Page 80 of Mine to Keep

I sighed. “You don’t know that.” I leaned closer. “We have no idea what this person is capable of.”

Nick held my face in his hands, his eyes like fire. “They have no idea what I am capable of, Matt. If they touch you again, they will live to regret it…The only saving grace they will have is that their life won’t last very long.”

“Oh, Nick.” I turned and kissed his palm. “Don’t tell me things like that.”

“You need to understand, Matt. I won’t lose you. I will burn the world down for you.”

I smiled, warmth blooming in the pit of my stomach. “Careful there, Nick. It almost sounds like you might love me.”

“Well, that’s because I do.”

I stared at him, really looked. “What?”

“Strange, right?” He released my face and laughed. “I don’t know when it happened, but when you said that just now, I knew.”

“Have…have you ever been in love?”

“If it feels like this, never.” His gaze met mine. “The thought of you not here, though, not with me, in this life? I can’t imagine anything more horrifying.”

This man. I pushed forward and took his mouth, kissing all my love into him, hoping he’d feel it before I told him. He wrapped his arms and legs around me, and it was as if we were one being. The perfect moment tucked away within the chaos.

“I love you too, Nick,” I panted into his skin.

Nick had to go to Greg’s, but we had time and we weren’t going to waste a second of it.

We stumbled out of the tub, barely drying ourselves off as we tumbled onto his bed, all limbs and tongues. It was as if neither of us wanted to let a hair between us. He pressed his cock against mine, and a spark of lust shot through me.

“I need you,” I begged. If Nick didn’t fuck me, I was sure to fall apart.

He reached into his nightstand and pulled out lube and a condom.

“No.” I covered the condom. “We were both tested; we don’t need this.”

“You’re sure?”

I grinned at Nick; his kind eyes were shining at me. “I’m sure.”

He rolled me so that I was under him and grabbed the lube as he kissed down my chest right to where my very hard cock was praying for attention…He was a multitasker for sure.

I arched off the bed as he took me in his mouth. “Yes,” I hissed, loving the way he knew exactly how to touch me. I’dhad sex before…plenty of it, but with Nick it was different. We connected in a way I’d never had with anyone else.

Slick fingers pushed inside me and I gripped the sheets, holding on for fear I’d fly away. Nick’s hand rested on my stomach, holding me down when I arched up…I felt him everywhere. My body was singing and when I was about to beg for more, he lifted up so his face was hovering over mine, smiled sinfully, and slowly slid his cock inside me.

“You feel amazing,” he moaned.

“Fuck me, Nick.”

He didn’t hesitate. He pulled back and slammed into me relentlessly as if he were chasing more than just an orgasm, as if this release would fix the world. I was sure we were loud, but I didn’t care. I wanted to stay in this moment, in this feeling, forever.

I came with a shout and Nick followed a few thrusts later. Neither of us moved, just breathed and held each other until our bodies calmed down.

“I think the whole house heard us.” I chuckled.

“Nah, the rooms are soundproofed.” He lifted up and grinned. “We all got tired of listening to Shep and JJ.”

I laughed…and damn, it felt good.

“So Gabe isat Greg’s. I think it would be smart if someone parks outside,” Angel said as he scooped a heaping amount of mashed potatoes onto his plate.
