“I promise this is the last time I’m going to ask this, but you and Eden never…”

“No,” he says softly. “I love her, and she’s amazing, but we’d never work as anything other than friends. I’m not exactly into soft and submissive, and neither is she.” He snickers. “The only way it could work between us is if we brought in a toppy third, and I don’t share, so that makes it easy to just be friends.”

“And it’s not like the ice princess would be into that either,” I add.

“You’d be surprised. Remember how you said it’s always the quiet ones who are the most fun? She’s about as quiet as you can get…” He lets that hang in the air.

“Really?” I blink up at the ceiling. “What’s she into?”

“Lots of stuff that’s none of your business if you don’t want me to get stabby,” he huffs out.

I don’t hate the warmth that spreads through my chest at his jealousy.

“Noted.” I kiss his hair.

Now that I can touch and kiss him whenever I want, it’s like I can’t stop. And he doesn’t seem to want me to.

“Do I need to worry?” he asks softly.

“About what?”

“We haven’t used condoms.”

“No. I never went bare with her,” I tell him. “And I went to the school doc to get tested after I found out she was cheating. I never would have gone without if I wasn’t sure you’d be safe.”

“You never did that with her?”

“Nope. Not with anyone. Just you.”

“Oh.” He rubs his cheek against my chest. “You’re the only one ever I’ve done that with too.”

I kiss his hair. It shouldn’t matter, but the possessive bastard in me loves hearing that I’m the only one he’ll ever share that with.

“You realize I’ll kill anyone you touch, or anyone who touches you, right?” I tell him.

He lets out a soft laugh. “Is that your way of saying we’re exclusive?”

“Obviously.”

He laughs again. “Noted. As long as you realize the same goes for you. I will end anyone who touches you, and I’ll kill you if you ever touch anyone else.”

“Never,” I promise.

He drops a kiss against my chest and snuggles closer.

“How about we rest for a bit, then we’ll get your hand taken care of?”

“Yeah, sounds good.”

I feel him relax against me, and I stare up at the ceiling, my head spinning as the events of the day come rushing back to me.

But above everything else is the knowledge that Felix loves me, and he knows I love him.

We’ll figure the rest out later. Right now the only thing that matters is that he’s safe, and he’s mine.
