“Yes. Your name. And why do I have your name?”
“Because we’re together now. Forever.”
“Yes.” I leaned forward, tracing my fingers down his carved-up forearm, burying him in me as I kept eye contact. “And who am I?”
“You’re mine.”
“No one else’s,” I added. “We’re going to make this work, no matter what. But I need you to promise you’re going to help me, just like I promise I’ll help you. We’re each other’s strength now. We’re honest about everything. This is the only way we’ll work.” I lowered my chest, rolling my hips as I began to ride his cock. “I want this to work, Reid.”
“It will.” His knees drew up as his feet planted on the bed. “This will work because I won’t let anything ruin it. I’m going to make you happy. You’ll see. It’ll be perfect, because we’re perfect together.” Reid’s head lifted, and I met his lips, letting him push his tongue deep into my mouth. My orgasm built until I was pulling back and crying out.
“And you’ll give this to me? You’ll give me you, like this?”
Reid was back to kissing me, moaning into my mouth. “Fuck yes. Take me whenever you want.I’ll take you.” He thrust hard, and my body immediately spasmed. It had Reid pulling back against his cuffs as he thrust into me faster. Wave after wave hit me until I could barely see straight. “I want to take you too, Taur. I want—Fuck.God. Sit up, I need to see it. I want to see it.”
I didn’t need to ask what he meant.
I lifted, digging my nails into his pecs. My body was tingling with a high I wasn’t sure I’d felt before. I flattened my feet and moved up and down his cock letting my effects on Reid feed me. I let him see his name. I let him watch his cock slide in and out of me. I knew from the thickness how bad he was fighting his need to come. But that wasn’t happening inside of me. Not this time.
Easing up, I moved to his side, lowering to take him back into my mouth.
“You’re trying to kill me. I’d die like this. I’d die for you, Taur.” A deep growl. It was the fight. Maybe the insanity I knew lingered for him, concerning me.
“This is what I want.” The taste of both of us consumed me as I sucked him in deeper, teasing him again with my tongue at every withdrawal. “I want every drop of you. I want you in me in all ways. Everywhere. Everyday.”
“Fuck. Fuck.”
His breathing turned faster, and I stroked and brought him more into my throat. Reid’s head went back and forth. It lifted, only to fall back, only to lift again so he could keep watching. I felt every second he tried to cling to, and I knew the moment he couldn’t hold out any longer. My mouth opened, exposing my tongue, and I continued to stroke him, watching his jaw drop.
“Jesus.Taur.”
Cum shot into my mouth, pumping the warmth all over my tongue. I swallowed, seeing Reid’s eyes grow even heavier through the pleasure. Sweat drenched his hair, and his body was trembling as he jolted through the last stroke. Words didn’t come. They didn’t have to as I reached to open the end table, pulling out the key. I barely had both wrists unlocked before Reid was flipping me onto my back.
Silence.
For what seemed an eternity passed as we stared into each other’s eyes.
Maybe I expected him to turn into a savage. I wasn’t sure what he would do once I set him free. All Reid managed was to give me an expression I hadn’t witnessed from him before. Love, yes, but it was more than that.There was a stillness amid the storm. A peace—or a deadly calm. I wasn’t sure as he lowered, gently brushing his lips over mine.
“This is right. You won’t regret this, Tauren. You made the right choice.”
“Choice.” I blinked through the word. Through the mass of emotions that came with it. “I used to think life held nothing but falls. Every choice I made was wrong. Every decision held consequences that killed me.”
“And now?”
Worry still lingered in the depths of his gray eyes. He was so guarded, so ready for me to decimate him again. I wasn’t going to do that. Not to him, and not to me.
“Don’t you see? That’s the problem. The moment I fell, I should have known my place. I didn’t, and I paid. We both did. I’m sorry for that. When I fell for you, I was scared. I’m not afraid anymore. I know where I want to be, and that’s at your side.”
“Forever?”
“And ever.”
