you're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling
Of course he’s ready. He’s expecting it, he’s braced agaisnt the feeing of it and it still makes him so weak that every muscle in him trembles and aches and burns in the sweetest way. It’s absolutely the bare minimum, and it is delicious. Less than a week passed and this is coming home, this is the taste of an addiction he’d tried to put down and still come back to.
Some small broken sound creaks out of Nate’s throat, pain and elation all at the same time. Ek het jou lief, he thinks, I love you, he thinks at the same time, over and under the Ti amo, every language he knows blurring together into a single overwhelming emotion. Nate can’t even believe it can fit through the bond, doesn’t think either one of them could hold it alone. It’s why they have each other, isn’t it?

& you're trembling and he reaches over
and touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist
NATE
