Lifting Tail for the Alpha

by Jenika Snow

  “You have no idea how many times I thought about spreading your ass and licking your hole.” The air left Xav in a whoosh, and he closed his eyes at the first feel of Arsen sliding his mouth back and forth along his lower back.

  “Ugh.” Xav strained and tensed when Arsen grabbed his balls in one large hand and rolled them in his palm. After several agony and ecstasy filled seconds of Arsen toying with him, his mate let go of his balls and gripped his shaft. Up and down he stroked the length, making him harder and slicker at the tip. He ran the pad of his thumb over the slit at the crown of his dick, spread his pre-cum around until Xav was grunting in pleasure, and then moved his face down lower so his warm breath was now right on his nuts. A strangled groan left him when the wolf lapped at the weights, sucked them into his mouth, and then let them go with a resounding pop. Xav’s bobcat was right at the surface, purring and clawing, hissing and rubbing up against his skin in hopes of coming out. He wanted to take the wolf and show him that he was also an alpha, but Xav liked what was happening too much, and relinquishing power felt fucking exquisite.

  “Christ, your fucking skin is salty and sweet.” Arsen covered Xav’s back with his chest and whispered harshly in his ear, “And I am so damn hard I could drive nails through steel right now.”

  “Just do it already.” Xav looked over his shoulder, pressed his ass into Arsen’s cock, and bared his teeth at his mate. “Fuck me, wolf.” Arsen grabbed the back of his neck, and curled his fingers into his flesh until a sting of pain lanced through Xav. He leaned in close so they were nose-to-nose and bared his own teeth. Arsen was already losing control, and that was evident by the canines that he flashed Xav’s way.

  “Watch it, mate. I’m barely holding on as it is.” He lapped at the seam of Xav’s lips.

  “I’m also barely fucking holding on. So if you’re going to fuck me, then do it.” Arsen gave a low growl in response, tightened his fingers into his nape, but finally leaned back.

  “I’ll fuck you when I’m good and ready to. Right now what I want to do requires my mouth and not my fucking cock.” Xav didn’t answer, because in reality this tug and pull of dominance turned him the fuck on. Arsen slammed his open palm on first the right cheek of Xav’s ass, and then the left. The sound of skin slapping against skin rebounded off the walls, but it was never ending because Arsen kept spanking him over and over again. Blood rushed to the surface of his flesh from the erotic abuse, and although Arsen wasn’t gentle, but put his strength behind every blow, it felt fucking painful and pleasurable all in the same breath. “That’s it. You like what I do to you. You like every fucking thing I do, and you want more, don’t you, baby?” Xav didn’t answer fast enough because Arsen spanked his ass even harder, causing a guttural grunt to leave both of them.

  “You fucking know I like it. Quit being a sadistic asshole and fuck me already.”

  Arsen was breathing heavily, his gaze trained on his. “I might be sadistic, but you are one hell of a masochist.” He slapped his ass once more, as if solidifying his last words. In the next second he spread Xav’s cheeks, lowered his face to the exposed hole, and slowly stuck his tongue out. He kept his gaze trained on his, but Xav couldn’t keep his eyes open when Arsen started licking at his anus, twirling his tongue around the tight hole right before he pushed it in.

  “Fuck.” Xav curled his fingers into the sheets, pulled at the material when Arsen started to thrust his tongue in and out of him, and dig his claws into his flesh. He’d have bruises and broken skin in the morning, but he wanted to be marked by the male, wanted the proof of what they had done when he looked in the mirror. And Xav wanted to leave those same intimately fierce marks on Arsen. Then Arsen broke the suction and fucking with his mouth and moved back to Xav’s disappointment. Arsen moved away for only a second, and when the heat of his body penetrated Xav’s once more, he knew what was about to happen. The wolf spread his ass with one hand, and then the first chilled drops of lube were dripping into the crease and coating his hole. Once his ass was good and primed Arsen pressed the thick tip of his erection at the opening of Xav’s ass.

  “God, I am going to do you so good and hard, baby, that there won’t be a doubt in your fucking mind that you’re mine.” This whole situation was spontaneous, insane, but so damn good that it seemed surreal. Slowly he started to push himself into Xav’s ass.

