The Chosen One Universe Volume Two: An MM Paranormal Fantasy Shifters Series

by Macy Blake

Walt gave him yet another glare.

  Cody leaned into Sol— who was still really close behind him and why hadn’t he realized it before?— and then went to get utensils from the drawer. He returned to his previous spot and Sol stepped back into him. He let out a breath and cut Sophie’s pancakes into bite-sized pieces.

  Walt took another batch of pancakes off the stove and handed the plate to Sophie.

  “Order up!” she called as she beamed at Sol and held out the plate to him.

  “These look amazing. Come eat with me?”

  She chewed her lip and looked nervously at Walt. “But Uncle Walt needs me to do the sprinkles.”

  “We’re all done until the next order comes in, Chef Sophie,” Walt said. “I’m going to clean up and get ready for the next batch.”

  “Okay.”

  Walt helped her down and she skipped around the counter to the table. Walt shoved the bottle of syrup toward them before looking down at the mess. Cody took the syrup and carried it to the table where Sol was helping Sophie into a chair. Shelly came in with her hair damp from a shower and dressed in pajamas. She sidled up beside Walt, then glared down at the floor as the sprinkles pressed into her bare feet.

  “I’ll clean it up,” Walt grumbled.

  “Good. Make me some?”

  “’Course.” He kissed her forehead and she came around the table and sat down beside Sophie.

  Cody couldn’t help but sigh. They were as good together as Shaq and Drew were. He stole a glance at Sol and found Sol staring at him with hunger in his eyes. He couldn’t help but shiver in response. He ate the pancakes Walt put in front of him a few minutes later. When he finished, he started to gather the dirty dishes, but Sol put a hand on his arm.

  “Come here.” He led Cody toward the master bedroom. “We’ll clean up. Go take a shower and get some rest.”

  “I’m fi—”

  “I know you are. Just… do this for me. Please?”

  Cody searched Sol’s gaze and tried to find some answer to the thousand and one questions he had floating around in his head. “Okay.”

  Sol ran his thumb along Cody’s jaw before cupping his face in his hand. He held him that way for a moment, staring into Cody’s eyes. Then he turned and walked away.

  Cody chewed his lip as he grabbed his bag and went into the bedroom. He undressed and started the water in the shower. He stood there for a solid three minutes, staring at the water as it began to steam up the glass. Instead of stepping under the water, Cody grabbed his phone. Enough was enough. He was tired of unknowns and dancing around Sol. The whole super soldier secret was enough. He needed the HellBent one to go away.

  Goldilad: I’m getting in the shower. It’s so big. There’s room for two.

  Goldilad: Would you fuck me in the shower? Make me come all over these pretty tiles?

  Goldilad: I want you to. I want to feel you for days.

  HellBent growled at you.

  He had him.

  He set the timer on the camera and angled it on the little soap dish on the wall so Sol would see what he had to offer. His cock was already hard, just thinking about Sol finally giving in and actually touching him the way he’d promised in their chats. He let the water pour over him as he waited for the timer on the camera to click. When it did, he attached the picture.

  Goldilad: I’m waiting for you, Sol. Are you going to make me do this without you?

  Solomon

  Once Cody went into the bedroom, Solomon went outside to check on the others. When his phone began to buzz, he ignored it until he’d assured himself all was well with his pack. He took the phone out and nearly swallowed his tongue.

  Goldilad: I’m waiting for you, Sol. Are you going to make me do this without you?

  Cody knew. He’d called him by name. And was naked in Sol’s shower, waiting.

  Sol stormed inside, his body heating as his brain processed the image that had accompanied those words. Cody had angled the camera so his entire body was seen, face and all. Walt and Shelly sent him puzzled frowns as he practically ran past them. Sophie had curled up on the couch between them and didn’t pay him a second of attention, thank the goddess. He’d have probably terrified her with the look on his face.

  He shut the bedroom door and went into the bathroom. Steam filled the air, but not enough to blur the image of Cody. He’d leaned against the tile and was stroking his cock.

  “Took you long enough.”

  Sol swallowed a growl. “You knew.”

  “You aren’t that subtle. Shut the bathroom door. You’re letting cold air in.”

  Sol shut the bathroom door.

