Arlo carries me around to his side of the bed then tosses me onto the mattress. I bounce once, then shimmy up to sit against the headboard. His intense gaze pins me in place as he sits on the edge of the bed, then reaches over to open the top drawer of his nightstand, retrieving a black velvet box.

My heart near bursts out of my chest at the sight of it, my pulse thrumming in my ears, and I can’t tear my gaze away from the intimidating box as he turns to face me. Palms sweating, I rub them on my shorts as my anxiety spikes.

“Hey, don’t look so worried,” he croons, reaching over and tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. “Whatever you’re thinking right now, this isn’t that.”

“Okaaay… So, whatisit then?”

He smiles as he extends the box to me. “Open it and see.”

I swallow, my throat tight and scratchy, and rub my palms over my shorts one last time. With shaking hands, I take it. It’s flatter and larger than a ring box, so that’s something. It’s also enough to calm my jittery nerves some. I flip the top open then smile so hard my cheeks hurt. “Oh, my God! I love it!” I throw my arms around his neck, squeezing him as tight as I can.

“You wanna put it on?” he asks.

“Umm yes!” I hold my arm out for him to do it for me.

He chuckles as he takes the black corded bracelet from the box and opens it, refastening it around my wrist with thehandcuffslatch. Then, as if this moment couldn’t possibly get any better, he presents a second box. And like I did to him, he holds his arm out toward me.

I tilt my head as he offers me the second box. “What’s this?”

Arlo just smirks.

Taking it, I flick it open to find a matching corded bracelet, but where the cuffs on mine are brushed silver, these are brushed bronze. My eyes prickle as I pick his up then fasten it around his wrist.

He leans forward, cups my cheek, and rubs the pad of his thumb gently under my eye as a tear falls. “I love you. And I will never forget the day we met for as long as I live. I would happily be cuffed to you forever. But until the day comes when I can put a ring on your finger, I’ll wear this to show everyone I’m yours, and you’re mine.”

I sniffle and blink rapidly as tears blur my vision. “You need to stop being so sweet or I’m going to snot all over your nice bedspread.”

“I can do that. One more thing first,” he says, a wicked grin curling his lips a split second before he grabs my ankle and yanks, dragging me down the bed until I’m flat on my back and he’s hovering above me. He nudges the tip of my nose with his. “Move in with me?”

My head bobs in a nod before I can get the words out of my mouth. “Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes!”

He seals his mouth over mine, then we’re all lips and teeth and tongues as we struggle to divest each other of our clothes as fast as possible. We’ve made each other come a hundred times over the last few months, but we haven’t had sex yet. And I want it, bad.

“Arlo,” I moan as he licks the sensitive spot behind my ear. “I don’t wanna wait anymore. I need to feel you. I need you inside me.”

His head snaps up, his gaze liquid heat and the darkest most decadent chocolate I’ve seen them yet. He licks his lips, a flash of indecision marring his features. “I wanted to make it special, this isn—”

“Thisis perfect. Now get inside me before I lose my mind.”

This time when his mouth takes mine, it’s sweet, then passionate, then possessive as his tongue delves between my lips, tangling with mine. He rocks his hips, and I wrap my ankles around the backs of his thighs, urging him closer.

“Condom,” he pants.

I shake my head. We’ve had this talk, we’re both clean and haven’t been with anyone else in months. “No condom, I want to feel you.”

His eyes search mine before he nods. “If you’re sure.”

I grin. “I’msosure.”

With one hand, he reaches between our bodies, tracing a finger through my folds before dipping it inside me. He groans. “You’re always so fucking wet and ready for me.”

“Uh-ha,” I whimper, lifting my hips, chasing his fingers as he pumps them inside me a few more times before withdrawing them and bringing them to his mouth.

He closes his eyes as he tastes me, smearing my essence over his bottom lip. “Fuck, you’re delicious. I’m going to love waking up to taste you every morning.”

I nod. That sounds great to me. Best incentive I’ve ever heard to move in with someone. “If I hadn’t already agreed to move in, I would after an offer like that.”

Arlo grins, then kisses me softly. “It wasn’t an offer, it was a promise.” His dick glides through my wet folds, and I shiver. “One way or another, I’ll have your taste on my tongue every day.” He draws his hips back, angles them until I feel his tip at my entrance, then thrusts.
