On the tip of a breath, he replies, “I won’t ever hurt you”

I lift and kiss where ers were “I know”

We lose ourselves in each other with kisses and thrusts, moans, and names uttered as prayers

Begging for this to last forever, I’ood to take things sloatch his sto to pump and push, hold and move, a dance bethat he wants and his body’s desire Incredible is not fitting for this man

The coil tightens my core, and I take a breath to release the pressure, but there’s no holding back any longer We fall together this tito embed it into his chest instead “Oh, my God Yes Rad” I squeeze my eyes closed as my body awakens

“I need you, baby,” he groans as if the words the into the sweet abyss Then his body collapses on top of ht locked in my embrace

He was right Pure heaven

He rolls to the side and tries to catch his breath I’ulate I look over at him “I didn’t think it could be like that”

“You asked for spectacular,” he says, his breath grazing across my skin

“You delivered” I reach over and run h his hair “It was spectacular”

I s his back until he catches his breath “You’re pretty spectacular yourself”

Night arrived before we had a chance to say goodbye to the day Finding s it to his lips and looksin through the door, it would be so easy to fall asleep in his arms And I almost do until I hear him say, “You’re spectacular”

If there’s one thing I’ve always loved about Rad, it’s hisfor the sake of appeasement I know they’re not just words to him

They’re his truth, which becomes iven me that power

Sliding ontoover his and rest my head on his chest

His heart is beating fast and strong, and I begin to fall—floating in this bliss, finding sleep, and into love
