Assassin's Haiku (11 page)

Diego thrust twice more, his rhythm frantic and unruly, before shouting his own release, his cum filling her, his cock pulsing inside her. He collapsed, his weight flattening her. He was too heavy, and her body was too sensitive. When Haiku whimpered a protest, Diego rolled with her.

She lay on top of him, her mind filled with light and color and words. “Diego—” Haiku smiled as he handed her the black marker. He knew her so well. She scanned his tanned physique. There was a poem on his flat stomach, and one on each pec. He was her living notebook. She searched lower for blank skin and printed her new work on one muscled thigh.

Haiku and Diego

On a jet bike fit for two

Ride love forever

“My turn.”

Diego held out his hand, and she gave him the marker. Haiku watched, curious as he uncapped it, as she’d never seen him write anything before. He was a man of action, not words.

Diego turned her onto her back, so that she looked up at him, her breasts bare, her legs open, her chafed ass rubbing against the soothing cotton sheets. He pressed the cool marker tip against her stomach; his face was grim and serious as he wrote. She waited until he was finished before reading his words.

Diego loves Haiku.

Always.

She blinked rapidly, overcome with emotion. His message wasn’t a haiku, yet it was poetry to her ears. He loved her so much, he’d put it in writing. “I love you too, Diego.” Haiku cupped his face between her hands and brushed her lips against his, her touch tender and full of meaning. “Always.” She pushed his dark hair back to kiss his forehead.

“Yeah.” He smiled slowly. There was warmth in his flat black eyes. “Always.”