  He gritted his teeth, as the discomfort was breathtaking, but it also felt so fucking good that clear, slick pre-cum trickled from his cock and dripped in long, sticky strings onto the bed. His mate pushed another inch into him, stretching him, claiming him and making Xav realize he would never be the same after this.

  “It’s so fucking good, Xavier.”

  The prick of Arsen’s claws slicing through the skin at his waist drove him absolutely mad with lust. The pain mixed with pleasure until it was one rolling wave continuously flowing over and over inside of him. Arsen pushed and pushed until he finally bottomed out inside of him. Xav growled low in his throat when Arsen’s balls slapped against his, sending a shockwave of arousal right up the length of his dick. Their flesh was slick with sweat, and his mate curled his huge body over his and started thrusting back and forth, sliding in and out of his ass while all the while slowly increasing his speed.

  “Fuck me.” Xav didn’t hide the fact his animal was right at the surface, growling and clawing to be acknowledged. Arsen must be able to sense it because he gave his own responding roar. But before things started to get too intense Arsen pulled out of him. They both grunted, and Xav looked at Arsen sharply. “What the fuck?”

  Arsen didn’t respond, just looked into Xav’s eyes and gritted out, “Baby, I need to feel you raw.” A bead of sweat dripped from Arsen’s hairline. “I’ve always been protected, baby, but I have to feel you are around me. Tell me it’s good, Xav. Tell me you want that, too.” Xav was unbelievably turned on. But the very thought of not having anything between him and his mate was a sensory overload.

  “I fucking want all of you, Arsen.” His mate gave a low rumble, and then he was sliding right back into his ass. Their nuts slapped together, and Xav reached between his body to take hold of his dick and jerk himself, but Arsen pushed his hand away and grabbed hold of his cock, pulling and tugging at it until Xav felt his impending orgasm rush to the surface. He fucked him good and slow, keeping his motions steady and having Xav right on the brink of coming, but not spilling over. But right when that pleasure was finally about to erupt and bathe the mattress beneath him in his cum, Arsen pulled out. Before he could curse the wolf, his mate had him flipped on his back, placed his hands on his inner thighs, and pushed Xav’s legs up and back until his knees rested on his chest. He had his cock right back inside of him in one slow even stroke that had both of them groaning in unison.

  “That’s it, baby.” He pumped slowly. “Touch yourself. Stroke that big fucking cock until you come all over those hard fucking abs.” He really started pounding into him then held onto the back of his thighs in a bruising grip as he watched his dick slide in and out of his ass. Xav’s inner muscles clenched around Arsen, which had the male roaring out and working his hips faster and harder, pumping into him like he was a damn machine. “Milk it, baby, milk my shaft like you are dying for my cum.”

  Holy shit, Arsen was a dirty fucking talker in bed. Xav loved it, and wanted more. He took hold of himself and started jerking off. Running his palm up and down his erection, the slick fluids coming from the tip of him made his motions slippery. He was so close to getting that his stomach tensed. Right before he roared out that he was about to explode and come all over his chest, Arsen was grunting out in pleasure.

  “That’s it, Xav.” He slammed into him once, twice, and on the third time groaned. “Come for me.” Xav’s canines came out in full force, but when he looked at Arsen he saw the same wild need reflected in his eyes. At the same time Arsen moved toward Xav’s neck, he did the same to his mate. Right when Xav was on the peak of coming he sank his teeth into Arsen, and groaned
out when his mate did the same to the side of his throat. They were connected in every possible way. Xavier pulled away, lapped at the small wound, and felt Arsen do the same. He tilted his head back, felt every tendon and in his neck stretch from the force, and came harder than he ever had in his life. His orgasm went on and on, and when he heard Arsen pant out that he wanted Xav to open his eyes, and to look at him, he had to find the strength to do just that. But God was he glad he did. Arsen was over him, his hands right by his head, his biceps flexed, and his six-pack on full display as he came with such force his wolf flashed across his face. Droplets of his sweat fell onto Xav’s chest, and he rose up and trailed one of the descending beads with his tongue.

