Twenty Two

Kit

Waking up felt difficult. Being pulled from dreamland into the real world left me groggy and confused by my surroundings. It took a long minute for me to register that there was a very naked body below me. Two arms banded around me, keeping my body pinned in place.

Why am I naked?

Vivid flashes of sensations flooded me. There weren’t many visual reminders since it had been dark, but the touch of skin, pressing of flesh, and pleasure blooming everywhere as my most secret wish had come true.

Oh my fucking god. We had sex. We actually had sex.

A high-pitched squeak left me before I could stop it. I shoved my hand over my mouth, hoping he hadn’t heard it. The rumble of his chest told me Thane was very much awake and aware of me on top of him.

“Ye okay there, Kit?”

Yeah, great, just remembering how amazing your dick felt inside me last night and your dirty mouth saying things no one has ever said to me before and how I got off on it. Just fine, Thane, absolutely peachy.

What did I even say? He hadn’t spoken to me after it happened, but then again, it wasn’t like I made conversation either.

The whole thing overwhelmed me. There was no universe where I thought for one second he would pull my hair back and threaten to fuck me if I didn’t stop squirming on him. I hadn’t meant to, but I couldn’t get comfortable after our almost fight. My mind kept replaying the way I’d snapped at him. It didn’t feel good. But it also hadn’t escaped my notice the way he got hard as I did it. That distracted me even further.

My mind had been a mess. Then he had to go threaten me with something I desperately craved. Of course, I’d given in. I wanted him so much it burned. And fuck, had it been worth it.

“I’m fine,” I squeaked.

It was a woefully inadequate description of the way I was feeling about everything. I felt too much. It made my skin hot. Pressure erupted at my temples, but I squeezed my eyes shut and willed my body to stay under control. To not lose it on me.

A soothing touch came in the form of Thane running his hand down my bare back. He wasn’t too firm or too soft. The tension dissipated after a few moments, leaving me feeling pretty fucking vulnerable. Anything could set me off, but I couldn’t let it happen in front of him. I preferred to be alone when I had a meltdown. Then no one could see the messiness it always brought on. They couldn’t make judgements and think badly of me over something I had no control over.

“I think we need tae talk.”

Those few words made my breathing falter. Nothing good ever came out of that phrase. At least, not in my experience.

“I guess we do.”

Thane let out a sigh even as he kept rubbing my back.

“Kit… I… I feel like I took advantage of the situation last night, and I hate mahself for that.
