I crept across the hall, slowly pushing open the guest bedroom door. The room was pitched in darkness, so quiet, all I heard was my rapidly beating heart. I found the bed from memory, but once I was there, I stood beside it, unsure why I’d come.
“Get in.” Amir’s lacquered voice cut through the darkness. The covers rustled as he pushed them back for me. I lay down beside him before I could talk myself out of it, and he covered us both.
“Did I wake you up?” I whispered.
“No.” He pulled me over to his side so we were chest to chest and almost nose to nose. “I was lying here, wondering how I was supposed to sleep when you were in another bed across the hall. Last thing I expected was for you to creep in here.”
“I was having similar thoughts. You’ve been holding me all day, and it’s really greedy of me to ask for more, but—”
“Take it, Zadie. The only reason I’m here is for you. You need my arms, my strength, anything I have, it’s yours.”
Exhaling, I reached up and touched his lips in the dark. “We shouldn’t be doing this.”
“Maybe not. But I’m not in a place where I’m thinking about tomorrow. You’re here, you’re touching me, letting me touch you, I’m not going to stop it.”
He leaned forward, running his nose along mine, then his lips ghosted over the corner of my mouth. My fingers trailed down his jaw to the sides of his neck, pulling his face closer. Our lips met again, fitting together like lock to key. We stayed like that, connected and breathing each other in until one of us moved. It was hard to say which of us it was, but it didn’t matter.
He twisted, and I unlocked. Barriers dropped, we took from each other what we both needed and had gone too long without. We were nothing but hands and lips, touching, hugging, kissing, tasting.
My worries fell away with each discarded piece of clothing. Amir’s mouth traveling down my body brought me to a different place where it was only the two of us. He buried his face between my legs, and we were back in his bedroom when what we had was blossoming into the beauty it became.
Fingers sank into my flesh as he held me to his mouth, licking me and sucking my lips the way he’d discovered drove me to the brink. Pressure built in my core until I had to curve the pillow around my face to muffle my cries. Amir didn’t pause. He groaned as he lapped at me, both of us soaked. I stroked my fingers through his hair as he stroked me with his tongue. He brought me over so lovingly, with absolute adoration, I choked back a sob as I cried his name.
That brought him up, nestling his hips between my thighs, his face as close to mine as he could get it. His wide head teased my entrance as he peered down at me. Even in the dark, his midnight eyes gleamed so I could see them studying me. I held his face in my hands, rubbing my palms on his scruff. He leaned into my touch, another groan spilling out of him.
“I need you,” I whispered.
“I require you,” he answered back.
I wrapped my legs around his waist as he sank into me. It was a slow slide, my body opening to him willingly, his seeking the end of me. When he was buried to the root, he stopped. My legs tightened, keeping him so deep inside me, I felt him in my belly. Eventually, he’d have to move, but we were as joined as two people could get, and through the silence, we communicated that neither of us was in a hurry to rush it.
“Zadie.” He caressed my face, kissed my eyelids, the corners of my mouth. “I require you.”
I nodded, letting that huge statement sink into me as deep as he was. I didn’t know how to reply with words, so I lifted my head and kissed every inch of his skin I could reach. He shuddered, finally moving his hips back and surging into me again.
We made slow love, because there was no denying that was what we were doing. I didn’t think either of us knew whether this was hello or goodbye. I knew for certain it was necessary. I had to hold him, feel him, touch him, taste him as surely as I had to breathe.
Amir brought me over again and again, with his fingers and his cock, kissing me through each time I shattered under him. I was wrung out, limp, boneless, yet I still ached for him. My lips sought his with frantic need. What exactly I needed, I couldn’t say, just that his lips were where I found my answer.
Eventually, in the middle of the night, Amir let go. Like he’d held my trembling body, I embraced his. He quietly roared my name into my neck, his hips jerking against mine as he spilled liquid heat deep inside me.
We stayed like that, panting, joined together everywhere we could be joined. And then, even though I thought it would be impossible, I fell asleep while the man I loved—but might have just said my last goodbye to—kissed my face and tucked me against his thrumming heart.
