CHAPTER 25
Consciousness was slow in coming for Kian and he had no clue as to why. It seemed to be something that happened to him a bit too often. Then again, he’d been through a lot and his body appreciated the rest.
Less than a year ago, he’d been dreaming about graduating with his bachelor’s degree; hell, starting his life, and now? For the last few months, he’d only been able to think about staying alive.
Awareness was starting to creep into his mind. Warmth suffused his back, a strong arm encompassed him, leaving Kian feeling safe for the first time in what felt like forever. All he wanted was to remain right where he was, but reality wasn’t something he was good running from.
Slowly, he opened his eyes. A glance down had him smiling to see Alec’s fingers entwined with his. Had the past few months been hell? Definitely. But it had all been worth it if it meant being in Alec’s arms. As far as Kian was concerned, if at the end of the day he got to be held by this amazing man, who Kian loved more than anything, it was worth enduring whatever life had to throw at him.
Alec shifted. He rose up onto his elbow to gaze down at Kian. Needing to be closer to him, Kian turned over to face him. A soft smile lifted the corners of Alec’s lips. “How are you feeling?” Concern laced Alec’s words.
“Okay.” A shiver went down Kian’s spine as the image of Brant nearly killing him flashed in his mind. Shivering slightly at the thought of Brant’s death, Kian snuggled even closer to Alec’s warmth.
“Kian, this isn’t how I wanted to do this, but after...” His voice faltered. That strong arm at Kian’s waist pulled him even closer to that solid body, as if even an inch separating them was too much.
Alec’s lips pressed a kiss on the spot where Kian’s neck and shoulder met causing his heart to flutter. Kian’s breath caught in his throat when Alec lifted his head. Love shone from those emerald eyes Kian loved so much.
“Will you marry me?” he whispered.
A gasp of surprise left him. Then joy flooded his body. “Yes,” Kian answered without any hesitation.
Their lips met in a heart stopping kiss that had Kian wishing the rest of the world would leave them alone for the rest of their lives. Too bad life never happened that way.
But they would at least have this slice of time. It wasn’t enough, nor would it ever be, yet it was more than he’d once imagined.
Sinking further into the kiss, Kian knew, without a doubt, he’d been meant to find Alec. It was as if the fates themselves had created both of them to be the perfect match for each other.
All thoughts except those centered around the way Alec touched him fled Kian’s brain. The brush of his fingers down Kian’s back sent goosebumps across his skin. His muscles quivered wherever Alec touched.
“Need,” Kian mumbled even as his own hands grabbed the taunt globes of Alec’s ass and arched up causing their groins to rub together. The friction was mind blowing.
Needing to feel skin on skin, he tugged up the shirt Alec had on, forcing them to break the kiss to pull it up over his head. Like a magnet to steel, their mouths were back together the instant the shirt was gone.
It was intense and electric. No. That didn’t even come close to what Kian was feeling. His body craved Alec on cellular level. It was as if his soul cried out for the man he loved.
Then again, that might have had to do with the fact they’d been constantly fighting and hadn’t had enough time loving each other. Although, that said, even if they’d made love every day, Kian knew it would never be enough.
When Alec broke from the kiss, Kian cried out, which turned into a moan as those firm lips trailed a path along Kian’s jaw and down his throat. He’d not only heard but felt the rumble of a growl from deep within Alec’s chest as he encountered the t-shirt Kian had on.
Instead of lifting it up over his head, Alec tore it from Kian’s body. Damn, that was hot.
What was even better was the feel of Alec’s mouth nipping, licking, and kissing every inch of Kian’s chest. When those lips wrapped around one nipple and sucked it into that hot mouth, Kian was positive he felt flames lick over his skin.
Threading his fingers in Alec’s short hair, Kian tugged him even closer as he arched up for more. “Please,” he heard himself beg.
Not until he’d given the second nipple the same treatment did Alec move slowly down Kian’s body. Way too slowly. Kian was about to take matters into his own hands and stroke his dick when those talented lips sucked on the crown of Kian’s hard length.
