"Jed?"
The worked up alpha jolted at the sound of his name on those plump, pink lips. "Yeah?" He grumbled.
"Do you..." Parker went quiet, and Jed glanced down at him, but he was still looking at the movie with his lip between his teeth.
"Do I what?" Jed asked.
"Nevermind, it's stupid."
Jed groaned. "If you're going to start a sentence, fucking finish it. You know I hate it when you do that."
Parker laughed. "I remember." He traced patterns on Jed's slacks with his finger before it traveled up and ran over Jed's cock. The alpha stiffened under his touch. "Do you want to fuck me?"
Jedidiah was at a loss for words. Did he really just ask me that? It was surreal, but when he looked at Parker, he saw no hint of a grin as if he was just joking around. Instead, he saw nervousness on his face. Could Parker actually be serious?
"Why would you think that?" He asked, still trying to distance himself in case Parker chuckled and shattered the growing hope in his stomach.
"Mostly because your dick is hard as a rock and in my face, and you haven't pulled away. That, and I heard you earlier," Parker mumbled, "when you were in the bathroom and you said my name."
Jed's cock twitched hard. He should have been worried that Parker had heard that and what it would mean for their friendship, but instead, he was incredibly turned on. Parker hadn't yelled at him; he hadn't told him to leave. Obviously, it wasn't too bad if the man was still there, lying on his lap.
"I didn't know you heard that," Jed mumbled, his face hot at the realization.
Parker’s finger trailed back down his aching cock before he shifted slightly and Jed’s zipper slid down slowly. He sucked in a breath, his body buzzing as his best friend kissed the head of his dick through his straining boxers. His heated breath only made things so much better, and Jed thrust upward on instinct as his instincts took over and the urge to rut grew stronger.
“I didn’t actually mind,” Parker breathed between lavishing him with kisses. “I wanted you to come back into my room and climb on top of me.”
Fuck. If he keeps talking like this I’m not going to be able to use my head. Or at least not the right one.
Jed sucked in a deep breath and tried to control himself. “Are you sure about this?” He asked as his hand pressed to the back of Parker’s neck and held him in place so he couldn’t continue to tease him. “We’ve been friends forever. I don’t want things to get fucked up.”
“They won’t,” Parker’s voice pleaded as his hand trailed over Jed’s leg. “I want this.”
What can go wrong? At least we know each other. The attraction between them was magnetic and one night wouldn’t be such a horrible idea. In the end, they would still be friends and they could enjoy each other.
“Okay.” Jed finally released his hand from Parker’s neck. “I want this too.”
Parker wasted no time. He slipped from the couch and gazed up at Jedidiah with burning hazel eyes as he gripped the edge of his boxers and slowly slipped them down. When his cock popped free from the dark material, Parker took in the sight of him and gently reached up to trace his fingers over his hardened flesh.
“I haven’t seen you naked in so long,” he said as his fingers squeezed over his flesh. He rubbed his thumb over Jed’s slit and grinned when a string of precum stretched from his head to his finger. “I forgot how hot your dick is.”
Jed swallowed thickly. “You thought my dick was hot?”
Parker blinked and glanced up as if he didn’t even know what had just come out of his mouth. “Ages ago,” he admitted sheepishly. “I used to wonder what it would feel like.”
“Shit,” Jed shook his head. “I never thought you paid that kind of attention,” he said as he reached forward and pushed his fingers into Parker’s hair.
“How could I not? It’s beautiful,” Parker mumbled as he got lost once more. He leaned forward and swiped his tongue over the head before he swallowed hard. “And you taste good. Of course you do,” he chuckled.
Parker looked perfectly content as he explored Jed’s cock with his eager tongue. He took his time, exploring, lavishing, damn near worshipping his dick in passionate licks and heated kisses. Parker’s mouth opened and he slipped Jed inside before he hummed, sending vibrations up and down the alpha’s flesh.
