Chapter 43
Later that night, they barely made it to the bed.
Hands roamed. Mouths clashed. Clothes vanished like they’d never mattered.
Blake pinned Jamie beneath him, their bodies moving in sync, mouths slick, breath ragged. Jamie kissed him like he’d gone days starving – because he had – and Blake whispered things that made Jamie writhe, hips bucking up, needy and bold.
“You want me?” Blake murmured into his neck.
Jamie gasped, arching. “God, yes. I want all of you.”
Blake reached for the lube, slicking his fingers, preparing Jamie with slow, deliberate care – even while his own body shook with restraint.
And when he slid in?
Jamie’s head fell back with a gasp.
This time, it wasn’t sweet.
It was filthy. Hot. Desperate.
Blake thrust into him hard, deep, fast – his name falling from Jamie’s lips between moans. The bed creaked. Skin slapped. Their bodies moved like they couldn’t get close enough.
Jamie dug his nails into Blake’s back. Blake bit his shoulder. Jamie kissed the corner of his mouth between gasps.
And when they came?
It was all heat and lightning. Stars behind their eyes. Hearts pounding in rhythm.
They collapsed together – sweaty, breathless, shaking.
And home.
Morning light spilled into the room in gold and pale blue.
Jamie woke to a kiss at the curve of his shoulder.
“Mmm,” he hummed, eyes still closed. “If that’s how you’re saying good morning, we might be late for work.”
Blake chuckled. “Worth it.”
They lay there for a few minutes longer – just kissing, slow and sleepy, tangled in sheets that smelled like sex and cinnamon candles.
Eventually, they got up – reluctantly.
Jamie made toast and coffee while Blake showered. Then they switched.
By 8:00 a.m., they were dressed, caffeinated, and standing by the door.
“Two days,” Blake said, fixing Jamie’s collar. “Then you and me. Zero plans. Nothing but weekend.”
Jamie smiled. “I can’t wait.”
Blake kissed him – quick but meaningful.
“Let’s go be brilliant. And then let’s disappear.”
They walked out together.
And it didn’t matter that it was Thursday.
Because love wasn’t waiting for weekends anymore.
