And even if he runs far away from me after all of this, he’s going toknowthat I cared about him, too.

I hold my hand on his thigh as he thrusts deep into me, and I know by his broken breath that he’s close.

And I look at him like I belong to him.

What he’s wanted, all along, and what I’ve stubbornly refused.

I realize my hands are shaking a little now every time I pull them away from him, so I keep them firmly pressed on the back of his thighs to stay steady.

I am yours,I say on repeat in my mind as I watch his eyes.And you aren’t fucking alone.

I push my tongue up on the underside of his cock and he bucks his hips forward one more time. I feel him pulse as he holds my head in his hands, and he finally loses control, coming over and over in my mouth.

“Good,” he says as he catches his breath.

I feel used.

In a good way.

I also feel like I crossed a threshold I can’t come back from, now.

Please, give me more?

My heart beats too fast.

I’m always going to want you.

I swallow around him, and slowly slide his cock out of my mouth, keeping a soft gaze on him the whole time.

“Good,” I repeat back to him.

As if this is the end of some goddamn business negotiation.

As if we’re strangers who don’t know each other at all.

“Get your cock out,” he tells me in a curt tone. “I know you’re going to come fast, so let me return the favor.”

I’m still hard and feel like I’ve been edged this whole time, but I shake my head.

“Is that what this is? A favor?”

My heart pounds harder as I ask the question. It feelslike I’m entering new territory again, territory I never thought I’d enter with Hunter.

The air feels chillier now, and a breeze is blowing in.

He glances up at me, and it’s as if I can see a silent war behind his eyes.

For a moment, I think he’s going to kiss me.

He’s never able to resist stealing a kiss from my lips.

And then something shifts.

“You don’t want to fall for me, Rayne,” he says, and now he won’t make eye contact with me at all. “If that’s what you’re trying to tell me, I don’t recommend it.”

“Liar.”

A sudden sound comes from the direction of the house and I jump.
