.“Make me come, Ru,” Elijah begged into Ruben’s mouth.He reached between them, curling his fingers around Elijah’s cock, and then started stroking it, matching his thrusts.Moments later, Elijah’s back arched as he cried out into Ruben’s mouth.Ruben growled as he fucked Elijah harder, wanting his own release.He stiffened and shouted as his seed was pulled from his body, exploding into Elijah’s ass.Spots danced in front of Ruben’s eyes as he collapsed down on top of Elijah.“My Eli,” he whispered as he stroked his hand over Elijah’s chest.Elijah patted his arm, but Ruben felt the man’s body stiffen under his.He tilted his head back and looked up into Elijah’s blue eyes, not missing the quick way they darted away.“You’re mine now, Eli, and I’m not letting you go.”“I—I meant what I said, Ru.I’m not like you.I can’t—”“Ssshhh.” Ruben reached up and pressed his finger across Elijah’s lips.“We’ll work you into it slowly.”“Ru—”“I’m not giving you up, Elijah, even if I have to fight you to keep you.”Elijah’s forehead wrinkled as he frowned.“Well, that doesn’t make sense.”Ruben chuckled.“Sure it does.” Ruben scooted up until he could lean over Elijah.He stroked his hand down the side of the stubble on the man’s cheek.“I listened to you three years ago, and I went away like you asked, but—”All of the color drained from Elijah’s face as he stared up at Ruben in horror.“You left Cade Creek because of me?” he whispered.“I knew if I stayed that I wouldn’t be able to stay away from you, and that’s what you seemed to need at the time.”“Oh, Ru, I—I—” Elijah’s eyes started to gleam in the low morning light as they filled with tears.“I never—”“Elijah, it’s okay.I was upset when it happened, but I understand why you did it.I needed time to grow up, and you needed time to understand that you belong to me.” Ruben chuckled when Elijah’s eyes bugged.“You do belong to me, sweetheart, and I’m not giving you up.You need to accept that.”“What if I said no?”“I wouldn’t believe you.”“Why not?”“Because you were the one that begged me to come home with you last night.”Elijah’s mouth opened and closed several times like a guppy, then snapped shut.His eyebrows drew down even more as he frowned.“That didn’t mean anything.I was drunk.”“Why are you fighting this so hard, Eli? You want me.You know you do.Proof of that is poking me in the stomach even as we speak.” Ruben grinned when Elijah’s face flushed and he quickly glanced away.He grabbed Elijah’s chin and pulled his face back so he could see Elijah’s expressive blue eyes.“And I want you, sweetheart.” Elijah inhaled sharply.“What happened to that sweet, innocent boy that I knew?”“I had to grow up fast.” Ruben leaned down and gently kissed Elijah.The man seemed to need the extra care right now.Elijah was swimming in doubts.Ruben was not.He knew exactly what he wanted, and he was lying in Ruben’s arms right now.“I’m still sweet, but I can’t help you with the innocent part.You just took that.” Elijah pushed him away and scooted up the bed so fast that Ruben didn’t have time to stop him.When Ruben sat up, Elijah was leaning back against the headboard, the sheet clutched in his white-knuckled hands.“Elijah?”“Don’t lie to me, Ruben.If you want to fuck me, fine, but don’t lie to me.”“I’m not lying to you, sweetheart.I swear.”“You have a child!” Elijah snapped.“And I sure as shit know I didn’t get you pregnant in the last half hour.”“No, Alani came about from witnessing too much violence and too much sorrow.I needed to be close to someone, and so did Mahra.It just kind of happened after too many bottles of whiskey.But she was the only one, and it only happened that one time.”“But you married her,” Elijah protested.“Yes, I did, but I did it to get Alani.” Ruben sighed deeply at the confused look on Elijah’s face.He sat forward and grabbed Elijah’s hand between his.He knew Elijah needed a little bit of space at the moment, but he needed some sort of contact.“The marriage was never meant to be permanent, Elijah.We had divorce papers drawn up right after Alani was born.We just hadn’t had a chance to file them before Mahra was killed.”“She was killed?”Ruben swallowed and looked down to where their hands were clasped together.“We were working as aid workers at a refugee camp in North Africa.Our caravan was attacked, and Mahra was killed.”“North Africa!” Elijah shouted as his face darkened.“Do you know how dangerous that is? There’s a war going on up there.Are you out of your fucking mind?”“So you do care then?” Ruben was amused by how pissed off Elijah was becoming.“Of course I care,” Elijah snapped.“I lo—” Ruben arched an eyebrow when Elijah’s face flushed and he looked away, pressing his lips together.He wanted to shout to the heavens with joy, but that in no way would prove to Elijah that he had grown up
