But we had time. We didn’t need to rush.

“Okay,” I croaked. “We don’t have to talk. We can just sleep.”

Please let me sleep in here. Don’t make me leave.

A slow grin worked its way across Silas’s face. He ground his pelvis against me. I nearly wept at the feel of his hard cock through his boxers. “Who said anything about sleep?”

That was all the warning he gave me before his mouth descended on mine.

Kissing Silas was everything I remembered it to be and so much more. He tasted like mint mixed with the liquorice scent I always associated with him. His lips were firm against mine, with no hesitancy in his movements.

My lips opened for him the instant his tongue swept across them, demanding entrance. I whimpered as his tongue ran over mine.

It was everything.Everything.

Silas sank his teeth into my lip before pulling away. His pupils were blown with lust, his eyes hooded. “This okay?”

I didn’t answer him with words. He wanted no talking, so I’d show him with my body.

I rolled him effortlessly so he was the one trapped beneath me. We’d both foregone pyjama tops, so there was no barrier between our chests. I lined us up carefully, my pelvis slotting against Silas’s.

Tiny pinpricks scattered over my skin at the feel of him against me. I knew he’d initiated it, but I had to check. As far as I knew, this was his first time with a man. The last thing I wanted to do was cross any boundaries or make him uncomfortable. “Tell me to stop, and I will.”

His response was to grab my rear with both hands. He lifted his hips at the same time, rocking against me forcefully. “No stopping.”

I growled before taking his mouth. Decades of pent-up pining poured out of me as I devoured him. I’d pictured this moment more times than I cared to admit. Imagined a million different ways it might go down. In all of them, I’d had a degree of control. Finesse. I was able to use everything I’d learned through my past sexual experiences to drive Silas crazy.

How wrong I was. There was no thought. No planning. Just a need to rut against Silas. To swallow his moans with my mouth. To touch every inch of his body that I could. To memorise every inch I’d seen but never been allowed to explore.

“Kai.” Silas’s head arched back, giving me access to his neck. I nipped along the skin, leaving little memories of myself behind. If he woke tomorrow and realised he didn’t want this, at least I’d be able to see my marks on him for a bit longer.

Silas’s nails dug into my back as his hips bucked upwards. His lips were swollen from my kisses, the cherry-red matching the flush on his cheeks.

He was close. I was too. I undulated my body against him faster, ignoring the friction from my boxers as I sank down to kiss him again.

Fuck, I couldn’t get enough of his taste. I didn’t think I ever would.

Silas’s whole body tensed, his fingers digging into my back to the point of pain. He made a choked noise into my mouth as warmth flooded the space between us.

My orgasm hit out of nowhere. It unleashed a torrent of pleasure that had all my muscles quaking. I didn’t know what sound I made, but it was loud enough to have Silas clapping his hand over my mouth.

When the final wave rushed over me, I realised what he’d done and my eyes shot to his in alarm. Oh god, was he freaking out about being with a man? Had the noise I’d made at the end been too much?

But Silas wasn’t freaking out. No, he was grinning at me softly, an eyebrow raised. “Hot as that was, I didn’t think you’d want your parents hearing us.”

I kissed his palm before pulling it away. “Jesus, I didn’t even think about that.”

“It’s okay. I don’t think anyone would’ve heard.”

That was true. Tristan was the only one close to us, and he slept with military-grade earplugs.

I stared at Silas, unable to believe what had just happened. His hair was stuck to his head with sweat, his cheeks glowing. His swollen lips were curved in a satisfied smile, his eyes gleaming.

He looked like a man come undone. I’d seen every side of Silas except this one.

Fuck he was so beautiful like this. Sated and content.

Because of me.
