“Don’t stop. Don’t ever stop.”

His answering growl in my ear is enough to send me over the edge, my moans muffled into his neck.

“Goddamn, baby, you’re so fucking good,” he manages to groan as he stills, almost collapsing on top of me as he comes. I love how he fills me. How his twitching cock, buried deep, paints my insides. Claiming me as his.

I’ve never been everything to someone. I’ve barely been a thought in their mind. Everyone leaves, especially the people who were supposed to love me most. I’ve spent my whole life learning to be okay with that, but maybe with him, I don’t have to be.

We hold each other until our breathing syncs. As I drift off, images of what we could be play through my mind like a movie and for the first time, it doesn’t scare me.

For the first time, I’m not alone.

“I think we all deserve a break,”I say as the five of us sit around the living area in pajamas, drinking coffee. “We’re in New York City for fuck’s sake, and we haven’t left the house in days.”

Leon barely looks up from his laptop as he mutters, “What do you have in mind?”

“I thought the whole point was laying low?” Damon adds. “You and Blake were all over the news, all over socials. We fucked over Fairfax, we burned Orlov’s place to the ground. Don’t you think going out for brunch and a movie is a little too risky?”

Blake snuggles against him, her wide eyes meeting mine. “He’s probably right.” She groans. “As much as it kills me to admit that.”

“Hey,” Damon says, tilting her face so she’s looking up at him. “Don’t make me fuck that smart mouth.”

“Umm, excuse me! Best friend sitting right here. Not that I don’t love a good mouth fucking,” Jasper chokes on a sip of coffee, “but I don’t need that visual at 10 AM.”

“Holy fuck, I was not expecting that,” Jasper manages as he wipes drips of coffee from his mouth.

“So… I’ve noticed the two of you have been practically inseparable lately,” Blake says with a knowing smirk. “Are you guys finally going to admit you’re together?”

All eyes drift in my direction and I feel my face flush. Jasper brings his palm to my thigh, squeezing with gentle possessiveness. I can’t hide my grin. “You could say that.”

“I fucking knew it,” Damon says. “Pay up, Lee.”

“Bloody hell, not another couple,” he grumbles, but there’s no hiding the smile that tugs at his lips. “At least now you can move your junk into Falin’s room and I can finally get that king bed.”

“I’m happy for you.” Blake grins, warming my chest from the inside. “And I knew I heard something the other night.”

“What can I say?” Jasper waggles his brows. “Some of us are just naturally gifted in the penis department. Can’t help but keep her up all night… and all morning… and afternoon.”

“You’re insufferable,” I say, shaking my head.

“I second that,” Leon says.

“Third,” Damon says, laughing under his breath.

“You know what I’m packing,” Jasper boasts. “I’m allowed to be insufferable.”

“For fuck’s sake,” I groan, dropping my head into my hands.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart,” Jasper says with a smirk, “They’re just jealous they don’t get to experience my magnificence. That ship has sailed.”

“And on that note,” Leon stands, “I’m going to go bleach my brain.”

“If we can’t do brunch,” I say. “Can we at least have some fun today? It’ll be good for us to take a break.”

Me most of all. Between searching for Bailey during the day, and my parents at night, among other… activities, I’m drained, mentally and physically.

“You’re right,” Blake says. “A break is much-needed. We’re all exhausted.”
