Chapter 18
SEPTEMBER 24 – WEDNESDAY 1:03 AM
T heo
Oh fuck, I was in trouble—yanked out of sleep as a muscled leg wrapped around mine and a thick forearm pulled me back into a body that I would know anywhere. Liam. His touch was encoded in my mind and every fiber of my being, like he’d managed to crawl under my skin and become one with me.
“What are you doing in here,” I whispered, my voice hitching as he bit down at the base of my neck and began to suck. Liam was marking me, and instead of pushing him off, I groaned and gave him more space.
“I can’t go without you,” he said, and I shivered as he nipped at my skin. “I will give you whatever you need, but I can’t lose you.”
Turning my head to look at him, the sliver of moonlight coming through the window made his eyes glow an unearthly shade of gold. “You mean that?”
“I’ve always meant it. I just don’t know how to prove that you’ve never embarrassed me.”
“So, you deny that I embarrass you?”
“Of course, you don’t fucking embarrass me. I don’t even know where the fuck you got that idea. I…I’m private and don’t like anyone knowing anything about me, you know that, but if you want me to send out a public announcement, I will. Just stop pushing me away. It’s killing me.”
“What about Ren?”
Liam shrugged, and I had to bite back the gasp as his hand drifted down my abs and wrapped around my cock. My back arched off the bed as he ran his hand up to the crown, teasing me before gliding all the way down.
“I’m going to go away with her. I’ll attempt to connect like I promised. But if it doesn’t work out with me, then I’ll concede without argument that she will be part of your life. My only condition is that when we are spending time alone, it’s just us. She doesn’t come up, and you don’t push me to try again. When we have time carved out for the two of us, you’re mine,” he growled and cupped my balls, making me moan for him.
“You want to compromise?”
He shifted us so that his body blanketed mine, pressing me into the mattress. It felt completely natural to move my arms up my pillow and over my head, allowing him to grip my wrists and trap them. His touch was searing, and the feel of his cock rubbing against mine had my heart pounding out of control.
“It’s not a traditional third situation. Then again, the entire relationship is already overly complicated with Blake, Myles, and, at some point, Nash.” He paused for dramatic effect. “We both know that’s inevitable.” I nodded. “If you want to spend time with her, I won’t fight it or make your life difficult, and as I said, I will try….”
“You just can’t make any promises,” I finished for him.
“Yes, that too. But that’s not what I was going to say.”
Liam flexed his hips, and I couldn’t deny that I’d yearned for him like a starving person for a scrap of food.
“I love you, Theo. I always have, and I’m sorry for every shitty thing I’ve done to make you feel like you’re not the most important person in my life. I would sell my soul to keep you.”
Despite everything else I was feeling at the moment, shock won out as the top emotion. Liam hardly ever opened up, and he certainly didn’t apologize. Not without conditions on the end of it. Words like ‘but’ always accompanied his asking for forgiveness.
“You fucking made me cry, asshole.”
“Well, you did have your head shoved so far up your ass that you couldn’t see what you were doing to me.”
His face grew serious, and with each beat of my heart, it felt like he was digging deeper into my soul.
“You’re right. I was happy not to rock the boat and just keep things the way they were. I lost touch with who I am, who you are, and who we are together. I needed to hear it, but more than that, I needed to feel it.” I glanced over at the other side of the room. “Blake’s not here. He’s with Myles in Ren’s room.”
“And you know that how?”
He smiled. “I may or may not have orchestrated it.”
“Devious,” I teased and thrust up with my hips. Our sweet moment ended as his eyes darkened. Liam attacked my mouth like it had been years since we were separated. Settling into my bed, I melted under his demanding touch that silently ordered me to hand myself over to whatever he wanted.
He growled at me and reared back. No one pulled off the deep, raspy sound like Liam, and I shuddered as it traveled all the way through my body.
“You’re mine, Theo, and I will do this thing with Ren, but I swear to God if you ever threaten to leave me again for someone else…no one will ever find their body.”
Instead of being pissed or terrified, I tugged my hands-free and wrapped them around his neck. He made me as crazy as the statement he’d just said. Our movements became frantic, desperation clawing at us both.
“I’m yours,” I groaned against his lips, and he shivered.
“Fucking right you are,” he said, rubbing himself against my shaft. I was ready to come after being so unbelievably pent up from the lack of his touch. Liam slithered down my body like a snake, flicking his tongue over my nipple, making me jerk against the pleasure.
“Say it again. Who do you fucking belong to?”
Liam disappeared under the covers, his teeth nibbling at my abs as he neared my cock.
“You,” I said, grunting when the flat of his tongue licked my full length. “Fuck.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes,” I said without hesitation this time.
“Say it louder,” he ordered, slipping my cock into his mouth.
My eyes rolled back in my head.
“I’m yours,” I said again, but it wasn’t any better as he began to suck, stealing the last of the logic in my brain.
“You can do better than that,” he growled.
When did it get so fucking hot in here? It felt like he’d set fire to my skin. I kicked the blanket off, needing to see him. Those dark whiskey eyes looked up at me as he swallowed me all the way down into his throat.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck.”