  “You…” Sol had no idea what to say. He’d been planning on telling Cody the truth anyway. It had gone further than he’d imagined, and much faster than he’d ever thought possible. With their connection deepening in real life, Sol hadn’t wanted to keep the ruse going. It had served its purpose and broken the ice, even if Cody hadn’t realized who he was at the time.

  “Take your clothes off, Sol.”

  Sol looked up and met Cody’s gaze. There was something there, a tiny bit of hurt and confusion beneath the sultry stare. Sol stripped his shirt off and unbuttoned his jeans. “If we do this, it changes everything. You get that, right? You say yes to me right now, and you’re mine. Only mine. That app goes away. No one else sees you but me. No one touches you but me.”

  Cody swallowed. “I can do that.”

  Sol kicked his boots off before he shucked his jeans. He straightened and crossed his arms over his chest. His cock filled, aching to touch Cody the way he’d been imagining. But they had a few more things to clear up, even if it meant he had to fight the urge to stop pretending and make Cody his.

  “I meant what I said. I’m not looking for a quick fuck.”

  Cody nodded.

  “I couldn’t figure out a way to tell you I wanted to bend you over the bar and fuck you senseless. Every time I spoke to you, all you heard was my frustration.”

  “Sol, you don’t have to—”

  “Yes, I do. I wanted you the first time I saw you. I was so pissed that you were hurt and scared and I wanted to hunt down that asshole you were dating and punch him right in the face. Do you get that, Cody? From day one, I wanted you.”

  Cody gulped. “You did?”

  “I did. And you weren’t ready. So I swallowed it down. And then you decided it was Shaq, not me. So I swallowed it down. I swallowed it down so much I started to choke on it.”

  Cody began trembling, and Sol finally moved forward the last few steps. He shut the shower door behind him and closed the distance between them. Cody reached for him and Sol lifted Cody’s chin, forcing Cody to meet his gaze as their bodies pressed together. The hot water poured over him, but he ignored it all. He stared into Cody’s eyes and finally let his emotions free.

  “I didn’t want to lie to you, but I didn’t know how to get over it and start fresh. And I needed a fresh start.”

  “It worked,” Cody’s words were low and husky, but the trickle of hurt and confusion had faded.

  “Yeah, it did. Too well. I had no idea how to dig myself out of the hole I found myself in, but I was going to figure it out, Cody. Because I wanted all those things we talked about, and I didn’t want them with a stranger on the phone. I wanted them with you.”

  “Sol.”

  “If you’re not serious, if you don’t want to see where this thing goes, you need to tell me now, Cody.”

  “I want this. I’m serious. I could have walked away when I figured it out, Sol. I didn’t. I don’t like that you’re keeping secrets from me. It’s scary and too real. Promise me you’ll tell me, Sol. If I have to promise I’m serious about trying, you have to promise to tell me the truth.”

  Sol breathed in. “That’s fair.”

  “You’re totally a top secret covert government operative who took a super serum and—”

  Sol leaned in and kissed him, taking the words into his mouth. Cody groaned and pushed them together,
wrapping his arms around Sol’s neck as the hot water pelted over them. He devoured Cody’s mouth, eager to taste the sweet lips he’d been dreaming about for years. A little of his anger and frustration seeped in as well. Cody tasted so damn good, and he could have been tasting him for so long. A growl threatened to slip free and he pushed it down, pulling away to let Cody gasp for breath.

  Cody looked up at him, his lips pink and swollen. “You’re mad at me.”

  Sol’s eye twitched.

  Cody grinned. “You really wanted me the whole time. I must have driven you insane.”

  Sol’s nose twitched.

  “I seem to recall a few times when I drooled over Shaq’s—”

  Sol growled and kissed him again, if only to shut him up. He pulled back when Cody laughed into his mouth.

  “Sol.”

  “Brat.”

  Cody laughed again, but his laugh faded and he looked into Sol’s eyes with an openness he’d not seen before. “I wish I’d known. I didn’t see it. I…I didn’t know, Sol.”

  “I know.”

  Sol ran his hand down Cody’s back and cupped his ass. He shivered when Cody pressed closer, his smaller body fitting into all the dips and crevices of Sol. They fit together, even if Cody hadn’t seen it and Sol had given up thinking it was possible.

