He woke before I did. He always does after a night like that.
I stayed still, eyes closed, letting him believe I was still asleep. I like the way he hovers on the edge—unsure whether to move, unsure whether he’s allowed to touch. That moment of restraint is better than any alarm clock.
Eventually, I shifted—just slightly—and that was all he needed. He leaned in and nuzzled the curve of my hip, then lower, then back up again, slow and steady. I kept my eyes closed. I don’t need to look at him to feel everything.
He knows the routine. His hands stayed behind his back. No wandering. Just lips and breath and quiet devotion.
When he reached the swell of my breast, he paused—waiting. I didn’t say a word, but I tilted toward him, just enough.
He latched on like he’d been starved for it. No urgency, no begging. Just warm, rhythmic suckling, the kind that makes time slip away. I let him stay like that, nestled against me, feeding off the skin I let him have. It’s not always about denial. Sometimes it’s about letting him fill himself with something he can’t get anywhere else.
His breathing slowed. His whole body softened.
That’s the difference between us. He melts. I stay steel.
But I stroked his hair, just once, and whispered, “Good boy.”
That’ll carry him through the rest of the week.
