“If you…ever do leave…it can’t be with me” His voice is hoarse and low His hand fists in the air atop his bare abs “I would fuck it up And you would hate me”

“You’d hate me,” he says, “and I couldn’t stand to hurt you” His voice cracks on the last word as I lean down and suck his tip into my mouth

“I don’t think you’d hurt me”
