Chapter 27
LEX
Feeling pretty good about myself right now.
Well, mark the fucking calendar. Lex Barinov finally had a dick down his throat.
And yeah, no regrets.
Not a single one.
I’m not going to lie, it was hot as hell feeling Cade thicken against my tongue and watching the way his composure just… shattered. Jesus fucking Christ! That shit had me hard as granite and my pulse thundering in my ears like a pre-fight adrenaline spike.
“I think I did okay,” I rasp, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand and swallowing down the taste of him before pushing up to my feet.
Cade stares up at me. His chest rises and falls unevenly. “You think?” he barely manages to choke out.
My grin starts cocky, but doesn’t hold. Not with the way he’s looking at me. I reach for him and slide my palms over his wet shoulders, ignoring the way my own shoulder curses at the movement. I guide him forward until our foreheads touch, my hand settling on the back of his neck.
For a moment, we just stop. Standing there in the steam breathing together.
“I wanted to show you. Fuck, I wanted you to feel it, babe,” I murmur, my voice hoarse. “What you are to me.” My thumb drags along the back of his neck. “And how much I love you.”
I press a slow kiss to his forehead, lingering there for a second longer than usual. “You’ve always been everything to me. Always have and always will be.”
Cade sinks into me. “I love you, too,” he whispers, his eyes wet and I know damn well that it’s not stray droplets from the shower head.
We stand there chest to chest for a while before I break the silence.
“Want to know something?” I ask as my grin creeps back in.
“Sure.” He nods.
“Promise not to laugh?”
“I’ll promise to try,” he chuckles.
I scoff. “Okay, so you know how in those old fighting video games where you’re at the end of the battle and that voice goes ‘FINISH THEM!’?”
He chokes on a sudden, wet laugh.
“You said you wouldn’t laugh,” I snap, even though my lips twitch a little.
“Okay, okay,” he says, holding up a hand and shaking his head. “You’re right, go on.”
I cock a brow, trying to stay serious. “So you know the game, right?”
“Yes, babe. I know the game.”
“Okay, so when you moaned near the end right after I choked on your—”
“Oh my God,” Cade cuts me off, burying his face in his hands and already losing it.
“Stop laughing!”
“Sorry, sorry,” he says, wiping a tear from his eye. “So near the end you… what?”
I lean in. “Near the end that voice in my head went…” I drop my voice an octave just for the hell of it. “FINISH HIM!”
He laughs so hard he folds forward and slams his forehead into mine.
“Ouch! Fuck, Cade!”
“Sorry, babe,” he gasps, clutching my bicep for support as he tries to catch his breath.
He finally stops laughing like a hyena and locks eyes with me. Something inside him softens, for all of two seconds, before his own grin widens again.
“What?” I ask.
“Finish him, Lex?” Cade smiles like the devil as another breathy laugh escapes him.
He doesn’t wait for my comeback. Instead, he slowly trails a single finger down the ridge of my abs, tracing my muscle like he’s marking his damn territory. When he reaches my hips, he bites his lower lip. His hazel eyes burn with a sudden heat that melts me to my core.
And I know damn well, this man holds one of the keys to my fucking soul.
Before I can even draw in a breath, he wraps his hand around my cock. He grips me tight, his palm slick with water and heat, and—holy shit.
“Fuuuuck, Cade,” I moan, my head snapping back as my eyes roll into my skull. The steady stream of the shower hammers against my face, but I barely feel it. I barely feel anything other than his hand stroking my cock. “I didn’t mean for this to be—”
“Shhh,” he hushes, cutting me off.
He lunges forward, crashing his mouth against mine. Our tongues entangle in a messy and desperate battle.
I feel my balls tighten when Cade picks up his pace.
God.
Fucking.
Dammit.
This cannot be happening.
This is embarrassing as hell. I’m a damn fighter.
I’m supposed to have endurance. Supposed to be the one in charge.
But with the endless number of Haley’s cockblocks lately and my raging case of blue balls…
Cade’s hand moving like this with his body pressed against mine has me nearing my limit at lightning speed.
I’m about to blow before we even begin.
I reach down, fingers locking around his wrist like a cuff, and force his momentum to a grinding halt.
“Babe,” I grit. My lungs burn like I’ve just gone ten rounds. I pull his hand away. “Give me…” I clear my throat. “Just give me a second.”
He cocks me a brow. “You okay?”
I manage a shaky nod. “Yeah, it’s just.” I suck in a desperate gulp of air. “I was about to bust a nut before the party even got started. You’re killing me.”
Cade’s head drops to my chest. His shoulders bounce as he laughs uncontrollably. He reaches behind me, his wet skin sliding against mine as he twists the handle. The roar of the water dies instantly. Leaving nothing but the sound of our ragged breaths and the drip-drip-drip on the tile.
