Page 104 of Something So Strong

Sitting on the floor, I lean against the desk and check the time. With only two hours until I’m due to be awake anyway, I know I can stay up.

He needs me to.

My eyes flicker open.

Fuck, I fell asleep!

Sunlight is creeping in from the side of the faded curtains, bringing an appearance of warmth to the room in contrast to the harsh coldness of the bathroom’s fluorescent bulbs.

Stirring, I move my head against one of Kai’s hoodies that I used as a pillow.

It’s my own fault. I should never have laid down in the first place.

Rolling onto my back, I squeeze my eyes shut and stretch out my limbs. My bare back cracks against the fuzzy carpet tiles as the tension of sleep releases from my muscles.

A small grin pushes my lips to one side as soft touch circles my belly button.

Blinking, my eyes focus on Kai. He’s on his stomach, his other hand resting beneath his cheek. Under the hair strewn across his forehead, I can see his eyebrow is swollen, but it does little to detract from how fucking gorgeous he is.

“Thanks.” He smiles down at me.

“Don’t… I’m sorry I fell asleep.”

“It’s fine.” His hand rises to lightly ghost over his wound. “It’s not the first time… Guess you’ll be working with Esther again today.”

“I might have to get you to punch me so I can have a day off.”

“I’d never do anything to ruin that pretty face.” Kai’s drags his fingernails over my jaw. “You’re a nice view to wake up to.”

“Something you could get used to?”

“Maybe.”

“I was going to tell Romeo about you last night, but—”

“Don’t stress over it,” Kai dismisses as he slinks off the bed—naked.

Kneeling between my legs, in all of his damaged and tattooed perfection, he pushes down to rub his nose into the small hollow at the base of my chest.

I run my hand through brown and faded blue. “Don’t even think about kissing me until you’ve brushed your teeth.”

His eyes raise to meet mine. “That wasn’t the direction I was planning on going,” he tells me, kissing south over my abs as they flex beneath his lips.

Not stopping at my sweatpants, he kisses lower over my thickening cock. Then, his lips part, and he nips at me through the fabric before dipping his hand inside.

“Fuck. This thing looks even better close up,” he says with me in hand—pulling back my foreskin. “God, you’re already dripping for me.” His deep breath puffs against the head of my cock and beats all the way to my chest as he laps at the beads of pre-come.

I shudder, “Y-you know you don’t have to do that.”

Kai presses a lazy kiss against the top of my dick and leaves his lips there as he says. “I thought it’s what you wanted.”

“I do, but—” I stutter, my mind swimming with the pleasure of his hand as he twists his wrist up and down.

“I guess it’s my way of asking you to be my boyfriend.”

I don’t have a chance to respond, because the second the words leave his lips, Kai licks from between my balls, all the way up my shaft, and takes me into his warm mouth.

Chin pressed to my chest, I watch his juicy lips stretch around the head of my cock as he draws back. His expert tongue circles my crown before taking me in further, and repeating. Each time welcoming me deeper until his throat is fighting back. Squeezing with every punch.
