She stroked me and tongued me at the same time, owning my dick with every move. My balance slipped then when she made sure I was right at the edge, she let go of my dick, frustrating the hell out of me, before lining me up with her pussy and sinking down on me. That’s when she managed to snatch my soul. She didn’t give me a second to breathe, riding me fast, no mercy, dragging every sound of pleasure out of my mouth.

“Fuck!! Serenity… Serenity. Slow down, baby… I’m gonna cum too fast… fuck.”

I was fighting for my life to keep it together. I didn’t want this to end. I didn’t want to stop. I wanted to stay inside her forever. I wanted to die inside her and never come back but she had other plans for me.

One hand dragged over my chest while she kept riding me wildly, making me lose every bit of control. Then with her other hand, she did something I never saw coming... she ripped off her mask and let me see all of her. I watched her, taking in every detail—her eyes, her face, those lips, the way her brows pulled tight when I was buried deep, that little frown when she rode me hard. Fuck, I couldn’t resist her.

“Oh fuck… I’m—” I didn’t even finish the words, caught off guard.

My hands locked on her waist, holding her down while I drove as deep as I could, coming hard inside her. I couldn’t hold back after she caught me off guard.

“You… You took off your mask,” I said, still spilling inside her pussy.

“Yeah…” she moaned. “I wanted you to see me, at least once.”

My heart pounded so hard it hurt. I finished, hips dropping to the mattress, but my hands stayed on her waist. My fingers dug deep into her flesh, not ready to let her go. I wanted to take my mask off too, something I couldn’t undo, but I wasn’t ready. I knew the second I did, this thing we’d had for the last month would be over.

“You’re so beautiful, Serenity. I just want you to remember I’m crazy about you. No matter what happens. And… I’m sorry,” I said.

Taking a deep breath, I finally lifted my hand to my face, ready to take off my mask. Just as I was about to pull it away, Serenity stopped me.

“No.”

I froze, staring at her, eyes questioning.

“I thought… Don’t you want me to take off my mask too? Now that I’ve seen your face?”

“No…” she answered softly.

Then she leaned down and kissed me—a long, deep, and feverish kiss, so intense I felt it shoot through me.

“Please, don’t take off your mask. If you do, the whole illusion I’ve built about Konflict will fall apart. I’m sorry for using you to give myself a little time with my husband. But please, let me have this. Let me keep dreaming until the very last second.”

Relief hit so hard it shook me back to life. I wasn’t ready to lose her—not tonight. I just needed to hold on to the last few minuteswe had before I ruined it all.

I crashed my lips to hers and kissed my wife fiercely, hungrily, hearts pounding hard enough to drown out everything else. We only broke apart when breathing became impossible.

Pulling Serenity down, her head pressed to my chest, our bodies slick with sweat. My dick was going soft inside her as we stayed there in silence. Our hearts were racing, breath steadying together, sharing everything that words couldn’t touch. I was fucking in love with her.

I didn’t know how much time passed, but Serenity was the brave one who finally broke the moment.

“You have to go, Knox. We don’t have much time left.”

When she called me Knox, I knew our bubble had burst and it was time to leave.

She slipped off my body and got out of bed. I got up too, then, we walked to the bathroom to shower together.

I washed every inch of her gently, and she did the same for me. We didn’t speak in the shower; our kisses and our eyes did all the talking, saying what words couldn’t.

Dressed again, I held her hand tight, looking into her eyes.

When I married this woman, all that rage over what her father did to my mother made me forget just how long I’d been in love with her. This last month, she reminded me every damn night what loving her feels like. Holding her close, that love kept growing until it was bigger than the anger, bigger than the past. Now I was ready to fight for her, forus, forour marriage.

Knocks came at the door and Valery’s voice rang out from the other side.

“Serenity? We have to go now.”

Serenity lifted her gaze to mine. Her gentle hands cupped my face, tears shining in her eyes as she tried to hold them back.