  “Fuck, baby, fuck here I come.” The low rumble that came from Arsen was all wolf. That knot at the base of his mate’s dick started to swell, locking him in place as he came hard. He jerked his hips, not able to do full length strokes with the knotting going on, but the pleasure never ending. Xav’s spunk was splattered along his chest, cooling on his overheated body. All the while he stared into Arsen’s face, felt the hard, powerful jets of his hot cum filling him, and of his cock thickening to the point of pain inside of him, all Xav could think of was that he wanted more.

  It took several minutes for the knot to reduce in swelling, and when it finally did Arsen rolled off, a strangled sound leaving him. They lay side-by-side, breathing heavily, and neither of them saying anything. Despite the thinking that things might get a bit awkward seeing as they had attacked each other in a carnal, fierce manner, there was nothing but comfortable silence.

  “What now?” Although Xavier was more on the quiet side, he wasn’t about to beat around the bush regarding this. He pushed up and rested his weight on his elbows. Looking over at Arsen who lay naked in all his glory, his softening cock still impressive in size resting on his thigh, and slick with lube and cum, had an arm thrown over his eyes, Xav couldn’t help the tightening in his chest. The male was gorgeous beyond words, but it wasn’t just about the physical aspect of it. He had been watching Arsen from afar for years, and although he couldn’t say he loved the male, or even had deep affection for him, Xav did care about him. They were also mates, which made his feelings shape and twist into something that was mystical and confusing at times. They had grown up in the same pack, gone to the same school, and for as long as Xav could remember he had desired Arsen. Now it all made sense as to why he had felt so drawn to the other male. It may not have started off sexual in nature, but he had always felt something for this male. Arsen must have sensed his stare because he lowered his arm and turned his head to stare at him. Nothing was said for several long moments, and then Arsen finally pushed up so he was in a sitting position.

  “Now we start from the beginning.” Xav wasn’t sure what Arsen meant, but he didn’t make him wonder long. “You’re my mate, Xav, the one that was made for me in every conceivable way.” Arsen let his eyes travel up and down his body before looking back into his eyes. “It had taken just that one kiss, that one touch for me to realize what you are to me, and there is no fucking way I am going to just have this be a one-night stand. And there is no damn way I am going to let you walk away from me or what is between us.” Before he could respond Arsen leaned over and planted a long, slow and teasing kiss on his lips. “Let me clean up, get you cleaned up, and then I’d like to leave the party, take you back to my place, and fuck you until the sun comes up.” He leaned in and kissed him again. Arsen went to stand, but Xav reached out and grabbed hold of his wrist.

  “You know the alpha and the council probably aren’t going to be okay with this.”

  The smile Arsen gave Xav was one of reassurance. “Baby, there is nothing and no one that will keep me from you. Besides, my father knows enough about finding a mate and how important that is.”

  “You’re arranged to Tabitha, Arsen. Parting ways with her and being with me will surely cause a rift with the council.” Arsen was still smiling, and Xavier wanted to know what in the fuck was so funny.

  “This isn’t funny shit, Arsen. You’re going to stand there and tell me no one will be pissed, and that the alpha will just be okay with his son, the future alpha, breaking the arranged marriage to the alpha bitch? Not only that, but he’ll have no problems with the future alpha’s mate being a male, or a bobcat at that?” Incredulity was laced in Xav’s voice. Arsen gave him a cocky smile.

  “Nah, baby. This mating will surely piss off a lot of fucking people, but the one person that will understand it more than anyone else is my father. He’s a hard ass, rules with an iron fist, but he would never keep mates from each other, because he would never want to be apart from my mother. Besides, I don’t give a fuck what anyone else thinks. You’re mine. I’m not letting you go, and that’s that.” He kissed him once more before walking back into the bathroom.

  Xav lay back down and stared at the ceiling, his thoughts churning with everything that had transpired. He went to stand, looked down at his cum splattered chest, and curled his lip in disgust, but also with heated arousal as he remembered exactly how he had come all over himself. After several seconds he pushed himself up and went to stand. The bedroom door opened, and he turned just in time to see Tabitha step through.

