Page 72 of Finn's Solace

"I don't completely feel like myself," I confessed, and he shook his head.

"This is you, Finn. It's you when you stop trying to keep parts of yourself separate from each other, and I love it. I loveyou," he corrected, his blue eyes warm and so full of love it made my eyes tear up.

"I love you too," I murmured like it was the biggest confession I'd ever made, which it might as well be.

Levi smiled, brighter and more beautiful than I'd ever seen him, and I leaned down to kiss him again as I started prepping myself, my cock brushing against his and making us both hiss.

Levi's tongue slid into my mouth, mimicking the way he'd fuck me as soon as I was ready, and I moaned as I added another finger, moving my hips and slowly rocking onto my fingers and against his cock.

When I felt ready, I pulled my fingers out and wrapped them around his length, giving it a squeeze.

"Fuck me, Levi," I murmured, and his eyes blazed bright as he pulled back.

With a single move, he flipped us, placing me slowly onto the ground. The dirt was soft under me, and I could feel his magic in it. It made me feel like he was holding me himself, and I gazed up at him as I sank my fingers into the dirt, eager to let him do with me as he pleased.

I spread my legs, and Levi's eyes roamed over me as he settled between them, wrapping his aloe-covered hand around his length and coating himself with it.

"You look downright edible, Gin," Levi murmured, and even after everything we'd done together over the past few months, my cheeks heated up at his words. "I hope you never stop reacting like this."

I rolled my eyes, and Levi grinned, then positioned the head of his cock at my entrance. I gave him a nod, and he slid in with a soft grunt.

I moaned as I felt him penetrate me and spread me wide open, loving the way he made me feel. I didn't want him to ever slide out of me, and I wrapped my legs and arms around him to make sure he wouldn't.

Levi's arms slid under my shoulders as he held me to him, and then he started moving, fucking me with slow, deep thrusts that pressed against my prostate every single time.

After the hurried start, it felt strange to get fucked—no, to make love with Levi, but that was exactly what we were doing. Slow, sweet, gentle expression of the love we'd just confessed to each other.

I'd never had sex with anyone else like this, and I didn't think I could've, no matter how I felt about them.

Only Levi could make me feel like this, only Levi could make me feel safe and secure enough to allow myself to experience this.

"I love you," I murmured, and realized my voice was thick, like I was about to cry.

Levi noticed it too, and he brushed his lips over my cheeks before gently kissing my lips. "I love you too, Finn. So damned much."

Our eyes stayed locked as Levi moved, rocking into me again and again like a wave washing up against the ocean, and every movement sent me closer and closer to that crest, knowing I'd fall right over the edge the moment I reached it.

My fingers dug into Levi's back as I held onto him, and when I felt my climax draw close, I tucked my face into his neck, hiding away as my climax hit me and I spilled all over my abdomen without Levi ever touching my cock.

"Oh, fuck," he muttered, and it wasn't long before he came, filling me with his cum as he shook over me. I pulled him close, holding him to me as his limbs buckled and he fell onto me.

A few moments later, he tried to move away, but I held on. "Stay."

Levi sighed, but stayed, turning his head to press a kiss on my cheek.

Levi

This wasn't how I'd expected things would go when I showed Finn his surprise, but I wasn't complaining.

I rubbed my lips over his cheek, and he made a happy, humming sound low in his throat, making me smile. Finn was rarely this relaxed, and I would happily stay like this as long as he wanted.

"Thank you," Finn murmured, and I rose up on my elbows so I could see his face. His eyes were green once again, but I still got the feeling his basilisk side wasn't completely under the surface yet. Something had happened today, something that brought the two halves of him a little closer. Was it me, or the freedom of being able to shift without worry? A bit of both?

"What for?"

Finn raised a brow at me. "You want the whole list?" He slid a hand off my back and started counting on his fingers. "Taking care of me all those years ago, coming back for me, not letting me hide away when I acted like an idiot at the grocery store,taking care of me—again, loving me." His voice went soft at the end, and I smiled, then pressed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Youarean idiot if you think you need to thank me for any of that," I murmured, making him snort. "And you've done just as much for me, you know. Back then, I don't know if you realized it, but you kept me going. I'd been ready to give up before they brought you guys in, and seeing how strong you were for your siblings? That made me want to be strong too. If not for you, I never would've made it out of that place."
