I stepped back between his knees. Holding his gaze, I knotted the hem of his T-shirt to keep it out of the way, then, with as much swagger as I could muster, I shimmied out of my underwear.

This was it: the claiming I’d wanted. Whatever I’d said about not needing it, the caveman part of my brain insisted we did. A few drops of precum beaded at the tip of my cock.

“Ben, stop thinking and fuck me. I need you.” Cooper set his hands behind his knees and lifted his legs, opening himself to me.

I ripped open the condom package and rolled on the latex. “You’re sure.”

“Dammit, Ben, don’t fucking tease me.”

I smiled. There he was. He might be bottoming for me physically, but he was still in charge.

I poured the lube into my hand and let it warm up for a few seconds. Then I slathered it over his dick, stroking it until he sighed and relaxed his tense muscles. At last, I smeared it across his hole, circling it with a slick finger. “Okay?”

“Mmm. Yes.”

I worked a finger inside, then two, as I continued jacking him languidly with my other hand. “You want to come first? It might relax you.”

“No, I want to come while you’re inside me if I can.”

“Such a romantic.” I clucked my tongue. But that was what my romantic heart wanted, too. I squeezed a third finger inside him and found his prostate. Gently, I rubbed it, and he started to squirm. I stopped moving my fingers. “Feel okay?”

“Y-yeah. Don’t stop.”

“No, love.” I worked my fingers inside him, watching his face. His lips parted, and his eyes closed. When I sped up my movement, his legs shook. That was my signal.

I removed my fingers, lubed myself up, and lined up at his entrance. “Look at me, love.”

When he opened his eyes, I pushed in. He didn’t clench, so I kept going until I was fully seated, the tight squeeze sending sparks straight to my spine. I paused. “Okay?”

He nodded, not breaking his stare. As I backed out and thrust in again, I drowned in the frost-blue pools of his eyes. I was so gone for this man. How could he think to go back to California without me? I wasn’t sure I could even let him go to the office alone. I never wanted to break this connection, the electricity that coursed through me every time I touched him.

Heat sparked along my spine, urging me to go faster, but I kept a measured pace. My heart jackhammered in my chest as I watched him, his jaw slack and his eyes unfocused. Skin slapped against skin. A few drops of precum dripped onto his belly, and I dipped a finger into it and smeared the liquid over the head of his dick. “Is this okay?”

“God, yes, I’m—” He snapped his eyes shut as he full-body shuddered and come jetted across my hand and onto his abs.

I sped up my thrusts as I watched his dick jerk against his abdomen. My own orgasm rocketed toward me. I pulled out, ripped off the condom, and a couple of strokes later, my come splashed next to his on his chest.

I braced a hand on his knee, spots dancing in front of my eyes and my chest heaving.

When my vision cleared, I gazed down at Cooper. His eyes were open again, soft and hazy. He ran a finger across his sticky chest. “That was…incredible.”

My chest expanded. The caveman inside me danced at seeing my lover coated in our pleasure. The softer, modern man was ready for a cuddle.

“I’ll be right back.” I nabbed a towel from the bathroom, cleaned us up, and tossed the towel in the hamper. Then Cooper and I nestled back into the bed and pulled up the covers. “Still good?” I murmured into his chest.

“So good.” He kissed the top of my head and lay his heavy arm over my side. “You?”

I nudged my foot between his legs and hooked him closer. “Perfect.”

And for that glorious hour, it was just the two of us in the bedroom. No Synergy, no Jackson Jones. Just me and my boyfriend.

BEN

Cooper stared at the dog sitting between us in the back seat of the SUV. “I think he’d be happier staying on the island.”

He thought I’d be happier staying behind, too. Not without him. And I knew Coco felt the same. I scooped Coco against my chest and held him tight. He licked my earlobe. “He goes where I go.” And I go where you go.
