Raith placed his hands softly on Aaron’s hips and let Aaron kiss him. He opened his mouth as Aaron slid his tongue into his mouth. They kissed for a moment until Aaron pulled away and looked at him in confusion. “What’s wrong, Raith?”
Raith wrapped his arms around Aaron’s waist and brought their bodies together. He buried his face in Aaron’s neck and whispered against his skin. “Nothing, Aaron. I’m just tired. And you’re burning up. Come on. Let’s get you taken care of.” Raith gave him one last squeeze and released him. Stepping back he turned and headed for the bed. Raith sat on the bed and started to unlace his boots. Aaron kneeled down in front of him and stilled his hands. Their eyes met and Aaron smiled at him. Raith sat back and let Aaron remove his shoes and socks. He leaned forward and rubbed his cheek on Raith’s thigh. He closed his eyes at the coolness of the leather pants Raith still wore. Raith gently ran his fingers through Aaron’s hair once and then stopped. Aaron sat back and looked up at him.
“Let’s shower first. We’ve been in these clothes for over twenty-four hours now and I really could use a shower,” Raith said and stood up. He stepped around Aaron and headed to the bathroom. Aaron sat there stunned as he watched his mate go into the bathroom. Something was definitely wrong, but he didn’t know what. He stood up and followed Raith into their en suite bathroom.
When Aaron stepped into the bathroom Raith was already in the shower. His clothes were left on the floor in a heap. Aaron removed his clothes and picked up Raith’s. He opened the hamper to throw them in when he remembered that these weren’t even his clothes. His clothes were left back at the club in their room there. He threw the garments in and approached the large shower. It had multiple shower heads and room for about ten people. In the back of the stall was a large tiled bench that was built into the shower. It was big enough for someone to lay down on it, and it was very useful for when Raith bent him over the edge and drove his thick cock into him. He shivered at the memory of the fun they had on that bench the last time they showered together. Wow, was that only yesterday before they got dressed for the club? It seemed so long ago now. Aaron moved in behind Raith and wrapped his arms around his waist. He pressed his naked body to Raith’s and kissed his wet back.
Raith’s hands pressed flat against the tiled wall. His head bowed down as he let the water cascade down his golden skin. He shivered at his mate’s touch. He felt a tightness in his chest, but he pushed that pain away. He raised his head and lowered his arms, bringing his hands to the arms wrapped around him. He hugged onto Aaron’s arms as Aaron hugged him from behind. “Make love to me, mate.” Aaron whispered from behind him as he planted another kiss on Raith’s back. Raith closed his eyes at the wonderful feeling of his mate sliding his cheek over his skin. He unfolded Aaron’s arms from around his waist and turned.
Raith grabbed onto Aaron’s face with both hands and brought their lips together in a heated kiss. Aaron opened to him. Raith swept his tongue into his mate’s mouth and devoured him with his kiss. He tried to convey all his love, all his emotions in this one kiss. He loved Aaron more than he ever loved anything in his life. He wanted Aaron to know that, to feel that. He lowered one hand from Aaron’s face and wrapped it around Aaron, grabbing onto his perfect round globe, drawing their bodies together. His hard cock was pressed against Aaron’s stomach and Aaron’s beautiful shaft was pressed against his thigh. His back hurt a little at this angle, so he released Aaron’s head and picked him up. Aaron’s legs wrapped around his waist and his arms around his shoulders. He moaned at the feel of his mate’s hard cock pressed between them. He never broke the kiss as he turned them. He stepped forward so Aaron’s back was against the tiled wall.
Raith’s rock-hard cock rubbed against the crease of Aaron’s ass. He pumped his hips. The sensation of Aaron’s ass running back and forth over his shaft was making his knees weak. Raith reached for the waterproof lube as he plunged his tongue deeper into Aaron’s mouth. He flicked the top open with one hand and pulled his head back slightly. “Hold on tight.” He growled against Aaron’s lips. Aaron tightened his hold on Raith and Raith released his ass. He poured the lube into his palm and dropped the tube. He wrapped his hand around his cock and slid his slick hand from base to tip, coating his shaft. He grabbed onto Aaron’s ass again and ran a finger across his crease as his other hand grabbed Aaron’s other cheek. He slowly slid one finger into Aaron’s silken channel. His mate’s body grabbed his finger and drew it further in. Raith sawed his finger in and out of his mate’s hot hole a few times before he added a second. He released Aaron’s lips and ran his tongue down the side of Aaron’s throat.
