CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Kane

Waking up in Austin’s arms and knowing he was mine made the whole world feel like it was painted gold. It felt like I could finally breathe for the first time in ten years, even if I hadn’t realised I was holding my breath.

I knew there were still things we needed to work out, that saying we were together didn’t mean anything if we didn’t act on it. And there were random details that still needed ironing out too, including things I knew I hadn’t even thought of.

But none of that mattered right now.

Because he was mine and I was his, and it was everything my heart had been longing for since the first time I’d laid eyes on him.

“What’re you thinking about, kitten?” Austin asked, mumbling sleepily into my neck. I’d never realised he was such a cuddler but I didn’t think he’d let go of me all night. Not that I’d let go of him either. We’d slept wrapped up together in a tangle, his muscular arm across my stomach to keep me close while he buried his face in my neck.

“Last night,” I said quietly, shifting slightly so I could press a kiss to the top of his head. “About you… us… all of that.”

“Yeah? You freaking out at all?”

“No, you?”

“No.” He tilted his head up to look at me, a small smile curving the corner of his mouth. “Feels like I’ve been waiting for this.”

“I know what you mean.” I hummed softly as he leant up and kissed me, crawling up my body so he blanketed me, his arms on either side of my head. We were both naked, having stripped off any underwear last night before rutting against each other until our cum pooled together on our skin. We’d cleaned up but not bothered to get dressed.

Austin’s cock brushed against mine and I groaned softly as I kissed him again. “Feels like it’s taken us a long time to get here,” I said, whispering the words against his lips.

“Maybe,” he said as he smiled down at me. “But I don’t think either of us was ready for it before now.”

“What changed?”

“I don’t know.” He kissed me again and nipped my lip teasingly. “You’re still the same bratty, demanding bottom you’ve always been, kitten.”

“And you’re still the same smirking, cocky bastard,” I said, wrapping my arms around his neck and slowly pressing my hips up so I could grind my slowly hardening cock against his. “I think I’m just more willing to put up with you.”

Austin snorted and smirked, rolling his hips and deliberately thrusting against me in a way that made me keen and whine. “Maybe it’s me that’s more willing to put up with you.”

I tried to laugh but it came out as a breathless moan. “Maybe… fuck, maybe we’re just more willing to put up with each other? It’s not like… mmm, ugh, it’s not like anyone else wants me.”

“I do,” Austin said, leaning down to scrape his teeth along my neck. “I want you, Kanan. Everyone else is a fucking fool if they can’t see what I can.”

I groaned and arched up into him, melting at the way he said my name. Nobody ever used my real name these days, not even my own family, and the way Austin said it soothed some deep-seated need inside me.

It was like I belonged to him.

I’d never have thought I’d want that—to be owned by someone—but with Austin it felt so different. I wanted to be his and for him to stake his claim on me, body and soul. I wanted to give him everything.

“Austin,” I said, moaning out his name. “Please!”

“What do you need, darling? Tell me so I can take care of you.”

“I… F-Fuck, I need you. Please, Austin. I want you to fill me up. Fucking claim me.”

Austin growled and sucked a possessive mark onto my neck. “Mmm, such a filthy boy, aren’t you? Need to be stuffed full and loaded with cum.” He rolled his hips harder, grinding his cock along mine and making me cry out. I needed him so badly it hurt.

Austin sucked another mark onto my neck and muttered something about getting the lube. He rolled off me and grabbed the bottle from the bedside table, returning to his place between my thighs before I’d even started to miss him.

I moaned as he pressed two slick fingers to my pucker, circling my waiting hole and tapping the sensitive skin. It burned as he slowly pushed them inside, stretching me around his thick fingers, but despite the pain it felt so good I didn’t want him to stop.

He worked me open quickly and smoothly, whispering words of praise into my ear and pressing little kisses to my neck as he did, making me feel so spoiled and adored. It was something I’d never experienced with anyone else, and I couldn’t believe it had taken me as long as it had to realise what I had with Austin was special… real… tangible in some way.

I couldn’t really explain it.

Then again, I was so far lost in bliss I didn’t think I’d be able to remember my own birthday, let alone explain the inner workings of my heart.

“Are you ready for me, darling?” Austin asked as he slowly pulled his fingers out. The thick head of his cock bumped against my ass as he adjusted his position, leaning down to brush his lips against mine. “Want me to fill you up?”

“Please, Austin,” I said, groaning softly as I wrapped my arms around his neck, tugging his mouth back down so I could kiss him. “I need you.”

“You’ve got me.” He claimed my mouth with a deep kiss as his cock pushed past my rim, stretching and filling me up with every thick, perfect inch. A deep groan rumbled through his chest and into me, drawing a moan from my throat as he began to roll his hips. Despite our earlier urgency, his thrusts were deep and slow, peppered with kisses and muttered words that told me how perfect I was.

This was more than good sex. It was passion, intimacy, and connection. It was sensual and decadent and made my toes curl as Austin’s cock ground over my prostate with every move. I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his hips, my ankles pulling him closer, deeper, as my hungry mouth sought out kiss after kiss.

My desire for him burned white hot and unquenchable.

If this was love, then it was probably going to destroy me. But every second would be worth it because life without Austin would simply not be worth living.

I’d give up everything for him.

