“Look at me.”

A guttural rumble answers me, and he locks his eyes on mine.

I have a hard time concentrating on the movements I must do. It’s too good. His hands come back to my ass, up my back, down my chest and stomach. Kai caresses me with a softness that amazes me compared to the speed I fuck him. His hands leave an incandescent and shivering trace that makes me open my mouth to drink the air.

Every breath, sigh, complaint, and grunt blends until I can no longer distinguish who they belong to.

I give myself at a merciless pace, my body moving on autopilot. Kai stares at me without blinking, but I see all the restraint of the world in his eyes.

Is that what it means to have a man by the balls?

I spread my thighs wider to take him deeper, even if I lose speed.

“You’re going to be the death of me,” he says with shining eyes.

“Perfect,” I whisper against his lips. “I can bring you back to life.”

We kiss and laugh, our moans blending as everything becomes a blur. Something primal inside me roars to be unleashed, like a wild beast that has been held in a cage for too long. Its claws make their way into my insides, destroying everything in their path to see the light of day. An animal impulse drives me, and I lose coordination.

The impending explosion warms my insides of an unbearable inferno. My movements become frenetic and violent, and Kai can only hang on to my hips. My muscles tighten, and I speed up, both hands anchored to his stomach to hold myself.

His thighs are so tense under mine that they hurt. I no longer exist. My body takes control, and I simply feel.

Kai’s fingers will leave marks on my skin, but I don’t care.

Right now, it feels like I could die from this overwhelming pleasure, yet somehow, I know that won’t happen. And so, I give in completely and let everything fall apart around us.

“Marianne… ah… fuck…”

My head pushes itself back, and I scream as my body releases, once again, an agonizing tension. My lungs collapse on themselves; my skin runs over my flesh, my muscles stretch to the extreme, my head catches fire, and my heart explodes. I continue to thrust gently, and our eyes meet as Kai comes.

He sits under me and fists my hair to kiss me. I slow only when he squirms in pain. My arms tie around his neck as he lifts my head with his nose to lick my throat and bite. Finally, I stop. I’m out of breath but undoubtedly satisfied. Kai is a damn sex bomb, even underneath. His firework gaze never shifted off me.

The sound of our calming breaths fills the room for a few minutes.

Still trying to catch his breath, Kai mumbles, “You’re unreal, love.”

I can’t run away anymore. Not when Kai covers me with kisses as I catch my breath. I’m crazy about him. About his rough hands caressing me with incredible softness. His erratic breathing against my skin. His firm body squeezes me too hard. His eyes were wet by the intensity of our lovemaking.

My hand grabs his hair, and I devour his mouth until he moans again. I don’t want to fight myself anymore. I’m sick of it.

“Kai?”

“Yeah?”

“Tell me you’re mine.”

Kai freezes; his eyes flash with surprise, quickly masked by a smoky desire. “Yours,” he affirms in a quivering breath, his hands tracing the curve of my spine.

I shiver, an echo of our shared pleasure still vibrating through my muscles.

“Say it again,” I whisper against his skin, unable to resist the urge.

He tilts my face to meet his fiery eyes, and I find myself mesmerized by the raw emotion swimming within their depths. “You have all of me, Marianne. Always.”

I lean into his ear for the dramatic effect and hide my crimson face to say such a thing. “I love you.”

An unknown sniff escapes from his nose, and his muscles stiffen.
