Retribution [Federal Paranormal Agency 3] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic ManLove)
Page 10
He’d seen the truth in the other man’s eyes. It hadn’t been an idle threat or a scare tactic. Devin was willing to put a bullet in Reyes’s head in a misguided effort to keep Reyes all to himself.
“I know,” Abram agreed. “Reyes shouldn’t have had to watch his brother get shot though.”
“It came down to Devin or Reyes. Ian made the right decision. He pulled the trigger. With the gun against Reyes’s head, I wasn’t able to think like an agent.” Seeing Reyes in that situation scared the hell out of Evan. “I’m glad he was there.”
“You should’ve called for back-up on this case as soon as you found your True Match. We’re a team, Evan.”
“I know.” He sighed. “There are a lot of things I should’ve done, but I wasn’t exactly thinking clearly.” Evan had only wanted to close the case and keep Reyes safe.
“I know. I’ve been there.” Abram took Ranger’s hand into his and brought it up to his lips, kissing his fingers.
Evan looked away from the intimate moment between Abram and Ranger. By watching, he felt as if he were intruding somehow.
Staring out the window, Evan watched the landscape fly by. The sky changed as the sun slowly dropped down, scattering vivid colors of yellow, orange, and red. The car was silent. The only sounds that could be heard were the rumble of the engine and Reyes’s heavy breathing. He slept while Abram drove them all back to the city. Evan glanced down at his True Match off and on during the drive, watching as he slept.
“I love you.” Evan didn’t think he’d be able to say it enough. He knew he’d be forever haunted by the image of Devin with his cheek pressed against Reyes, the gun barrel against his head. Devin had been ready to kill them both. The whole scene played over and over inside his mind, reminding him how close he came to losing Reyes.
Evan didn’t really feel safe until Abram parked his SUV in the underground parking garage at their condo building on Leonard Street, and the security gate closed, locking. Ranger jumped out of the vehicle and opened the door for Evan. He was careful not to jostle Reyes too much as he slid across the bench seat and climbed out of the vehicle.
“Thanks.”
“No problem.” Ranger closed the door behind him.
Evan followed Abram and Ranger toward the elevator and took it up to his condo. Now that he had Reyes back home, Evan planned to lock them both inside for a few days. He didn’t plan on letting Reyes go, not ever.
“Are we home?” Reyes asked in a small voice.
“Yes, my love. We’re home.”
“I want to climb in bed and go to sleep.”
“I know you do, but you’ll feel a lot better after a shower.” Evan needed to wash Devin’s blood away and toss Reyes’s clothes in the trash. He wanted to remove all trace of Devin.
When he reached the bathroom, Evan carefully sat Reyes down on his feet. Evan started removing Reye’s clothing, pulling his T-shirt off over his head, and dropping it to the floor. He moved down, kneeling in front of the man that owned his heart. Evan pulled off Reyes’s tennis shoes and socks, before removing his jeans. He slowly stood and took Reyes’s hand, leading him into the shower stall. Evan started the water, placing Reyes under the spray.
He grabbed the bar of soap and worked up a good lather before gliding his hands down Reyes’s body. Evan removed the dried blood splattered along his face, arms, and hands. When he was satisfied that Reyes’s body was cleaned, he placed the bar of soap back onto a shelf. Evan pumped a large dollop of shampoo into his hand, working the foamy substance into Reyes’s hair, massaging his scalp. When he was done, Evan turned Reyes’s head and rinsed the shampoo away.
Part of Evan felt guilty. He’d been standing there when Ian took the shot. He mentally cheered when Devin fell to the ground, dead. He would’ve done anything to save Reyes, even take someone else’s life away. Evan could still feel the emotional pain Reyes was in, it radiated off him in waves.
“Why are you still dressed?” Reyes asked.
Evan glanced down. He’d been so focused on Reyes that he didn’t bother to take the time to strip down. Now that Reyes was slick and clean, Evan started removing his clothing, tossing the items into a soggy pile on the floor. Once he was naked, he wrapped his arms around Reyes’s waist and the two cuddled under the hot spray.
Chapter Fifteen
Evan shut off the bathroom light and closed the blinds, blocking out the city lights below, before climbing into bed beside Reyes. He moved in close, connecting their bodies, his chest pressing against Reyes’s back. Reyes let out a delightful little sigh and pushed his hips backward, thrusting his ass against Evan’s rapidly growing erection.
