Black Swan Affair

by K.L. Kreig

I love you, Kael.” Instead of saying it back, he says, “And I’ll never take that gift for granted, Maverick. Not ever. You know you’ve given me everything I’ve always wanted, don’t you?”

“While he was the sun that lit your world, you were the darkness that shadowed mine.”

“I’m going to make love to you slowly, Small Fry. I’ve waited too long to take you like it’s a meaningless act. This means more to me than you can possibly know. I’m going to worship your body, love your heart, own your soul, and make sure you remember this night for the rest of your life.”

“I love you, Kael. There just is no me without you. There never has been,” she whispers against my wet mouth. “I realized that the one person who has always, without fail, been there for me is you. And the thought of not having that—of not having you beside me every day—killed something inside of me.”

“I thought Killian’s love defined me, but your love changed me forever. I’m so sorry it took me so long to figure that out.”
