Paying For It

The pain hadn’t compared to the pleasure. Axel had been gentle to the point of exquisite torture, the caressing, the teasing, the ... sucking. As he moved inside of me, my thoughts of inadequacy, which plagued me every waking moment, disappeared. It became about us ... him, and how good he made me feel.

I lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat while snuggled into his embrace. Axel rained kisses on the top of my head every so often, making me so treasured… so relaxed, my eyes fluttered closed.

I shouldn’t fall asleep. I should get up and wash off the stickiness—

We hadn’t used a condom. We hadn’t used ...

My heart galloped in my chest as fear rode my veins. I sat up straight, knocking his hand away. Axel startled from his reclining pose, his eyes wide and wary.

/"We didn’t use a condom, Axel./"
