After a few more minutes of greedy kisses, Corey drew back. “Are you sure you’re my mate?”
Devin smiled. So much love shone in his eyes, Corey felt almost like he needed to shield against it. And then he remembered the dream. The scene had been this one, the two of them before the fireplace, holding one another. Emotion swelled inside of him. Even if he was still nervous about all this, the fact was he felt something for Devin. No. More than something. This was love. He loved Devin. He’d felt like he would die if he lost him during that battle. He’d killed several shifters, something he’d never done before. Looking into Devin’s dark gaze, Corey knew he’d do it all again if it meant keeping Devin safe.
Embarrassed, he muttered, “I love you.”
Devin shuddered in his arms. “I love you, too, Corey. I accept you as my Alpha and as my mate. I pledge my loyalty to you and to this pack.”
“Our pack,” Corey said. “I accept you as my mate, and I claim you now.”
Corey lowered Devin to the carpet and kissed down his body. He ran his fingertips over the hard plains, licked and nibbled the taut skin. Devin’s muscles contracted with each touch. His body was hard and unyielding, so unlike a woman’s, and yet, it drove Corey’s desires even higher. He reached Devin’s thigh and raised his knee while he explored the broad expanse. The sprinkle of dark hair tickled his nose, and the tanned skin excited him.
While he kissed up to Devin’s groin, he ran his hand under his lover’s thigh until he reached his ass. He squeezed the tight rounded muscle at the same time he swallowed Devin’s cock. A moan ripped from his throat, echoed by Devin’s. Corey wanted to spend all day loving his mate’s shaft, but he had to complete the claiming first.
He sat up and pulled Devin down to him. He lay on his back, legs raised to expose his rear entrance. Only then did Corey realize had hadn’t brought in the lotion. He saw Blaine move from the corner of his eye and looked up. His friend waved a tube of lubricant and then shot it to him. Corey knew his face must be red. Loving Devin he’d forgotten that quickly that they had an audience. He bent his head to the task of readying his lover and then tossed the tube aside.
His eyes met Devin’s, and right away, he was caught up once again. How he loved him. Bringing their bodies together this way completed him when he’d not known there was something missing. So the old saying about his people was true. They each needed their mate to be whole.
Corey hauled Devin’s thighs and rear higher on his lap. He pushed his cock down so the head was right at Devin’s entrance. Using his fingers wasn’t necessary. Devin was ready. His body opened to Corey, stretching yet squeezing him at the same time. His breath hissed between his teeth as he pushed deeper. Devin’s dark lashes fanned his cheeks. His head went back and he arched into Corey’s thrust. This was his mate’s surrender, he thought. He took it willingly, knowing the relationship with Devin wouldn’t be an easy one. They were both headstrong, both determined to lead. He grinned and leaned forward once he was fully seated inside Devin. They’d battle, but it would feel good all the way.
He began to grind hard into Devin, digging his fingers into Devin’s hips and forcing him down on his erection. Devin groaned, which sent Corey farther over the edge. He pistoned his hips, pushing faster. Their bodies thumped together over and over. He growled his lover’s name. Mine!
“C-Come in me,” Devin rasped. “You’ve got to complete it by coming inside of me.”
“I know what I’m doing,” Corey told him. “You just enjoy it.”
He drove in harder and increased his pace. Their bodies were now slamming together. Corey felt his climax coming fast. He watched his dick slide out shiny and wet, then disappear inside Devin’s hole. His balls were tight as he stared at their movements. Devin stroked his own cock, and seeing that was more than enough to finish it. An intake of breath took his attention off Devin for a second, and he glanced at Blaine. His best friend had pulled his cock from his pants and was pumping it while his gaze was riveted to Devin and Corey.
Corey turned back to Devin. He narrowed his eyes on his handsome, rugged face. Not in a million years would he have imagined he’d be doing this with a man. Boldness took hold of him with the pleasure that suffused his system. “You want me to release in you, cowboy?”
“Yes,” Devin ground out. He had no shame about his situation. “Now, Corey. I want to feel it.”
He didn’t have to beg. Corey couldn’t hold back any longer. His groin muscles contracted, and the sensations of an orgasm took hold. He bucked, gasping and jerking out of control. His come shot out, filling Devin’s ass. They moaned in unison when Devin creamed his abs and chest. His come coated his fingers, but he kept drawing on his cock.
On impulse, Corey pulled Devin’s hand away from his shaft and began to lick it. Beside him, Blaine cried out, and Corey knew he’d reached his end as well. He let him ride through, but when he was done, Corey whispered, “Leave us alone.”
