Justin froze for a moment and then rose up enough to seize Gabriel’s mouth in a blistering kiss that wiped away any lingering worries or doubts about what they were doing. He needed Justin, needed him more than he’d needed anything else in his life.
When Justin’s fingers left him, he heard the snick of the plastic lube cap again, followed by the slick head of Justin’s cock pressing into him. Gabriel took a deep breath and pressed back against him. The burn had returned, but it was worse than before. Justin moved inside of him, inch by slow and steady inch, giving him time to adjust. Sweat dripped down from Justin’s jaw, and he could feel it making their bodies slippery where they touched.
“So tight,” Justin growled when he was finally fully seated within Gabriel. Without shifting, he moved one arm under Gabriel’s neck so he could press his hand to his chest, while his other hand came to wrap around his cock. Gabriel was encased in a perfect cocoon of Justin’s strength. There was no escape, but he was sure there was nowhere else he would ever want to be.
Justin slowly stroked his cock while at the same time, he shifted his hips, pulling out ever so carefully only to push in again just as slowly.
“Oh fuck, Justin!” Gabriel cried out. The burning evaporated, and the pleasure was so sharp he was nearly seeing stars. “I’m not going to last.”
“Good, because you’re hugging my dick so tight right now, I’m ready to blow.”
Justin started to move. Gabriel was held captive with Justin working both his dick and ass at the same time. Reaching over his head, he threaded his fingers through Justin’s hair and held on tight. There was nowhere to run or hide from the pure pleasure streaking through his body. No slowing it down. Within only a couple of minutes, his orgasm barreled through him like a runaway train. A scream was torn from his throat as long ribbons of semen landed across his stomach and Justin’s hand.
The moment he started to crash, Justin released his cock and grabbed his thigh. He lifted his leg up just slightly and increased his thrusts, pounding into him hard enough Gabriel wanted to come all over again. Justin shouted a moment later as his body jerked and his rhythm fell away. And on a sigh, he whispered, “Gabriel.”

A low, contented sound rumbled from Gabriel, and Justin’s mouth stretched into a smile. That was a sound of pure happiness.
It wasn’t just pride that bubbled up in his chest when he thought about how he’d created that feeling in Gabriel, it was joy in seeing the sexy man stretched out next to him looking so happy and relaxed. There was something in him that hated the darkness that clung to Gabriel, that hounded his steps and stole away his happiness almost within seconds of him finding it.
Gabriel’s nightmares had stopped almost entirely after they’d started fucking. There had only been a few nights that he had woken to sounds of sleepy shouting from Gabriel, and he wanted to think that maybe he was helping to keep those ghosts at bay for him.
“I need to move,” Gabriel mumbled against the pillow. He turned his head and blinked slowly at Justin as if he were fighting sleep.
Justin bit his lower lip in indecision and then finally said the words he’d wanted to say for nearly two weeks. “You could stay.”
Gabriel’s eyes opened a little wider, and he was more awake than he’d been just a couple of seconds ago. It had been an unspoken rule each night that after all their fun stuff, they’d retreat to their separate bedrooms for the night. No actual sleeping together.
Sleeping together in the same space was too intimate. So far, it had happened only once, when Gabriel had watched over Justin the night he’d been wounded. But now, sleeping together felt dangerous for a different reason, and Justin still wanted it.
“I don’t think that would be wise,” Gabriel said carefully.
Justin forced a grin and stretched his arm over Gabriel’s bare stomach, as if he could hold the man there when he could already feel him pulling away. “Why? Afraid I snore?”
“I already know you snore. I can hear you from my room.”
“Then why not?”
“Don’t do this. You know we can’t.” Gabriel pushed Justin’s arm off him and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. He got up and started hunting for his briefs. Justin lay back and watched his jerky, agitated movements.
“Why?”
“Stop asking why! You’re not a child. You know why.”
“G, it doesn’t have to—”
“Staying means wanting to stay more. It means wanting a hell of a lot more than just sleeping together, and that’s not an option for either of us. It’s bad enough that when a contract comes up for your head, I’ll have to pass.”