“What are you doing?” I breathlessly ask.
“Come on, babe,” he says. His voice vibrating in that low tone I haven’t heard in a long damn time.
He hauls me out of the shower, the cool tile stinging my wet feet like a shock to the system. We don’t even bother with towels. Just walk out dripping and leaving a trail on the hardwood. He marches me toward the bed with an iron-clad grip on my wrist.
Cade hits the mattress, completely gorgeous and utterly wrecked. He pushes himself back on the pillows and reaches out to snag my hand, yanking me down until I’m draped directly on top of him. Lightning flashes through my shoulder as my chest collides with his.
But I ignore the pain.
No fucking way I’m stopping this.
A groan slips free as I start to move. Grinding our rock hard dicks against each other with only a thin, slick layer of water between us.
Cade tilts his head up and kisses me in a deep, messy, soul-searing kiss that sends white-hot sparks behind my eyelids.
He keeps me anchored with his mouth as he reaches down, sliding his hands between our abs and wrapping them around both of our combined cocks.
His warm fingers stroke with agonizingly slow pulls that rub them against each other and make my hips jerk involuntarily.
“Mmmmfuck,” I moan, the sound ripping out of my chest as I bury my face into his shoulder. My fingers dig into the mattress just to keep myself from collapsing on him.
“God, Cade.” I bite his shoulder at the maddening pressure building way too fucking fast in my balls, my abs tightening as his rhythm picks up.
He leans up and grazes his teeth on the shell of my ear. “Finish me, Barinov,” he whispers, his breath hot against my skin.
He takes my hand and sucks two of my fingers into his mouth. Swirling his tongue to soak them until they’re slick and ready.
“Right now, Lex. Finish both of us.”
It’s a dark and jagged command. One that I don’t need to be told twice.
I reach down and spread Cade’s legs, trailing a slippery finger between his balls before circling his rim.
He hisses slightly as I add a finger and begin stretching him, feeling how warm and tight he is for me.
His focus never leaving mine when I add another.
Hazel eyes burning with a desperation that mirrors my own.
“Ready, babe?” I ask, pulling moan after moan from Cade as I pump my fingers in his ass.
“Always,” he whispers, raking his long fingers through my damp hair.
“Good, because if you keep moving like that and I don’t get in there soon, I’m gonna—”
“Go, Lex!” he cuts me off, dick twitching hard against my abs. “I need it.”
“As you wish.” I flash a quick, feral wink as I yank my fingers out. I throw his legs over my shoulders, brace myself, and sink into him in one long, smooth glide.
Cade winces. His body hitches as he adjusts to the size of me. I slow my hips to give him a breather, pulling back a little. But he’s not having it. He reaches out and digs his fingers into my hips, slamming me right back into him.
“No, babe,” he grits, shaking his head. “Don’t slow down. Don’t take it easy,” his eyes widen. “Fuck me, Lex.”
Holy fucking shit. I’m done for.
I snap my hips forward and bury myself inside him. His ass cinches around my cock so tight I nearly see stars.
“God, Cade. It’s been too—”
The sound of my voice is cut off and muffled as Cade tugs me down to crash his mouth against mine.
His legs slip from my shoulders and wrap around my back.
Every jerk of my hips has our bodies rubbing against his rock-hard cock.
The rapid friction causing him to thicken and coat my abs with precum as my rhythm turns primal.
I don’t stop.
I can’t fucking stop. I pound into him, the sound of slick skin slapping together filling the room.
“Babe,” I grunt, the burning pressure coiling low. “I’m gonna—”
“Ohh!” Cade groans, eyes fluttering shut as his head slams back into the pillow. “Me too, babe… God, me too.”
“Glaza na menya, Cade,” I rasp. “Fucking look at me, baby.”
His eyes snap open at the command. A few thrusts later, his back arches off the bed and a rush of warmth coats my stomach.
The feeling of him coming and the way his damn muscles pulse around me in time with his release is the final blow. I fucking lose it. I spill into him with a growl so low, so fucking guttural it doesn’t even sound human.
The world goes quiet, save for our now crashing breaths. I pull out slowly, my muscles turning to lead, and collapse onto his chest. The sticky mess between us fusing our skin together as the high begins to fade.
I bury my face in the crook of his neck, breathing in his cedar and ink scent now mixed with lavender soap and sweat. “I love you, babe.”
He wraps his arms around my back. His touch is light as he runs a finger up and down the length of my spine.
“I love you, too.”
My breath finally calms the fuck down as Cade shoves up from the bed to start getting ready for the game.
“You know,” he says while striding toward the closet. “That game you were talking about is actually called Mortal Kombat. So when you thought that shit in your mind, you were literally thinking about Lain—”
“Baby don’t you dare say Tattooed-Dragon-Dick’s name right now, I swear to fucking God.”
He shrugs. “Just saying.”
