I dropped my head against the wall and Clara took a deep breath. “I’m sorry, Bennett. If it helps, he was ready. He loves you and I know he felt how rare and special your connection was. I don’t know if he realized what it meant, he never told me if he did. He probably thought it’s what love felt like when there weren’t drugs in everyone’s system.”

I closed my eyes, struggling to breathe. “The only thing that’s going to help me now is seeing him open his eyes. I just need to know that he’s going to be okay.”

“He will be,” Clara said confidently. “The only way you can get through this is if we believe in him. He’s a fighter, and he’s not going to leave you. You need to believe that.”

“God, I hope you’re right,” I said, dropping my head onto my knees as we cried together.

Chapter Eight

Felix

April: Two Months Ago

My dick has never been harder. It would be inappropriate to stroke myself in the middle of the street, right?

Watching Bennett fix my car was the singular most erotic experience of my life. I had no clue what he did under the hood after we got back to my car with the parts he needed, but he wiped his brow with his T-shirt, flashing me his abs three times; his biceps flexed during the repair no less than six times; and when he slid out of the driver’s seat of my car after he’d jumped it and started it with a satisfied smile, I threw myself at him.

I literally launched myself through the air and ended up in his arms. And like the fucking sex hero he was, he wrapped me in his arms and pulled me against him as he kissed me and groaned with a rumble in his chest that vibrated my entire body.

“I want you,” I said. “Now.”

He smiled against my lips as I pawed at him. “Don’t you want to go to lunch first?”

“Lunch is the last thing I want. We can order in after the sex.” I grabbed the back of his head, keeping his lips against mine.

“I want more than sex with you,” he said, setting my feet back on the ground.

“I know, but we’ve already had how many almost dates at the bar? Thirty?”

“Twenty-six. I’ve been to see you twenty-six nights at the bar.”

“More than enough. Please,” I said. “You look so sexy that I might just blow a load in my pants from continuing to stare at you while you work.”

He grabbed my face with both hands. “I will never be able to say no to anything you want from me, Felix.”

“Then take me inside and give me what I want, alpha.”

He took a step back, turned off the car, and gestured toward the house. “Lead the way.”

I gripped his hand and pulled him along behind me, kicking my shoes off as soon as we’d crossed the threshold. I pointed to the kitchen and living room on the right. “This is my apartment, bedroom is this way,” I said, dragging him to the hallway on the left. He laughed and inhaled deeply through his nose.

“Fuck, I can smell how bad you want this, handsome.” He grabbed his dick and squeezed.

“For once, I like that very much,” I said, his reaction only increasing my confidence. At this point, it was more than clear Bennett wanted me, but his visible desperation was still an added confidence boost.

I turned around and stepped into him when we entered the bedroom. He pulled my shirt over my head and tossed it aside as he walked me backward toward the bed. I pulled at the hem of his shirt, and he lifted his arms for me, letting me take it off in between kisses.

“My God,” I said, practically moaning at the sight of Bennett’s chest and abs. “You’re a fucking dream.”

Slick leaked out of me and my dick ached, pressing against my jeans. Bennett inhaled sharply before pulling me against him and scenting my neck again. “Mine,” he growled.

Oh, he is definitely a possessive motherfucker.

“You’re going to make me permanently smell like you if you keep that up,” I teased, arching into his touch.

“Good.” He kissed along my neck and down my chest, stopping as he noticed the piercing on my right nipple. He flicked his tongue over it and I moaned.

“Oh, I really like this,” he said, looking up at me as he gently pulled the barbell between his teeth. He flicked his tongue over my nipple. “Any other fun surprises?” He looked down at my dick with a smirk.
