“I’ve been too busy drooling over you,” I told him.
He bit his lip and choked down a moan.
“You’re the hottest person I’ve ever met. The kindest too. You’re the sweetest man, and I want to keep doing this until the day I die.”
“Shush,” he said and put his finger on my lips. “Don’t say those things. That’s bad karma.”
“It’s the truth,” I told him and squinted, trying to keep my orgasm at bay.
“Well, I want to keep doing it too. For a very, very long time.”
“I’m so close,” I warned him, his finger still on my lips. What choice did I have but to pop it into my mouth?
“Me too,” he whimpered and closed his eyes.
I cupped his face and braced myself for the feeling of completion that I’d only ever felt with him.
It throbbed from within me like a current and washed over me like a tsunami. I let go. I let go and emptied inside of him, embracing the warm, fuzzy feeling that replaced my insatiable need.
I opened my eyes, only to feel the wetness between us grow as Wesley came all over his belly and mine without even touching himself. I did what any sane man would do. I kissed him and felt every wave of his orgasm reverberate through me.
“I love you, Wesley. I love you with all my heart,” I said before I could control myself.
But I couldn’t anymore. I’d been keeping it in for far too long, and it was eating away at me. It needed to be said. It wanted to come out. To be spoken.
“What?” he asked, and it was my turn to shush him with my fingers.
“You don’t have to say it back. You don’t have to feel the same. I just…I wanted you to know how I feel. I can’t keep fooling myself or you. I’m in love with you.”
Wesley’s lips parted, but all that came out was a deep breath. Then another, and I smiled to ease his worries.
I knew it wasn’t conventional to say I love you so soon in a relationship, if that was what we had, but I didn’t care. It was crystal clear that was what I’d been feeling. And that was why he had awakened something within me no one else had.
“I know now why I want to have sex with you when I’ve never wanted to with anyone else. It’s because I fell in love with you. It might be silly or fast, but I got to know so much about you from the first moment we met. Your character shone through from the word go, and the way you’ve helped me, Bear, those kids, the people around you. Your vigilance and your determination. It was inevitable.”
“Fuck, Teddy. That’s…that’s…” he started, but before he could finish, a few tears fell down his face. “I wasn’t ready for that.”
“I’m sorry.” I wiped at his tears and eyes. “I didn’t mean to scare you?—”
“You didn’t scare me, Teddy. No one has ever told me those things before. I’m crying because I never thought I’d hear anything close to that. And here you are, sharing your heart so easily, so simply.”
He raised his hand and cupped my face as his lips drew up in a soft smile.
“The truth is…I’ve been falling for you since day one. I just didn’t want to admit it because… I don’t know, love is complicated, and I’ve been hurt before.”
I leaned in closer and kissed him. “I promise I’ll never hurt you. Ever.”
“I know. I believe you. And I won’t hurt you either.” He nodded and choked down a whimper.
I kissed him again. “I know you won’t.”
He put his arms around me, and I lay on top of him, feeling fulfilled and happy. Like the luckiest man in the world.
Because I was.
