Chapter 11

Sweat rolled down our skin as we slid against each other. Then there we were. Coming together as one. It was so damn good, I had no words, only soundless sighs, eyes closed tight against a wave of pleasure so stark, it was out of this world. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Nelson was right there with me, and his swearing was like honey, and his release, stunning.

If I got to see him like this, every night, totally blissed out because I gave him pleasure, and he me, then maybe a relationship was worth it.

“Goddamn,” one of us said.

“Fuck,” said the other.