  Cody moaned before he gasped Sol’s name once more.

  “I like it when you do that,” Sol grumbled. He teased his other hand down Cody’s back before gripping his ass and lifting Cody. Cody wrapped his legs around Sol’s waist and grabbed his shoulders.

  “Super strength from super serum, Sol,” Cody teased, but his eyes closed as he began moving his hips and pressing his hard length into Sol’s abs.

  “You’re not that heavy.”

  Cody scoffed. He bit his lip as his head dropped back.

  Sol couldn’t have stopped his smug grin if he tried as Cody’s hands explored his shoulders, his back, down his arms, and over his chest. Teasing touches that Cody didn’t even seem aware he was doing.

  “Open your eyes.”

  Cody lifted his head and opened his eyes. His beautiful gray blue eyes were a bit glassy. His pupils were blown. His breath was coming in short pants as his heartbeat quickened. “Sol.”

  “What do you want?”

  Cody blinked at him and dove in for another kiss. Their mouths crashed together and Sol pushed Cody against the tiled wall of the shower. He demanded entrance to Cody’s mouth, pushing his tongue inside to tease with Cody’s. He tasted pancakes and sprinkles and the pure sweetness that was all Cody.

  Sol broke away after another minute, fighting the red haze that threatened to break free. His beast was very happy with his choice. “Let me tell you what I want,” Sol said.

  Cody nodded and tucked his face into Sol’s neck. He nibbled and sucked his way up to Sol’s ear.

  “I want to get you nice and clean and opened up for me. Then I want to take you to bed. I’ll bend you over it and spread that sweet ass wide. I want to be inside you, fill you up with me. I want to fuck you, hard and fast. I won’t be able to do slow this time, Cody.”

  Cody groaned and raised his head. “Fuck, that mouth of yours! Do that, Sol. All of that.”

  Sol kissed him again, unable to resist the temptation, then put Cody down. He backed away slowly, even though Cody had him by the shoulders and didn’t seem inclined to let him go. “Stay here.”

  Cody moaned and leaned against the wall. He took his cock in his hand, but Sol grabbed his wrist. “Mine.”

  Cody whimpered and let go.

  Sol hurried out of the shower and went to grab lube from under the sink. He was back in the shower before his skin had a chance to cool. Cody’s pupils were blown and he stared hungrily at Sol as he stepped closer. “Turn around.”

  “Fuck.” Cody spun around and put his hands against the wall. He pushed his hips out and Sol couldn’t help but grin.

  “Eager boy.”

  “This eager boy is going ride you like a pony in about three point five seconds if you don’t do something.”

  Sol laughed and pushed in close. He leaned over Cody and nipped his ear. “Behave.”

  “I can’t, Sol. I swear, if you don’t do something right… oh….”

  Sol traced his fingers over Cody’s hole, effectively shutting Cody up. He reached for the body wash and squirted some into his hand. Cody shivered. “Cold?”

  “No.”

  Cody was trembling, though, his body coiled and ready. Sol reached around him and dragged his soapy hands down Cody’s chest. He stopped on his belly, felt Cody’s swift indrawn breath through the clenching of his muscles, and then traced down further until his fingers reached Cody’s cock.

  He gripped it in his hand, giving it a gentle tug, before releasing it and moving further down Cody’s body. His arms only reached the top of Cody’s thighs, and since he had no plans of letting Cody go, he simply moved up again. Over thighs and cock, belly and chest. He put his hand on Cody’s neck and gently eased him back.

  “Goddess, you’re beautiful,” Sol murmured into his ear. “Your skin is so soft. Your body fits against mine like it was made for me.”

  “It was,” Cody whimpered. He pushed back, moving his ass against Sol’s cock. “Sol, please.”

  “So impatient,” Sol grumbled.

  He pulled Cody around and let the water pour over them both, rinsing away the last of the soapy bubbles. Even though Cody protested, Sol shut off the water and grabbed a towel. He dried Cody off slowly, carefully, ignoring the grumbles. Sol dropped to one knee, Cody’s cock right in his face, and he looked up at Cody as he ran the towel down his legs.

  “And I just died,” Cody huffed. “You should be illegal.”

