Finch didn’t know what Hugh could or could not do. In that moment, he didn’t care. Hugh was
inside him, stretching him, filling him, and the pleasure of it all deprived Finch of any other
thought. “Please,” Finch begged, not even sure what he was begging for, but he needed… he
needed…
Hugh leaned forward, buried to the hilt in Finch’s body, and kissed his words away. From there
it was all pumping hips, flowing slick, and senselessness. Finch lost himself more than once
to his heat, only to regain hold of himself in the midst of Hugh fucking him to within an inch of
his life. It was savage and sweet, absolutely primal in execution, but based in love. Finch could
tell it from every kiss Hugh gave him and from the tenderness with which the dragon caressed
his body.
Finch lost his grip on reality again. When he came to, Hugh had his hand wrapped around
Finch’s own cock.
“Come for me, Finch,” Hugh urged him, his voice a low growl. “I want to feel you come before
I give you your first knot.”
That alone was enough to nearly make Finch come. Hugh’s voice, deep and sexy and so self-
assured, telling him to do the filthiest things, was beyond anything he’d ever imagined. With a
strangled cry, he pushed himself as hard as he could against Hugh’s hand and let go. Orgasm
ripped through him, tightening his body and relieving some of the effects of his heat. While it
happened, Hugh groaned and moved even more violently within Finch. It was divine. Finch
rode out the pleasure, floating on post-orgasmic bliss. Then Hugh shouted and stilled, and a
new kind of pleasure took hold as Hugh’s knot swelled inside of him, stretching him beyond
what he’d thought possible. Pain and pleasure mingled, one sweetening the other until there
was no part of Finch that wasn’t under its spell.
“God, Finch,” Hugh breathed through it all. Hot cum rushed into Finch, and Hugh folded him
back a little more as if to encourage it to sink deeper. “God… I’ve never, never experienced
something like this with anyone else. Never. You are the one for me. The only one. And I hope
that for all of time, I might be the only one for you, too. I know that we have but decades, but I
swear I will be yours until the end. I promise it with every fiber of my being.”
Finch’s heart lurched and tears pricked his eyes. Hugh truly was in love with him. Deeply and
irrevocably in love. No matter which angle Finch framed it from, it was a foregone conclusion.