He grabbed hold of Reyes’s hip, stopping his movements. “Go to sleep, love.”
“I need you.” His voice was breathless as he continued to move his hips, silently begging Evan to take him.
There was no way he could deny his True Match especially since he wanted the same thing. Evan wanted to sink his cock and his teeth into Reyes simultaneously. He wanted to mark and claim the man all over again. He needed to feel the connection.
Rolling over, Evan stretched out his arm and pulled open the drawer on the side table. He grabbed the bottle of lube before rolling over once again. Flipping open the lid, Evan coated his fingers with the slick substance.
Evan slid his right arm underneath Reyes’s neck, cradling his head. He kept their bodies close together, needing to feel Reyes. Evan ran his lubed fingers down the crease of Reyes’s ass. He pressed one lubed finger against Reyes’s hole, massaging the lube around the man’s tight puckered hole. Reyes moaned, his hips jerking back. Evan slowly pushed his finger into Reyes, sliding his digit passed the tight ring of muscle. Evan paused once his finger was buried inside his True Match. Once Reyes relaxed his muscles, Evan moved his hand, pumping the digit in and out.
“Ah…” Reyes lifted his hand, wrapping it around Evan’s neck. He shoved his fingers into Evan’s hair and pulled on the strands. “More. Give me more.” He pushed his ass back, swiveling his hips.
Evan inserted a second, then a third finger, scissoring his digits and stretching Reyes. Evan watched his fingers slid in and out of Reyes’s ass. It was a beautiful sight. Reyes moaned, deep in his throat. He moved his hips back, sinking his ass onto Evan’s fingers, fucking himself harder and faster.
“I need…I need…” He panted.
Evan pulled his fingers free. He lined his cock up, the spongy mushroomed head kissing Reyes’s hole. Evan could feel Reyes’s muscles clench in anticipation and he paused for a moment, building the desire to a fever pitch. He scraped his teeth against Evan’s shoulder and the man shivered, his body jerking.
“Fuck me!”
Evan slowly sank his cock into Reyes’s ass while sinking his teeth into the flesh of Reyes’s shoulder.
They both groaned. Evan swallowed a mouthful of his True Match’s blood, burying his length deep inside of Reyes’s body. The feeling was indescribable. Absolute perfection. Reyes’s ass squeezed his cock, his inner muscles tightening around Evan’s shaft. He licked the bite mark, closing the wound.
“You feel so good.” Evan slowly drove his cock into Reyes’s ass. He wrapped his arms around his True Match, pumping his hips in a gentle rhythm. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.” Reyes ran his blunt nails against Evan’s hip. When Evan picked up his pace, Reyes tossed his head back against Evan’s shoulder and moaned in pleasure. “Ah…ah…ah…” Sexy little sounds spilled from Reyes’s lips.
Evan picked up his pace, moving faster, fucking Reyes harder, until he was practically breathless. He held Reyes close, their bodies connected as he swiveled his hips, drilling his cock into Reyes’s ass.
He slid his right hand down Reyes’s hip to his hard cock. Evan wrapped his palm around the base of Reyes’s shaft and stroked the engorged flesh. Reyes’s body tensed, the muscles tightening before his body jerked. Reyes called out his name, a loud shout that echoed around the room. The scent of Reyes’s release tickled his nose a
nd Evan picked up the pace, changing his rhythm as he chased after his own orgasm. His balls pulled up tight to his groin. White bursts of light flashed behind his eyelids and a wave of energy rushed through is system.
“Reyes!” He cried out, pounding his shaft harder into Reyes, as he emptied every last drop of cum into his True Match.
Evan’s entire body shuddered, his toes curling, goose bumps covering his flesh. He wrapped his arms around Reyes, holding him tight. Closing his eyes, Evan nuzzled Reyes’s neck, kissing every bit of exposed skin he could reach. They laid together in silence, their bodies connected.
The day replayed through his mind. He couldn’t get the image of the gun against Reyes’s head out of his mind. Just thinking about losing Reyes, made it hard for him to breathe. I almost lost you. Evan tightened his hold, crushing Reyes.
“I don’t ever want to live in a world without you.” The words tumbled out of his mouth before he could even think clearly.