  “Maybe I am.” He leaned in and sucked the tip of Cody’s dick into his mouth but released it just as quickly.

  “If I murder you, they will let me go free. Torture is wrong, Sol.”

  Sol laughed and pushed to his feet. He ran the towel over his body quickly, then grabbed the lube. Before Cody could complain about anything else, Sol flung him over his shoulder and carried him out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. It definitely shut Cody up, but of course, that was before Cody bit his ass. Hard.

  “Ow.”

  He flipped Cody over, and he bounced into the center of the mattress. Cody glared at him. Sol loved every second of it. He grinned and grabbed Cody’s ankles, dragging him to the edge of the bed.

  “What are you smiling at?”

  Sol spread Cody’s legs and ran his hands over Cody’s thighs. “I’m happy.”

  Cody’s glare faded. “Dammit. You say the best things. But if you don’t fuck me already, I really will murder you dead.”

  Sol laughed. He flipped the cap on the lube and put some on his fingers. “So impatient.”

  “Duh. Have you seen you? I mean, I have because those pictures, Sol. I’ve been dreaming about you for days and I didn’t even know it was you, and now I know it’s you, and it’s better.”

  Sol stroked a slick finger over Cody’s hole before pushing it inside. Cody gasped and bit his lip.

  “Fuck, Sol.”

  “That’s the plan.”

  Cody grumbled again. Sol added a second finger.

  “Fuck.”

  His patience was at its limit, but he wouldn’t hurt Cody. He watched Cody’s face, already learning what he liked. What he didn’t. What he needed. And what drove him insane.

  “More,” Cody demanded.

  Sol slipped his fingers free and added more lube. He slid them in again. The stretch drew another long whine from Cody, but he didn’t fight it. He reached for Cody’s cock, stroking it softly as he made sure Cody’s hole was ready for him.

  “Enough.”

  Sol lifted his gaze to Cody’s. “You’re so fucking gorgeous.”

  Cody growled.

  Sol leaned down and sucked the head of Cody’s cock into his mouth.

  Cody keened, arching up and pushing his cock in deeper.<

  “Sol, please.”

  He raised his head, keeping his fingers busy stretching out Cody’s hole. “I want to be sure you’re ready. I’d never hurt you.”

  Cody’s breath hitched. “Don’t be all sweet now. Fuck me, Sol. Like you mean it.”

  “Well, since you demanded so nicely.”

  Cody reached for his arm and tugged, but Sol didn’t move. There were definite perks to having supernatural strength. Cody scowled and tugged again.

  Sol grinned and began stroking his own cock. “Want something?”

  “There’s the sarcastic pain in the ass I’ve known for years.”

  Sol leaned down and positioned his cock at Cody’s hole. “I’ll show you pain in the ass.”

  Cody groaned. And it wasn’t because Sol had eased the tip of his dick inside, although that might have added to it a little. “Don’t be cheesy when you have your cock in my ass, okay?”

  Sol pushed forward a little, and Cody’s breath hitched.

  “Don’t be so bossy,” Sol teased.

  “Don’t be such a slow poke. Some of us are human. We could die before you finally get around to it.”

  Sol paused, scowling at Cody even as he eased forward a little more, unable to resist the snug grip Cody’s hole had on him. Had someone revealed the secret to Cody?

  “Super serum, Sol. Don’t look confused. Get with the program.”

  For a moment, Sol had thought Cody knew his last secret. He grinned and grabbed Cody’s hips. He pushed forward, his cock sliding in until his hips were pressed against Cody’s ass. “I’m going to fuck you so well you’ll forget to sass me.”

  “I’d like to see you try.” Cody smirked at him as Sol leaned forward.

  Sol kissed him quickly before pulling away. “Challenge accepted.”

  “Oh fuck,” Cody groaned.

  Sol pulled out and pushed forward again, starting a steady rhythm that had Cody crying out his name, begging for more with each thrust of his hips. He hadn’t lied when he said he wouldn’t be able to go slow. The first time Cody clenched his ass against Sol’s cock, he was done. Done waiting and wondering. Done longing and hoping. He was ready to fuck Cody so well he would never forget it. He’d never let him go after this. He’d find a way to explain and convince Cody to—
