Finally, after floating around in sensual subspace, our hearts slowly calmed. Ryder hissed through his teeth as he withdrew, reluctance all over him to leave.
His gaze locked between my legs. With dark eyes and a dirty grin, he ran a single finger through the slick mess we’d made. Holding up his glistening finger, he smirked. “Seeing you full of my cum is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.” Leaning over me, he drew a love heart right over my breast, branding me in our sinful mix.
I didn’t ask what that meant and he didn’t say anything else.
With slightly shaking hands, he unbuckled the collar from around my wrists and I corralled my floppy limbs to remove the one from around his throat.
The moment we were restraint free, we tumbled together again.
Drawn to each other. Unable to stay apart.
Spooning me from behind, Ryder pulled my overheated tingling body into his front. His still-slippery cock wedged against my ass cheeks.
We were sticky and gross, but we made no move to leave.
I stilled as his arms wrapped right around me, hugging me hard. We didn’t speak but once the hug ended, he murmured, “You know, don’t you?”
That you’re falling for me?
That you like me more than you should?
I snuggled into him. “I think so.”
Another minute passed.
I whispered, “And you know, too?”
That I’m falling for you.
That I like you far more than I should.
His arms tightened, repeating what I’d said, “I think so.”
I whispered, “Does that scare you?”
“Fucking terrifies.”
“What do we do?”
He sighed, taking his sweet time to reply. “We just let go, fall, and hope to God we land in the same place.”
Silence fell.
Thoughts turned heavy.
But the fear turned to acceptance, knowing we were both in the same sinking love boat.
That was all there was to it.
We would drown or float together.
Tapping my hip, Ryder sat up and helped hoist me from the rumpled bed. “Come on, best friend in the world. Up.”
My hair tumbled around me as I stood on wobbly legs. “After what we just did, I better be more than just your friend.”
“Girlfriend?”
“The best girlfriend.”