“Shit,” Jed groaned, his hips rising as his head fell back against the couch. His grip tightened in Parker’s hair as he felt his tongue swirl around his leaking cock. “Keep going. Take every inch for me.”
A vibration caressed his cock as Parker moaned around it. He did as he was told and slowly slid down Jed’s length as inch by inch filled his mouth. Jed raised his head and watched him until his nose was pressed against the expanse of hair on his groin. He swallowed hard and his throat tightened making Jed groan hard as their eyes met. There was wetness in Parker’s eyes as he tried to stay down before he came up gasping for air.
“Like that?” He panted as he wiped his mouth and gave Jed his devilish grin.
“Fuck yes,” Jed breathed and gripped the back of his neck. He yanked Parker forward and pressed his cock to his lips. Automatically, Parker opened up and accepted it before he pushed himself further and further down once more. “Just like that.”
Parker stayed down until he had to come up for air again. His cheeks sucked in and he bounced his head up and down as Jed watched him desperately opening his pants. As soon as he’d worked his own cock free, he stroked himself, and his moans became so intense that the alpha couldn’t take another minute without burying his cock inside of him.
“Up,” Jed growled as he pulled Parker free and then panted, “Get upstairs so I can fuck you right.”
There wasn’t even an answer. Parker simply slipped out of his pants and left them behind. He gripped Jed’s hand and tossed a seductive look over his shoulder as he led him to the stairs and they climbed them to his bedroom. As soon as they were inside, Jed tugged him back and forced his lips against Parker’s.
The beta melted, his hands gripping Jed’s shirt before he yanked it up. They pulled apart only long enough for the shirt to be discarded before their lips crashed together once more. Heat built as their kiss became more wild and passionate. Their clothes left a trail to the bed, and by the time they reached it, both of them were completely naked. Jed pushed a hand against Parker’s chest and he fell into bed with a laugh.
Jed climbed on top of him and pressed against him. The hardness of Parker’s cock pressed against his abdomen and it twitched as he kissed him. When he pulled away, Parker pointed to the nightstand.
“Lube,” he panted. “I feel like I’m going to explode.” He released his legs that he’d wrapped around Jed’s hips and laid back.
Jed tugged the drawer open and found the bottle. He made short work of slathering it on his cock before he poured some onto his fingers. His hand pushed Parker’s long legs apart, and he pressed a finger against his tight hole. He watched as his friend bit his lip in anticipation and stroked a hand over his own cock. Slowly, Jed slid the finger inside of him and he groaned.
“Fuck,” he muttered as his hand slid up and down himself more. “I can take more than that. Don’t hold back.”
“I don’t think you have any idea what you’re saying,” Jed said as he slipped another finger inside and spread them to open him up. “You don’t know how I really am.”
Parker raised a brow. “And you clearly don’t know how I really am. You’re not going to fucking break me, so”—he leaned up and gripped Jed’s arm tightly—“Don’t. Hold. Back.”
The challenge in his eyes was enough to let Jed’s wolf free as much as it gave him permission to be himself. Another finger spread Parker more, and he pushed his lips against his. When he pulled back, Parker’s bottom lip stayed between his teeth, and the beta moaned until he was finally released.
“Remember you said that,” Jed said as fingers slipped free. He turned him over easily and only used one hand to yank Parker up onto h
is knees. Every wolf instinct was on full display; the need to rut, bite, fill. “Keep your hips up,” he ordered and stuffed a pillow underneath Parker just to be sure he stayed there.
At least I can bite him and I don't have to worry about marking him. Parker being human did have some upsides. Along with the fact that he couldn’t possibly get pregnant from a wolf. Jed had never heard of that happening, and his head was far from being logical at that moment.
His cock pressed against Parker and slowly he sank inside until he was buried to the hilt. Underneath his grip, his friend squirmed and gasped as he was filled and stretched. Jed held himself there for a minute, giving him some time to adjust until Parker pushed back and moaned.