Craning his neck, Reyes twisted his body around awkwardly. “You won’t, I promise. I went with Devin because I thought I could trust him. When I realized what he really wanted, I tried to leave, but he wouldn’t let me. I knew you would find me though. I knew you would come for me.”
Evan ran his hand along Reyes’s jaw, caressing his cheek.
He rose up and connected their lips, slowly moving his mouth against Reyes’s. He put all his emotions into the kiss. I love you. I was so scared that I was going to lose you. I need you by my side for the rest of my life.
“I love you.”
Reyes smiled. “I love you, too.”
“Go to sleep.”
Reyes yawned, nodding. He laid his head back down and snuggled in close.
* * * *
Reyes woke up warm and safe. He inhaled deeply, and Evan’s scent wrapped around him like a tight hug. Smiling, Reyes slowly opened his eyes and stared straight into Evan’s sleeping face. His True Match lay beside him, their bodies tangled together in the blankets. Reyes watched Evan as he slept. He looked like a choirboy gone bad with his sweet face, plump lips, and messy blond hair.
He memorized Evan’s face with his eyes before running his fingertip along his lips. Evan moaned as he shifted, rolling onto his back. Reyes waited for him to wake up, but Evan didn’t, he continued to sleep. Reyes carefully pushed the blankets back and sat up. He pushed the material away, his eyes roaming up and down Evan’s beautiful body. With his hard muscles, hairless body, and pure skin, Evan could easily be a Michelangelo marble sculpture.
Reyes’s eyes dropped down to Evan’s cock and he licked his lips. He hadn’t had the pleasure yet. Moving to his hands and knees, Reyes crawled between Evan’s thighs. He placed his hands on either side of Evan’s hips and leaned forward, running his nose along Evan’s groin. He inhaled Evan’s masculine scent and moaned, his mouth watering, desperate for a taste.
Reyes ran his tongue down Evan’s shaft, swirling it around the head of his cock, before gently nibbling on the mushroomed cap. Evan’s dick jerked, hardening.
“Oh…Reyes…yeah, baby…” Evan groaned, his voice still groggy from sleep.
Reyes wrapped his fist around the base of Evan’s shaft, slowly jacking his cock, moving his hand up and down. He opened his mouth wide, wrapping his lips around the man’s cock.
“Oh…oh…oh…” Sensual sounds poured from Evan’s lips as he bucked his hips.
It seemed that Evan was fully awake now.
Reyes grinned around Evan’s cock. He bobbed his head, taking more of Evan’s length into his mouth in each downward stroke. When Reyes swallowed, taking the entire length down his throat, Evan shoved his fingers through his hair. He gripped the strands, forcing Reyes to stop as he moved his hips, fucking Reyes’s mouth. Reyes opened wide and relaxed his throat, allowing Evan to take over. Saliva dribbled down his chin as Evan moved faster, and Reyes groaned.
“I’m gonna…oh, baby…swallow me…” Evan said as he came down Reyes’s throat.
Reyes swallowed down every drop of Evan’s spunk. When Evan’s hand fell away from the back of Reyes’s head, he glanced up and his eyes landed on Evan’s.
“You’re so beautiful,” he said and Reyes grinned.
This was only just the beginning of their relationship, but Reyes was looking forward to waking up beside his True Match each and every day. His heart, which had taken a terrible battering over the years, opened wide to accept Evan. The other vampire was meant to be his and Reyes belonged to Evan as well. Their connection although new, didn’t feel that way. They were old souls made to be the other’s perfect match.
Reyes kissed the head of Evan’s cock. He moved up the man’s body, kissing and licking, as he inched his way upward. Reyes lay on top of Evan, connecting their naked bodies. Leaning down, Reyes took Evan’s lips in a wild kiss. Their tongues danced and swirled.
“Mmm…” Evan wrapped his arms around Reyes, holding him close.
When Evan’s cell phone started ringing, buzzing across the side table, Reyes reluctantly pulled back. He started to move off of Evan, but the man stopped him with a firm hand on his hip.
“Don’t move,” he growled.
Evan reached over and grabbed his cell phone. “Yeah.” He paused and Reyes heard something about a meeting in the conference room.
Reyes sighed in disappointment. He didn’t want Evan go back to work. He wasn’t ready to say good-bye, not yet.
