Page 96 of Yours, Forever

He threw the toy to the side of the bed. Within the next minute, he climbed the bed, placed his knees by my thighs, and got his cock in me in one swift move. He fucked me harder thanhe had played with me with Xarion. Waves moved through my flesh with each of his thrusts.

I snaked my arm under me and rubbed my clit.

"Are you going to give me another one before I come inside you?"

That was all it took for me to come again.

He moaned. "You're so good, Eva."

"Show me," I said.

He came, his own set of breathy and strained sounds pouring out. I couldn't help it, I grinned.

He threw himself on the bed. "Ouch. I landed on Xarion."

I finally opened my eyes, and gazed at him in the foggy bliss of morning sex. The kind that came with two orgasms.

"I thought you'd be intimidated," I said.

"I was, for a second, I'm not going to lie. I can't compete with a rugged dick like this." He dug the toy from under him and waved it in front of me. "Better to make friends and let it be my assistant, isn't it?"

"Yours is pretty nice, too. Totally human-like, but good. I think I might develop a special kind of affection for it."

"Glad to hear it." He smiled. "Now we're really late. I'll get to the shower first; you look too pleased and soft to make you get out of bed just yet."

"You spoil me, Max."

"I aim to please." He kissed my shoulder and left me there, thoroughly coddled.

A bit over an hour later, Max and I made our way to rEvalution. I almost took his hand, high on the euphoria of the past few days… but I didn't. I even refused to think too hard about it, lest I confuse it with an actual future with him.

The fact we both still wore our rings was bewildering enough.

"Did you hear from your realtor?" I asked.

"Yes. The inspector did a thorough walkthrough. Aside from the cosmetic changes we want, he's recommending we upgrade the electrical. Don't panic— apparently it'll be an easy rewire and panel update, thanks to how the house is built."

"Are we using that to get a lower price?"

He arched an eyebrow at me. "Why? I'm not looking for a deal. I'm looking for our home."

Fluttering wings tickled my chest.

We made it to the café. Ale had opened that morning and she, Lily, and a few early morning patrons welcomed us in.

We went straight back to the tiny office in the back, where we hung our jackets behind the door.

"What's next, then?" I asked.

"If we give Ricardo the green light, he'll start the process and we may be able to sign the papers in a few days."

Wings became waves, an emotional tide clashing against my ribs.

"Oh, wow." I rubbed my lips together. "We're getting the Venturelli house. I can't believe it."

We were still in the tiny office. The lights were off; we hadn't planned to stay there for long. Instead of moving out of the room, Max pushed me against the wall.

He loved to encroach my space. I loved it when he did.
