I held my breath, acclimating to the size and feel of him.
As he pulled out and surged again, I raised my hips. Our bodies rotated together, first gentle, learning and catching each other’s rhythm.
Then, our movements grew frenzied.
Desperate.
I’d never been fucked to the point that I couldn’t form words. With Dez, I turned into a feline, pulling out of his grasp only to cling to him and scrape my fingernails along his back.
I knew he would feel good.
I didn’t expect him to feelthisgood.
“Ah, fuck…” He leaned back, bent my leg, and pushed it toward my chest, driving so deep that I cried out. “Larke, I knew we’d be like this. I fucking knew it.”
Dream Dez called me Larke, but this was real. His declaration was real. We knew now what we meant to each other—almost. I still had to respond, to let him know how I felt and had felt for much longer than these last few moments.
“Dez, I love you too, baby. God, I love you too.”
He grunted.
Hissed.
Moaned so deep, I felt it inmychest.
And that moan sent me over the edge.
“Dez, I think I’m coming. I think I might actually be coming. I usually…don’t come…from dick alo—oh,fuck.”
A rush of ecstasy purer than a cartel’s stash exploded throughout my entire body. He tensed and let out another deep moan as he came inside me, breathing hard with each pulse. We remained locked in place until we were no longer a tangle of convulsing limbs and erratic heartbeats. I didn’t know all what Dr. Lin kept in his stash by way of birth control, but if this was the dick that I was to expect, I was going to needsomething.
Dez, twitching every so often as if hit by a pleasurable aftershock, lowered and brushed his nose along my jaw. Then, I felt him exhale against my neck.
“Tapley, don’t you ever do that shit again, you hear me?Ever.”Quieter, he added, “Don’t leave me here without you, baby. Please…don’t leave me here without you.”
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
DEZ
I could still feel Larke’s skin sliding along my palms, smell her hair, and feel the soft brush of her lips. Yet, today, one thing after another kept me from getting back to her, all of which had culminated in a dead Class One Strategoi.
The victim was found cold and pale early that morning in the Hawthorne building. Because of his rank, an investigation was underway, but Dr. Lin’s preliminary report was that the general had died of “cardiac arrest” due to “acute physical exertion.” Seeing as how the man was found stark naked with his “mistress,” it was easy enough to guess the cause of the acute physical exertion. But I’d caught the look on the young woman’s face when she thought no one was paying attention.
She was glad he was dead.
Pills were also found in the General’s uniform pocket. Dr. Lin informed us that he didn’t stock that specific medication at the infirmary, which meant the pills were likely being smuggled in via our supply runs.
Then, the General who died lived in 720, and I knew Larke had overheard a plot to poison someone in 720—the unit she’d mistakenly believed was mine, which had led her to think she was consuming poison.
For me.
To saveme.
I’d assumed that my feelings for Larke, the emotional and the physical, would remain in separate realms, but they seemed to be working together in a perfect ball of synergy.
Leaving her this morning was nearly impossible.
Throughout the day, I’d had to will my body not to react to thoughts of the echoes of her cries and gasps as she climaxed. I’d had to shove aside memories of how it felt to have her legs wrapped around me, the slash of pain from her nails sinking into my skin, and the way her pussy gripped my dick, until the restraint brought sweat to my brow.