“Oh Gods, Raith,” Aaron cried out breathlessly. He tightened his grip on Raith’s shoulders. Raith felt Aaron’s nails dig into his skin. He was probably going to have cuts there but Raith didn’t care. His mate was falling apart in his arms from the pleasure that he was bringing him. He sawed three fingers into Aaron. Aaron moaned and writhed against him as their wet bodies slid together. He couldn’t wait another minute. He needed to be inside his mate. He needed to feel their connection. He pulled his fingers from Aaron’s body and grabbed onto his other cheek. His hands pulled Aaron’s globes apart and Raith lined up the tip of his shaft with Aaron’s hole. He latched his lips onto Aaron’s throat as he surged forward, driving his cock all the way into Aaron in one thrust.
They both moaned as Raith’s cock hit Aaron’s prostate. Aaron’s hand grabbed onto the back of Raith’s head, the wet strands tangling around his fingers. Aaron tightened his hold on Raith’s head, pushing his lips harder against his throat. He drove his cock into Aaron with more force. His mate’s body slid up the wall from the force of Raith’s thrusts. Raith released Aaron’s throat and looked at the mark he left behind. He loved that his man would wear his mark. “Raise your hands and hold onto the showerhead, baby,” Raith commanded.
Aaron released his grip from Raith’s head and shoulder and did as Raith said. He raised his arms and grabbed onto the showerhead. Raith widened his stance, which caused Aaron’s body to drop slightly so his arms stretched out further above him, causing a slight pull in his arms. Raith tightened his grip on Aaron’s ass and started to snap his hips, driving his cock harder into his mate. The incredible feel of Aaron’s silken cave stretching around his invading shaft, squeezing him, sent Raith’s head reeling. The feeling of light-headedness made him grab onto his mate tighter. He threw his head back and moaned out his pleasure. “Ahhhh.”
Raith closed his eyes and clenched his jaw. His neck muscles strained. His orgasm was racing to an end. His balls pulled up tight against his body and a jolt of electricity raced down his spine. Gods Aaron feels so good. This is how it should be. This all-consuming passion. Not doubt, not just acceptance of whom Fate chose for you. But his mates only wanted him because Fate said so. They didn’t really want him. This thought brought Raith back to reality. The sadness started to take over again. Aaron cried out. “Oh God…yes! Don’t stop, Raith… please…don’t stop!”
Raith quickened his pace again, driving his cock harder and faster into Aaron. He felt the tears start to burn the backs of his eyes. He moved his hands up Aaron’s back and held him close. He buried his face in the crook of Aaron’s neck as a few tears escaped his eyes. They both cried out as their orgasms hit. Warm wetness shot against Raith’s stomach as he shot his load deep inside his mate. He held onto Aaron as his body shook from his release and from the tears that fell. He was grateful that they were in the shower, because the water would hide any signs of his tears. They stayed like that for a few minutes as they caught their breath. Aaron lowered his hands from the showerhead and wrapped his arms around Raith’s shoulders. They held onto each other as their heartbeats slowed and the water from the shower washed over them.
“Wow.” Aaron finally broke the silence. “That was so incredible, Raith,” he said as he lowered his legs from around Raith’s waist and found his footing.
“It’s always incredible with you, sweetheart,” Raith an
swered and stepped back. He gave Aaron a small smile as their eyes met. “Good thing we’re in the shower, huh? We’re a mess.”
Aaron smiled and chuckled. “The mess was worth it. You rocked my world, big guy.”
Raith cupped Aaron’s cheek and kissed his lips gently. “Let’s finish getting cleaned up and maybe take a small nap before I take you again. How does that sound?”
Aaron grabbed the shampoo and squeezed some into his hand. “That sounds great. You held my heat at bay at least for a short time, but you’ll have to take care of it again soon. With Rory not being able to do anything right now, it’s all up to you again.” Aaron started to scrub his head. Raith watched him as his heart squeezed tighter. He blocked the pain he felt at Aaron’s words and shut down his emotions again. He grabbed the soap and started scrubbing his head and body. His movements were quick, almost frantic. He replaced the soap and moved under the other showerhead, rinsing off. He turned his head to look at Aaron and he was standing under the spray, clearing the shampoo from his hair. Raith stepped to the shower door and opened it. “I’ll meet you in bed,” he said over his shoulder and stepped out closing the door again.