“No.” Evan placed a quick peck on Reyes’s lips, surprising him. He stared into Reyes’s eyes as he smiled. “I can’t make it in today. I’m spending time with my True Match. In fact, you won’t be able to reach me for a while. I need to take some time off.” He ended the call without another word and powered off his phone, dropping the device to the floor.
Evan rolled over, putting Reyes on his back. “It’s my turn.” He winked.
Reyes wiggled under Evan’s weight. His cock was hard and aching, begging for attention. Pulling his lower lip into his mouth, Reyes bit down and moaned. Evan ran his tongue and the sharp points of his teeth along the column of Reyes’s throat.
“Bite me.” Reyes tilted his head, exposing his jugular vein.
Evan sank his teeth into Reyes’s neck. He felt the gentle pull of Evan’s lips, and shivered. It felt like Evan’s mouth was connected to his hard shaft instead of his neck. As he drank, Reyes slowly lost his mind. Reyes started moving his hips, twisting and rubbing against Evan, trying to create more friction on his needy shaft. A strong climax tingled at the base of his spine and he knew without a doubt he wouldn’t be able to prevent himself from coming. When Evan moaned against his throat, Reyes jerked his hips upward and came, hot jets of spunk filling the space between their bodies.
Reyes panted as tiny little spasms shook his body. When he opened his eyes, Evan was lazily licking his neck, sealing the wound.
Evan leaned back. He stared at Reyes as he licked his lips, catching a stray drop of blood on the corner of his mouth. His eyes were blazing, the green shining bright. “You’re so tasty.”
He placed open mouthed kisses down Reyes’s neck and chest. Evan stared at Reyes as he stuck out his tongue and licked up Reyes’s cum, moaning in delight.
“I’m keeping you in bed all day and all night, love. I’m not going to stop until pass out,” Evan promised and Reyes grinned.
He was looking forward to hours and hours of Evan’s undivided attention.
Evan flipped Reyes over, placing him on his hands and knees. The man overwhelmed him—touching, kissing, nibbling, and biting. Evan sank his teeth into every major vein, taking small sips of blood, as he marked and claimed Reyes’s entire body.
Hours later, or it could’ve been days, Reyes wasn’t sure. He finally collapsed onto the bed exhausted and worn out. His eyes closed without his permission, his body going limp.
I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with this man.
Reyes smiled. The future had never looked so good. Darkness surrounded him and Reyes fell asleep.
Epilogue
One Week Later
Evan sat at the round table inside the conference room. Glancing over his shoulder, he grinned at Reyes and winked. His True Match responded in kind, a content smile on his lips, and a sparkle in his eyes. The memory of their first night together flashed inside Evan’s mind—the night he’d marked and claimed his True Match—and he knew without a doubt that Reyes was thinking the same thing. Evan wiggled his brows and Reyes pulled his lower lip into his mouth, preventing a laugh from escaping. A warm, tingling sensation filled Evan’s heart. The day his eyes landed on Reyes, Evan’s entire world shifted and everything changed. His heart beat for Reyes.
“Good morning,” Abram said.
Evan blew Reyes a kiss before turning his focus back to the meeting. The leader of the FPA strode into the conference room, followed by a young man Evan didn’t recognize. Evan stared at the kid—who looked to be around twenty years old—and sized him up. He was a fox shifter with shaggy, copper colored hair, and bright blue eyes.
“This is Toby Winters.” Abram introduced the kid and Evan nodded toward him in greeting. “He’s joining the team.”
Evan’s brows furrowed in confusion. He wanted to interrupt the boss and ask a few questions. Mainly, who the fuck was this kid and how was he qualified to join the FPA? But he didn’t say a word. Abram was in charge and if the man believed that Toby was qualified, then Evan wouldn’t object.
“London has decided to stay in Los Angeles indefinitely. Toby is from their office and volunteered to transfer to New York.”
Evan sighed in disappointment. He was slightly concerned that London wasn’t coming back, but he couldn’t say he was really surprised. She had been talking about leaving the agency in New York for years. The other vampire was a force of nature and she created a lot of drama on purpose, looking for negative reactions. Evan never could understand why she behaved that way, but figured she had her reasons. He just hoped that she would find some happiness in Los Angeles.
