He hesitated. “Not yet.”
Yet. My mind clung to the word. I wanted that future.
“That’s okay,” I said. “Thank you for telling me.”
He pulled out of me. My pussy ached at the loss, but I respected his decision. He took the preventives from the nightstand and rolled one over his cock.
He lay back down, his arms caging me on the bed.
When he thrust into me, he felt so good I wanted to cry. He fucked me with a slow, powerful rhythm, driving me closer and closer to another climax.
Bliss exploded inside me. I cried out.
He was ruthless. He hammered into me and brought me to climax again and again. I lost count. Finally, he shuddered and pumped out his own release.
Afterwards, we lay tangled in the sheets together.
He stroked my hair, his eyes dark and unreadable. “You make me feel alive, when nothing else does in this world.”
My heart ached at the raw emotion in his words. “Wendel.”
“I’m utterly lost without you.”
“What are you saying?”
“Stay with me. Please.”
I blinked back tears. “Tonight, or forever?”
“We might not have forever.”
Unspoken words choked my throat. I hugged him close. “After I saved your life, you promised to protect me. Let me also make that promise to you.”
He swallowed hard. “You can’t save me from them.”
“Never tell me I can’t do something. That just makes me want to prove you wrong.”
“They would kill you to get to me.” He sighed. “Can I stop you from protecting me? Convince you to save yourself?”
“Not a chance in the world.”

When I woke, evening drenched the sky with violet. Shadows crept along the wall. I reached across the bed for Wendel, but he wasn’t there. Blinking sleep from my eyes, I clutched the sheet and sat upright.
“Wendel?” I called.
No reply.
My heart started to pound. Had the assassins come for him again? Or had he abandoned me? Ugly doubts squirmed inside me like worms under a rock. I shoved them away and climbed out of bed.
On the nightstand, I spotted a paper with a handwritten note.
Ardis,
I will return soon. I suspect you will also be thirsty and hungry when you wake.
Wendel
