By the time they tumbled onto the bed, Cyril was laughing breathlessly, his worries apparently forgotten as Vale pinned him under him.Even if it didn’t last, at least Cyril was happy now.
“I love you,” Vale repeated because Cyril deserved to hear it again and again.He leaned down to trail a line of kisses down Cyril’s neck.
“I love you,” Cyril breathed out as he arched into Vale’s touch.
His hands roamed over Vale’s body, exploring him with a reverence that left Vale breathless.Sex had never been like this for him.It was usually hurried and perfunctory, but not with Cyril.Cyril turned sex into love.
Their bodies pressed against each other, finally naked.Vale wanted Cyril to forget about everything outside the bedroom, and he knew how to do that.
He rolled Cyril to his front and pinned him on the mattress, trapping him with his legs and arms while holding him down by the shoulders.Cyril gasped when Vale pressed his hard cock against his ass crack and pushed back, telling Vale what he wanted.
“You’re insatiable,” Vale teased, trailing a line of kisses down Cyril’s neck.It sent shivers down Cyril’s spine.His reaction made Vale grin.He had Cyril right where he wanted him.
“Only for you.”Cyril’s voice was muffled by his pillow.
He arched his back in invitation as he turned his head to the side, and their lips met hungrily.He moaned when Vale grazed his teeth along his earlobe, sucking on it lightly before moving lower toward his throat and nipping him there.
Vale chuckled as he nibbled on Cyril’s skin.He trailed his hands over every inch of Cyril’s skin he could reach, eager for more as he flipped him to his back.He kissed a trail down Cyril’s chest and across his stomach before descending further still, moving around his belly button after kissing a freckle just above it.The way Cyril reacted to Vale’s touch was intoxicating.
Vale paused between Cyril’s legs, taking in the sight of his lover’s cock standing hard and leaking.It was beautiful, just like the rest of Cyril.
Without warning, Vale leaned forward and engulfed the head of Cyril’s dick in his mouth, causing Cyril to squeak.He danced his tongue around the tip while reaching down to stroke Cyril’s balls.His taste on Vale’s tongue sent shivers down Vale’s spine, and he moaned around Cyril’s cock before starting to suckle.Pumping his mouth in time with his hand, Vale took more of Cyril in as his boyfriend wriggled beneath him.
Cyril’s whimpers echoed through the room.His fingers tangled in Vale’s hair and pulled, causing a pleasant sting Vale enjoyed, leaving him aching for more.Cyril bucked up into Vale’s mouth with each suction until Vale was done teasing him.He needed more.They both did.
Vale pushed his fingers into his mouth alongside Cyril’s cock and sucked hard.Cyril moaned and slapped a hand toward the nightstand, but Vale didn’t wait for him to find the lube.He slid his dripping fingers lower as he kept his mouth on Cyril’s cock, gently prodding at Cyril’s hole.Cyril was tight, but his body welcomed Vale in when Vale pushed a finger inside of him.
Something landed on the mattress next to Vale’s shoulder.He arched a brow at Cyril—who didn’t look one bit sorry—and reached for the lube.He struggled a bit to open it one-handed, but he didn’t want to stop fucking Cyril with his finger until he absolutely had to.
He eventually managed and quickly squirted lube on his fingers before pushing two of them inside of Cyril.Cyril’s thighs tightened around Vale’s body as he arched his back.Vale was a patient man, but even he wouldn’t be able to resist this much longer.
As soon as Cyril was ready, Vale kneeled up and positioned himself between his legs.He pushed slowly, teasingly, rubbing circles around Cyril’s entrance until Cyril was pushing back against him.When he finally slid in, he leaned forward to allow Cyril to wrap himself around him.Cyril did so instantly, hugging Vale close and kissing him sloppily.
It was unhurried but intense.Every touch and caress from Vale was meant to reassure and comfort Cyril—and to make him feel cherished.Vale took his time, mapping what he could reach of Cyril’s body with his lips and tongue, drawing gasps and moans from him.Cyril clung to Vale and dug his nails into his back as if he never wanted to let go.
Nothing existed beyond this bedroom, or at least, that was what Vale wanted Cyril to feel like for a little while.
It didn’t last nearly long enough.
Cyril came first, whimpering through his pleasure as Vale continued fucking him.Vale waited until he felt Cyril’s body relax before allowing himself to follow.Cyril held him through it just like Vale had done for him, and Vale turned his head to the side to capture his lips again.
They lay tangled together, their breathing slowly returning to normal.Cyril rested his head on Vale’s chest, and Vale knew he was listening to the beat of his heart.For the first time in days, Cyril wasn’t tense.Vale hoped that he felt safe and like everything would be all right eventually.He wasn’t sure how he’d make it happen, but he’d find a way.
He ran his fingers through Cyril’s hair, hoping his touch would help soothe Cyril.“Feeling better?”he asked.His voice was a little rough.
Cyril hummed and nuzzled closer.“Yeah.Thank you.I’m still worried, but this helped.I love you.”
“I love you, too,” Vale replied.He tightened his hold on Cyril, vowing silently to protect him from whatever lay ahead—including Cyril himself.
Chapter Ten
––––––––
SINCE CYRIL COULDN’Tuse his ability to talk to Sam, he and Vale had decided to do the next best thing.They were digging into Sam’s social media accounts, sometimes with Rachel’s help, sometimes on their own.Cyril wasn’t planning on disturbing Katie again until they had something to tell her, but so far, he could only see what Rachel had pointed out.
Yes, these people were a little strange.Sam had been a part of a few groups where people talked about summoning demons and what was supposed to happen when they did, but Cyril was pretty sure those people were harmless.They wanted their lives to change, and it was easier to think they could do so by summoning demons than accepting that they would never become billionaires.It was a lot of talking and nothing much happening, anyway.
“Sam was talking a lot to this guy,” Vale said.“He’s creepy.”
