“This is going to be over before it begins.” He pulls out and presses back in.
“Liar. You won’t stop until I come.”
“No. I won’t,” he agrees as he starts to move faster inside of me. His eyes stay locked on mine. It feels like he is staring right into my soul, seeing things I would never want anyone to see. As scary as it is, it’s freeing, too. I want to share this connection with him and only him.
“Cato.” I breathe out his name, feeling the orgasm as it begins to come down hard. I suddenly feel so vulnerable, knowing that no one else has ever seen this side of me. That I’ve never allowed anyone to get so close to me.
“I’ve got you, Apollonia. Let go. Give yourself to me. I want it all.” He kisses me. I cry out his name as the orgasm takes me. I close my eyes as so many emotions roll through me. I keep on coming; it feels as if it’s never ending. I don’t want it to end. At this moment I feel at peace. As if I’m no longer alone in the world.
Cato’s whole body goes tight as I feel him come deep inside of me. He pulls his mouth from mine, burying his face in my hair. I feel more of his warmth spill inside of me as he jerks against me, saying my name over and over again like a prayer. I cling to him, never wanting to let go. If only I could stay here forever. If only things were different.
I can’t, though. Soon he will pull from me and life will come rushing back in. The only thing I’ve done is make myself more vulnerable. Now, there’s more to lose than ever.
