He turned over and buried his face in my chest. I held him as sobs racked his body. When he was all cried out, I kissed the top of his head and turned onto my back so he could be more comfortable using me as a pillow.
He started to move, but I pulled him back to me. “Stay here. I don’t want to let you go.”
“You still… You don’t think I’m too fucked up for…”
“I think you are exactly what I need.”
He rose up enough to look at me then, and I couldn’t stop myself from kissing him.
His response was tentative at first, but after a moment, he grew more aggressive, pushing his tongue into my mouth and rolling to let his weight push me into the mattress.
“That’s it.” I mumbled against his lips as I opened my legs, letting him fit more tightly against me. I wrapped my legs around him, showing him just how close I wanted him.
When he pulled back and looked at me, his eyes were dark, and he looked as dangerous as he had the night when I’d been ready to break into his cabin.
“Don’t stop.” I insisted. “Take back control. You’re free now. You can be anyone you want to be. The man you were, someone completely new. It’s all up to you. Right now, you can just be the man who claims me. I want to be yours, Blade. Please.”
By the time I finished speaking, he was nodding in agreement with me.
“I want you. I want to be in control. I want you to surrender to me. You’re mine. That’s what I want. I want you to be mine.”
I lifted my head enough to take his lips again, but he wouldn’t let me. He seized my hands and dragged them above my head.
“Yes. Take charge of me. I broke into your house. I brought you all kinds of trouble.”
“I’m thankful for that every day.”
I grinned. “Do you think you can show me how much?”

My breath caught at his words. He knew I’d respond to him challenging me. “I’m going to fuck you until you can’t think of anything but me.”
He whimpered as he worked his hips against mine, pushing our cocks together. I sat back, refusing to give him the friction he wanted. He was offering me control, and after being so vulnerable, after letting myself travel back to the hell I’d gone through, that was exactly what I needed. He was exactly what I needed.
I wasn’t going to go easy on him. I was going to take charge and give him what he really craved. I released his hands and sat back on my knees.
“Don’t stop.” His voice was slow and soft. I could tell he was worried this was all too much for me.
“I’m not going to stop. Put your hands above your head and don’t move. I’m getting the lube.” It felt good to focus on pleasure, to take us back to that first night, to be in control and yet to know that he wanted this as badly as I did.
I rummaged in my bag, letting my belongings spill out onto the floor. Finally, I found what I needed and climbed back onto the bed.
Carlo watched me intently. “I want to see you. All of you. I admire you for everything you’ve survived, and I’m so thankful that you lived through it all and that you’re here with me. Your scars are part of you, and I want to see them.”
I tossed the lube onto the bed, pulled my shirt up over my head, and tossed it to the floor. It was the first time I’d gone shirtless in front of anyone without being self-conscious. The first time I’d let Carlo see me, I’d been so afraid he’d reject me or that he’d ask too many questions. Now he knew the whole story, or at least enough of it to understand, and he still wanted to see me. I no longer worried. I rose up so I could shove my pants down over my hips, then work them off my legs.
My hands went to the fastening of Carlo’s pants. I stripped him quickly and efficiently. He tried to help, but I pushed his hands out of the way. He was so worked up, so needy, he was completely unable to focus.
When he was fully naked, I stretched out over him again. “You’re mine. I don’t know what’s going to happen tonight. I don’t know what’s going to happen after this is over, but whatever it is, I want to be with you.”
Carlo nodded slowly. “I want that too. I want that more than anything.”
“Good. Now put your hands over your head, hold on to the pillow, and don’t let go. All you get to do is lie there and let me play with you.”
