“What time is it?” he said.
“Almost morning,” I said. “The sky’s just beginning to lighten.”
He yawned and stretched. Then he looked over at me and I back at him. We both wore shy smiles.
Would it be awkward between us now? I wondered. Would he revert to his old ways after he’d gotten what he wanted?
He surprised me when he gently cupped my face in his hand and rubbed his thumb over my cheek.
I guess not.
I leaned my face into his palm. Our roles had fully reversed once more, with him in control and me subservient.
But that wasn’t quite true, was it? We were both dominant, and we were both subservient. It felt like an equal relationship.
“I think you should go back to your room,” I said.
His thumb stopped stroking my cheek. He looked at me questioningly.
“You’re not comfortable with us like this?” he said.
“I’m not comfortable with Cleb learning about us yet,” I said. “It might come as a bit of a shock. And I think he’s had enough shocks recently, don’t you?”
Traes thought for a moment and nodded.
“Yes,” he said. “Yes, you’re right.”
He hunted for his clothes and slipped them on. He smiled when he found his shirt no longer had buttons. He folded my clothes and placed them on a chair.
After he finished dressing, he paused to look at me. He ran his eyes appreciatively over me, and unless I was much mistaken, he growled at the back of his throat.
“How am I going to resist touching you when you look so good?” he said.
His words melted the walls I began installing around my heart. I didn’t want to get hurt. Sometimes things changed after sex. And not always for the best.
“We’ll just have to be careful, won’t we?” I said.
I went up onto my tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. He held me and fed the kiss more passion. Soon, his hands were all over me and I felt him grow stiff against my belly.
I pulled back.
“Gone by morning, remember?” I said.
He held up his hands in surrender.
“Okay okay,” he said. “Just… try not to be so irresistible. For my sake.”
I laughed and poked my tongue out.
“I’ll try,” I said.
He opened the door and checked the coast was clear. He glanced at me once more before slipping into the hallway.
And was gone.
I met Cleb outside his room. He still looked a little tired and weary. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
“Sleep well?” I said.
