Ari moaned and drew his mouth down to Sev's chest. His skin was smooth and hairless – not uncommon for a male vampire – and he tasted incredible. He had a distinct manly flavor that turned him on.
Sev arched into him and groaned as Ari found one dark nipple and drew it into his mouth. A man's nipple – Sev's. Rarely had Ari suckled a woman's breast, but taking Sev's between his lips felt perfect in all the right ways. Flat and hard, not soft and buoyant. Sev's nipple still puckered and hardened against his tongue, but in a completely different way than a woman's.
His palms caressed over hard muscles which bunched and flexed unlike a woman's, straining and tensing in such a masculine way. Oh God, this was what he had been missing all his life. This had been what he had always wanted. The reality was so much better than the fantasy, and Ari found himself being swept away with his need to feel all of Sev.
His mouth worked its way to the other side of Sev's chest, closing around his other nipple, sucking it harshly and flicking it with his tongue. He wanted to please Sev. He needed to please him.
"Babe, you're driving me wild." A purr released inside Sev's chest.
A fucking purr! Ari felt like he was in the middle of a smorgasbord of revelations and new discoveries.
Females rarely, if ever, purred. Ari had never been with one who did. Hearing the telltale sign of arousal from Severin was mind blowing, and he surged up Sev's body to close his mouth over his throat, sucking hard, wanting like hell to bite him and sink his cock in deep to claim him.
Sev shuddered violently as he purred again, more loudly this time, and with a flip, Ari was on his back and Sev rose up over him, grinding his hips forward and back in a fucking motion. Ari looked down to watch their dicks slide against each other, and his body visibly shivered. The visual heated him instantly, pushing him closer to the edge as he panted and a purr emanated from his own chest, surprising him. When had he ever purred before except when he was masturbating?
His eyes shot to Sev's, wide and shocked.
Sev smiled down at him. "Let me guess. You've never purred during sex."
He shook his head. "That was a first. God, this is a lot of firsts for me."
Sev moaned and seemed to melt a little against him. "Babe, you can't say shit like that to me."
Ari frowned in confusion. "What do you mean? Why not?"
"Because…" Sev rolled his body along his again, lowering himself so his lips hovered over Ari's. "It drives me crazy." He kissed and rocked against him. "It makes me want to do…things to you." Another kiss and body roll. "Fuck, you're sexy as hell."
Ari thought he might just die right there. The man of his dreams was undulating over his body like a lava flow, and their cocks glided up and down against each other, sending increasing signals that he was going to come any minute if this didn't stop.
Somehow his arms wound around Sev's back and his hands threaded up under his armpits to grip his shoulders underhanded. His legs shot around Sev's and he pulled him down, forcing their mouths to crash together. A chorus of low purrs echoed back and forth between them as their bodies cavorted against one another and their tongues wrestled, licking long and deep with each oral embrace.
"I want inside you. I need to fuck you, Sev." Damn. Either he was growing bolder or the brain/mouth filter thing wasn't working. Had he really just spoken those words aloud? He cleared his throat and felt his face heat up. "Uuhh…yeah. I didn't mean…um…"
Sev grinned down at him, obviously humored. "Where's the lube?"
Ari flushed and grinned back, realizing that while this was all new to him, Sev wasn't as inexperienced and could handle the man-to-man dirty talk. "In the drawer." He began to reach over, but Sev stopped him.
"I'll get it."
"No. That's okay." Ari pushed up on his elbows and tried to beat Sev to the drawer. Too late.
Sev stilled on top of him, his arm outstretched, his gaze locked on the contents of the nightstand. One brow lifted and a crooked smile curved Sev's mouth as Ari collapsed back to the mattress, mortified.
"Mmmm, what do we have here? Toys?"
Oh God, kill me now. Ari cringed and tried to look away but ended up rolling his head back to look at one of the dildos Sev had pulled from the drawer. Yeah, now he looked away, grimacing with embarrassment.
Sev dug around inside the drawer. "There are so many."
Uh-huh. Ari had a lot of toys. Dildos, vibrators, some big, some small. He even had a cock sleeve. He liked his toys, but until now, he had been the only person who knew about them.