“Fuck me,” Parker said as he reached back and spread himself for Jed. “God, I need to feel you fucking me.”
Any sense of self control that Jed held before snapped. He pulled his length almost completely free before he thrust back inside. Parker’s velvet walls hugged his cock as the man gasped and hugged the pillow his head rested on. His legs trembled and he glanced back at Jed with eyes that didn’t quite focus.
Jed knew he wasn’t all there either. His animal side took over and he rutted into Parker relentlessly as his fingers ran over pebbled nipples which he squeezed between his fingertips. His hips slapped against Parkers ass and his creamy skin turned red from the constant contact.
His fingers pushed into Parker’s hair while his other arm wrapped around his lean torso. A gasp fell from Parker’s lips and he groaned as his back was pushed flush against Jed’s body. An arm reached up and wrapped around the back of Jed’s neck as he held onto him the best he could while the alpha growled against his ear.
“You’re so fucking tight it’s driving me crazy,” he said as he licked the shell of Parker’s ear.
“Jed,” he groaned. “I can’t take it anymore. I can’t,” he shook his head back and forth.
The alpha buried his nose against his throat and took in his scent. It was more muted than that of an omega’s, but to his nose it was sweet. His tongue ran over the juncture of his shoulder and neck and his teeth followed.
Jed sank his fangs into Parker’s throat, and his friend trembled against him. The second he tasted the mark he’d created, the realization that he’d done more than just bite Parker slammed into him. The bond grew and snapped into place between them. He could feel the intense pleasure that flooded his friend’s body and the desire to feel even more.
Parker was released and fell back to his knees as his moans flowed continuously. Jed gripped his hips and thrust until he felt his knot swelling. It locked them together, his cock pulsed, and he jutted forward as Parker’s trembling grew and he came hard yelling Jed’s name and thrashing his head back and forth.
Never had it felt so incredible. Jed’s eyes closed and he latched onto the same mark as he leaned over Parker’s body and filled him with load after load of his cum. By the time he removed his teeth he glanced down and Parker snored.
“Parker?” He whispered.
He mumbled something and promptly fell right back to sleep. Jed knew he’d felt the blinding pleasure that came when being marked. He’d felt it, too, but it was definitely a little too much for a human. His sensensitive knot locked them in place, and he had no choice but to lay there while he tried to force his brain to think straight again.
Chapter Six
Jed
Jedediah couldn't believe what he had done. One minute, it was just innocent talk about a one-night stand, and the next, he had marked Parker and claimed him for his own. It was unheard of to mark a human—and a beta at that.
I need to go for a fucking run. Jed couldn't face going back into the bedroom to grab his clothes and explain to Parker what just happened. He was sure he would have a million questions about what just happened. There was no way that he hadn't felt something strange when their bond solidified and they were leashed to each other. From his reaction, he also hadn't missed the fact that Jed had knotted him.
He had been so sure that it wasn't possible to knot a human that the full reality only set in afterward. Jay took one look at that bedroom with the warm light flowing out and a cock dazed Parker still in bed and he bolted.
As soon as he was out the front door, fur shot out and covered his skin. His bones snapped and reshaped until he was a large wolf. Jed's paws dug into the Earth and wet dirt shifted beneath them before he shot into the night. The wind-whipped at his muzzle, but he ignored it as he ran for safety.
There has to be some kind of explanation. I've never heard of a human being mated to a wolf. Maybe that's not what happened, maybe I imagined it all. Gods, I really hope I imagined it all.
The moment Jed reached home, he shifted back into a human and burst through the door. Mumbling to himself, he yanked on the faucet before he shoved his mouth into the cool water and then splashed more on his face. When he came up for air, his chest heaving, he turned and froze.
Declan set at the table with Colten and stared as Payton cracked up laughing and Pryce covered his eyes. Nathan burst out laughing, and Emmett whacked his hand trying to get him to stop. Jed stared between all of them before he cleared his throat.
"What the hell are you guys doing here?"