“You’re so perfect for me, Kanan,” Austin whispered as he made love to me. “Feel so fucking good on my cock, look so beautiful too… Mmm, love all those noises you make for me, darling.”

“Austin,” I said with a whimper, carding my fingers through his short hair. My balls were tight, infinite pleasure building inside me as it waited for release.

“I know, darling.” He kissed me deeply as he thrust harder, making my back arch and more moans rip from my throat. “Touch yourself. I want you to come for me.”

“Are you… ughhh, are you close too?”

“Yeah, baby, I’m close. Want us to come together?”

“Yes,” I said, nodding desperately. I didn’t know if it was possible, but this was Austin and he’d always made my impossible dreams come true. He’d give me the moon if I asked him for it and present it with a smile, like getting it had been no trouble at all.

“Good boy,” he said. “Touch your pretty cock for me, kitten. I want to feel you come.”

I slid my hand between our bodies to grip my hot, aching shaft and gasped as a new wave of heat and pleasure washed over me, intensifying everything to the point it was almost painful. A raw cry clawed its way out of my chest as I jerked myself hard and fast, chasing my orgasm with unbridled desperation. Austin growled, kissing me hard and nipping my lip as he kept up his relentless thrusts, his cock hammering into my prostate.

“I-I… fuck, I’m c-close,” I stammered out, barely able to breathe let alone speak.

“Yeah, that’s it,” Austin said with a groan. “Come for me, Kanan. Give me what I want.”

“Austin!” I sank one hand into the hair on the back of his head, biting his lip as my orgasm ripped through me, engulfing me in pleasure. My legs trembled and my ass pulsed around Austin’s shaft as my cock pumped hot cum between our bodies.

“Mine,” Austin growled as he thrust into me one final time, his body tensing as he filled me with cum. He kissed me hard, breathing whispered words between my lips. “My Kanan. All mine.”

“Yours. All yours.” We kept kissing as another wave of my orgasm washed over me, making me shudder.

It took a long time for my head to stop spinning and any kind of feeling to return to my body. I laughed breathlessly, joy bubbling out of me, and Austin raised an eyebrow. He was still buried inside me, but I could feel cum starting to trickle out of my hole around his softening cock. “Something funny, Pendleberry?”

I laughed louder then. “Just… very happy.”

Austin winked and kissed me again. “You did just have sex with me. And I am pretty fucking awesome.”

“You’re such a dickhead,” I said, kissing him and then pushing his chest, rolling us over until I was half on top of him. His cock slipped out of me and I felt more of his cum running down my thigh.

“And yet you still had sex with me,” he said smugly. “I can’t be that much of a dick.”

“You can. You’re just very charming with it.”

He chuckled and pulled me in for a kiss. “And you love a charming bastard.”

“For my sins.”

We kept kissing, happy to lose endless time to each other. The only thing that stopped us was the sound of my phone vibrating loudly on the bedside table. I frowned and tumbled onto the mattress as I reached over to grab it, the sheets still wrapped around my waist. Very few people had my number and even fewer people called me, so it had to be important.

“Hello,” I said, stretching out on the bed and kicking out at Austin as he tried to tickle my foot.

“Is that Jude? It’s Jenny.”

I tensed, sitting bolt upright and pulling the sheet up as if she could suddenly see me. “Hey! How’re you? Nice to hear from you.”

“I’m good, but I hope I’m about to be better,” she said. “I’m not good with small talk, Kane, so I’m going to get straight to the point. I’d like to offer you the role of Llewelyn. Your initial audition was excellent, as was your chemistry read with Henry. In fact, Mr. Lu has been adamant he doesn’t want anyone else—you rather impressed him. And me, and that’s not an easy task.”

“T-Thank you,” I said, forcing the words out despite the fact I was so stunned my brain felt like it’d totally shut down.

“You’re welcome. So, are you going to say yes?”

“Yes! Yes, please. I’d love to be your Llewelyn.”

“Excellent,” Jenny said. “I’ll speak to your agent this afternoon and we’ll get the details all hashed out. Someone will get in touch with you after that about next steps and all that, but I couldn’t resist giving you the news myself.”

“I really appreciate it.” I glanced across at Austin, who was lying next to me with a beaming smile on his face. Somehow it was that smile which made it feel even more real. “I can’t wait.”

“Good. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Well, I’ll let you get on. Are you okay if I give Henry your number? I think he wanted to meet up with you.”

“Oh yeah, that’s fine.”

“My only caveat is you’re not to have sex. I won’t have my production ruined by the two of you falling out beforehand. And I’ll tell him the same.”

My face flamed at the barrage of information, but all I could say was, “It’s fine. I have a boyfriend. And he’s, er, well, I don’t think we’d be up for…” I trailed off because we hadn’t exactly talked about exclusivity, work, and all of that. I didn’t want Austin to give up his job, because he loved it, but I wasn’t going to talk to Jenny about the ins and outs of my relationship before I’d worked things out with Austin.

“No worries, I just wanted to mention it. Henry’s lovely, but a more dramatic flirt I’ve never met,” Jenny said with amusement. “We’ll speak again soon, Jude, and congratulations.”

“Thank you,” I said again before Jenny hung up. I dropped my phone and stared at Austin, my mouth hanging open. “I got the part.”

“Yeah, you fucking did, darling,” he said, launching himself at me and pulling me into a kiss.
