“Me either.” Craig dropped onto his forearms and Jinx watched him stroke his dick. “Fuck, I’m gonna come.”
Jinx gritted his teeth when Craig’s asshole squeezed his cock and forced his own orgasm back. He wasn’t ready to come just yet. Pulling out, he rolled Craig onto his back, lifted a leg and pushed it back on Craig’s chest, then slid back inside. Craig groaned, his hands gripping Jinx’s arms. Jinx pulled out, then slid back inside, moving slowly at first, then picking up speed. He could feel his orgasm building inside and he shuddered, gasping, moaning Craig’s name.
“Come in me, Jinx. Fill me up.” That was all Jinx needed. His orgasm exploded within him, his body shaking. He lay on top of Craig, his orgasm flowing through him until he lay gasping. Craig’s arms held him tight, and he buried his face in the crook of Craig’s neck, inhaling his scent.
Eventually Jinx rolled them, then held Craig, his hands sliding over the damp skin on Craig’s back. His head was where it should be, right on Jinx’s chest. He’d missed this feeling, missed having Craig next to him, and he didn’t want to lose it again. But he was what he was. A killer. A murderer. He had a deep well of darkness inside him and he knew he wasn’t the same as most people. Not that it bothered him in the least, but he didn’t want to lose Craig over it.
“I missed you,” he whispered. He’d said it several times now and felt it needed to be said again.
“I missed you too.” Craig’s fingers drew patterns on Jinx’s skin. “Where do we go from here?”
“You said you’d have me as I am. Can you do that? Can you hold me after I’ve murdered a man?” He felt Craig jerk, but he had to be open and honest with the man he loved. He was a murderer, and he liked it. There was no shying away from that.
Craig lifted his head from Jinx’s chest. Jinx looked up into Craig’s blue eyes and waited. “Yes. I said I was here to stay, and I am, but we need to have… things, provisions, I guess, in place.”
“In case I’m caught by the police.” Jinx nodded. He understood where Craig was coming from. “I already have a contingency plan in place. You didn’t know what I did, so what I’m doing is working.” Jinx palmed Craig’s face. “I can keep you safe. If by some chance I’m caught, I’ll protect you. Nothing of what I do will fall on you.”
“Except my own abilities to act shocked.” Craig kissed Jinx’s chest. “We both know I’m an appalling liar.”
“You’ll have to practice, or I’ll make sure I’m not caught.” Jinx pulled Craig up and kissed him. Craig moaned softly as the kiss deepened. “I love you,” Jinx whispered against Craig’s lips. “I never want to be without you again.”
“Does that mean we can live together now?” Craig lifted his head and gave Jinx a small smile.
“I was only against that because I didn’t want you to find out, but now that you know, there’s no reason why we can’t move in together.” Craig grinned and kissed him again, but Jinx had something else to say. “Wait. If we live together, you have to accept that when I come back from doing what I do, that I won’t be…” Jinx struggled to find the words he needed to describe how much darker he was after torturing and killing someone. “Me, I guess. I’ll be harder. Rougher.”
Craig’s eyes flickered between his, then looked away. Sitting up, Craig turned away from him, and Jinx knew that Craig couldn’t do it. Sitting up, he moved to the edge of the bed and stood. “I can.”
Jinx spun around and looked down at Craig. “You can?”
“If I’m to be with and accept what you do, then that means I accept all the different parts of you. Even the darker parts.” Standing, Craig slid his arms over Jinx’s shoulders and kissed him. “I love you. I’m not saying this is going to be easy. We’re both going to have to make adjustments. You’ve kept this part hidden for so long and now you don’t have to.” Craig kissed Jinx’s lips. “I have to learn all of you. No more hiding for either of us.”
“I was the one who hid parts of himself. Not you. You have always been open and honest with me.” Jinx kissed Craig as he pulled him close. “Are you certain you want to be with me?”
“I am. Will it be easy? Not at first, but we’ll find our way. I love you so much, Jinx. I don’t want to live my life without you in it.”
“So, when do you want to move in with me?”
“Tomorrow.” Craig grinned and kissed him again, a long, deep kiss that made Jinx groan. “After we’ve spent the day in bed.”
“Hmm. I like that idea. Me, you, a bed.” Picking Craig up, Jinx lay him on the bed and stared down at him. “Fuck, you are beautiful.”
“And all yours.”
Grinning, Jinx covered Craig’s body with his own. “Just like I’m all yours.”
Epilogue
Afew months later…
Craig parked his car and stared out of the windshield. He’d had a long week of work. Now that he ran the department, his workload was heavier, but he loved it. Flint had been removed after HR had shown all their evidence to the owners. They’d been left with no choice but to fire Flint, and from what Craig had heard, Flint hadn’t taken it well. Security had to be brought in to remove him from the building. That had been three months ago and not long after Craig had been offered a promotion, which he’d accepted. The department ran much smoother now, and he made a point to speak to his staff to see how they were or if they needed any support.
Licking his lips, he glanced over to the cabin and exhaled quietly. He’d told Jinx he would accept all of him and he had. That was why he was there. Getting out of his car, Craig walked towards the cabin and entered the code, then walked inside andmade sure to lock the door behind him. The place still looked like shit, but it was necessary for it to look that way. If anyone broke in, they would see an abandoned property and not know what really went on there.
The real action took place below, in an area difficult to find. Craig knew because Jinx had shown him when he’d asked. A message from Jinx had told him he would be finished soon, meaning the man currently downstairs would be dead after Jinx had spent hours torturing him.
He hadn’t been here when Jinx was torturing some pervert, and Craig wasn’t sure how he would react when he came upstairs and saw Craig waiting for him. He nibbled his lip, wondering if he had done the right thing, and was about to leave when the cupboard door swung open, stopping him in his tracks.
Jinx stepped through and stopped when he saw Craig. Jinx’s whole body froze, and Craig could see the tension in it. “What are you doing here?” His voice was low, much lower than normal, and Craig didn’t answer. He couldn’t. Jinx stood barefoot, in just a pair of jeans, which he hadn’t fastened, and Craig’s eyes followed his treasure trail, then moved back up his body, over the abs and pecs he loved to touch and kiss and lick. Up to his lips, then stared into Jinx’s eyes.
