“Yes,” I gasped. “Yes!”
The orgasm crested and then exploded, down my thighs, up my back, and all over inside. I stilled, letting it ride out, as they kept entering me again and again, the sensation making my eyes roll into the back of my head.
Michael.
Holy shit. I would never fight him again when he wanted to go in that way. That was the best orgasm I’d ever had.
Michael thrust into me a few more times and then dug his fingers into my hips, stinging the skin, as he came.
“Fuck,” he choked out, gasping for breath and sinking his weight onto me as he dropped his forehead to my shoulder. “Jesus.”
But then Kai pulled me away, and I winced at the burn of Michael leaving my body. He laid me down on the tile bench, lifted up my knee, spreading my legs, and thrust his cock inside me, entering me again.
I arched my back, moaning.
He laid down on top of me, plastering his body to mine and wrapping an arm around the top my head as he covered my mouth with his.
He fucked hard and fast like he was possessed, and I couldn’t even look up to see where Michael was, because Kai had taken me over.
I felt his moan in my mouth as he thrust harder and harder and then jerked, his whole body tensing and his skin burning up as he came, filling the room with a loud groan.
I held his back, continuing to kiss his still lips as he tried to catch his breath.
“Holy shit,” he panted. “That was better than anything I remember.”
After a few moments, he slowly pushed himself up, sliding out of me, and sat back.
“Are you okay?” He looked at me with concern.
I closed my legs and turned my head, seeing Michael sitting in a tiled seat off to the right, leaning his elbows on his knees, watching us.
I nodded.
Bending up my legs, I gazed up at the smoky ceiling, feeling warm, blissfully exhausted, and satisfied.
Kai got up and disposed of the condom in the trash right outside the door and grabbed his towel off the floor, wrapping it around him as he came to sit next to me.
We all just sat there for few minutes, letting our hearts calm down.
My body was floating like a balloon, and I felt my cheeks warm again, thinking about what had just happened. My heart pumped, and there were still butterflies in my stomach.
What would people think if they saw us now?
Alex would be proud. She’d want in.
Trevor would call me a whore.
My mother would have a drink, and Mrs. Crist would blow it off like she’d just walked into a pillow fight.
But a calm washed over me when I realized that the only opinion I cared about was the one that never made me feel shame. The one that always pushed me to take what I wanted, and the one that only ever asked that I never quit on him.
Never tap out.
With anyone else—at any other time—I might be scared that our relationship was in danger, or that he would feel threatened by Kai, but Michael knew where my heart was. He didn’t doubt me.
He doubted himself.
Kai finally stood up, turning around to stand over me. His eyes were heated, and a smile danced across his face. He looked young again.
“Aren’t you worried?” he said, glancing to Michael. “I could try to take her from you.”
“You could try,” Michael shot back.
And Kai smiled, leaning down and kissing my lips softly.
“Your dick’s working now,” Michael warned behind him. “Go find someone else.”
I heard Kai snort and his mouth shake on mine as he laughed. Pulling his lips away, he looked down at me with calm and a new confidence. “I have no words,” he said. “Just ‘thank you.’”
He turned and walked through the frosted door and into the locker room.
Michael and I sat in silence for a few moments, and I heard voices outside, suddenly remembering that we’d been caught before. Someone might’ve gone to get security.
Sitting up, I swung my legs over the bench and stood, my legs shaking and my body aching from what we’d just done. I could feel Michael’s eyes on me as I walked to my clothes on the floor.
“You know,” I started, slipping on my pants. “I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love you.”
I didn’t look at him but kept going, slipping on my jacket and grabbing my shoes and socks, sitting down on the bench to put them on.
“When you look at me,” I continued, “when you touch me, when you’re inside me, I’m completely in love with my life, Michael. I never want to be anywhere else.”
I finished pulling on my socks and shoes, bending down to tie them.
When I was done, I sat up straight and looked at him. “Will you ever feel that for me?” I asked. “Will you ever need me or fear losing me?”
Kai had made me feel good. He’d needed me. Been grateful for me.
Michael held my eyes, nothing but a dead calm in his depths, and I couldn’t tell what was happening inside of him.
“Will you ever let yourself be vulnerable?” I pressed.
And when he just sat there, not answering, I finally got up and walked toward the door.
“I’ll meet you outside.”

“WE SHOULD STUDY TONIGHT,” Alex said as we walked down the sidewalk, having just left class. “I’ve got this great technique where I let myself eat a Skittle every time I get the right answer.”
I let out a weak laugh, shaking my head at her. “But they’re essay questions.”
“Shit,” she grumbled. “That’s worth at least a snack size bag per question, then.”
