Page 31 of Trust in Me
“You okay?” Brax held still as he searched my face.
I nodded, panting. He pressed in another inch. The stretch burned, but the pleasure muted the pain. It wasn’t enough, not yet. I needed more. “Oh, God, Brax. More. Plea—“
My words cut off as he thrust all the way to the hilt, burying himself inside me.
I held my breath to hold in my scream.Holy fuck.He was massive. The stretch was painful, but as my body adjusted, it felt good.
Brax held perfectly still inside me for a minute while I adjusted. I let out my breath. He started to move.
Every inch pressed against my walls, filling me. I arched my hips to take him even deeper, needing more. He picked up a rhythm, in and out, as I got closer to that peak.
When he tilted his hips slightly, putting pressure on my clit, I was gone.
“Brax, Sir, I need to come, please—oh God—“ I begged, my fingers gripping for purchase on the smooth sheets.
“Come for me, Avery.”
I tumbled over the cliff as he drove deep, holding himself inside me while I clenched around him. When I started to come back down, he moved slowly.
I wilted against the pillows in total bliss.
He picked up speed, driving faster and harder into me. I relaxed into the sensations for a minute.
Then my core tightened again. I opened my eyes in surprise. I’d never been able to climax more than once. He’d already given me two orgasms, but another one was building. Another one might kill me.
I whimpered as the climax built, stronger than the other two. “Oh God, I can’t—“
Brax’s stubble scraped against my cheek as his deep voice spoke in my ear. “Come for me, darlin’.”
There was no stopping the orgasm that exploded over me, consuming my body completely. His cock jerked inside me with his release.
We lay together, breathing heavily.

Avery
Twoweeksofbliss.Work seemed easier, somehow, when I had someone to come home to and something to look forward to. Even the pediatric ICU rotation hadn’t been as bad when Brax sent me text messages through the day.
My phone vibrated in my scrubs pocket as I headed out of the ICU workroom.
Brax:Hi there, gorgeous. Just wanted to see how your day was going. Miss you already.
Avery:It’s going okay. I can’t wait to see you.
For the past few days, we’d left the townhome together at six am. He drove me to work in his pickup. He would drop me off, then head off to the station to start his shift at seven. My shift usually ended before his, so I’d hang out at the cafe in the hospital lobby to wait for him. It was getting routine, and beautifully boring. It was exactly what I needed as a creature of habit.
We’d talked about his wife, about my parents. Somehow what had started as a scene or two at the club had turned into one of the deepest relationships of my life.
Who knew that giving up control could be so life changing?
Today had been more of the same. He’d dropped me off with a kiss, handing me the travel mug of coffee through the truck window.
When I’d gotten to the unit, I’d been hoping for more gorgeous boredom of patients on the mend. The two patients I’d been following the day before were almost ready to transfer out of the ICU. I couldn’t wait to give their parents the good news.
As soon as I saw the face of the overnight resident, my heart twisted in my chest. I knew before he started speaking that it wasn’t good news. My old patients were doing well, as I’d hoped. I’d gotten a new patient, though. A two-year-old boy with newly diagnosed leukemia.Cancer.
The little guy, Colton, had been admitted to the ICU for induction chemotherapy, which was often the most dangerous part of treatment. I listened to the history as Ben rattled it off. The toddler had seemed more tired than usual, had seemed to develop bruises out of nowhere. His parents had brought him to the ER, worried about a bloody nose that had started without cause. They’d been shocked, as parents always were, when the test results showed cancer.
