“Of course I want it,” he breathes. “But, Abdiel, it’s… I need you to be sure.”

“I’m sure. I have been for a long time,” I tell him with more certainty than words could ever convey. “There’s a reason I haven’t done it yet.”

“Mmm… and what’s that, beautiful?” He croons to me, rich and possessive yet so needy, forme. I can’t believe it.

Moving my lips to his ear, I whisper, “I was… I was waiting for you.”

Fuck, he growls loud in his mind and abruptly flips me onto my back, pinning me to the mattress as his lips come for mine. He kisses me fierce, deep, forcefully treasuring. Exactly how I always imagined he would kiss, only better. Because this isn’t a dream. It’s not a fantasy anymore…

This isreal. His hands are all over my chest and my waist, tugging at my clothes while his teeth tug my lips, hard enough that I might bleed, but I don’t care. Not one bit. I need this.

I need you…

My hands are racked with nervous trembles as they move over his chest, feeling the solid muscles there, curves of his pectorals making me hard, unlike anything I could have imagined. Then down to the stones of his abs, wavering just a moment before I get to where his big dick pushes against his pants.

“You’re teasing me, love.” The lazy grin in his voice would be audible even if I couldn’t feel it on my mouth.

My palm covers his erection and we both groan. “You’re sohard.”

“That’s all you.” He moves his lips to my neck.

I shudder. “Imake you this hard?”

“Mhmm… You’re addicting, sweet Abdiel.”

Mmm… I love the sound of that.

I rub him a little more, feeling him flex into my palm. I can’t believe this is happening… I’m finally getting what I’ve always wanted. I’m finally doing what I’ve put off for so long because I didn’t want it with anyone else.

And my waiting has paid off. This iseuphoric.

I never want it to stop.

And then there’s a knock at the door. It startles me enough that I jump, heart lodging in my throat. But Darian doesn’t seem fazed by it.

“Ignore them,” he grumbles, sucking my pulse while his hand goes for my erection. My eyes fall closed, then dart back open when the knocking happens again, louder this time.

“Go away,” Darian snarls at the door, a chill zipping up my spine and simultaneously zapping me in the balls.

God, he’s fucking sexy.

“Sir, it’s uh… it’s an emergency,” Cam’s voice stutters from behind the door. “Drake’s calling for you. It sounds serious.”

Darian pauses and then sighs in defeat, head dropping forward onto my chest. “Motherfucker.”

I can’t help the grin that hijacks my puffy lips. He lifts, grinning back at me, a sexy little chuckle escaping him as he kisses me once more, this time so soft and sweet I’m swooning all over the place.

“I suppose I must go attend to this…” He sounds endlessly upset about it, and I have no choice but to lean up and kiss away his worry.

“Of course you do. You’re a good leader. The best.”

He gives me a look, his hand resting over my heart for a beat before he sits up and scoots off of me. He crawls off the bed and tries to compose himself, turning back to me while I sit up, doing the same.

“Will you still be here when I return?” He looks so hopeful.

I’m dying to say yes, but I’m not sure that’s wise. What would I do anyway? Sleep in here? Sneak out in the morning like some kind of secret tryst?

That doesn’t sound like fun, although I’m sure what could happen when he returns would be.
