A small sound tore from Lake’s throat, and he gripped my sides as he rocked his hips into me. He slid his hands beneath the hem of my shirt. His calloused fingertips against my skin left tingles in their wake as they made small circles at the base of my spine. “You’re so warm. Like the sun.”
“You can take off my shirt, if you want,” I said.
I wanted more of his touch. Needed it.
He worked my shirt up and over my head, then tossed it to the floor. The glow in his purple eyes brightened as they roamed over my naked torso. His smile fell when he touched my sternum and glided his finger to my rib cage.
Was he disappointed? It had always been hard for me to put on weight no matter how much I ate. As for muscles? Yeah, forget it. When he didn’t say anything, insecurity reared its ugly head. And with it… more rambles.
“I know. I’m so amazingly buff it’s left you speechless. I’m a total beefcake.” I forced a laugh, and my nerves bled through it. “Now you see why that thorn bush had no chance. I—”
Lake silenced me with a kiss. He smiled against my lips. “You’re beautiful.”
“So are you,” I whispered. “I guess we’re both a little nervous, huh?”
“Only because this means something.” Lake drew back to meet my gaze. His eyes had darkened further. “Do you feel it too?”
“Yes.” I felt my connection to him in every fiber of my body, as though my cells had knitted together with his. Like my soul had recognized him and embraced his in turn.
Five soulmates, Lupin had said. Each one owning a piece of me. But as I straddled Lake, our mouths pressing together over and over, it felt less like a possession and more like a fragment had returned home.
Lake then placed my hand on the top of his pants. An unspoken request I was more than ready to oblige.
Still kissing him, I pulled the string that fastened them together and loosened it. The hard bulge straining against the fabric told me there was quiet the package waiting to be unwrapped. And I wanted to take my time opening it.
I kissed from his lips and to his jaw, then his neck. I grazed my teeth along his collarbone before making my way down his chest, adorning his skin in soft kisses. I gave a teasing lick to one of his nipples.
He sucked in a breath and arched his spine, his hand falling to the back of my head. I licked him again before latching on to his nipple. He whimpered.
Damn. If he liked that, he’d completely lose his mind once I reached his dick. The thought spurred me on, and I moved farther down his body, licking the dusting of hair leading from his belly button. I peered up at him, finding him watching me. I didn’t see fear in his expression though.
I saw excitement. Trust.
When I tugged his pants down, releasing his erection, he shuddered, and that desperate gleam returned to his eyes. As for my eagerly awaited package? Fucking perfect. Silver hair surrounded the base of his cock, and I was powerless to resist the urge to press my face into it, breathing in his unique musk. His shaft twitched as I ever so lightly grazed my finger up the underside of it.
“Evan.” Lake’s voice sounded strained, and he gripped the blanket beneath him.
“I love when you say my name like that.” He was so worked up from a single caress. What I was about to do next would tip him over the edge, but I didn’t care. I wanted him to tumble off that cliff and crash into the silky waters of ecstasy waiting for him at the bottom.
Gripping his base, I brought his thick cock head to my lips and sank down, taking him into my mouth. The cry that filled the room was sharp, and his hips jolted as his head dropped back. I pulled off his cock with a wet pop and swirled my tongue around his slit.
“Dear gods.” Lake’s eyes rolled back. “That feels… there aren’t words to describe it.”
“Then don’t use words,” I said against his tip before giving it another lick. “Tell me with your moans.”
Was I surprised by the smoothness of my voice and cool confidence? Definitely. But Lake brought out that side of me. I wanted to make him soar, just like a shooting star leaving a fiery blaze across the sky.
As I took him back into my mouth, Lake groaned and pumped his hips up to go deeper. He came seconds later, his cock spasming and oozing so much cum it drizzled from the corners of my lips. I swallowed some and tried not to choke as more filled my mouth. ‘Tried’ being the key word. I pulled off with a short cough.
So much for my two seconds of being suave and cool.
“I’m sorry,” he panted. His hand shook as he smoothed my bangs from my eyes. His were clouded with guilt. “Look what I’ve done to you.”
I laughed and wiped at my mouth. “Don’t be sorry. I take it as a compliment.”
Something shifted in his expression, then. Something that gave me chills. Not the bad kind though. He silently devoured me with his gaze, different shades of purple swirling in his irises, tendrils of light and dark. But it wasn’t just his deep, penetrating stare that had my body tingling and heart thumping harder.
It was his aura. His very presence commanded attention, like something powerful moved beneath his skin, begging to be set free.
