He shakes his head even as a smile blossoms on his face. “I don’t think that’s how it works, babe.”
“Regardless, you were the first guy whose lips touched mine. Thanks for saving me back then,” I tell him. “You’ve always been there for me. Like my own personal white knight.”
He wrinkles his nose. “I think black suits me better. And you don’t need to thank me for taking care of you, Christine. I will always take care of you.”
“I know. But I’m still mad at you for fixing the situation with the coffee shop.”
“Again, I had nothing to do with that,” he states with aggravation in his tone.
“Okay,” I say sarcastically. If not Michael, then who else would it be?
He simply rolls his eyes and continues with what he was doing.
“Why are you so sure this isn’t forever?” he finally asks, sounding sad.
I should have known he’d bring this up again. “Because forever’s a pretty long time and nothing in life is guaranteed.”
Michael sighs. “I don’t know how to convince you that you’re it for me.”
He walks toward me and pulls me into his lap. “
“You don’t have to do that. I see it every day. With your actions, every look, every kiss.”
I place a soft kiss on his lips that has me tingling. Michael must feel it too because he pulls my head down and deepens the kiss. Soon enough, we’re a tangle of sheets on the bed as we kiss until we’re breathless.
“I know the perfect way to apologize for earlier,” I tell him in between kisses.
He raises an eyebrow as I slide off him on the bed. I pull his arm and guide him to sit on the edge, and then I kneel in front of him. He’s watching me with bated breath. He exhales when I slowly pull off his shirt, then his briefs. I smile up at him right before my hand reaches out and grabs his cock, which is already erect.
“Fuck,” Michael breathes.
He reaches for my hair and gathers it to one side. I suck him slowly while my hands stroke the base of his cock. Michael drives his hips forward, begging for more.
I take him deep in my throat and when I look up at him, his eyes have fluttered shut.
His hand goes to the back of my neck and he helps me keep pace as my mouth swallows his long cock over and over again.
He starts to squirm and I can tell he’s close to coming. I focus on the tip of his cock and reach for his balls, gently rolling them between my fingers. He spreads his legs so I can have better access. I smooth my palm over his balls and play with the tip of his cock, sucking, licking, flicking, and generally driving him wild.
I take him in my mouth again, all the way to the back of my throat. His cock jolts against my lips. I release with a loud pop and lick his long length.
“Oh, fuck, baby. I’m coming,” Michael says, his voice husky and hoarse.
I take him deep in my throat until I gag. Michael grips the edge of the bed as he explodes inside of me and I take it all, sucking him until he has nothing left to give. When I finish, Michael falls back on the bed, completely sated and unable to move.
“Holy fuck, Christine,” he says in wonder.
I smile before climbing into bed beside him and laying my head on his chest.
“I don’t want this to end, either,” I say softly.
He holds me closer. “It won’t.”
His words carry a promise I really want to believe. Michael has always been honest with me. I just have to trust in him now. I have to believe him when he tells me that we’re endgame.
