“Fuck,” Hugo gasped as I slid in slowly, not wanting to rush. “You feel fucking amazing.”

“So do you,” I said, leaning down for another kiss as I bottomed out and stilled, allowing both of us to adjust. My breath was coming in pants and my body was shaking.

“I love you.” My words came out choked, and I wasn’t sure why. I felt strangely raw and emotional, but then Hugo looked up at me and everything was perfect.

“I love you too,” Hugo said, his arms wrapping around me, his fingers tangling in my hair as he drew me in for another deep kiss. “Make love to me, Kit.”

What had started so urgently had dissolved into something sweet and slow. I groaned as I began to move, losing myself in the rhythm and the push and pull of our bodies, in the endless, deep kisses and the hushed words of love that we whispered to each other.

The pleasure that had burned through me as lightning softened and swept over me in waves. “I’m so close,” I said.

“Me too,” Hugo said, snaking an arm between our bodies to grasp his cock. “Please, don’t stop. Oh, oh fuck, Kit!”

Hugo’s channel tightened around me as his cum spilled between us, his head thrown back, and my orgasm crashed through me, the most exquisite pleasure I’d ever felt dancing across my skin.

Afterwards we lay curled together, our legs tangled as we exchanged soft, lazy kisses. I knew we should probably get up and shower, and probably eat something as well, but that was for the future. All I wanted to do was cherish this moment and fix it in my memory forever.

I was loved. I was wanted. And everything was perfect.

Chapter Twenty-Six

KitHypothetical question: what make-up is best for covering love bites?

LilyOMG!!! Do you have one? Where is it??

KitUm, not me… I might have been the one who caused them

“Is that a hickey on your neck?” Ellie’s voice was full of amusement as I smacked my hand onto my neck, quickly trying to cover whatever was there. I was going to have words with my boyfriend when I got home.

“Fuck, is it really noticeable?”

“Err, little bit,” she laughed. “Is your girlfriend a vampire?”

“Boyfriend,” I said instinctively, and then flushed, waiting for her reaction.

“Oh, sorry, but still, same question. Is your boyfriend a vampire?”

“No, he’s just…” I trailed off because I honestly wasn’t sure how to finish that sentence.

“Enthusiastic?” Ellie giggled, and I raised an eyebrow at her. “Well, at least we know you’re getting some exercise outside of the gym.”

“Shut up,” I said half-heartedly, attempting to give her a gentle shove but missing as she leant out of the way.

“Be nice. We’ve still got a full hour of stretches to go, and I still haven’t decided if I want to make you do plank variations or not.”

“How is that anything to do with my leg?”

“It’s core strength, which is excellent for you. But first, leg balances.”

I groaned, assuming the necessary position for the balance exercises which I loathed. I’d come to accept over the past few weeks that I was never going to be good at them. I was definitely getting stronger though, and ever since I’d allowed myself to relax a little and set myself a goal of Christmas instead of as soon as possible, it was like a weight had lifted off my shoulders, and everything had become a little easier.

Maybe Lucas had had a point when he’d said I’d stubbornly refused to acknowledge any progress.

The stretching hour actually passed quite quickly, even though I’d been convinced it wouldn’t because I was excited for what came next. I was being allowed to go and join the team for a little bit of their training and a gentle kick about.

“You’re like a little kid,” Ellie laughed as I looked at the clock on the gym wall again. “Come on. Let’s go before you explode.”
