This isn't forever.
We knew that going into this week. I know that now, even though I'm sitting with my feet in Nick's lap while we watch a movie, his hand on my shin. I glance at him, down the couch, his blue eyes fixed on the television. I think about the past six days. The beach. The sex. The homecooked meals for dinner. The fact that he calls me "baby" now.
This isn't forever.
But damn if I don't want it to be.
"What are you looking at?" Nick says softly.
"Sorry." I think the television light hides the fact that I'm blushing. "Just thinking."
"About me?"
"Yeah."
He traces a circle on my shin. "About us," he says.
"Yeah," I reply.
Nick swallows, looks away, then meets my eyes. He doesn't speak.
"I can request a trade," I offer. "Bring us closer together."
He sighs. "You shouldn't. You're happy in New York."
"I am. But I-- I don't know." I'm definitely blushing by now, and the television glow isn't doing anything to help hide it. His eyes are piercing, right on mine. "You-- I'm happy with you."
He smiles, and it's the most relaxed look I've ever seen on his face.
I scoot down the couch so I'm sitting next to him. Bring his smiling lips up to mine, kiss him.
"I know how risky this feels," I say. "I-- but-- I think it might be worth it."
"You think I might be worth it," Nick says, smiling again.
"Yeah."
He kisses me so gently that I feel like I'm melting into the couch. But the want is there, too, under the softness, building, until he grabs at my waist and pulls me onto his lap. I adjust myself, straddling his legs, and he sighs into me.
"You good?" I ask, leaning back to look him in the eyes.
"More than good." His hands trace down my back, cupping my ass. "You?"
"Yeah. I'm good." I kiss him again. "Just, you know, sad we leave tomorrow morning."
"Well, you know what that means about tonight."
I know exactly what it means. "What?" I say.
"That I get to savor the fuck out of you," Nick replies, almost growling.
He kisses me, and it's hungry, needy, nearly desperate. When he pulls away, we're both breathing heavily. And I can't speak for him, but my cock's rock hard under my sweatpants.
"Should we turn off Thelma & Louise?" I ask.
He laughs. "What a classic. Yeah, turn it off. We should head to bed."
I ease myself off Nick's lap and reach across the couch for the remote. I've just gotten it when I feel his hand smack down on my ass cheek. My cock twitches as I turn the tv off, plunging the room into darkness.
The only sounds are the breeze outside and our breathing. I feel his hands grabbing at the band of my sweatpants, starting to tug them down over my hips.
"I thought we were heading to bed?" I say.
"Sorry. You're too delicious right here."
My sweatpants and boxers slide down over my ass, leaving me exposed. I hear Nick spit, then feel his wet hand gently wrapping around my cock. He gives it a couple strokes, then spits again. This time, I feel his saliva hit my skin and pool around my hole. One of his fingers starts to toy with the lubrication.
"You're so damn hot," he murmurs, stroking my cock and rubbing my hole.
"Fuck," I manage. "Your hands feel so fucking good."
"Imagine how good my mouth's gonna feel."
I moan into the couch.
"You want that? You want my mouth on your cock?"
"Yes," I whimper.
His finger dips quickly inside me, and I feel my hips jerk in response. "You want to beg for my mouth?" he asks.
