He braced himself on the wall above her with two hands.
The water hit his back, shielding her from the spray.
It was pleasure. It was pain. It was…everything.The tightness of her mouth. The flick of her tongue.
It was a gift.
Konstantinos watched her caress him. She braced herself on his thighs. He planted his feet as her head bobbed, and he prayed his knees wouldn’t buckle as her caress deepened. So deep did it become, it had no end.
He closed his eyes. So intense was it, the sensation building inside him. He had no choice but to try and control it. But he couldn’t.

Until it was time to say goodbye.
Forever.
