“I know, but he wasn’t thinking straight. He’s a very disturbed man, and somehow, in his messed-up thinking processes, it made sense to him even if we can’t understand it. It’s like Hawk said, you can’t attribute rational thinking to an irrational person.”

“I know, but I could’ve lost you today.”

“That’s true, Kitten, but we aren’t going to dwell on what could’ve happened. What we’re going to be is grateful. Grateful things worked out in our favor today. Grateful that nobody, including Don, died today. And most of all, grateful that we have each other. Do you know what my first thought was when I saw that bomb?”

He sat up and looked at me. “No, what?”

“That I’d only just found you, and I wasn’t ready to lose you. I love you, baby boy. So much, and I’m so fucking grateful I got to come home to you today.”

His breath caught, and his eyes got all glassy again. “You mean that? This isn’t just some trauma response or something? You really love me?”

“Kitten, I’ve known it for a while now. I was just afraid it was too soon to tell you. I didn’t want to scare you off. But today, I realized that I might not get the chance, and I wanted you to know how I felt.”

“I love you, too, Samuel. So much, and I’m with you. I’m grateful that we have each other, and I’m never going to let you go.”

“Like I’d ever want to go anywhere.”

I couldn’t believe this was actually happening. Samuel loved me. I sat up and swung one leg over his waist so that I was straddling him. Our eyes met and his lips quirked up in a grin.

“What are you doing, Kitten?”

“I was thinking. After a day like today, we have a lot to celebrate.”

He placed his hands on my hips and raised one eyebrow. “We do. Do you have any ideas how?”

I gripped his shoulders and rolled my hips. “A few maybe.”

“I like the way you think. Should we take this to the bedroom?”

“We could, or we could just stay right here.” It was only the two of us here, so it wasn’t like anyone would see us, but still, there was something so naughty feeling about riding him right here in the living room that gave me a little thrill.

I grabbed the hem of my shirt and slowly lifted it over my head. His eyes darkened and he slipped one hand up behind my head, pulling my mouth to his. We’d had sex many times at this point, but this felt different. More somehow. I guess because I knew that it wasn’t temporary; this was the real thing.

I tugged on his shirt, wanting it off. He lifted his arms so I could pull it over his head and then I ran my hands up through the coarse salt-and-pepper hair that covered his chest.

I rocked against him again, the feel of his hard length under me lighting me up.

“I want to ride you right here on the couch, but we don’t have supplies. This is never happening again. I’m about to stash lube all over this house.”

He chuckled and shook his head. “Well, I’m not going anywhere, so why don’t you go get what we need?”

I hopped up quickly and made a dash for the bedroom. I pulled open the drawer by the bed and grabbed the bottle of lube. Then I hurried back into the living room where Samuel was waiting, completely naked. I froze where a stood and looked at him.

“Fuck, Daddy. You are so sexy.”

He wrapped his hand around his erection and gave it a pump. “I’m glad you think so, but why don’t you come on over here and finish what you started?”

I licked my lips, trying to decide between dropping to my knees for him or climbing up on top of him and riding him. In the end, the need to be filled won out, and I quickly stripped off the rest of my clothes, tossing them on the couch beside him before getting back into position.

I popped open the lube and poured some into my hand. Then I gripped his cock and got it all nice and slick for me. I wasn’t one for pain most of the time, but today, I didn’t want to prep myself. I just wanted him deep inside me, stretching my hole.

I lined myself up and took a deep breath as I lowered myself down on him inch by inch. He dropped his hands back down on my hips and closed his eyes. “Fuck, Kitten. You feel so good.”

I trailed kisses down his throat, giving myself a minute to adjust. Then I started to move up and down. His cock slipped partway out of me and then slid back inside, over and over.
