck whores when you’re mine.”
“I already said Loran’s not a whore.”
Kade shoved Killian away with an annoyed huff. Not in the mood for teasing.
Killian caught Kade and pulled him back in. He was elated. His smile was wicked, sharp canines on display. “I thought of you. Obviously.”
“Obviously.”Kade snapped his teeth. “Never again. Promise me.”
“Never.” It was the easiest promise Killian would ever keep.
Swallowing down Kade’s small sound of surprise, Killian groaned. They moved together. Kade’s lips were soft and plush and a bit hesitant, showing his inexperience.
There was a twinge in the back of Killian’s mind, a thoughtthat negged him. He wondered who else had Kade in this way, got to feel him like this.
Aware of how hypocritical it was, Killian hated the very thought of it. He wanted to scream. He wanted names so he could hunt them down. Kill them.
Hands drifting over Kade’s waist, gripping onto his hips, Killian walked them backwards, guiding them through the room towards the bed.
“Wait. I have to change the…” Killian trailed off. The bed was pristine. Very much not how he’d left it, sheets crumpled and used from when he’d laid with Loran. He looked at Kade, confused.
“I had hopes,” said Kade simply.
Killian laughed, loud and free and happy.