Aaron just stood there staring in shock at the closed door. Raith had never been so cold with him before. No, not cold, emotionless. What was going on? Raith was always so passionate, so full of love and caring. Aaron quickly rinsed off and turned off the shower. He stepped out and grabbed a towel. Not bothering to dry himself he walked toward the door as he ran the towel over his wet head. He stepped into the bedroom and found Raith already in bed. Aaron stepped closer to talk to him but he heard the soft snore coming from his big mate. Raith was already asleep. He sighed and relaxed. Maybe that was it. Raith was exhausted, too. His big mate was being so wonderful taking care of him and Rory, worrying about them and making sure they were okay.
Aaron threw the towel into the hamper and walked around the bed. He climbed in under the blankets still naked. There was no use putting clothes on. His heat was just going to start up again and he would need his mate to satisfy him again. He rolled to his side and snuggled up against Raith, throwing his leg and arm over his mate. He closed his eyes and let the exhaustion take him, too.

It had been three days since he came here to be with his mates, but he hardly saw them. Rory was a little confused as to what to do. His mother always told him that paranormals cherished their mates, protected them and loved them, but his mates were MIA. Raith came in once and made sure he had food and he was resting. Aaron came in twice a day and checked his wounds and his vitals, spoke for a few minutes and then bolted out of the room. Were they ashamed of him because of what he did with Tom? No, that couldn’t be it. They were a Dom and sub, too. They were at the club. But Aaron said that Raith wasn’t really his Dom. He didn’t understand. When he first saw them, Aaron has wearing only tight boy shorts and a collar and he was kneeling at Raith’s feet.
Maybe they were waiting for him to go to them. He was just in the hospital after all, and his whip marks were still healing. Maybe that was it. He needed to see them, talk to them. He opened his door and stepped out into the hall. He stared at Raith and Aaron’s door afraid to do something wrong. What would he say? He took a deep breath and crossed the hall. He raised his hand to knock but noticed the door was opened slightly. He peaked inside the crack and saw Aaron. He was standing by the bed making it. He was only wearing a towel around his waist. His hair was damp and a few rivulets of water ran down his slim chest. Rory licked his lips at the thought of licking those beads of water from Aaron’s body. He reached down to adjust the bulge that formed in his pants and was now pressing painfully against his zipper. Aaron shifted and the towel slipped from his body, landing at his feet. Aaron bent down to pick it up and Rory got a great view of his round ass. It was so smooth and silky looking. Rory wondered how it would feel to touch those beautiful globes. Aaron straightened, holding the towel in his hand and turned toward the door. Rory got his first look at his mate’s gorgeous body.
Aaron was the same height as he was, but Aaron’s body wasn’t as defined as his own. Maybe it was because of all the chores Master made him do. His own body was slim, but he had defined muscles. He was pretty strong for his size. He would probably be better defined if he was allowed to eat more, but Tom told him a sub had to stay slim. Tom wanted him at a hundred and ten pounds. He said it was better for a sub to be smaller, thinner, weigh less, so that his Dom could lift him and move him in any way he wanted. Tom said he liked Rory this thin. He thought it was sexy. So he wasn’t allowed to eat too much.
Aaron came back from what Rory assumed was the bathroom and walked over to the closet. He disappeared inside, but came back out after a few minutes with clothes in his hands. Rory couldn’t take his eyes off his mate. He really was beautiful. The bulge in his pants started to throb and Rory just wanted to release his hard shaft and stroke it. What would his mates like in bed? He had only topped Roman a few times when they were younger, but since then he never topped anyone. He knew without a doubt that his big mate Raith was definitely a top. He was so big and strong. He loved big men. He wanted so badly for Raith to hold him again. He loved when his mates held him back at the hospital. Both of them made him feel so safe, but he got an extra thrill from Raith’s embrace. He spent a lot of time over the past three days dreaming about what his mates would look like naked, what it would feel like to have their bodies pressed against him. He wanted to feel Raith’s big chest pressed to his, or pressed to his back. He wanted more than anything to be with his mates. He closed his eyes at the thought of lying in that bed naked with both his mates surrounding him.
