Page 49 of His Surrender
“You know… you’re actuallyreallygood at this.” Remi disappeared from the camera’s view for a few moments before returning and sitting on the bed. He’d cleaned himself off. His cock hung soft between his legs.
“Good at what?”
“This.” He motioned from me back to him. “This thing between us, whatever it is.”
“I don’t even know what to call this.”
“Neither do I.”
What I didn’t say? That even though I didn’t know what to call us, I didn’t want it to end. Not yet.
Maybe not ever.
“Be right back.” I went into the connecting bathroom to wash my hand and run a wet cloth over the mess on my lower stomach. I tried to steady my nerves. Remi had gotten much closer than I’d thought. When I returned to the bed and faced the phone propped up on a pillow beside me, Remi had both hands linked behind his head as he slumped forward a bit. “You okay?”
He looked back up and lowered his arms. “Yeah. Just… I don’t know.”
“Bullshit. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong,” he said as his pretty blue eyes focused on me. “Far from it actually.”
“Then what is it?”
“I think I’m happy.” He put a hand on his chest—whether intentionally or subconsciously.
My heart beat heavily. I wondered if his did too.
Me too, I wanted to say.
But I couldn’t.
“I should get to bed,” I said, as a sudden bout of exhaustion hit. The long days were catching up to me, and the two orgasms hadn’t helped with that.
“How do you say goodbye in Russian again?” Remi asked. “The one that means’til we meet again?”
“Do svidaniya,” I answered, lying down and pulling the blanket over me. But I held my phone closer, staring at him as long as I could. He looked too adorable when he was sleepy. It made his bedroom eyes even more endearing.
“Do svidaniya,” he repeated with a smile. “I’ll text you in the morning.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.” He laid his head on his pillow, his eyes not leaving my face.
Neither of us moved to disconnect the video.
“You have to hit End,” I said.
“Nope.” He shook his head. “You have to.”
“Fine.” I grabbed my phone and my thumb hovered over the End button on the screen. Why was it so hard?
Remi smiled and nuzzled his pillow, his sleepy eyes appearing even more tired. What I wouldn’t give to be beside him right then.
“Good night,” I said.
“Night.”
I ended the video.