"I wonder, Ari," Sev said, "what do you do with these?" He held up one of the vibrators. It was cylindrical with a T-shaped handle.
God, why haven't you killed me, yet? Ari pushed out from under Sev and rolled to his side, horrified Sev had found his stash.
"Hey, Ari. Come on. I'm only kidding." Sev scooted up behind him and kissed his shoulder.
Ari groaned and rolled to his stomach, burying his face in his pillow. He managed a pathetic chuckle of embarrassment, but didn't look up.
"Come on, babe. Look at me."
With a sigh, Ari shook his head and turned to look back at Sev. He knew he had to be thirty shades of crimson.
Sev smiled warmly at him. "I didn't mean anything by it," he said of his teasing. He snuggled closer. "I like toys, too."
Ari groaned and buried his face in the pillow again. "I'm so embarrassed."
"Why?" Sev stroked his fingers up and down Ari's back. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, babe."
He turned back and looked into Sev's gentle, blue eyes. Sev was propped on one elbow, and his hand on his back felt soothing. Nice. Sensual.
"I masturbate with them," he said quietly, closing his eyes in humiliation and looking away.
Sev laughed. "What's wrong with that?" He pressed closer and Ari felt Sev's erection press against the side of his hip. "I masturbate with toys, too."
Ari looked back at him. "Really?"
"Fuck, yeah. It makes me hot." Sev's hand dipped lower and brushed over the upper swell of Ari's ass, setting off a storm of tingles deep in his groin.
Ari closed his eyes and breathed deeply, enjoying the sensations.
Sev's hand swooped lower still and pressed more firmly against Ari's bottom, squeezing one cheek gently. "Do they make you hot, too?"
Ari's breath quickened. He kept his eyes closed and nodded.
"Yes," he said softly.
"Mmm."
Sev knew just what to say to put Ari at ease. He knew just what to do. His hand worked even lower and his fingers skimmed up the part in his bottom, making Ari tremble and tense.
The mattress shifted and Ari felt Sev sit up and move behind him, and still he kept his eyes closed. What was Sev going to do? Fuck him?
He heard the click of the cap on the lube pop open, then Sev's slickened fingers dipped between his cheeks once more, causing him to moan. The anticipation was killing him. What was Sev planning?
The sudden, soft whirring of the vibrator told Ari he was about to get a touch of the familiar. And sure enough, as Sev's weight shifted over him again, he felt the tip of the vibrator brush lightly down the center line of his ass.
A jolt of fire shot straight to his cock and his hands fisted the blanket as his toes curled.
"See. Toys are fun, aren't they?" Sev rubbed the vibrator more forcefully against him, pushing it deeper until it nestled against him in just the right place. If Sev gave a gentle nudge, the vibrator would breach him.
Ari trembled. "Y-Yes."
Sev chuckled and bent down to kiss the back of Ari's neck. "Come on. Get up for me, babe."
Get up? Ari wasn't even sure he could breathe at the moment. And Sev wanted him to push himself up off the mattress? Okay, he would give it his best shot.
On shaky arms and legs, as his chest began pumping hard for air from the sheer arousal coursing through his veins, he pushed away from the mattress. Severin's arm slipped around his waist and pulled him up to his knees as his o
ther hand pushed the vibrator in.
"Oh! Fuck!" Ari's eyes popped open and his head fell back against Sev's shoulder.
Sure, he had used his toys on himself before, but this was the first time a male had done the honors for him. The heat level was significantly higher under the circumstances.
The two of them struggled to find a balance, and Sev had to do his best to hold Ari up as he gasped for air and squirmed.
"You're so damned sexy. So responsive," Sev said, nipping his neck. "Is this better now?" His voice held an edge of humor alongside his growl of arousal.
Ari nodded, but was too blissed out to speak. He was in Sev's arms. Sev – the man of his dreams. And he had a vibrator tantalizing him up his back side. And Sev's hand was letting go of the vibrator now that it was secured and reaching for his –
"Oh God!" Ari cried out and reached back with both hands to grab Sev and hold on as Sev stroked his cock.