"Well, we came over to have dinner and dessert, and we were just about to go back home before you burst through the door naked as all hell," Declan said before he shook his head. "Just one question. Why?"
It wasn't as if they weren't used to seeing each other naked. Shifters were notorious for losing their clothes and being around their pack without them. One thing that wasn't so normal was the fact that both of his brothers now had partners, and he had never been naked around them before. Slowly, he grabbed a pot holder from the counter and slid it down in front of his flaccid cock.
"Uncle Jed is naked! Eww," Payton snorted and almost choked on a piece of cake.
Colton patted her back. "Okay, okay. Leave your uncle alone. Why don't you and Pryce go and play in the living room with Grandma and Grandpa? Go on, Aiden's already with them."
“Okay, daddy,” Pryce chimed in as he was let down and took off for the living room with a cackling Payton on his heels. As soon as they were out of the room, the four remaining men stared at Jed until his face turned a deep, dark red.
“Oh shit.” Nathan stared and blinked. “Something’s really up. Jed just blushed. He never does that!”
“What the hell happened?” Declan asked as he narrowed his eyes.
“I-I might have had a little fuck up,” Jed mumbled before he quickly sat at the table to hide his naked body. “I think I might have...marked someone.”
Declan and Nathan’s shoulders sagged as they sighed together in relief . Colt and Emmett looked completely confused. Emmett leaned forward on his hands and tilted his head at Jed.
“Why would that be a bad thing? If you found someone that you like being around and you love him, isn’t that great?”
Jed fidgeted with his fingers. How could he tell them the truth of it without seeming like a complete and total douchebag? He glanced up and all eyes were on him, confused, as they waited for his response.
“The problem is that I did it without us talking about it—like at all. And on top of that, I don’t think he has any idea that we’re mated. Or, at least, he probably doesn’t know what it means.”
Declan furrowed his brow. “How could he not know?”
“He uh... he isn’t...”
Jed was at a loss for words. Never in his life had he been speechless twice in one day or the type that couldn’t string together a sentence, but something about Parker made him insane. He scratched at his beard and stared up at the ceiling as if that would provide the answers.
I can’t tell them that he’s human.
The thought struck suddenly but rang true. How the hell could he possibly tell his brothers that he had not only marked someone who had no idea what was going on, but that he was also a human. Jed still couldn't think of a time where a human
had been allowed into their pack. Hell, into any pack.
As loving and accepting as his family was, there were always boundaries. Mating a human was a major one. They all had human friends and coworkers, but it was always understood that humans were off limits. They wouldn't understand what it was to be a wolf—to be a pack—and all that would do is bring danger to them. No one needed to be outed to the world.
"I need to take a shower," Jed said quickly as he turned on his heels and made a beeline for the stairs.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't just start a conversation like that and then turn around and leave. What the fuck are you hiding?" Nathan asked as he went after his younger brother.
"It's like I said. I think I marked someone, and I just...I want to be on my own."
"First of all, what do you mean ‘might have?’" Declan asked as he stood up joining them near the stairwell. "Either you did or you didn't. So which one is it?"
They really were not going to let it go, and Jed was out of answers. In the back of his mind, he knew that if just confronting his brothers was this bad, it was going to be ten times worse when he had to explain all of this to Parker. . However, he knew that the human had absolutely no idea what the bond solidifying between them and tying them together for the rest of their lives meant for wolves. It was one thing to be mated as a human; it was an entirely different things to be mated as pack.
And how would Parker even take it? As much as he loved Parker... Yes, love was the right word because no matter how much he tried to deny it, he knew he was completely and totally in love with Parker. As much as he loved Parker, he knew that his friend was a wild cannon. The man looked out for himself and hardly anyone else, especially lately. Whether that was his true self or was all bravado didn't matter. Parker did not have the pack attitude, and it would only cause even more problems between Jed and his family. Jedediah did not want to leave them, but he also didn't want to be sent away because he had broken pack rules.
