“Snake,” I cried out. “Please.”
Cum shot from my cock, pulsing over his torso. He drove into me, and the ecstasy on his face made my body shudder even harder.
He was beautiful, rough and sweet at the same time. He seemed shocked as he came, like I’d forced his orgasm from him. His hips rocked against me over and over. Then he lay back against the pillows, sweaty and panting.
I hung over him, not sure what to do or say. Fucking him had been everything I’d expected and more. So much more. The pleasure was as intense as I’d imagined. He’d made me forget reality, but that wasn’t all. I’d seen something in his eyes that made me wonder if there might be a chance for us. I wanted to know more about him. I wanted more time with him, but that was foolish. He wasn’t going to stay. Once it was safe for him to leave, he would, and I would feel more alone than I ever had.
He cupped my face, brushing his thumb over my cheekbone. “Are you all right, angel?”
“I… Yeah, I’m fine.”
“Did I hurt you? Was I too rough?”
I loved that he cared. My chest tightened, and that feeling deep in the pit of my stomach—the one that told me I wasn’t going to be able to get over him easily—intensified. “No. That was exactly what I needed.”
He grinned. “Yeah?”
I nodded. We looked at each other for a few seconds, neither of us saying anything. The tension in the air was so thick I could barely breathe. I eventually forced myself to move. “I should check your arm and make sure it looks okay. And you’ve got to be starving. You didn’t eat dinner last night.”
Snake glanced over at the nightstand. “I can eat it now.”
“It won’t be good now. I can make you breakfast. I don’t think Beau would mind if I used his kitchen, and I can replace any food we eat, although there might not be much here.”
“You don’t need to do that. You’ve done plenty for me already, and you need to work, don’t you?”
He shook his head. “Since Beau’s out of town, we’re closed today. We only work a half day on Saturdays anyway. I don’t mind cooking for you, but first, let me clean you up.”

Snake
I didn’t like how Leland turned all nervous on me again as soon as we’d recovered from what had to be the best sex of my life. I also didn’t like that my heart was screaming for me to stay right here with him when I knew what I needed to do was walk away. As soon as I got a report from the Beau about whether or not his friends could work some magic for me, I needed to drive away as fast as I could and not look back. I didn’t stay in one place. I didn’t do ties or relationships. I was better on my own.
Really, or is it just easier to tell yourself that?
It was easier to live like that. I didn’t intend to become a good boy now that I was on the outside, and I didn’t want Leland compromised. He deserved someone who would take care of him. I would just bring him trouble.
What if he likes trouble? He sure seemed to like it just now.
No, I wasn’t going to put his life in danger. I’d already done that once. I wasn’t going to let it happen again. If he stayed with me, that’s what would happen, and if I stayed here, I would bring more trouble to Beau and everyone who worked for him. Trigger wasn’t the only guy who was after me, and he was far from the only person I’d crossed before I went to prison.
Leland returned with a washcloth, a towel, and some first-aid supplies. I agreed to let him check on my arm, but I took the washcloth from him and cleaned his cum off me, although honestly, I would’ve been happy to wear his seed all day.
I tried not to react when he pulled the bandage off my arm. The jostling my wound had received while Leland had gloriously ridden my cock had made my arm hurt like hell. I didn’t want to admit that to Leland, though.
He studied the wound, gingerly laying his hands against the edges. “It doesn’t feel hot, and it’s no redder. I don’t see any other signs of infection. I’m going to change the bandage, but I still wish you’d go have it looked at.”
“I will. Beau said the Theriots would send their doctor over later today.” I didn’t want them to, but they insisted. I was already going to owe them. I didn’t want to owe them that much more.
They said they were doing it because I was Beau’s friend and Beau had done a hell of a lot for them, but I didn’t think that would be the end of it. It was never that simple to get help from people like them.
