He leaned over me and grabbed the lube for us.That offered me a nice though brief view of his chest once more.He looked at me with his eyebrow raised when he lay back down.

“What do you look so happy about?”

“You’re really good-looking, and I like it.I noticed before, but I see you in a different light now.”

He huffed and shook the bottle.“And what light is that?”

“Oh, you know.You’re really good-looking, but I’m the only person who gets to see you.You’re mine.I think I like that.”

He stopped shaking the bottle, the hand that was holding it frozen between us.He didn’t speak.His gaze was intense, and it created a tension, like static in the air.

I wanted to know so badly what he was thinking, wanted to ask and prod and make him tell me.I couldn’t do that though.He’d never make me give him anything I didn’t want to give, and I had no right to do it to him either.In many ways, we were different, not equal.Yet, we trusted one another.Soyer respected me.I was sure that meant he went out of his way to make me comfortable more often than not.I didn’t want to break the respect that had grown side by side with the love I was feeling for him.I had no right to.

I cupped his cheek.“Is it okay to say that?I don’t mean that I own you, I just—”

He kissed me urgently.Hungrily.Only when it was getting hard to breathe, when he’d flipped me on my back did he stop.

“It’s okay to say that.You can tell me every day.Every hour of every day, my heart.”

“That’s excessive, but I’ll tell you more often.You have me pinned, you know?”

He raised his brow.“You don’t like that?”

“No, I do.But I can’t…uhm…I can’t spread my legs.If you have them pinned like this.”

“Ah.Sounds like you’re in a hurry to open them for me.Is it always like that, Amory?You can’t wait to get cock, and you get pushy?”

For the life of me, I couldn’t fathom why him talking to me like that in moments like this did what it did to me.It was arousing.It made me want to…receive.To be used, almost.The only trouble was, I was never sure what to say.

“Maybe?”

“I see.Plausible deniability, in case you get caught, huh?Well, let me take care of that needy hole of yours.”

He shifted to get between my legs, but he didn’t let me turn back onto my side.I didn’t mind at all.

“Ah!”My head rolled back on the pillow when he touched me.He wasn’t doing much, just cupping my balls, but I hadn’t seen where his hand was going.He’d surprised me.

“Nice.Now, let’s see, what am I going to do with you?It’ll take a lot of work to satisfy you, won’t it?”

“No, not at all.”

He chuckled, and I saw him squeeze lube into his hand.“You don’t think so?Well, Amory, I see the situation quite differently.You’re a wild one, and you’re just the kind of guy who’d rather gorge himself than savor something good, isn’t that right?”

“No…?”I hoped that was the right thing to say in the fantasy he was building.

“Hmm.”He stroked my cock.“Then do you think a few tugs are going to do it for you?”

My eyes focused on him.“No!I mean, I want this.We’re doing this, right?I really want to have sex with you, Soyer.”

His face could be the softest thing, full of love.“I know, my heart.I was playing.Do you want to keep playing?”

I nodded.“Maybe I shouldn’t, but I really like it.”

I lay back, and Soyer whispered in my ear, “There’s nothing you shouldn’t like, and you can’t be wrong for liking something that brings you pleasure and doesn’t hurt another.”

“Okay.Should I keep saying no?”

“Only if you feel like you want to keep denying how loose this hole of yours is.”
