His lips found mine and I responded to him.
He pulled back the sheet and the sight of me naked made his cock as hard as a sledgehammer.
And then he put it to use…

Lying next to Ceara, his revelations spinning in my mind, a question formed that I couldn’t hold back. “Ceara,” I whispered, touching the side of his face, the rough texture now familiar to my fingertips. “If you can see into the future, how did you get caught?”
Ceara let out a long sigh, and the warmth of it brushed against my face, mingling with the scents of our recent meal and the musky odor of the cell.
He turned to face me, his eyes filled with pain. “It’s complicated, Ellie. I’ve always had to be careful, lived most of my life in solitude. In a universe where the smallest glimpse of the future can change the course of events, my ability… it’s coveted.”
I watched him closely, taking in every detail.
The sensation of our closeness felt like a balm to the chaos around us.
I could hear the distant hum of the facility, a constant backdrop to our secluded world.
“I had to be cautious with everything — especially food and drinks. People would do anything to incapacitate a Blinker and use them for their own purposes. So, I trusted very few.”
He paused, swallowing hard, the sound raw in the quiet of the room.
“One day, after a particularly long vision, I was drained. I sought comfort with one of the few friends I thought I could trust. He made me a hot drink, something to soothe my senses. I inspected it closely, as was my habit,” Ceara’s voice grew thick with emotion. “I sniffed the drink, detecting no drugs. It seemed safe.”
I gripped his hand, feeling the roughness of his palm against mine, offering silent support.
“It was scalding,” Ceara continued, “so he added ice cubes to cool it down. I didn’t think twice. It was such a simple, kind gesture.” His eyes welled with tears of anger. “But those cubes, Ellie. They were infused with a powerful sedative. The last thing I remember was the world blurring as the betrayal of a supposed friend came crashing down on me.”
The cool touch of the room’s walls seemed even colder with his revelation.
The sting of betrayal hung heavy between us. I could see the layers of pain and mistrust that had built up over time, understanding now the barriers he had erected around himself.
“Oh, Ceara,” I whispered, feeling his pain acutely, the sensation sharp in my chest.
I reached out, touching his face gently, feeling the wetness of his tears against my skin. “I’m so sorry.”
His eyes met mine, the depths of his pain mirrored in their intensity. “That’s how I ended up here. With the Supervisor.”
The bitterness in his voice was palpable.
We sat in silence, the weight of his past pressing down on us.
Yet, in that shared moment, our bond only deepened.
We both faced betrayals of different kinds, which drew us closer together.
After what felt like hours, Ceara looked at me, a small smile playing on his lips. “You know, Ellie, despite everything, a part of me is grateful for that betrayal. If it hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have met you.”
A smile spread across my face, my heart fluttering at his words. “Funny… how the universe works, isn’t it?”
We leaned into each other, our lips meeting in a soft, lingering kiss.
The sensation of his lips on mine was electrifying, erasing the pains of the past, if only for a moment.
He nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. “With you by my side, Ellie, I believe anything is possible.”
I felt sick to my stomach.
