CHAPTER 13
RICHARD
Wearing loose pajama pants and nothing else, Carter slept on his side in my lap. I spooned his lithe body, my nose in the soft brown hair at his nape. His scent got more intense by the hour, and I could feel myself getting tied to it. Had I forgotten how powerful the bond during heat could get? Possibly. My alpha urges had me clinging to Carter for the whole night. I woke up a few times, making sure he was by my side.
The warmth from his back seeped into my chest, and I imagined it enveloping my heart. He was so sweet. And the way his body felt, how he tasted, his lips, his little hole stained with my cum⦠The most fascinating thing? I didnât need any of those add-ons I used to think I craved in sex. I didnât need him to submit to me, wasnât the least bit interested in tying him up or spanking and edging him for hours until he broke down in tears. I could savor Carter just as he was, and seeing the pleasure etched in his features when he rode my cock had proven to be more satisfying than any role play or carefully negotiated power exchange Iâd ever enacted.
Another realization hit me in the early morning hours, a painful one, full of heavy guilt. Just like I used to crave winning at work, I used to think I needed it in love. Had I ever loved Leo? Or had I only wanted him as a trophy? Iâd won the ultimate prize, the most beautiful man in the world, whom everybody lusted after. And to keep winning, Iâd had to prove my ownership again and again. Iâd let other people fuck him, then punished him to prove he belonged to me. Together with Leoâs humiliation kink, my stupid ego made us as wrong for each other as two people could be. Nothing weâd done together was bad in itself, but weâd done it for all the wrong reasons. It hadnât brought us peace, and it hadnât brought us closer together. Weâd only gotten more and more wound up until we couldnât stand each other.
Holding Carter and breathing him in, I glimpsed a different kind of love. Healing and hopeful. Yes, he was here only for the heat, and I shouldnât expect anything else, but already after the couple of times heâd made love to me, he was healing me, patching my conscience back together, and cleansing my murky soul. I would cherish him like the gift he was.
I fell asleep again, lulled by Carterâs soft breaths. When I woke up, the sun was shining brightly behind the gauzy curtains, and the empty bed was saturated with Carterâs marvelous scent. I frowned and stretched, rolling onto my back. The bedroom door was cracked openâI always left it open for Noodle so he could lie on his bed by the foot of mine or slink off to the couch since he liked to change locale during the night.
