Quinn closed his lips around the wound. Salt-and-caramel blood slicked his tongue, a burst of flavors that made him reel. Brandon’s blood tasted like life, like power, like home, and Quinn wanted. He sucked down Brandon’s blood, needing more, needing to make this man his.
He rocked his hips forward, thrusting up, and Brandon spread easily for him.
Mine, Quinn thought, needing to push inside. He licked along Brandon’s wound, dragged his hands down Brandon’s sides, grinding his cock between Brandon’s cheeks.
“Up,” Brandon murmured. He slipped a hand between them. Quinn lifted his hips, and Brandon’s cool, slick fingers wrapped around his cock, lubing him up.
Quinn gasped, fucking into his fist. When had Brandon grabbed the lube? Maybe when Quinn had been distracted by his blood. Brandon squeezed his cock, stroked down it, and Quinn moaned, rutting against his callused fingers. He needed to be inside Brandon, needed to stake his claim.
He licked along Brandon’s throat, catching the droplets of blood that trickled down his skin. Brandon released Quinn’s cock, held his legs open, and Quinn rolled his hips, sliding against his hole, pushing in.
Brandon’s body spread for him, hot and slick inside. As though he’d prepared for this earlier. Quinn groaned, his hips snapping forward, a thrill shooting down his spine. “You—you did...”
“Yeah,” Brandon whispered, grasping Quinn’s hips, pulling them snug together. “Wasn’t gonna wait.”
Quinn imagined Brandon lubing himself up in the bathroom, imagined Brandon wanting him inside. Brandon had read his hunger well, had allowed Quinn to bite his throat. He’d given Quinn all of himself, and he was more than Quinn ever thought he’d deserve.
“Gods, I love you,” Quinn gasped, fucking in deep, until he could go no further. Brandon moaned, and Quinn hooked his hands behind Brandon’s knees, bending Brandon’s heavier body beneath his own, burying himself to the hilt. Mine.
Quinn lowered his face to Brandon’s neck, sucking on the wound, his cock throbbing in Brandon’s heat. Brandon stroked his hair, kissed his forehead. How had Quinn ever found this man?
“I—I don’t—” Quinn gasped, Brandon’s blood on his tongue, Brandon’s body tight around his.
“You deserve it,” Brandon whispered, cradling Quinn’s face with his hands. The ring glinted on his finger. “Remember that.”
Then he pulled Quinn close, kissing him softly on the lips. Quinn shuddered, his chest tight with everything he felt for this man.
“I love you,” Brandon whispered into his mouth, his lower lip catching on Quinn’s fangs. Neither of them noticed, because it was just another part of their life now, sharing blood, sharing space, sharing heat.
“L-love you,” Quinn panted, his voice breaking. Then he pushed deep into Brandon, shoving himself closer, until pleasure crashed down on him and Brandon held him through his release, his arms tight around Quinn.
He felt safe like that, Brandon holding him, Brandon’s body wrapped around his. Brandon pulled him close, until Quinn didn’t know where he ended, and Brandon began. It didn’t matter. He cupped Brandon’s cheeks with his hands, kissing him hard, trying to show Brandon everything he felt for him. Brandon returned the kiss just as fiercely.
They were in their own home, safe in their little bubble, and Quinn couldn’t ask for more. He had a man who loved him, a hunter who saw him for who he was, and they’d have their work cut out for them in the days to come. But come what may, Quinn knew one thing.
He had found a home in Brandon, and he would do his best to protect what was his.

Ever since Felix rejected him, Kade's been programming, helping his family out of bankruptcy. Felix had said Kade wasn't rich enough as an alpha, wasn't good enough to marry. Kade still isn't. All he has now: the silver ring he proposed with.
