“So we’ll get to call tomorrow then?”
“Yeah. Spider said he’ll have it for us first thing along with a new untraceable phone.”
“Good. I really hope this works.”
“It will. Puppet was livid over losing his own flesh. He’ll be all over this new information.”
I nod, trying to stay positive. This will work. It has to. If not, I have no idea what to do.
Night kisses my shoulder softly and I pull him to me, feathering kisses all over his face. It’s like worry lines have appeared out of nowhere. My beautiful man is falling apart. I don’t know if it’s because he’s exhausting his body or if the stress of it all is making them suddenly appear deeper. I hate seeing him like this; he’s normally so strong.
My kiss lands on his lips next and he takes it up a notch, adding his skillful tongue to the mix. Within seconds his hand’s under my shirt, squeezing my breasts and tweaking my nipples. It feels divine to have my mind distracted for the first time in what feels like forever. I’m mentally drained, and his touch is a blissful reprieve.
“I want you,” I whisper, my nails dig into his forearm, begging for more.
“Yeah?” His husky breath trails over my shoulder as he presses more kisses to a spot I never realized could be so erotic. “I always want you, Daydream,” he states as his hand pushes my yoga pants down, freeing my lower half to him to do with as he pleases.
His warm palm disappears momentarily to push his boxer briefs down and then he’s pushing his length inside me from behind. His cock stretches my center, the burn a welcome feeling.
“Ah,” groaning lowly as he sinks in deeper.
“You okay?”
“Mmmhmm.”
One more push as he grips my hip tightly with his fingers and he’s seated in me fully. It’s been years since I’ve felt him down there, and it was never like this. It was never soft and gentle like he’s showing me right now.
His lips work their way to my back, kissing and biting me sweetly, enough to cause my hips to jump eagerly.
“I missed you.” It takes a lot inside for me to admit feelings I’ve kept locked away, hidden from the world. But my words are true; I did miss him. Everything about him, especially the way he feels when he fills me so fully.
At my admission, his teeth sink into my shoulder as he thrusts just a touch rougher.
“Keep saying shit like that dollface. I love hearing you talk.”
“Even here, like this?’
“Especially like this. You mean everything to me, B. Wish you’d see that.”
My throat grows tight and I swallow through the impending tears wanting to appear. Now’s not the time for them, but he just said something I’ve wanted to hear leave his mouth for years. Growing up, I didn’t think there was a man out there for me; I’m too much of a mess. Turns out I needed someone just as messy to get me and need me, to love me and keep me, like I want them to.
“I hope so, Night, ‘cause I don’t know if I can continue to go through life without you.”
“You don’t have to, I’m here,” he rasps as his mouth makes a blissful assault to my neck. His thrusts grow rhythmic, playing my body in its own sweet melody he’s slowly creating.
He needs me to show him love right now, but I didn’t realize that I needed him to show me love too. When you’re a mom you learn to put your desires on hold. But Nightmare’s breaking through that, slowly filling up holes I didn’t know existed. He’s making me complete, and the crazy thing is, it’s all happening in the opposite order.
Usually relationships begin, and you get time to build on to them, to be happy and in love before you face obstacles. For us, it’s been completely different. One thing after another we’ve been fighting through. At first, we fought against each other. Now, we fight against them together and it’s an entirely new feeling to have.
“Don’t leave me again,” he mutters in my ear, pushing inside deep.
“I won’t.” I reach back, my hand weaving into his hair, keeping his mouth to me.
“Promise me, baby.”
“I promise, Night, I promise.” Moaning, my legs clamp together tighter, making him feel even bigger as he glides in from behind.
“I want stars, Bethany,” he orders, and I nod, concentrating on the amazing feeling, letting my orgasm build. He’s so damn bossy, but I love it.
