Page 47 of Faking Ever After

And when I felt him slide deeper into me, the air left my lungs in a long, trembling sigh. Slapping both hands against his defined chest, I worked my hips back and forth, impaling myself onto his length.

We merged in an ecstasy of longing and pleasure. I sat on him, dragging myself at a tormentingly slow pace back and forth, my torso leaning a little forward, my balls pressing hard against his abdomen, and my cock throbbing as I rode him. Precum slicked the tip of my cock, and a wildfire of desire burned in me when I saw Percy thumb my cock and lick the precum clean. Gaining more control over me, Percy took my hips and moved my body in the precise motions that provoked worn moans out of my chest, sliding into me with increasing force.

He flipped us around in a breathtaking display of strength, never once breaking contact between our bodies and landing me on my back, my legs wrapping around his waist. He had his way with me, and I let him. I loved every instant of it. I loved theswitch in power and I loved the feeling of losing control. I loved the freedom of being his to play with.

And when the days of impatient wanting culminated in a sweat-inducing, mind-bending climax that had my toes curling and my voice cracking and strangling, I held onto Percy for dear life. My arms wrapped around his upper torso, legs around his waist, and I pulled him in as my entire body pulsed, muscles knotting and relaxing, hole clenching around his cock, and my body filling with his cum as he shuddered and slammed his lips against mine.

We sprawled on the bed for an endless while, barely able to catch our breaths. He held me like I was the most precious thing in the world and kissed me like the dearest. And when we got out of bed, he stopped me once I put my briefs on, shared a naughty smile, and led me to the deck. After a few minutes, the yacht came to a halt, and Percy led the way to the back. Around us, the open sea shifted in all directions, merging with the sky on the distant horizon, and a few islands were scattered so far out that they were only shades of blue.

Kissing me one more time, Percy held me and tipped us over the edge of the yacht, sending us into the cool, open sea. I yelped against his mouth in shock as we plunged, separating from one another for long enough to emerge on the surface of the sea.

As soon as we emerged, I splashed him mercilessly, but he only laughed and swam toward me. Sea drops landing on his face didn’t slow him down as he gained space, and when he reached me, our bodies collided again, swirling weightlessly as our limbs tangled around one another.

I think I’m falling in love with you, I thought. Then I amended it.I’m definitely falling in love with you.

We kissed despite the waves splashing our heads and swam in total silence with nobody alive for miles around us.

“If only all the days could be like this,” he said, floating on his back.

“Yours could be,” I said, my hand searching for his on the surface. When I found it, I took it.

Percy chuckled. “The feeling would get old after a while.”

I thought about it. Searching for something to compare it to in my life, I found that I agreed with him. “The sweetest things are only sweet as long as they must end.”

“That’s…exactly right,” Percy said. “Six years at CalTech never put it that way.” We were quiet for a little while, enjoying the rays of sunshine kissing our faces. Percy never drifted far from me. “When we return to New York,” he said slowly, making my heart skip a beat. There was an end to this whirlwind. He continued, “I’ll take you to so many places I love.”

I hadn’t thought about the things that would come after. Sudden fear filled me to bursting, and I nearly sank, lifting myself to a vertical position to look at Percy. “Will you still want me when we go back to the real world?” I asked before I could stop myself.

Percy straightened a moment later and looked into my eyes with the intensity of someone who was about to swear an oath. “Of course, Finn. Always.”

I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. Always? I believed him, but that wasn’t what worried me the most. “I don’t belong in that world.”

Percy understood the exact nature of my fears, and he swam toward me, hugging me for a little while before our combined weights and restricted movements began to pull us down. “Finn, there’s no world there to enter. We make it ourselves. However we want.”

But I had a job to finish. I had a memory drive that needed expert knowledge that would open it and I had a scheming motherfucker to get back at. Still, I had Percy to call mine andthat made me feel like there was something more in me than this pitiful need for revenge. I was capable of trusting a person after all. I was capable of falling in love.

“And we will make it, Finn,” Percy said quietly. “We’ll make it however you want it.”

I closed my eyes and kissed him again. It sounded like a lovely dream and I wanted it more than I wanted to mess with someone who was powerful enough to obliterate me off the face of the Earth.

Maybe, just maybe, I could move on without pursuing this hateful crusade.

Some small and growing part of me considered returning to the house and handing the drive over to Percy to do with it whatever he thought was best. I could tell him tonight that I had stolen the proof that a billionaire investor was stealing people’s money through grand promises while fully aware that he had no mechanisms to fulfill any of them. Because he had been aware of it all along.

Tonight.

I decided I would do it tonight.

If there would be any justice for that asshole, it wouldn’t be driven by pure need to see him burn.

I wanted to be free of it and free to love Percy as honestly as I could. I wanted to adore him without the shadows of secrets falling over us. I wanted to share this burden and make it less bitter and hateful.

“Finn?” Percy whispered.

I opened my eyes. The sea had made them blurry and irritated.

“Why are you crying?” he whispered, his eyebrows contorting in an expression of pain he shared and he didn’t even know why.
