Right then, he was mine.

There was no question.

Was this all I had wanted, for so long?

“You…” Ori said, not completing his sentence as he broke off into heavy breaths.

I couldn’t form very many words right now, either. I slowly pulled off his cock, swallowing everything.

“You’re mine,” I said, my voice low.

“Ego,” he whispered, but one corner of his mouth was quirked into a grin.

“Mine,” I repeated, dragging one hand down his naked thigh.

I was pretty sure he’d just changed my entire fucking world, but I was too hazy right now to form those words.

“You’re the one who just came only from suckingmycock,” he murmured, his eyes still half-lidded, his pupils wide.

“You’re the one with the ego. And you came because I covered you inmycum,” I pointed out.

He groaned, arching his head backward. “Can’t stand you.”

I hummed. “Pretty sure you can.”

I bit down on my lower lip, watching him for a moment. I got off my knees, leaning over him, and gently kissed him.

“Not bad for a straight guy,” Ori said under his breath, and I puffed out a laugh.

“Even if I’ve been straight my whole life, I’m starting to think that doesn’t apply to you,” I said.

Ori looked dubious, and I couldn’t blame him. “And what does that mean, exactly?”

“I don’t know. I think it means I’ll suck you off any time you want.”

“Wow.”

I held up my hands, standing up straight again. “I know the deal,” I said. “You don’t want anything serious, and that’s fine. I just want to have fun. God, I missed having funwith you, Ori.”

His gaze was gentle as he looked at me, still melting into the bay window alcove. The words hung in the air for a while, andit felt like the most vulnerable moment of the night, which was saying quite a lot.

It was so hard to tell him how much I missed him.

The night outside the bar had been a fleeting moment of honesty, but right now I was calm. I didn’t feel out of control of my emotions.

IknewI was being vulnerable, and I wasn’t stopping myself.

Nothing felt more precarious than that.

“Well, there’s nothing wrong with having a little fun,” he finally said. “You want me to return the favor at some point?”

I held up my hands. “I know you. I know you start to dislike anything the moment you feel you need to go tit-for-tat. So this isn’t that. I’m satisfied. So I’m going to go to sleep now, and I’ll let you do the same.”

Ori gave me a little smile. “So if I come into your bedroom and find you jerking off again in a few hours, you won’t even want me to hop in and help suck you off?”

“You wouldn’t,” I said. “You’ll be sleeping like a baby anyway.”

“Fine. I won’t come in,” he said, brushing his hair back with his fingers.
