Chapter 99: Crossing the Line

The heat between them intensified as Luca fully surrendered to the moment, his body responding instinctively to Ethan's every touch. The way Ethan's hands roamed over him, exploring every inch with purpose, made Luca's head spin with a mix of anticipation and yearning. Their breaths came out in uneven gasps, mingling in the heated air as the boundaries they once tried to set dissolved entirely.

Ethan's fingers teased at the hem of Luca's pants, sliding them down just enough to expose his skin to the cool air. He glanced up at Luca's reflection in the mirror, locking eyes with him as his hands traced the sensitive area along his hips. "You're beautiful like this," he murmured, his voice barely more than a rumble.

The words sent a shiver down Luca's spine, and he bit his lip, trying to contain the wave of emotions flooding through him. It was overwhelming—being here, exposed, and at Ethan's mercy. But it wasn't fear that gripped him now; it was the thrill of giving in to a desire that had been simmering just beneath the surface for far too long.

Ethan's mouth found its way to Luca's neck, sucking lightly on the tender skin while his hands wandered lower. Luca could feel the heat pooling in his abdomen, his breath coming out in ragged hitches as Ethan's fingers moved with deliberate slowness. The sensation of Ethan's lips marking him, coupled with the boldness of his touch, made Luca's legs tremble. He leaned against the mirror for support, his fingers pressing into the glass as he struggled to keep himself upright.

"Ethan… I…" Luca's voice was barely audible, his words catching in his throat.

Ethan smirked against his skin, his breath hot as he murmured, "You don't have to say anything, Luca. Just feel." His hand slipped around to Luca's front, and the shock of the touch made him arch his back instinctively, pressing himself closer to Ethan's firm body.

The mirror's cool surface contrasted with the heat coursing through Luca's veins. It grounded him even as Ethan's touch sent him spiraling further into a haze of pleasure. Their bodies moved together in a rhythm that felt both familiar and entirely new, a push and pull of unrestrained desire. Luca's mind swam with the intensity of it all—the way Ethan's fingers teased him, the roughness of his breath against his ear, the possessive grip on his waist.

As their reflections intertwined, Luca's gaze remained locked on the man behind him. There was a fire in Ethan's eyes, a hunger that seemed impossible to sate. It was as if Ethan had been waiting for this moment, to claim him in a way that left no room for doubt or escape.

Suddenly, Ethan turned Luca around to face him, their bodies flush against one another. He grabbed Luca's chin, tilting his face up, forcing their eyes to meet. "I want all of you, Luca," he said, his voice rough with longing. "And I won't settle for anything less."

Luca's pulse raced as Ethan's words sank in. The intensity of his gaze, the undeniable desire in his voice—it was all too much to resist. With a shaky breath, Luca surged forward, capturing Ethan's lips in a fervent kiss that spoke of everything he couldn't put into words. The kiss deepened, their tongues clashing with a hunger that felt insatiable.

And just like that, they crossed the line they had danced around for so long, giving in to the need that had consumed them both.