  Chapter Four

  “Arsen, baby, you in here?” The room was dark, and she glanced around before she inhaled deeply and straightened. Her gaze swung around to where Xav stood naked. He had no shame in the fact he wore no clothing, or the fact he had his cum splattered across his chest, and Arsen’s slipping out of his ass and down his inner thigh. Her eyes narrowed, and her gaze landed on his chest with the evidence of his completion. The scent of sex filled the air, and with them being shifters it was easy enough to pick apart the aroma of where each smell came from. Yeah, she knew he and Arsen had just fucked, and was about a moment away from flipping her shit.

  “Baby, when we get back to my place I plan on fucking the shit out of you in the shower.” Arsen’s voice came through the bathroom, and a second later it opened and he was stepping through naked and wiping off his semi-hard cock with a wet rag. The moment he stepped back in the room he stopped and looked up at where Tabitha stood. The aroma of her rage was tangible.

  “What the fuck is this?” Her anger was directed at Arsen. Although they were arranged to be married, for political purposes more than anything else, they certainly were not a couple. But Xav knew the scent of anger that came from Tabitha was not because she had somehow felt betrayed over these actions, but because she had thought her status within the pack would be elevated immensely by being married to Arsen. And that was true, because being the spouse of the alpha would have made her the alpha bitch, which was clear was her only goal and interest in all of this. There were no scents of affection or hurt toward Arsen, and she had no true feelings for his wolf. There was only the rancid stench of selfishness. “Did you just seriously fuck the bobcat shifter?” She crossed her arms under her breasts and glared at Arsen before turning her disgusted look his way. “What, you fuck him in the ass until he squealed?” Xav’s anger rose to a fierce boiling point, and he curled his hands into fists at his sides. He would never harm a female, but she was going too far with running her mouth.

  “Get the fuck out,” Xav said. She bared her teeth at him, but Xav wasn’t intimidated. He was physically stronger than she was, smarter, too, by the looks of it, but her hatred and vile personality clearly made her weaker in more ways than one.

  “You just fucked the male I am to marry, and you are telling me to get the fuck out?” She turned toward Arsen and said, “Tell him to leave. Tell him that this was all a mistake, and we can move forward. I don’t have to tell the alpha that you’re gay.” The air stilled, and the room heated with the turbulent emotions filling it.

  “You don’t have to tell my father I’m gay?” Arsen’s words were low and deadly, but it was clear Tabitha hadn’t picked up on the underlying threat.

  “No, I don’t. You and I both know this marriage is for pol
itical reasons, to strengthen our pack. If I were to tell the alpha of what you did with another male, it would cause a rift in the structure of our community.” The condescending tone in her voice intensified. “There has never been a recorded account of the alpha of our pack being mated with another male, or from another species, Arsen.”

  When Arsen finally spoke he didn’t hide his anger. “Tabitha, you’ll leave, and don’t you fucking come back.” She parted her lips to speak, but when a dark look settled over his face she snapped her mouth closed. “I am the future alpha of this pack, your future alpha, and you dare threaten me and my mate?” He growled low and deep, and a part of Xav felt something stir inside of him at that sound. It was primal and intense, and so very masculine. Although Tabitha didn’t say anything, there was clear surprise on her face at the word “mate”. Her rage had muddled some of her shifter senses, because she should have been able to sense that connection between him and Arsen instantly.

  “Now, get the fuck out. Go tell whoever you feel the need to tell, because I promise you—” he took a step forward, and the power of being the next alpha in line flowed out of him. “You are the only one that the pack is going to look at with disgust.” He said those words with such clarity, such assurance, that there was no doubt in Xav’s mind that he spoke the truth.

  Tabitha swallowed hard, narrowed her eyes again, and turned to leave. Arsen stalked forward, slammed the bedroom door shut with enough force to shake the pictures on the wall, and then turned and stared at him. They were both nude, and the emotions bouncing between them were strong.

  “Come here, baby.” The pull was too great, and Xav found himself walking toward Arsen. When he was only a foot away Arsen wrapped his hand around his neck and pulled him closer. He expected another passionate kiss, but there was only the feel of strong arms cocooning him, and the feel Arsen’s steady, powerful heartbeat against his chest. The scent of dried blood from the claiming mark Xav had given the wolf filled his nose, and on instinct he lowered his mouth to the puncture wounds and ran his tongue along the two tiny holes. A shiver worked through both of them.
