SEAN
I donât want to move.
I know I need to. I can already feel my cock softening inside him, but I just donât want to. Vic is solid and warm underneath me, and while weâre like this, I donât have to think about what comes next. But as soon as we move from this spot, the real world will flood back in, and that means talking.
About what we did.
About what comes next.
Iâm pretty sure Vic feels the same about one-night stands as I do, and anyway, itâs not like weâre strangers.
Arenât we?
No. It might look that way to the casual observer, we havenât seen each other in a long time, but it doesnât feel that way. Being with Vic is easy. It was the first time round and that, like so many other things between us, hasnât changed. At least not for me anyway.
Which is probably why we need to talk.
Iâm not a fan of leaving things to assumptions, especially where my emotions are concerned. I need to know what this is between us, what the expectations are. Not the most romantic of post-sex conversations, but I donât want to spend the next few hours or days agonising over whatâs happening between us.
Iâm too old for that shit.
âHey.â Vic rubs his hands up and down my spine, and I realise Iâve been silent for too long. Iâm probably crushing him too. âYou okay?â His voice is soft, warm, but thereâs a hint of uncertainty in it, and it makes me sit up to see his face.
Thereâs a matching emotion in his eyes too, and I donât want that. For either of us.
I smile down at him, brushing a wayward curl out of his eyes. âBetter than okay.â It takes a second, but the uncertainty fades, and he smiles back, eyes bright like autumn leaves. His hair is a mess of dark curls, lips red and a little puffy, and Iâve made his skin pink with my stubble.
Iâve never seen a more captivating sight.
My stomach flutters as his smile widens because heâs looking back at me with the same expression.
I wait for it to hit.
One, two . . . there it is.
Panic.
I like Vic. I could like him a whole lot more, so fucking easily, but where is this going? I know itâs early days, and Iâm probably jumping the gun, but I canât go through that again.
I donât want Vic to see how worried I am, so I carefully pull out and dispose of the condom. I grab my discarded T-shirt to clean us both up, then pull the quilt up and lie back down.
Heâs rolled onto his side, so I do the same.
I know Iâm doing a shit job at hiding my feelings because his brow furrows and he cups my jaw, thumb tracing back and forth over my cheek. âI donât think you are okay,â he whispers. âTalk to me.â
Fuck. Sean. Way to ruin the mood.
But I wasnât lying about needing honesty in a relationship. And whatever ours ends up looking like, I need to know I can trust Vic to tell me the truth.