He didn’t take his eyes off Devin, and Devin had opened his to stare into Corey’s face. The front door opened and shut. Devin squeezed his hand. “I love you.”
“I love you, too,” Corey told him. “I haven’t gotten enough. Are you tired?”
Devin grinned. “Not a chance.”
“We’re a mess,” Corey suggested.
“Well, darlin’, let’s have a bath.”
Corey shook his head. “I guess I have to get used to that Southern charm thing you have.”
Devin stood up and strolled ahead of him toward the bedroom. Corey watched him go, enjoying the view of his ass and hard thighs. When had he ever found the sight of a man’s unyielding body erotic? He guessed he didn’t. Devin himself was the draw.
“That’s how I won you over,” Devin called as he disappeared into the room. Corey hightailed it after him. He didn’t want to lose sight of this man for one minute, and his cock was already getting hard again.
A little later, Corey relaxed on his back, deep beneath the suds of a warm bath. He threw his arms over the sides and closed his eyes. Water splashed as Devin climbed in. Corey at first didn’t pay attention until Devin took hold of his cock and began feeding it inside of his ass. Corey moaned. “Ah, that feels good. I think I’m going to love doing this.”
“Every day?”
“Several times,” Corey affirmed.
“How will we get any work done?”
Corey looked down at his lover perched on his lap facing him. Devin’s chest glistened with water and suds. He had a sudden urge to taste the tiny flat nipples, but he couldn’t move. The pleasure of Devin straddling him was too much. “At this moment, I don’t care about work.”
Devin began to move, raising and lowering himself on Corey’s cock. Corey clenched his teeth and flared his nostrils. Devin moved faster, rising and falling hard. He gripped the sides of the tub to give himself leverage. They stared into each other’s eyes. Water sloshed over the sides of the tub, but still Corey raised his hips to meet his lover coming down on him.
“Come here,” Corey demanded. “I need to kiss you.”
Rather than obey, Devin jerked Corey to him, and their lips met. They mated with their tongues, moaning and hungrily devouring each other. Corey ran his hands down Devin’s chest and pinched at his nipples. He pulled back. Corey followed along his rigid torso until he came to Devin’s cock, and he took it into his hand. Beneath the surface of the water, Devin rode his cock while Corey stroked Devin’s. Their second orgasms took a while in coming, but getting there and exploding had them shouting and bucking all the way.
Afterward, Devin climbed off of Corey, and they took turns washing each other. Devin was the first to step from the water. He dried himself and then held out a towel. Corey took it to wipe the excess moisture from his form. His mate watched with appreciation reflected in his gaze. Corey grinned.
Hand in hand they went into the room and settled into the bed together. Corey waited until Devin rested on his chest to ask the last question bugging him. “Devin.”
“Hmm?” Devin said with drowsiness in his tone.
“Did that other Alpha…Did he touch you? I mean did he…”
“No, he didn’t. I would have died before I let that happen.” He looked up at Corey. “No one touches me unless you say so.”
Corey smiled. “That goes for me too.”
Devin shifted his position so they faced each other on their sides. He reached down to take Corey’s cock and pressed the head against his own. Corey watched as the two domes brushed. The pleasure, even slight, made him ready for more. Devin kept them both in his palm, squeezing lightly. They kissed, the tips of their tongues just touching. The torment of wanting more but not taking it was incredible. Just being this close to Devin was enough for now.
“I am wondering what the men will say when they learn about us,” Devin said.
“Or rather have it confirmed,” Corey corrected. “I think most of them know there’s more than friendship between us. The fact that you’re wondering surprises me though. You don’t seem to be fazed by anything and don’t care what others think.”
Devin stroked his cheek. “I care about what you think, and Corrin. I want you to be happy, and I know it’s a big deal that since we’re mated, we can’t have offspring to advance the fenrir shifter line.” Devin lowered his eyes. “That might be a good thing since I’m not full-blooded.”
Corey dragged him into his arms, regretting every word he’d said that hurt Devin. He’d spend his life making it up to him. That he promised himself. “I’m sorry. I don’t feel that way at all. Yes, I would have liked to have kids, but what’s most important is being with you, Devin.”
He leaned back and kissed Devin’s lips. For a while, they were lost in the sensations of being close, and then Corey reaffirmed, “No matter what anyone says or does, I don’t care. So long as I’m with you, we’ll face it all—together.”
