“I would have let you,” I confessed.

“Would you?” he mused. “Are you sure? I bared my heart to you, and you’ve given me little to nothing in return.”

“Am I nothing?” I teased, running my fingers through that incredible hair.

“No, mi reina. You’re everything.” Sincerity dripped from his words, but the devotion on his face was what made my heart stutter. Had he always looked at me like that, or was this the piece of him he’d kept hidden to protect his heart and mine?

Would he always look at me that way? I hoped so.

I pulled him to me for a kiss and rolled us. I trailed my lips along the warm muscles he worked hard for every day. Muscles I’d dreamed of but could never touch. When I ran my tongue along the waistband of his briefs, he hissed, hips bucking. It took me no time to strip the last of his clothes until he was naked below me.

With a hand softly caressing his thigh, I stared. Just took my time soaking in a naked—and slightly vulnerable—Greyson.

Softly golden skin, lean muscles, and a seriously nice dick. Add in the sex hair and those eyes that felt like they saw all the way through me, and even if I hadn’t been in love with the man, I’d have been sunk.

How had I not realized how fucking beautiful Greyson was? Well, I had, but I’d ignored it. I’d pretended he wasn’t, so I didn’t have to think about the one thing I could never have.

Except now I did.

“You can’t stare at me like that if you want this to last,” he rasped.

“Stare at you like what?”

“Like you want to devour me.”

“But I do.” I grinned, adjusting so I was inches away from his cock. “And I plan to.”

“No.” Admittedly, I pouted, but I didn’t even care when he laughed, loud and carefree. It’d been so long since I’d heard him laugh like that. “I’ll let you suck every drop later, baby. But right now, I need to be inside you.”

Well, okay, then.

With a wicked grin, he wrapped a hand around my neck and pulled us both up until his back was against the headboard. Chest to chest, eye to eye, with his cock nestled between my folds. It was the most intimate position I’d ever been in, and I didn’t mind at all. “Condoms?”

“I’m clean, and I’m on birth control. Haven’t had a new partner since I got tested.” Which he already knew because he’d gone to the doctor with me, but it felt necessary to repeat.

He brushed my hair out of my face, cupping my cheek reverently. “I’m clean. I got tested a few weeks ago just in case, but I haven’t been with anyone in years.”

That floored me. “Years? But I thought?—”

“There was no one else I wanted to keep, and I couldn’t stand the thought of hurting you over someone temporary. My hand worked just fine.” He said it like it meant nothing, but I could see what it cost him.

While I’d done whatever—and whoever—I could to ease the ache of loneliness, he’d been stuck there watching. Celibate in his own personal hell.

And I’d never even noticed.

“I’m sorry, Grey,” I whispered, pressing kisses everywhere I could reach.

“I’m not. I would have endured it for the rest of my life if it meant I got one night with you. This is more than I could’ve asked for.”

This man was going to ruin me. I could feel it. Good thing I didn’t care.

I slid myself against him until his dick was coated in my arousal, and it pulled a groan from his chest. “Are you sure about this? Because once I’ve had you, there’s no going back for me. This is forever.”

“Are you sex-drunk already, love?” I asked with a laugh. “I thought most people confessed their love, but that sounds like a proposal.”

His head snapped up, eyes wide. “Call me that again.”

If someone had told me he’d won the lottery, I’d have believed it just from the way he glowed at the nickname. The joy he felt was enough to bring a smile to my own lips, so I leaned over, whispering it again. “Love.”