I knew Liam’s rules and I wasn’t allowed to move or come until he gave his permission. This was delicious torture that always ended with a soul-shattering orgasm.
“That’s not what I asked you. Should I stop?” Liam pulled his hot mouth off my cock.
Panic, pure blind panic.
“No, please don’t stop.”
“Then fucking yell as loud as you can,” he snarled, squeezing my shaft.
I moaned, but no words came out as I held back my release. The eruption was so close that droplets of come dripped from the head. They landed on Liam’s hand, and he licked them up.
Sucking in a deep breath, I yelled. “I’m yours.”
Liam smirked.
“That’s more like it.”
He gripped tighter, and a throbbing started in my cock, making it swell. It wasn’t painful in the traditional sense, but the overwhelming desire for a release that was just out of reach had my head thrashing from side to side. He swirled his tongue around my sensitive tip until I was reduced to a whimpering mess, but he wasn’t done pushing me. Liam sucked me like his life depended on it. I swore, fisting the sheet in an attempt to maintain some composure.
“You want to come?”
“Yes.”
“Will I ever need to remind you who you belong to again?”
“No! I’m yours. I’ll always be yours, forever.”
“Very good. You deserve a reward.”
His voice was so gravelly with desire that it sounded like he’d gargled with whiskey and sandpaper. Liam released the pressure on my aching cock.
My body quaked as I tried to remain still.
“You can move and come now.”
Digging my fingers into his messy hair and thrusting up into his mouth, a roar tumbled from my lips as I came. Liam never missed a beat, and even as my body froze with the intensity of being sling-shotted out into the stratosphere, he sucked and swallowed.
“Fucking incredible,” I said, flopping back on my pillow completely spent.
But we were just getting started. God help me because I’d let him do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, for the rest of my life.
SEPTEMBER 24 – WEDNESDAY 1:33 AM
Liam
Nothing brought me more joy than seeing him like this. When Theo was completely and thoroughly satisfied, something undefinable happened inside of me. He gave me a gift that millions would never have and that was a connection so deep our souls entwined.
I palmed my cock as his chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm. Opening his nightstand drawer, I grabbed the lube and smirked. Theo’s eyes fluttered open, and his gaze locked on my cock just in time to watch me squeeze a healthy dollop out before tossing it back in the drawer. He licked his lips and started to push himself up.
“What are you doing?”
“I was going to roll over,” he said, and I shook my head.
He looked startled. Taking him while I could stare into his spring-green eyes was not normal for us, but that was going to change. How far I’d fallen that my Sub thought I didn’t care. That was never happening again.
The bed creaked as I kneeled between Theo’s outstretched legs. I kept my gaze locked on him as I pushed his knees up. I teased him for a few minutes to get him ready before I pressed my cock slowly into his tight hole. No matter how many times I fucked him, he was always incredibly tight. I was groaning and panting by the time I got all nine inches inside of his ass.
“Fuck yes,” Theo groaned and shuddered under me.
Holding still, I let him adjust. Not that either of us needed much time, but it also gave me the opportunity to do something I hadn’t before. Gripping the back of Theo’s neck, I drew him up to my lips. Our tongues lashed as I released all the frustration that had built since the cabin and put it into the kiss.
“You never break up with me again,” I ordered through swollen lips, and his green eyes shimmered back at me. “And I promise never to make you feel like you need to.”
“Then you have a deal.”
“Fuck me,” I groaned, pulling almost all the way out and slowly pushing back in.
Bracing my arms next to Theo’s head, I never looked away. Picking a pace that was as agonizingly perfect as it was tortuous. No more needed to be said between us. Every touch was a conversation.
Gritting my teeth, I held on until Theo was a writhing mess beneath me, his fingers digging into my shoulders and his face twisted in pleasure. Sweat trickled down my back, and my arms burned, but it had never felt so good to push myself. As his panting turned into desperate pleas, I knew he was close again and picked up the pace until I was ruthlessly pounding into him.
Just as he was about to come, I released my tightly wound control and allowed myself to enjoy the moment. Hanging onto Theo’s reins gave me extreme satisfaction, but the minutes of complete abandon felt even sweeter.
“Fuck yes,” Theo yelled as he came.
His cock kicked as his release landed on his stomach. And that was all it took for me to come with him. I didn’t stop moving until every last drop had been spent, and then I collapsed in a tangle of limbs. I kissed the mark I’d made earlier and couldn’t believe that I’d almost lost him.
“Shower,” I asked, and Theo nodded.
He stopped me as I started to push myself up, and I searched his face.
“I love you, Liam. I always have and always will. Even when you’re being a thoughtless, stubborn, pompous asshat.”
I chuckled and kissed him before climbing off the bed.
“Have any other adjectives you’d like to call me,” I asked as we got to our feet.
“I have many.”
That made me laugh. Fuck, I’d missed this. One day, one week, or one year, it made no difference any time spent without Theo felt like an eternity.
