“Touch yourself, sugar. Rub that clit. Come on my cock.”

Her hand immediately moves between us, her fingers rubbing against her clit rhythmically, putting more pressure into my groin, and I groan, “That’s right. That’s my good girl.”

Her free hand moves around my shoulders, her hands sliding up until her fingers are tangled in the hair at the back of my head. She pulls, and I go willingly. My face pressed is between her breasts, and then I lick and suck a path to her nipple.

I suck urgently on one and then lick and bite a path to the other side, where I bite her nipple until she sobs, and then I lick and suck as she gasps. Her fingers stroke, rub, and pinch her clit, and I feel every movement against my pelvis as I continue to thrust up into her in long, hard pulses.

She’s chanting brokenly, begging and pleading for me not to stop, the sound of her voice sending sparks of lightning down my spine and directly into my balls.

I pull back, my arm around her hips firm as I continue to jackhammer up into her. My eyes scan up her body, reveling in the sight of her riding me with abandon. Her head is thrown back, her eyes once again squeezed shut, and the ball of emotion that erupts in my chest almost chokes me, but I manage to grit out, “Open your eyes. You open your fucking eyes and look at me.”

She immediately does what she’s told, her eyes opening, her head coming forward so she’s staring directly into my eyes as I whisper, “I love you.”

She blinks at me, confusion, surprise, and then awe showing along her features, and then she smiles and sobs, her hand in the back of my head tightening as she forces my head up, and thenshe’s kissing me feverishly, riding my cock and her hand as she gasps over and over and over again, “I love you. I love you. I love you.”

And then she comes.

She sobs into my mouth, earning an answering, guttural reply as my body tightens. Her body twitches, her pussy spasming as I thrust up into her forcefully.

She sobs and moans through her pleasure, grinding down her fingers on her clit, extending her pleasure, and then she says against my lips, “Come, baby. Come inside me. Mark me. Please.”

And I fucking come.

She sucks my pleasure from my mouth and my balls as I empty inside her, allowing myself this one last moment of pure bliss before we both step out into the complete unknown.

I thrust up inside her a few more times before finally, I still, and then we rest there with my dick still inside her, both of us trembling.

She wraps both arms around me, pressing my face into her neck, her breath hot on my ear as she repeats over and over, “Don’t let go. Don’t let go.”

I sit up, wrapping both of my arms around her back and pulling her as tightly to me as possible as I answer her plea.

“I’ll never let go.”

The Calm Before the Storm

Just as quickly asour moment began, it’s over.

And no sooner do we exit the bathroom than there’s a loud knock at the door.

Matt walks across the room, opens it a few inches, and speaks in a hushed tone to whoever is on the other side. A bundle of items is shoved through the crack, and he takes it and then shuts the door without further comment.

He walks back toward me, tossing the items on the bed and then stopping in front of me, his gaze intent as he says, “Are you ready for this?”

I frown, swallowing the lump in my throat before saying, “Don’t really have any other choice, do I?”

He cocks his head at me, a faint smile on his lips as he responds, “You always have a choice, sugar. But if you can manage it, if you can push through, then we get to see what’s on the other side of all the bullshit.”

He pauses, his lips pressing together, and then he steps in closer, so the front of his body is just brushing the front of mine. He stoops down so he’s looking directly into my eyes as he adds, “But if you can’t. I won’t judge you. I won’t take it personally, I won’t hold it against you, and I won’t punish you. Instead, we’ll find a way to get you out of it. I’ll make a call right now and have you out of here before they even realize what’s happening.”

“And what about you?”

Now, his smile is sad, and he shakes his head. “There’s no way out for me yet.”

“Yet?”
