Ollie’s mouth slammed down on mine as the pulse of his cock spilled scorching come inside me, leaving me sobbing into his mouth as I clutched at him, keeping him close and experiencing each throb of his pleasure pouring inside me.
While my body tingled in the pleasant aftermath of the best sex I’ve ever experienced, my eyes closed and I listened to Ollie’s harsh breathing.
His warmth moved off me a few minutes later, but I still throbbed from my intense orgasm, leaving me unable to move.
I lay there recovering with only a small whimper of protest escaping my throat at his disappearance.
As I woke to a soft washcloth wiping away the evidence of our lovemaking, a sigh of contentment slipped out when Ollie covered us both with the comforter and slid in next to me, cuddling his head on my shoulder.
Overwhelmed, yet relaxed, I pulled him close, kissing his forehead, and found my voice a few minutes later.
“Are you okay?”
Ollie chuckled. “I think that’s supposed to be my question. I was a little rough at the end. How are you?”
“Well, there’s no need to move for the next several hours while I recover from the most intense orgasm I’ve ever experienced and my lungs feel as though I’ve run a marathon, but other than that, I’m perfect.”
“Yes, you are.”
The lightness in my chest expanded, and I wondered what I did in my past life to deserve this sweet man.
“You realize you’ve ruined me for anyone else. I’m looking forward to exposing you to an entire world of debauchery and if the experience is anything like this time, I’m going to hit the gym and start taking vitamins to keep up with you.”
I found him gorgeous when he tilted his head back and let out a genuine laugh. The entire time, his hand roamed over my chest, as if wanting to keep the connection strong between us.
“I can’t wait until you’re inside me.”
“Give me an hour and a half and some food. After that, I may have enough energy to rock your world.”
Another one of those addicting laughs escaped his throat as he shook his head. “You already did, so if it’s any consolation, there’s no pressure.”
As we lay there, surrounded by silence and our even breathing, something niggled in the back of my mind.
“I know we haven’t spoken a lot about my career and what it entails…” My words trailed off as worry grew in my chest.
“You’re right, we haven’t, but I sense it isn’t your career as much as your fame that’s niggling at you right now. What are you worried about?”
I’ve never met someone as observant and empathetic as Ollie, so of course he would understand.
“I know that if someone photographed us kissing, it has the possibility of turning your life upside down.”
A long minute stretched between us before Ollie gave me a soft smile and shook his head.
“Your fame is just that, yours alone. There’s no lurid information from my past and if the tabloids tried to dig for information, all they would find is a studious man with no social life.
There’s no history of acting out, drugs, or anything that might make you look bad.
I’m sure they’ll pull up information about my conservative parents, but I can’t foresee them speaking to the press about me.
They hardly acknowledged me when I was under their roof.
And if they learned about our relationship, I see it as more of a reason they’d keep their mouths shut. ”
I had been holding my breath as I worried about Ollie and how the press would speculate about him, while he worried about me and the potential impact on my career.
“You, Oliver Bright, are an exquisite human being and I’m proud to be your friend and boyfriend.”
His smile softened, and he pressed a kiss to my forehead.
“While I appreciate your sentiment, I’m guessing you’re going to point out something I might be missing?”
His thumb ran along my forehead and cheek as he waited, showing that I must’ve had worry etched on my face.
“The last thing I ever wanted was to turn your life upside down. If the press gets wind of our relationship, they may try to hurt you with the information they have proof of. Or, since I’m notorious for being a playboy, they’ll say hurtful things to get a negative reaction from you.”
His brows drew down as he searched my expression.
“Is our relationship exclusive, Connor?”
The rise of jealousy surged, running rampant through me at the thought of Ollie kissing or touching another man, which sent a thrum of pain and uneasiness through my chest.
“Yes. At least… I’m hoping we are. When I asked you to be my boyfriend, I might not have said it, but I will now. I will be loyal; there will be no straying, no cheating, no trying to make you jealous. When I decided I couldn’t live without you in my life, I committed myself to you.”
By the time I ended my declaration, Ollie’s eyes were bright with unshed tears, but the smile on his face caused my heart to skip a beat.
“Whatever they throw at us, whether it’s the truth or fiction, we’ll be on solid ground. It may have taken me twenty-two years to find you, but I refuse to allow someone who doesn’t know either of us to ruin what we have growing between us.”
“Even if?—”
“Connor, beautiful. If I have a concern, I promise to come to you and we’ll talk.