“Yes,” he screamed out as his hips moved off the bed in an effort to push deeper into Alec’s mouth. Not that it had done any good. Alec seemed determined to go at his pace, no matter how much Kian tried to push him to go faster.
He wanted…No…He needed to feel Alec inside of him after all Kian had been through. There was still a part of him that wasn’t certain any of this was real. That maybe, just maybe, he was still in that stupid cave hallucinating.
Pushing those negative thoughts away, Kian only allowed himself to feel. Each loving stroke of Alec’s hands. Each lick along his shaft. Every time those lips wrapped around him like he was Alec’s favorite treat and Kian was lost to nothing but sensation.
“Mine,” Alec growled just before taking Kian’s dick to the back of his throat.
There was nothing Kian could do but take it since Alec took away his ability to thrust into that wet heat by pinning Kian’s hips to the mattress. It was too much, yet not enough at the same time.
“Alec…need…plea…now…I…come.” Kian knew he was babbling but he didn’t care since there wasn’t any way to string two words together.
Suddenly, a slick finger was probing Kian’s entrance. He had no idea where or when Alec had gotten the lube nor had Kian cared. All he knew was that Alec was getting him ready for that long, thick cock. It was all that mattered. Hell, it was all Kian wanted. To feel Alec inside of him.
He hissed when he felt a slight burn as Alec’s finger breached the ring of muscles guarding his channel. That turned into a moan of pure ecstasy when Alec brushed across his prostate.
Kian ground down as he tried to force Alec even deeper. It didn’t take long before two, and then three, fingers were inside of him. “Need…Please…Alec,” Kian threw his head back on that last word as it tore out of his throat with a hunger so deep, he felt it in his very soul.
They might have been connected before, but now, it was on a whole different level. Kian could swear he could feel the lust that was coursing through Alec’s body.
When Alec surged up to kiss his lips once more, Kian cried out in relief even though he missed those talented lips on his dick. He knew it meant that he was about to get what he wanted most. Alec was ready to breach him with more than his fingers.
Yet, despite knowing what was coming, it was impossible to stop the cry of dismay that fell from his lips when Alec tugged his fingers free. It wasn’t until he felt the blunt head of Alec’s cock that Kian’s body melted into the mattress, even as every cell in his body tingled with pure need.
Gently – and way too slowly, if Kian was being honest – Alec breached Kian’s hole with his cock. Two thrusts later, they both groaned when Alec bottomed out.
It was bliss. As impractical as it was, Kian wished to always have Alec inside of him. The feeling of being stretched wide was unlike anything he’d ever experienced.
As Alec pulled back until only the tip was still inside of him, then pushed back inside, Kian rolled up his hips to get him even deeper. He was filled so completely, Kian wasn’t certain where he ended and Alec began.
“Love,” Alec cried out as his lips sucked up a mark along Kian’s neck where everyone would see. Not that he was complaining. Kian would be proud to wear Alec’s marks.
The dual sensation of Alec’s mouth and cock was pushing Kian faster and faster to his climax. His whole body felt as if it were on fire as they both strove to their release.
Yet, at the same time, Kian didn’t want it to end – ever. Every sensation was alive, coursing through his body at lighting speed, pushing him to his orgasm. Wrapping his legs around Alec, he tilted his hips slightly, allowing Alec to drive into him even deeper.
“I’m not going to last much longer,” Alec warned even as one hand gripped Kian’s dick and started stroking in time with his thrusts.
Everything in his body lit up as what felt like electricity shot up and down his spine until it landed in his balls. They rolled in their sack before pushing up closer to his body.
“Alec,” he yelled out, his hands gripping tightly to Alec’s biceps as Kian’s hips bowed off the bed. In the next breath, wet heat splashed between them coating their abs.
He barely heard Alec’s return shout as Kian was floating on a cloud of pure euphoria. But he felt Alec’s seed filling him up.
Smiling, Kian held Alec tightly to him, hoping Alec would stay where he was as long as possible because there was nowhere else in the world he wanted to be but there.
