Luke pushes into ently at first I curl my hands around his hips and look up at him in a way I hope conveys what I want him to do I don’t want him to think or censor himself, either

"You want me to--" he starts to ask, and I ive hirip hi hirazes occasionally against my teeth Those moers pressed against my jaw and my skull as he pushes himself in and out of my mouth

"London, yes--oh, God, perfect," he says, words stuttered out between shaky breaths He braces one hand on the headboard just overto last" His ass flexes beneathto be over soon "No Fuck Coasps, and tries to pull away "London, hten ue Up to this point he’s been so careful not to go too far but I hear hi as I s around hireedy as he pullsmy chin, my mouth, and my nose I look up to see that his eyes are closed, lashes curled against flushed cheeks My jaw aches andso hard he has to be able to feel it

"I’m not sure what the rules are," he says, and pulls aside my shirt so he can bend and tasteI can do out there" He motions back over his shoulder, but I know he means outside his bedroom, out in the real world "Because I can think of only two things that would s? What are they?"
