Ian’s heart skipped.

“You were right. I’m possessive and I have never had this before. If you think that I’ll let you just leave me…you’re wrong. Call it what you want, but we’re not going our separate ways. I fight for what I want, and I’m ready to go to war for you.”

That did one thing.

It made Ian fall in love even more.

“I love you,” he admitted. “I love you so much, Gryphen, that if you walk away, or leave me, I’m not going to survive.”

And that was also something no one had ever said to him. Whenever he dated, as soon as this part of him surfaced, everyone ran.

That he wanted him…

Like this?

Yeah, his iciness defrosted at his words, and he was honest.

“I won’t leave you, Baby. I won’t ever leave you. We’re definitely a couple, and we’ll either fight or fuck our way through any issues. I promise.”

And that was a promise he needed to hear.

“I need you, my love.”

That was all he had to hear. Gryphen kissed him, and there was that tangle of tongues as they made out.

When Ian suddenly stopped, it made the bigger man moan in frustration.

“Killing me.”

Ian grinned.

“I will be,” he said, as he went back to tormenting Gryphen.

Laying back, the Marine stared at the ceiling, and enjoyed the blowjob.

The wet warmth of Ian’s mouth and the way his hand was working his dick…

Jesus.

This was nice.

And it was one more reason why Ian wasn’t going anywhere. Gryphen had begun to enjoy this connection with the man, and he wasn’t ending it.

As Ian’s head bobbed up and down Gryphen’s dick, he struggled to get him all the way down his throat. Gryphen was a big man, and his dick…

Well, it wasn’t small.

That was for damn sure.

As he choked on it, he felt Gryphen’s hand in the back of his hair, gently shoving him down his erection.

God.

He loved this.

Ian had never been with someone like Gryphen, and he knew he’d found his other half.

“Come on, Ian,” Gryphen whispered. “Swallow my cock,” he said, as the man did just that.