As long as we communicate, we’ll be fine.
And no, like I told you a hundred times, your past and the decisions you made are yours alone, and I will never judge you for them.
But you’re committing to me as I am to you. No worries, beautiful.”
“Okay,” I agreed, the tension relaxing.
“Besides, I’ve grown a pretty thick skin when I grew up with the professors who taught me not to value the opinions of those who don’t matter in your life.
Just promise me that if you have concerns, you come to me and we’ll get through it together.
The last thing I want to do is jeopardize this relationship because of a misunderstanding. ”
“Agreed,” I said.
Seeking both reassurance and wanting to be grounded, I leaned toward Ollie and brushed my lips against his. The jolt of throbbing need at the newness of his kisses turned into an underlying buzzing.
Ollie broke off when my stomach grumbled and he rolled out of bed.
“Food first, and then more sexy times.”
He laughed when I flopped back down on the bed and grunted. I threw off the covers and pointed at my obvious need.
“What about this?”
Ollie’s answering smirk and heated gaze snared my attention before he sauntered around the foot of the bed and headed toward the bathroom. He gave me a sly wink over his shoulder and said, “How about I suck you off in the shower as we clean off?”
After watching him disappear into the darkened room, it took me less than a second to decide I would follow that man into the depths of hell if he asked, and scrambled off the bed. I grunted as the sheet tangled around my ankle, but maneuvered out before I cracked my head open on the nightstand.
Flipping on the bathroom light, I almost choked on my tongue as Ollie, bare ass pressed against the counter, was stroking his hard cock with his head thrown back and his skin flushed.
“Why don’t you start the water warming?” He asked, voice rough.
Stumbling over to the shower without taking my eyes off the amazing sight, I flipped the handle and waited for the water to warm, and then held my hand out.
Watching him push off the counter and amble his way over to me was the absolute sexiest sight I’ve ever seen.
But when he reached me, he continued walking, herding me back into the shower before he dropped on his knees and, without preamble, sucked me down his throat.
Although I’d already come and hard, I stood on shaky legs as Ollie worshipped my cock with his fucking talented mouth. It was almost embarrassing when I felt the telltale tingle of the start of my release.
“ Carino mío . Come up here, I… need. To kiss you.”
He pulled off with a pop and stood. As I slung my arm around his waist and pulled him flush against me while wrapping my hand around both of us, rubbing precome from both of our cocks up and down, I devoured his mouth. I grew more addicted to him with each kiss.
Before long, Ollie stiffened in my arms as his cock throbbed in my hand. I followed behind, both of us still sipping at each other’s lips as we came down from our high.
“Shit, if I knew this is what a relationship was like, I’d have asked you to marry me the moment I heard you speak to the flight attendant.”
We rinsed off as Ollie shook his head. “I like to think we experience what we need to when the time is right. Besides, you had the instinct to ask me to live with you while I got my feet underneath me in L.A. and that’s how we built our friendship into something more.
And marriage is an enormous step. How did the press react when Spencer and Lee got married? ”
“Well, since his so-called best friend had outed Spencer in the press and then he and Lee gave an interview to The Hollywood Reporter , their marriage hadn’t made headlines because they kept it under wraps until they were ready to share their relationship had changed.
“But you’re right, the stories dealing with any change in a relationship make headlines. And marriage is a tremendous step. But given how I feel now, I’m sure we would have gotten to know each other to the point of friendship, even if it started off as sexual.”
Ollie shook his head as he snagged the towels, handing me one.
“Connor, beautiful. I think you needed to get to know me. Trust, especially with your heart, is something that takes time. We didn’t lose out and we have time in abundance now that we’re dating.”
After we dried ourselves off and dressed, I reached for his hand and led him downstairs and into the kitchen. The sun was even on the horizon.
“Why don’t you go out on the patio and I’ll get the food ready. We’ll enjoy our meal outside.”
Ollie hesitated a second before he leaned closer and bussed me on my cheek. After giving me his shy smile, he walked to the sliding glass doors and opened them, letting the fresh air inside, punctuated by brine from the ocean.
I grabbed the tamales along with the beans and rice, heated them up in the toaster oven, and walked both plates out to the patio. I retreated inside for two glasses and a pitcher of iced tea, grateful to know the man who meant more to me than I ever believed I deserved.
As we sat down for the impromptu dinner, I realized that the life I’d dismissed for years had been what I sought to have all along. But only with the man beside me.
