Page 159 of Goodbye Note

A glint sparked in his eyes that matched the sea today. “I’d kiss you if I could.”

“I can see it written on your face.”

The immense amount of love in our little moments of intimacy would stay with me to the grave.

We walked back toward the house, slower this time. The sun hit the highest place in the sky, making it warm. Sweat prickled at my skin, and I needed a nap after the miles of walking.

There were more people out. Not a ton, but we did cross some paths. We kept our heads down, always quiet until they passed.

“What are we going to do if there are pictures of us here?”

“Probably say we are friends. The same line they’ve used before. John and I had a good talk about it before I left. There is nowhere on earth we can go that is totally empty. It doesn’t exist. We just have to be careful in public spaces.”

“I hope Kiernan understands that.”

“I think he and John had a conversation.”

“Good.” Our shoulders brushed as he entered the gate code to the property.

“Are you ready for a nap?” I asked, knowing he probably wouldn’t sleep, but my body could not keep up with fucking all night and then running around all day like him.

“Only if by sleep you mean your dick in my mouth.”

I groaned. “You’re incorregible.”

“You’ll sleep better after an orgasm.” Arik stopped at the little foot sprayer next to the deck to rinse his feet.

I did the same before we headed inside. “Wouldn’t you rather fuck me to sleep?” I figured that with the shiny new toy unlocked between us, that’s all he’d want to do.

“What do you want?” He stopped in the kitchen, getting us both glasses of water.

“You.” I took the glass with a thank you.

“How do you want me?” he asked.

Every possible way. “You tell me.”

“No. I told you what I wanted last night. I want to know how you’ve fantasized about us.”

I didn’t have to think about it. I’d already imagined it a million times. “I want you to fuck me from behind.”

Heat crept up his neck. “What about from behind turns you on?”

“How deep you can get. I want to feel you in every part of me.” My breath caught. “You can be more aggressive.”

“Do you like aggressive?”

I nodded, setting my glass aside before hooking my thumbs in my sweats to drag them lower, exposing neatly trimmed hair. “Yes.” We’d never talked about our kinks after that initial conversation so long ago. “Do you?”

“I can’t imagine a way I wouldn’t like you.” He stalked over.

I matched him step for step backward. “What are you going to bend me over?”

“I don’t know…”

Rail me into the mattress?

“Anything you want?”
