Later, if he thought about it, Eddie wouldn’t have been able to say if it was the sight or the sound or the feel of her that set him off, but watching her get lost to the feelings between them was something he couldn’t help but succumb to. It only took a few more hard thrusts of his hips into hers to set him off after her. His hand moved from the front of her neck to the back, tugging her close so he could muffle his own moans in her shoulder. He bit down there again, less harshly and less intentionally than before but still holding her skin between his teeth as he shook through the aftershocks.
In another lifetime he would have had a panic attack right about then, somewhere between trying to catch his breath and actually opening his eyes again. Possibly about how willing he had been to hold her throat with such little provocation, possibly about how they hadn’t used a condom, or the age difference, or whatever else his mind would have supplied. And he still likely would have to deal with those thoughts later. But now, his mind was blissfully clear of them, only thinking enough to wrap Audrey up in his arms gently, holding her to his chest while their breathing returned to normal and the expansive room around them went quiet again.
