“You won!” Matty yelled in exaggerated delight and he held up his hand and gave me five.

“I can’t believe it,” I said with a laugh as my eyes lifted to meet Mav’s. My stomach dropped out at the look I saw there and I found it difficult to swallow after that. I wasn’t sure, but it felt like something had shifted in our relationship this morning after I’d jerked him off. It should have been such a simple thing – a quick, down and dirty act meant to get Mav off and nothing more. But that wasn’t how it had started and it definitely wasn’t how it had ended.

As soon as I’d asked Mav to come with me this morning to let Baby out, I’d sensed a profound change in him…like he was finally letting his guard down and letting me see the real him and not just the parts he wanted me to see. But letting those walls fall had come at a price too, and his vulnerability had made my heart ache. The way he’d kissed me had been unexpected and as amazing as his mouth had felt against mine, there’d been an edge of panic in every brush of his lips. Like he was afraid to stop. My instincts had taken over and I’d begun trying to ease his fear by bringing him pleasure. But his reaction hadn’t been at all what I’d thought it would be.

Yes, he’d gotten off. But I hadn’t missed the whimpers that had bubbled up from his throat. And I’d finally understood that as strong and powerful as Mav was, he was plagued with the same raw neediness I’d been experiencing the night before. Except my need had been sated by the way he’d made love to me, the way he’d held me and spoken to me and told me how beautiful and perfect I was. I just hadn’t known how to give that back to him. But when that sob of relief had slipped from his throat as he’d come, I’d known I’d done something right. The way he’d lovingly washed my body in the shower, and I his, had been proof that whatever darkness had been rolling through him when I’d first woken up had subsided…for now.

I’d been surprised to learn that Mav had been following me and then had turned that responsibility over to someone else, but it hadn’t bothered me as much as it probably should have. Maybe because I was used to overprotective men. Maybe because I liked knowing what it meant. But all of the conflicting emotions I’d been struggling with had slipped away as soon as Mav had told me that being with me the night before had been the best night of his entire life. I’d made the decision then and there that I was going to fight for whatever this thing with Mav was, because every second I spent with him was better than the last. I’d had some great moments in life, but few compared to what I’d found in his arms, his touches, his looks.
