“Good. You make me feel like anything is possible. And I promise, I will always do my best to make you feel that way, too. Because if we’re together, then it’s the truth.”
I bend down, and starting at his forehead, I begin to pepper kisses over his face, erasing his tears with my love. And I don’t stop there. I kiss my way down his body until I reach his cock. I grasp it in my hand and look up at his chocolate eyes. That uncertainty from before is gone and pure lust — and love — is there instead.
Mission accomplished.
“I love you, Hunter Callaghan.”
I wrap my lips around the tip of his cock, and slowly, I begin to move my head, up and down, swirling my tongue over the tip before starting again. Over and over, until his hands are gripping my hair tightly and his body is taut with tension underneath me.
“Baby. I need to come,” he growls, lifting me off his cock and yanking me up the length of his body.
I lift a finger up to wipe my mouth, keeping my eyes glued to his face. Fire burns in his eyes and it’s all for me. I lean over, letting my breasts graze his chest as I reach for the unopened box of condoms Lily left as a parting gift the night of the gala. Taking one out, I open it and roll it down his rigid length. Then finally, I lift my hips, grasp him in my hands again, and line his cock up with my entrance.
With his hands on my hips, guiding me, I rock up and down, taking more of him in each time until finally I’m full of him. I lower my head and kiss him, and the second our lips meet, he takes over. His grip on me tightens and his hips begin to thrust up, pushing us impossibly closer.
“God, yes,” I moan, my hands grasping the pillow on either side of his head.
“Wrong name,” Hunter grunts, wrapping my hair around one hand as he levers us both up into a sitting position. The new angle drives him in even deeper and I cry out as my orgasm hits me like a lightning bolt.
“Fuck, Kat. Baby. You’re everything. You’re fucking everything.” Hunter roars out my name as his own release takes over and he pistons up into me over and over again.
My arms are wrapped tightly around him, and his are around me, and we sit there, entwined in each other for several minutes as our heartbeats return to normal.
Eventually, he slowly shifts me to the side, his cock slipping out of me. He kisses my forehead, then climbs out of bed and heads to the bathroom, returning shortly after and crawling into my bed. I settle back into his arms and he pulls the blanket up from the bottom of the bed to cover us.
I’ve never felt as safe, and loved, and cherished as I do right now in Hunter’s arms. I come from an affectionate family and there was no shortage of hugs growing up. But this right here, the intimacy of our naked bodies tangled up in each other, sticky with sweat and passion, this is the deepest connection I’ve ever felt with another person in my entire life.
I know Hunter and I have work to do to make sure this connection stays strong. But I also know we can do it — together. Which means, as his partner, I’m hoping he’ll let me in just a little bit more. I lift up onto my elbow and look down at his handsome face.
“Would it be okay for me to join one of your therapy sessions some day? I’d really like to talk to Audrey and make sure I know the very best way to support you.”
Hunter’s brows raise in surprise as he lifts up onto his elbow as well, his hand finding mine in between our bodies. “You’d do that? Really?”
“Of course, I would. I mean, I know you can also tell me what I can do, but I just thought maybe it would be easier for you if she told me. But only whatever you’re comfortable with.”
He pulls me so I’m spread out on top of him, happiness seeping out of him. “Babe, I’m an open book for you. No more secrets. You can know anything. But yeah —” a shy smile crosses his face “— I’d really like it if you met with me and Audrey. Because I want this to work between us. And that means I’m gonna need her help to keep my anxiety under control. So I can be strong for you.”
I stroke back the piece of hair I’ve longingly wanted to touch for years. “Hunter, youarestrong. So strong. No matter what, don’t doubt that. But we can be stronger, together.”
Chapter 14
Hunter
Christmas Eve has always been my favourite day of the year. As a kid, it was for obvious reasons. The anticipation for Christmas morning was the best part. But as an adult, my reason for loving December twenty-fourth has changed.
With my family doing all their celebrating on the twenty-fifth, the day before became the day I shut myself off from the world. Totally disconnected — no phone, no internet, nothing. I would give myself twenty-four hours to let go of any stress or worry and be completely selfish. I’d sit around in my underwear, pig out on my favourite food, and play video games or watch TV. I wouldn’t think about my job, my family, or anything.
This year, I’m loving Christmas Eve for a totally different reason, and she’s lying in bed next to me, her hair tickling my chest. It’s been three days since I went to Kat’s house to ask for her forgiveness. Three days since I bared my soul to her, showed her every insecurity, every fear, every weakness. And it’s been three days since she looked me in the eyes and told me she loved me, no matter what.
“Mmm.” Her arms tighten around me as Kat nuzzles her face into my pec. “Why are you awake so early?” she mumbles.
“Because it’s the best day of the year, Kitty Kat,” I whisper, my lips pressed against the top of her head. “And this year is the best year ever, so it’s extra best.”
She lifts her head and squints at me. “Extra best?”
I nod solemnly, fighting back my grin. “Yup. Extra best. Because this year, you get to experience the wonder of Christmas Eve, Hunter style.” Although, I did break with tradition in one small way, and we will be having a quick visit from someone later this morning. Kat doesn’t know about that, though.
She rolls away from my body and stretches, her back arching off the bed, pushing her perfect tits up in the air. Being the red-blooded male I am, and being obsessed with her body, it’s impossible not to bend down and cover one with my mouth.
