Excitement flashed in his eyes. He lifted on his elbows and pulled me closer. His mouth went on my neck, his fingers threading through my hair. And he tugged hard, forcing me to arch my head back and proceeded to give me a hickey… a delicious love bite.
The sucking stirred something carnal in me and I hammered toward the finish line for a legendary release.
Next thing I knew, I was coming inside his ass and he was shooting ropes of his cum between us. He didn’t stop sucking on my skin, determined it seemed, to leave his mark on me.
An overwhelming, all-consuming love spread through my chest just then. As my dick deflated and slipped out of him, I fell onto his body. We embraced and I found myself making love to him, again, but this time with my tongue.
I couldn’t get enough of this man.
Not of his mouth, his dick or his tender soul.
Try as I might, I couldn’t get close enough to him. It was like I wanted to burrow inside him and never leave his presence. That thought scared the fuck out of me.
“I love you, Toby,” he said through his kisses. “I have since our almost kiss on New Year’s Eve.”
I froze as the night rushed back. “That wasn’t my drunken fantasy? We almost kissed?”
His pink cheeks darkened. “Yeah.”
“I thought I’d made it up in my head because it’s what I wanted.”
Grizzly smiled and shook his head. “I wanted it too.”
I pressed my forehead to his. “I’ll be damned. Sorry for being such an imbecile.”
“You’re not. You’re incredible. Hot as fuck, and I love you.”
I stared at him for a long beat, feeling all kinds of things for this man. And then, I said the words I had never told anyone else before. “I love you. I love you more than I could ever express.”
His eyes got glossy with tears. The sight of his joy and the love in his brown depths, the reverence he must have felt for me, put a lump in my throat.
How could I leave him for weeks or months at a time? I got an email this morning. A job offer in Canada. It seemed Storm’s, sort of friend, sort of ally, Ciro Remotti, needed help setting up security systems at his new casino. Storm had recommended me.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing.”
“You went quiet.”
“I’m just basking in your satiated expression after all we did here.” I rolled onto my back and pulled him partially on me. “We’re so great together.”
“We are. But you’re probably thinking it’s too much. That you didn’t expect to catch feelings. Do you regret telling me you love me?”
“No, never.” I pressed my lips against his forehead. “I’ll never stop loving you.”
But how would we work? I wasn’t the kind of person who would put roots down. I needed my freedom to explore my environment and others.
Would Grizzly understand my need to travel alone for my work and for pleasure?
Would I break his heart?
God, I hoped not because it would kill me to lose him.

GRIZZLY
Everything was happening faster than my brain could process. Two days ago, Toby and I had the most intimate and beautiful bonding moment. Our souls had become one. We’d declared our love to each other. It was everything and more than I had ever wanted.
