I slammed the bag again with a grunt.

Fuck him and his lies. He confused me.

What had I expected from a damn richasshole? For him to come out of that damn closet and take me as aboyfriend? Me? WTF? Why the hell would I want that anyway?

The asshole did something to me. Tugged atsomething that hadn’t existed before and unraveled it.

Ugh.I pulled off my gloves,unwrapped my hands, and ignored the stinging pain inside of me. Ihad given him space in my head rent free as if he were mine,because that had been what I wanted at the time. To be inside ofhim. It had to be the weed Jack gave me. It had to have been spikedwith something that made me horny as fuck and not care that Ifucked a dude. And long lasting because we actually hadn’t fuckeduntil the morning after.

I jumped in the shower and scrubbed myselfraw. When I came out, Kieran stood leaning against my dresser in atowel hung low on his hips, his impressive, ripped body on display.I inhaled sharply, surprised by how seeing him made me feel.

The guy was beautiful. Ripped muscles andpale skin contrasting his dark hair. Those arresting green eyesheld me in place. It took me a moment to remember Marley.

I crossed my arms over my chest. “Where’syour girlfriend?”

He cocked his head slightly. A slow smirklifted one corner of his lips. “Jealous?”

My cock twitched and I realized we werewearing the same thing. Just a towel. “Fuck you. I don’t likeseconds. Get out of my room.”

He quickly narrowed the gap between us andmy whole body anticipated the heat of his touch. Even before hetouched me, I burned for it. I hated this shit. My body’s reactionto him. He cupped my face, his fingers in my hair, and I savoredthe touch, leaned into it. My body submitting. I’d even dropped myhands to my sides, the fight leaving me. I was pathetic.

“Nothing happened between us,” he whispered.“I left her with Fox.”

“I saw you kiss her near your car before youleft.”

“It was only for appearances. I’msorry.”

Did he just say I’m sorry? And he soundedlike he meant it. I wanted him to mean it so much it hurt my heart.I lifted my hands and grazed the side of his torso. He trembledunder my touch. “I don’t share,” I said, needing to make thisclear.

“I don’t either,” he said.

“Don’t do that again,” I said.

“I won’t.”

I believed him. And when he kissed me, Iallowed him to take what he wanted. The kiss. My body. My heart.The kiss deepened, turned feral and so right. His hands wereeverywhere, until they settled behind my head.

I ripped the towel away from him and ran mypalm along his hard length. The smooth, velvet shaft pulsed undermy touch. He moaned into my mouth. I wanted to rip more sounds fromhis throat. I wanted him to call my name. I wanted to own his body.Whatever he’d give me.

He pushed me to the bed and I dropped downon it. Then he climbed over me, our dicks between us. Awkward, butso good. “Kieran, what happened to this being a one and donehookup?” I asked, to be an asshole.

“Fuck it,” he said, affirming things betweenus. “You drive me crazy. I can’t stop thinking about you. Aboutthis.” He thrust his hips so that our dicks grinded together. Sofucking good. I opened my legs to give him better access. “Let me?”he asked. He sounded unsure, giving me control and shattering meall at the same time. This evil and wonderful man who made me feelsafe, special, wanted.

“Yes,” I answered, not even sure what I wassaying yes to. I trusted him enough to give him back control, togive in to him.

He explored my body with tender kisses,taking me all in with his eyes, his hands, his lips. I’d never feltso vulnerable, exposed. He ran kisses along my neck, licked andnipped my nipples. I jerked at the overwhelming sensation of itall. My dick leaking. He ran kisses down my torso, my stomach,nuzzled into my pubes, and licked my shaft.

“Kieran.” His name fell off my lips like atender touch. “Please.” I didn’t even know what I was begging for.I jerked my hips up, seeking friction.

“Let me look at you,” he said as he kneltbetween my legs.

My pulse quickened as he spread me wider,his green eyes exploring my dick, as he ran his hand smoothly upand down, collecting some of the precum on his fingers. He touchedmy balls, lifted them, and ran his fingers down my taint. Itrembled at the touch. Then he spread my cheeks wider, his eyesdarkened, his breathing deep.

He lubed his fingers and pressed against myhole. My heart wouldn’t stop its rapid beating against my chest.Sweat collected on my brow. I’d never been so nervous in my life. Iclenched. “Kieran, I don’t know if I can…” I couldn’t even say it.I didn’t know if I could bottom. It’d leave me vulnerable and … and… I didn’t want to think about anything else but him. But I’d neverfelt safe before. Fighting had been ingrained in me for so long, Ididn’t know how to let go and trust anyone.

I shut my eyes hard.

I felt Kieran shift over me. “Hey,” he said,his voice full of concern. “Tomás, look at me,” his voice turnedhard but not cold.
