Thirty-Four
Bobby
I didn’t understand everything that had happened, and I knew Cole had somehow gotten information the rest of us were unaware of. But he was so calm now, and I felt myself pulled to him even more than I had before.
After we cleaned up all the salt and Mum left, the two of us stood in my kitchen with our hands held between us in silence. “It’s going to be okay,” Cole said.
His words soothed me, and I knew on a deeper level than I’d ever felt that every word he said was true, and I could always trust him. I leaned in to kiss him, and the heat between us grew and swirled around us in a building storm of passion and fire. “Stay tonight,” I whispered.
“As if I’d want to be anywhere else,” he said before kissing me again. We stumbled through the house to my bed where we fell onto it while stripping pieces of clothing away. When we were both naked and pressed together, I again had that sense of how right it was with us.
“I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anyone as bad as I want you,” I said. I wasn’t someone who was overly sentimental or felt the need to express every feeling I felt, but that was also different with Cole. I thought I might be falling in love with him, and I struggled to imagine him not being in my life.
“I feel the same way,” he said, and I wasn’t sure if he’d heard my thoughts about my feelings for him, but right then I didn’t care. “I need you.”
He guided me between his legs, and I realized he wanted me to fuck him. I was worried. This single moment meant so much to me, and I wanted to get it right. Opening the drawer to my dresser I took out the lube and condoms and set them on the bed next to him. I sat up and settled my hands on his chest. “Are you sure?”
“Surer than I’ve been about anything in a long time,” he said. I leaned in and kissed him. Our tongues swirled together, and my dick got harder. I reached for him to find him just as hard and swallowed his gasp when I touched him.
After squirting some lube on my hands, I pumped him firm and slow with one hand while fingering him with the other. When I knew he was so on the edge that he’d be done in one more stroke, I stopped and tried to open the condom. The package slipped and slid in my fingers as I struggled to rip it open. Finally, he lay his hand over mine.
“Let me help.” He smiled up at me, but the fire in his eyes had not dimmed and his dick was still just as hard. Our breaths were loud in the quiet room as he opened the packet and slid the condom on me with a stroke. He then guided me to his hole while I slowly pressed into him. He grunted when I was all the way in and squirmed around to adjust.
“Oh my god,” I breathed out. He was beautiful and everything I never knew I needed. And it felt like we’d known each other far longer than the few weeks we had. I slowly started to move and slung his leg over my shoulder. We kissed and I would have sworn we were connected on a spiritual level. The press of his lips against mine, his tongue searching for mine as we kissed like our lives depended on it. I wasn’t sure how I’d ever survive without him being right beside me.
I pulled him up on top of me as I leaned back and let him take control. He rode me with zero hesitation and didn’t slow down one bit. Our kisses got sloppier and sloppier as both of us chased an end that neither of us were going to give up easily. I lifted his hips just enough to pound into him, and he threw his head back. He looked like a god, his abs flexing as he held himself above me and his hands clenched on my legs as he let me give him every bit of his pleasure. His head was thrown back while his mouth opened to gasps of pleasure.
Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and reached for him. After two pumps he came and when his ass clenched my dick, I followed. One of his hands rested on my chest as we fought to slow down our breathing. I slipped out of him and after tying the condom and tossing it in the trash, I wet a washcloth with warm water in the bathroom and walked back over to where he still hadn’t moved.
“That was amazing,” I said as I kissed both of his closed eyes, making him smile. After cleaning up I wrapped him in my arms, and this time it was me keeping him safe just like I hoped I always did.
“You’re amazing,” he mumbled and scooted back closer to me. “Thank you for tonight.”
“What do you mean?”
“This morning, I was confused and terrified of what could happen to me. But now I know exactly what’s coming and we’ll be ready. They won’t be able to beat the two of us.”
Once again, I wasn’t sure exactly what he was talking about, but his voice held so much conviction and confidence I found I wanted to believe every word he said. “I’ll do anything I need to. Just tell me whatever you need.”
“When the time comes, you’ll know what to do,” he said just before he drifted off to sleep.
“I hope you’re right.” After that I fell asleep and slept better than I had in months. It was as though all the worry and dread were lifted, and nothing was left but warmth and happiness.
