“And I’m still the only one who gets to take care of you like this?” Leo asked, angling his head so that his words ghosted over my ear. I shivered, my legs wrapping around his hips in an attempt to keep us joined as closely as possible as he moved inside me.

I nodded my head again.

“Words, Jacqueline.”

“Yes!” I gasped, only to start shaking my head, “I can’t—I can’t—”

“Yes, you can,” Leo ground out, keeping his hips moving at the same pace that created another wave of heat in my core. It was building rapidly, much more rapidly than I was used to. I had already come twice. I hadn’t planned on coming again, I really didn’t need to. But it was happening, and I couldn’t wrap my head around it.

“I can’t—I’m gonna—oh no—”

“I feel you,” Leo moaned, “God, I feel you coming again.” I turned my head to scream into the skin of his shoulder, a poor attempt to muffle the sound, as he rambled in my ear, “You’re so tight, sweetheart. Clenching around me. Fuck, I don’t know if I can last—oh, fuck, you’re coming again—fuck, you’re soaking me, Jacqueline—fuuuuck—”

Leo whimpered before thrusting into me one last time, grinding his hips against mine as he groaned through his release. Feeling him throb inside of me made me bite his shoulder, but I stopped myself before I caused real damage to his skin.

I felt out of control.

I felt alive.

I felt fucking amazing.

I felt really, really messy.

We sat there, Leo barely supporting his body weight on his elbows so that he wouldn’t crush me, both of our cheeks pressed together while we breathed and recovered from the ecstasy we shared.

“Was…” I cleared my throat and used my hand around his shoulders to gently stroke his skin, “Was that good for you?”

Leo laughed, the sound of it was muffled against me.

I stiffened, worried, before his lips started kissing my neck and ear in between his chuckles, “Yeah, Jacqueline. I haven’t gained my vision back quite yet.”

I laughed too, making him lift his head to meet my eyes.

A smile spread across his face, and I grinned back at him. Admiring him. How beautiful he was like this. His pupils were practically blown out, hiding so much of his clear blue irises. His pale cheeks flushed with color from exertion. How his black hair looked so messy from my fingers running through it. I couldn’t wrap my head around this moment; how lucky I was that we were together like this.

“It wasn’t too much?” I asked again. He had already claimed that nothing I asked of him was too daunting or off-putting, but that was during the throes of passion. I knew I couldn’t possibly have a clear head while on the brink of orgasm, I wouldn’t expect him to either.

“What part?” Leo asked before pecking my lips.

I waited for him to pull back again, “Any of it. Especially the beginning.” I lifted my hand again, awed that I could touch my coworker like this. How comfortable we both were, tangled up in each other after a long day.

He closed his eyes and adjusted the two of us. Rolling onto his back, Leo tucked me against his side, so I could continue brushing his dark hair off his forehead while he considered his response.

“You asked me the same thing the first time,” Leo sighed, leaning into my hand. If he was a cat, I thought he might have started purring. I poked my tongue against the inside of my cheek, enjoying that my touch affected him like this.

I enjoyed it a lot.

“I did,” I agreed, “I asked you for things I hadn’t asked anyone for before.”

Leo lifted a dark brow while still keeping his lids shut, “Like choking?”

I clamped my lips together, a wave of humiliation washing over my face as I dropped against his chest. A poor attempt to hide my reaction from him.

“Yes,” but my response was muffled.

“Jacqueline,” Leo had turned his head so that his lips could press against my forehead, “Trust me when I say that I’ll tell you if anything you ask for is too much. If you ask, and I enthusiastically oblige, it’s because I’m into it, too.”

I tilted my face up just enough for his lips to leave my head so I could look at him, “…I feel like I got too lucky with you,” I whispered, “I don’t want to put you in an uncomfortable position.” Leo snorted, and my brows lowered, “What?”
