With a shuddering breath of anticipation, I removed my fingers and positioned myself against his crease. Want throbbed through me, the evidence of my own arousal already beading from the tip. Gently, I nudged his hole. He tensed in anticipation, and I slowly inched my way in.

“Fuck.” He keeled forward and gripped the branches of the headboard for purchase, the muscles along his back corded anddownright seductive. Just like before, I took my time. The sensation of him drawing me in, little by little, was delicious agony. Everything narrowed to where we were connected. The tight pressure of him surrounding me, enveloping me completely, sent me into a state of pure bliss. Each ragged breath that passed between us only served to strengthen our passion. I knew we’d come undone together, and there was no better arousal than the anticipation of that moment.

My throat dried at the sight of me fully seated in him. I dug my fingers into his waist, anchoring myself there, as I fought for control. So badly did I want to lose myself completely in him.

“Gods, Kost. I…” Words escaped me. How could I even begin to explain everything I was feeling? All of my repressed desires, my nights of longing for the man arching his back beneath me, surfaced in my mind. I bent my head to the space between his shoulders and nicked his skin with my teeth. “You’re too much. I can hardly stand it.”

“So don’t.” His voice was thick with something more than want. Something deeper and heady and bigger than this moment. “Lose yourself with me. Completely.”

Then, he rocked into me once. Twice. He relaxed completely and let out a guttural, pleased groan.

The last of my control snapped. Pure, unbridled lust coursed through me, and I began moving with abandon. I stroked his cock in tandem with my thrusts, and he pushed into me, the two of us joined together in perfect unison. The sight of him consumed me. The corded muscles of his back trembling in ratcheting levels of desire. The way he peeked over his shoulder to hold my gaze as he moaned. The space where I lost myself in him. He was so fucking stunning, and I was lucky enough to call him my partner.

Something dangerous brewed in my chest. Maybe it was the same thing that filled Kost’s voice with emotion. What was happening between us… It wasn’t just sex. I knew it from the moment webecame one. It was so obvious to me that it was impossible not to name it.

We were making love.

“Gaige,” Kost moaned. Chills raced over my skin. He had to feel it, too.

I didn’t dare utter those words. Not yet. They were too raw, too real, and we’d only just started down the path to figuring us out. Instead, I let myself fall completely into him. I stopped thinking, stopped trying to name things we weren’t ready to face, and simply reveled in him. Our movements were synced as if we’d been partners for ages. The subtle shifts to deepen my thrusts, the demanding way we sought out each other’s lips. When he tipped his head back and exposed the tantalizing curve of his neck, I greedily pressed bruising kisses beneath his ear.

“Yes.” He dragged out that single word with a heated breath, and my own desires came to a head. Need coiled tight in my groin, just begging to be released. My grip on his cock tightened as I increased my speed.

“Kost. I need you to come, baby. I need…”

A wondrous, heady moan burst from Kost’s lips as his orgasm spilled over my fingers. The sensation drove me over the edge, and that twisting desire seated within my groin shattered as my own climax racked my body. Shudders of pleasure raced over my skin, and I buried myself deep as I pressed my forehead to his back. Kost went limp in my arms, and I held him tight against my chest, unwilling to lose the feeling of his skin against mine.

I didn’t know how long we stayed like that, lost in the afterglow of something beautiful and long overdue. But when Kost turned so he could capture my lips with his, my body finally relented, and I pulled him under the sheets with me. Tucking him against my side, I placed a feathery kiss on his shoulder.

“That was…”

“Incredible,” Kost murmured.

I chuckled. “Yes. Yes it was.”

The beginnings of sleep tugged on my senses, and I hugged him closer. He shifted without complaint, and within minutes the subtle rise and fall of his chest turned heavy. I couldn’t recall the last time I’d felt such happiness, even before I’d died. But now I had my beasts back. I had a family to help me through any obstacle I faced. And I had Kost. His presence gave me peace, and I let myself succumb to slumber without fear of what my dreams would hold.

KOST

Gaige was magnificent to behold.

He’d fallen asleep on his stomach with his arms tucked beneath his pillow, and the linen sheets were bunched around his waist. Buttery-yellow light from the morning sun slanted through the windows, highlighting the smooth skin of his back. My gaze roved along the length of his spine and the dip above his waist. I’d never allowed myself to study his backside before, but now it was impossible not to fantasize about the round, muscular shape of his ass or the thickness of his thighs. A tingling flushed over my skin as desire thrummed through my body.

“You’ve been staring at my rump for five minutes now.”

I jolted as heat ravaged my cheeks. A mischievous glint flickered through Gaige’s steel-blue eyes, and he smirked.

“I thought you were sleeping,” I said.

“Don’t stop ogling on my account. I quite enjoy it.” His voice was more like a deep purr, and blood raced toward my groin. Hickory curls fell across his cheekbones, and my fingers burned with the desire to bury themselves once again in his hair. Or trace the faint stubble along his jawline. A shiver crawled down my spine at the thought.

Gaige reached over with delicate fingers and trailed along the curve of my neck, as if he were tracking the rampant gooseflesh betraying my desires. “Of course, I’d be more than willing to let you explore with something other than your eyes.”

My face went impossibly hot. It was completely illogical for me to feel so…exposed. I’d already bared myself to him in a way I hadn’t with anyone since Jude. And yet, the thought of being vulnerable again in the soft light of morning had me reddening as if it were our first time together.

Something hungry lit in Gaige’s stare. “That blush of yours…” His touch wandered to my cheeks, my ears. “It makes me want to lose myself in you all over again.”
