God! I fuck the man at a pace that’s pushing me toward the edge way too fast. Seeing him above me like this—knees bent, sitting on me, hands clasped behind his head, letting me support him entirely—is too much.

He’s a feast for the eyes. The way he gives himself to me is overwhelming.

I thrust harder and harder and completely lose myself.

Koh lowers one arm and starts stroking himself.

Oh shit…

“Just like that!” he gasps. “Don’t stop!”

Driving us both over the edge, I let myself be swept away by the hot wave, and cum deep inside Koh. He cries out, his cum spurting across my stomach. Breathing heavily, he leans forward, braces himself beside my head, and seeks my lips again.

He tastes so good!

I can’t get enough of him.

Koh sinks down beside me on the bed, breathing hard, and rests his hand on my chest. A silence settles over us that also soothes the loud pounding inside me.

I turn my head and search for his gaze.

Koh smiles at me, his eyes bright, and caresses my neck.

God… How is this supposed to end with us?

Koh

I rub a hand over my face, stunned, and let out a heavy sigh. “What are you doing to me? I don’t even recognize myself anymore.”

Aran lies beside me, head propped on his bicep, tracing my abs with his fingertip. “Same here,” he murmurs, distracted. “You bring out sides of me I never… This isn’t…”

“What?” I ask.

“Who I wanted to be.”

I frown and comb my fingers through his hair.

Since we’ve been lying here, I can’t keep my hands off him. Even after my second orgasm, I still need to touch him—his warm skin, his wild dark hair. My fingers keep drifting over his shoulder, tracing the thick kanji tattooed there like I’m trying to memorize it with touch.

“Who didn’t you want to be?”

“The guy who gets out of prison and throws himself at the first man he sees because he’s that fucking desperate.”

I smirk. “Looks like I was pretty desperate too.”

“I don’t regret it,” Aran says, propping himself up onto one elbow. His expression is thoughtful. “I enjoy every damn breath with you. You somehow calm my nerves even though my heart’s racing the whole time. I don’t know what it is, but… when I’m with you, I can actually breathe.”

My mouth falls open, but no words come out.

How does this man say things like that so casually, like it’s the most obvious thing in the world?

Has he always been like this?

Did I miss it before?
