Lora

My entire body spasms after the orgasm as I hold onto Justin for dear life. We have both crumpled to the floor in a tangle of naked limbs and heavy breathing. My eyesight begins to return to normal while he kisses my neck and shoulders, his fingers gently massaging my soaked slit, careful not to touch my sensitised nub.

‘I’m on the pill,’ I finally say when my senses begin to return to some kind of normal. Justin continues to kiss me without saying anything. Gentle nips and licks across my collarbone. ‘It’s just if you want to come inside of me, you can.’

I hear a growl coming from him and wonder if I’ve said the right thing.

‘Are you sure that’s what you want?’ he asks. ‘We’ve clearly crossed a line here tonight and I’m only just managing not to go full possessive caveman on you. If I come in you, you’ll be mine forever. Would you want that?’

I think about it for a moment. I’ve wanted Justin between my legs since I first met him. Having him forever means bigger stuff, bigger feelings. I know I love the man I’ve come to know, but it’s clear there’s still a lot about him I don’t know. And could he learn to love me? Could he love me forever?

These thoughts vanish from my head as he lifts his mouth back to mine and eases his hard-again cock into me. The stretch is slow this time, setting every one of my nerve endings on fire. I lean back on the floor and lift my knees, getting him as deep as possible into my slick pussy.

‘Can you do forever, Lora?’ he asks me, looking into my eyes as if the answer will be there. Maybe it is because as he withdraws, leaving just the head of his cock in my entrance, he closes his eyes. Slowly and rhythmically he works me up to the edge, grinding into me each time our bodies connect. Rocking against me as my hips meet his strokes. ‘Can you be mine for the rest of our lives?’

I can.

‘Yes,’ I say, but it comes out on a light breath as pleasure begins to take over every part of my body once again.

‘Are you sure?’ he asks as our pace becomes more frantic.

‘Yes,’ I say again, firmer as I chase the orgasm.

He grinds against me one last time and we sail over the abyss together.

Justin

We are lying on the floor of the clinic. I find myself wanting to kiss every part of her, know every part of her. I don’t want to let her go. She is so beautiful. Her affinity with the animals she helps shines through and her kindness within the community is well known. I realize that in the time we have spent working together, I’ve fallen madly in love with her. But is that enough? I loved Miranda, and that couldn’t save her. But when I think back, my love for Miranda was different. We met when we were kids and had a long-term love, that had turned into something platonic between us. The feelings I have for Lora are definitely more intense, but foreign to me.

What if it’s not enough? I know I can trust Lora with the clinic, she has proven herself a wonderful veterinary nurse. I know she has issues with her mother, but I’m not sure what they are. And I know her best friend moved in with her around a year ago.

But what about the other stuff?

I don’t get a chance to explore this as an alarm sounds.

‘Time to check the animals,’ she says, sitting up and looking around for her clothes. I watch as she pulls on her knickers and vest before going into the cupboard to fetch clean scrubs. She always changes scrubs between operations and keeps a whole stock of them here. I stand and get dressed as she leaves the room and heads through the corridor that links the clinic to the sanctuary.

‘They seem to be doing alright,’ she says as I catch up with her five minutes later. ‘Jessop is sound asleep.’

‘You can head home if you like, I’ll stay here for the rest of the night.’ She looks taken aback for a moment before she smiles and nods her head.

She checks one more bird for any signs of oil in the plumage and, after finding none, replaces it in the heated pen.

‘We’re going to need fish,’ I tell her as she leaves, and she nods her head without turning to look at me.

Something feels off, but I’ve still got twenty birds to check so I push it to the back of my mind.
