“Just an offer.”
I’m half tempted to ask him to start fucking me again, just so I can feel his cum when it dribbles out of my hole, but he’s pulling out before I can fully decide and moves us to sit on the clean side of the couch. He doesn’t let me sit on his lap—probably because his dick isn’t getting the memo that sexy time is over—but he does twine our fingers together and press his thigh to mine.
“Spencer sure had some pretty interesting things to say.”
Oh, right.I completely forgot he was talking to my freakingtravel agent.
“Hmm, isn’t it unethical for him to talk to you about that?”
Valen fights to hold back a smile, taking my chin between his thumb and forefinger and giving me an intent look. “Somehow, I think you gave him the impression that we’re something... more than casual hookups.”
I might have given him the impression that Valen is mine. I may have told him that he might be losing his delivery person if all things go my way. I’m not sorry about it.
“You’re moving out of your studio.”
“I’ve been there for two years. Time to find something new.”
“You rearranged your entire travel schedule. And booked two tickets each instead of one.”
Hm, yeah, okay. I can’t really talk my way around that one.
“Dex.” Valen holds my gaze, lips twitching up. “What have you done?”
Oh, fuck it. I’m still loosey goosey from the orgasm, and the cat is pretty much out of the bag now, right?
“I may have delayed the rest of my trips a smidge so I could stay and help you through this, and I may have figured you could use a breather and might like seeing some places with me. Maybe let me get some more naughty photos of you because—honestly, you’re right. Recording myself is fun and it’s freeing, but there’s nothing like capturing someone else’s beauty and sexiness, and god do I wanna do dirty things to you that are wholly inappropriate under—“
Valen silences the absolute word vomit that comes out of my mouth with his lips. They’re stretched wide in a smile, and the kiss is nothing deep. It’s just lips on lips and little pecks that have us both breathlessly laughing when he pulls away.
“I don’t understand,” I say, quietly hoping that the answer might be more kissing. I’m a little addicted to it.
“I think you missed a few steps in your plans, SpecDex.”
“Nah, I think I was pretty thorough. I don’t want to go back to my apartment alone, one I only really used for occasional sleeping and hookups. I want you. I want to drag you all over the world and make you do dirty, dirty things to me on camera, because everyone who watches should know that I’m all fucking yours.”
His jaw drops as he gapes at me, but still there’s incredulous laughter. “Still missing steps!”
When I cross my arms and throw myself back on the couch, a little ways away because I have no earthly idea what he’s talking about, Valen props his chin on his fist and leans his elbow on his knee.
“My love. My wonderful, handsome, space case of a love. Since when have you been mine?”
I don’t have to think hard about it, because it’s a truth engrained deep in my bones that I’ve ignored for too long.
“Since the night at the bridge. The day I decided I’d never let you in, that’s the day you’d already claimed your space. But at the hospital, seeing you need me, lean on me, but still protect me so fiercely even when you’re in pain? K-O. Game over. I don’t want to go back to a life without you in it.”
This time when he kisses me, Valen does drag me into his lap. And it’s goddamn glorious, because I love seeing those hidden muscles work. I’m a bigger man, both in the muscle and meat departments, so any time he manhandles me I get a bit of a chub. I can’t help it.
There’s something so sexy about the way he guides my body like it’s an extension of his own.
“Were you planning on telling me?” he asks between long strokes of his tongue in my mouth.
“Eventually,” I breathe more than speak.
As a smile threatens to split his face, Valen breaks from the kiss and leaves me gasping, his hot tongue working long, slow strokes along my neck. Oh, how that would feel on my cock right now.
“You want me to go with you?”
“How else are you supposed to drive me insane?” I tip my head back and press my body impossibly closer to his.