Damn, Sev felt good, large and strong, holding him. Ari looked down at the thick arm secured around his torso. Then he glanced lower at Sev's large hand wrapped around his cock, stroking his shaft, palming the head every sixth or seventh pull. The moment was surreal. It was as if he was watching as an observer, and this couldn't possibly be happening to him. But it was.
To prove it, he began to thrust his hips forward and back in time with the tempo of Sev's hand, fucking his fist, intensifying the contact between them as he continued to watch. Sev's chin brushed over his shoulder as he pushed forward and joined Ari in watching the action down below.
"Fuck, Ari." Sev's voice sounded like he was about to lose control of himself.
Ari turned and their eyes met briefly before he pulled on the back of Sev's head to urge their mouths to join. So good. So goddamn good. Feeling Sev's mouth on his, Sev's hand fisting his cock, and the vibrator whirring away and stimulating him from the inside was about the closest thing to sexual heaven he had ever experienced. And he didn't want it to stop.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be inside me?" Sev spoke against his mouth then licked his lips before continuing. "Didn't you say you wanted to fuck me?" His breath washed over Ari's mouth. Only now did Ari realize Sev's hips were thrusting gently against Ari's lower back in rhythm with his hand.
"Yes." Ari had said that. He had wanted it. Still wanted it.
"Then do it. Fuck me." Sev turned him around and laid him back on the bed, climbing up and straddling him.
"What are you doing?" Did men fuck like this? Ari slid his hands up Sev's thighs.
Sev reached for the lube and poured it over Ari's cock then capped it and tossed it aside as he positioned himself while working the lube up and down with his palm.
"I like being on top." Sev's hand stilled and he lifted up on his knees.
"How—?"
Ari's eyes shot wide as Sev lowered himself, slowly taking Ari's cock inside him.
Oh, fuck!
"Oh God, oh God." Ari had never felt anything like this. Sev was so tight around him. So damn tight.
"Good?"
Ari nodded like a damn fool bobble-head doll. "Hell yes."
He must have looked like a gaping idiot, too, his head lifted and his eyes wide as he gasped repeatedly, watching every inch of his hard-on disappear inside Sev. He didn’t even know sex was possible this way between two men, but he wasn’t complaining.
"You like that?" Sev pushed his palms against Ari's chest as he took the last of his cock and moaned approvingly.
"Fuck." Ari could barely keep himself still. He bent his legs and grabbed Sev's thighs in a death grip. "Oh, fuck." He wasn't going to last long. He was too torqued – too turned on. And Sev felt incredible.
"Mmm, you like it?" Sev lifted and lowered again, then again.
All Ari could do was give a hurried nod and labor for breath. This was his fantasy come to life. Looking up to see Sev's hard, muscular body poised over his was better than amazing. Just the visual feast alone was enough to bring him off, but to have Sev stimulating his cock, too? No, he definitely wouldn't last more than another few seconds.
"So do I," Sev said.
Sev did all the work, bobbing up and down, their gazes locked together and Sev’s erection sticking straight out from his body.
"Sev! Oh God, Sev! I can’t—"
Between the vibrator, the view, and the tightness of Sev’s ass around his cock, along with the fact that this was the most turned on he had ever been, Ari couldn’t stop himself. They had been at it less than a minute when he shot his load. His body shuddered and jerked as he cried out in stunned climax, his eyes open wide as he jacked up off the bed. His fingers curled in a death grip on Sev's hips. The force of his orgasm was so strong, the vibrator popped out of his ass.
"Fuck, but you’re sexy when you come, Ari. I can feel everything."
Sev had stopped working up and down on him, but Ari's cock continued to pulse and twitch while Sev pumped his own erection in his fist. Ari’s chest worked for air as he watched the swollen head of Sev’s cock disappear and reappear in his hand. Shit, but he felt like the room was spinning. He was still coming. He had never come so hard. His unfocused gaze swam down again to watch Sev pump himself, his mouth hanging open as he gasped for air, his eyes hungry to see Sev come if he could just get them to focus.
"Yes, yes." Sev’s hand momentarily stilled then resumed with light, rapid strokes as streams of semen spilled over Ari’s stomach. His ass clenched on Ari’s cock. "Aaughh."
