“Because you might be on the verge of hypothermia and it’s not really my kink?”

“It’s not that bad.” I can’t feel my toes, but I’m sure that’s fine. He’s holding me, his skin is against mine, but he’s nottouchingme. “Rhys,” I whine. “Rub me.”

He chuckles and I can feel it under my cheek.

“Rub you?”

“Yes, rub me.” I drag my lips across his throat and grip his ass to pull him harder against me. “Touch me.”

“My entire body is touching you.”

I growl in frustration. “You know what I mean!”

One hand slides into my hair, making me shudder. “You gave my hairs hard-ons.”

“I…what?”

I lift my arm to show him the hairs standing up. “See?”

“Goosebumps. Those are goosebumps, baby.”

I pull my face away from his neck and look at him to see if he’s fucking with me. “What do gooses have to do with hair boners?”

“Hair boners?”

I lift my arm in front of his face again. “My hair is standing up. They are erect. So they are boners.”

“No one calls them that. Literally no one. Not a single person.”

“I’m not a single person. I’m a taken person. Taken persons say it. Cause I say it.”

Rhys cups my face with a smile tugging on his lips and kisses me. I sigh into it. Needing every part of him connected to me. With feeling and warmth coming back into my fingers and toes, my body is waking up.

Rearranging our legs, I wrap my leg around his hip and roll us so he’s on top of me. Settled between my thighs and our cocks brushing each other.

“Did you want something, Teddy Bear?” Rhys bites my lower lip and grinds against me.

“I need you to own me again.” I cup his ass again and use my legs to push up against him. He groans into our kiss and it’s my turn to smile. “Please.”

“Let me grab condoms.” He starts to pull away, but I tighten around him more.

“You don’t need them.”

Rhys’ eyes snap to mine. “What do you mean?”

I can feel my cheeks heat and now I can’t tell if he’ll be turned on or not. Shit. Was this a good idea?

“Teddy? What do you mean?” He looks down my body as if he read it on my skin or something.

“I—uh—shit.” I cover my face with my arm. Why is this so hard to say out loud? It’s stupid.

Rhys puts his hand on my chest and caresses me softly. “What’s going on, baby?”

With my face hidden in my elbow, I blurt the words out. “I don’t want to use them if that’s okay? If you want to use them that’s okay, we can, I won’t be mad or anything but if you’re okay not using them, I want to try that. We got tes?—”

Rhys’ lips stop my rambling and he pins the arm I was using as a shield to the bed. Fuck that feels good. I gasp when he rolls his hips, and he takes advantage to fuck his tongue into my mouth.

“I would love to fuck you raw. To see my cum leaking out of your hole.” He shudders and it’s my turn to grin at him.
