Forever Nine

“The doctor said I could have sex whenever I felt up to it!” I sounded petulant and didn’t care. He’d gotten me worked up and told me he was going to finally give me what I wanted, and he was just going to leave me like this?


“Jesse, what I want, what wewant, is so much more than sex. Besides, we have a lot more to talk about before we scene together.” Holden leaned in, removed his hand, then placed a soft, chaste kiss on my cheek. “And anyway, you said you wanted orgasm denial. We can start with that.”


A frustrated sound tore out of my throat, and Holden just chuckled as he stood. He ran a hand through my hair, then walked out of the room. But not before he tossed over his shoulder, “You should take a nap.”


He was going to be the death of me. My dick was hard, I wanted his hands on me in the worst way, and he thought I should take a nap? But I found my eyes closing, and I marveled at how much I wanted to obey just because he had given a command.