So, this is what real sex felt and looked like.
Ari stared in awe at the magnificent male tensing and relaxing through each orgasmic wave. Everything about this scene was right. Severin, him, the two of them together, coming on and inside each other. Having sex with Sev hadn’t been work like it always was with women. It didn't leave him unsatisfied, angry, miserable, or any of the other morbid or frustrated emotions having sex with women always left him feeling. It didn’t leave him wanting to get dressed immediately so he could bolt. For the first time, he wanted to hold someone after sex. And not just hold him, but sleep beside him, wake up next to him, and make him breakfast.
Sev reached down, picked up the vibrator, and turned it off. "What are you thinking about, babe?"
Ari glanced up to see Sev grinning down at him, his face and neck flushed and radiant as his large, sweat-covered chest pumped hard as he caught his breath.
"Huh?" Ari said, still stunned stupid, but in a good way.
"You’ve got this look on your face. Kind of a goofy, happy look." Sev rubbed his palms up Ari's stomach and over his chest, smearing his release over his skin.
Ari ran his hands up Sev’s legs as he sighed contentedly. His body still tingled with arousal, and he could still feel the effects of his orgasm. "Maybe it’s because I am happy."
Sev lifted off his spent cock and laid down next to him, facing him. Ari got the feeling that the smile on Sev's face matched his own as he rolled onto his side to face him. He didn't even care that Sev's release still coated his stomach as he pushed in close so they could hold each other.
"That was your first, huh?" Sev said, stroking his fingers down his back.
He nodded, and his hold tightened.
Sev kissed his cheek. "How was it?"
Ari didn't think he could put into words how incredible the entire experience had been.
"Perfect. It was perfect, Sev." Ari rested his forehead against Sev's and gazed into his crystal blue eyes. "Sex with women was never this satisfying."
"Well, when you're gay, it shouldn't be."
Was Ari gay? Really? Was he even still asking himself that question? Because it was pretty clear he was, in fact, gay. Women were never meant to be on his menu.
"I love your body. I love watching you." Ari tried to burrow in closer and rubbed his hand over Sev's chest. "You feel amazing against me."
Sev chuckled then kissed him. "Look at you. All full of man-love. It sure took us long enough to get our heads out of our asses, didn't it?"
"You mean a
ll that stupidity after what happened last month?"
Sev nodded and their lips met briefly. "Yeah. I thought you regretted it."
Ari kissed him again. "No, I just didn't know what to think about what happened. I didn't know what to say or do. And I thought you were having second thoughts since you didn't mention it."
Sev's hand ran over the cheek of Ari's ass before gripping the back of his thigh and pulling him on top of him as he rolled to his back. "No. I wanted you. The only second thoughts I had were whether you had really wanted me." Strong arms encircled Ari and held him close.
"I wanted you. I still want you. So help me, but it feels like I'll never stop wanting you." He pushed his arms under Sev and held him close as he pressed his face into the nape of his neck and breathed more easily than he could remember. He felt good here against Sev, as if he belonged and the curves of his own body were made exactly to fit against those of Sev’s. Now he knew what people meant when they referred to someone as the puzzle piece that was missing from their life. Because that’s how he felt about Sev. Perfect puzzle pieces finally locked into place against one another.
Now if he could only figure out how to mesh this new, real life with the fake one he had lived since birth. Because even though he had finally found his other half, it was critical their relationship remain a secret. No one could know the truth about who he was. No one but Sev.
CHAPTER NINE
"Multiple enforcers down!" Gina's heart skipped a beat as the call came through on her radio, and even before the report confirmed that it was the raid Gabe was involved in, Gina knew.
She slammed on the brakes of her SUV and turned around and high-tailed it to the factory. Ten minutes later, she rushed into the stench of death and found Gabe bleeding out. He had been shot several times with artillery powerful enough to pierce his vest. That was some fancy-assed ammo in those drecks' arsenal.
"Gabe, oh God. Stay with me, Gabe!" She ripped off his shirt and vest and tried to stop the bleeding by releasing her venom into the wounds, but there was too much damage.