“Being a peeping Tom is a no-no. You know that right?” An amused voice came from behind him, causing him to jump. He turned to find the cutie, Taylor, standing there. He liked Taylor. He was a little crude sometimes and he tended to share every thought in his head, but he was funny. Taylor came to his room a few times a day and would sit with him and talk with him. He always made him feel better, happy.
“I…was…um.” Rory stumbled.
“Oh I know what you were doing,” Taylor said with a smirk. “It’s okay, sweetie. It’s your mate’s room. You have every right to peek inside whenever you want. But if you get any harder, I think your pants are going to either rip open or burst into flames.” Taylor smirked and shifted his gaze down to the bulge in Rory’s pants.
“Oh…yeah…um,” Rory stammered as he put his hands in front of his groin.
“Oh, sweetie, you’re gonna have to learn how to make a comeback better than that around here. Don’t worry, I’ll teach you.”
“Great, that’s all we need. Another Taylor around here,” Aaron said from the doorway.
Rory’s eyes went wide at the sound of Aaron’s voice behind him. He held his breath waiting for the punishment that would surely come from his sneaking around.
“Oh please. You all know you love everything about me. I make your lives so much more interesting,” Taylor said with a smirk.
“Yes you do, Taylor. And yes we do love everything about you. But I don’t think we can handle two Taylor’s. You’re one of a kind.” Aaron answered with a smile in his voice.
“You’ve got that right. You’re probably right though. Two of me would be just too much hotness in one house.” Taylor laughed. He looked at Rory and the smile left his face. “Oh, sweetie, it’s okay. We were only teasing.”
“Rory? What’s wrong?” Aaron asked as he stepped around Rory to face him. His face was full of concern. “Are you okay? Does anything hurt? Come on. Let’s go into your room and I’ll check you out,” Aaron said, taking his hand.
“Hold on, Doc. Let him answer you. I think you’re overwhelming him by just flying questions in his face. I usually only like balls flying in my face,” Taylor teased, making Rory laugh. “There you are. That’s better.” Taylor winked at him. Rory smiled at him. “Okay, you two lovelies, I gotta go. I’m horny now. I need to find my mate. I hope he’s i
n the game room. Pool table sex is awesome.” Taylor wiggled his eyebrows at them and walked away.
Aaron shook his head and laughed as Taylor walked away. He turned to face Rory. “Are you okay?”
Rory’s eyes met Aaron’s and Aaron thought he would just drown in those beautiful brown pools. “I’m fine,” he answered softly and looked down at the floor.
Aaron squeezed his hand and pulled him into his room, closing the door behind them. He pulled Rory over to the couch and sat him down. Aaron sat next to him and shifted so he could face Rory. “What is it, Rory? I can see there’s something wrong.”
Rory looked away from him and lowered his head again. He shrugged his shoulder. “I don’t know.”
Aaron placed a finger under Rory’s chin and lifted his head. He held onto his chin when Rory tried to pull away. Aaron turned Rory’s head to meet his gaze. “Please, tell me what’s bothering you,” Aaron pleaded.
Rory took a deep breath. “I came here three days ago to be with my mates, but you both just left me here in a strange house, with people I don’t know. I like Jesse, he’s very sweet, and I really like Taylor. He just cracks me up. The Alpha was big and scary, but he’s just a big softy, isn’t he? Gabriel was a little quiet and intense, until Taylor showed up. Then he just melted like ice cream on a hot summer day. I think Lexi and Crew might be a little crazy, but harmless. Xander is intense, but I think there’s a complex soul hiding in him. I think he’s been hurt and he hides it. Cass just kind of looks at me like he’s not quite sure what to say, and Xavier is a huge flirt. I don’t think he would actually do anything, but he likes to flirt. There’s another wolf, but I haven’t met him yet, Christian. Taylor told me that he’s been spending a lot of time with his brother-in-law, Raffy. He thinks that they’re mates, but he’s not sure,” Rory said. Aaron just stared at him in amazement. “What?” Rory asked when Aaron just continued to stare at him.
