Especially with all of those hard muscles currently pressed against every inch of his front. It took a moment of solid thinking to get his words right, because damn it all, his brain did not want to work.
“Your name,” he managed to get out. “It would be really nice to know your name before we go any further.”
“Kyle,” Kyle mumbled, sniffing deep into his neck, before tracing delicious little nips all the way up his neck.
“That’s Master Kyle to you,” a snotty little voice said to the side of the two men. Oh right, the over processed blond that seemed hell bent on offering himself to his mate – well, not in Teric’s lifetime. It seemed Kyle had the same idea.
“I already told you it’s not gonna happen, Will, now rack off,” Kyle snarled, and oh, if that sound didn’t just wend its merry way straight down Teric’s back and into his balls. Between the snarl and the amazing scent of his mate, Teric was two tugs from coming in his pants.
“He’s not even a wolf shifter.” Fuck, Will was persistent and it was starting to piss Teric off. He might be shorter than Kyle, at only five foot ten, and to look at, he didn’t have a lot of strength, but more than one shifter had underestimated one of the Council’s best troubleshooters.
“I’m a cat,” he said with a glare over his shoulder, “And you are interfering where you are not wanted. Now piss off before I tear you to shreds.” Turning to Kyle who was still glaring at Will, Teric ran a hand over that gorgeous angel face, forcing Kyle’s attention back to him – where it should be.
“Do you have somewhere private we can go,” he said quietly. Teric wanted his big, dark wolf to fuck him. He didn’t really care if his mate wanted to lay him out in the middle of the club, but given that this would be their first time together, he preferred if it was done in private.
Kyle’s dark eyes bore into his for one long minute, and then the wolf shifter turned, dragging Teric behind him. The plaintive cry of “Master Kyle,” rang out across the room, but Kyle didn’t seem to care. Teric had to admire the wolf’s tenacity. Give the man a mission and he went for it.
Other wolves tried to stop him, talk to him, but Kyle didn’t falter. His strong arm around Teric’s back and his hulking shape ensured that no one actually came near Teric at all and Teric was quietly pleased his new mate was so protective. Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to think it wouldn’t cause them a few problems down the line, but for now, it was nice.
It seemed like an age, but was probably only a few minutes later, that Kyle dragged him down a long hallway, and into a room. Well, Teric thought it would be a room, but it actually proved to be a small, self-contained suite. But Kyle didn’t give him any chance to check out the décor. The wolf had him pinned up against the door, his bulk effortlessly keeping Teric in place.
“It’s been four long fucking days. You have no idea how much I need you right now,” Kyle growled as he bent his head and took Teric’s lips.
About as much as I need you, Teric thought, happily surrendering to the man who would be his for life.
Chapter Three
Kyle expected to feel something when he took Teric’s lips for the first time. The man was his true mate after all. But the pleasure he experienced as lips touched lips was beyond sublime. Teric had perfectly shaped lips, etched into a lean face. The soft, plump sweetness of the man’s mouth opened beneath him, and damn if the man didn’t melt against Kyle’s body. Whether intentional or not, Teric submitted to him beautifully and Kyle’s wolf rushed to the fore, keen to bite and claim what was his.
Kyle didn’t want to be rushed though. Too many of his sexual encounters were exactly that, rushed. Gone into, with just the end goal in sight and no time taken to savor what was actually in front of him. He wanted this encounter – their first time, to be so much more.
So instead of plundering Teric’s mouth as he wanted to, Kyle took the time to savor it. Oh. My. God. He was so glad he did. Just kissing Teric was an orgasmic experience. The soft flavor of rum truffles hinted at on the lips Kyle lovingly sucked between his own. The delicious moans that fell from those pliant lips. As Kyle ran his tongue along the seam of Teric’s mouth, those same lips parted effortlessly, giving Kyle access to the warmth inside.
Which was an absolute haven. Kyle’s taste buds caught a hint of sweetness as he ran his tongue along the side of Teric’s. Teric sucked on his tongue briefly, encouraging a fucking action that Kyle was happy to provide. Teric’s breathing had quickened and the man made the most sensual noises as Kyle tongue fucked him. Those noises, along with the hard body, still clothed, that Kyle ran his big hands over, were driving Kyle insane – and he was loving every minute of it.
Teric wasn’t exactly subtle about his own desire either. The sexy cat shifter has wrapped his legs firmly around Kyle’s hips, bringing their cocks together in a frustrating fashion. His lean, strong arms were wrapped just as firmly around Kyle’s neck, one hand threaded through the back of Kyle’s hair, the other splayed down between his shoulders. Keeping up his oral assault, Kyle took advantage of his mate’s ability to hang on and moved them away from the door. It was time to find the bed.
Sitting on the California King bed, that all of the Bound and Bonded suites had, Kyle finally pulled his lips away from Teric’s and looked in wonder at the man the Fates had given him. Teric’s bright green eyes had darkened with passion and were now like Chinese Jade – dark green with flecks of grey and yellow. The nostrils on Teric’s cute little nose were flared. His lips were now bright red, puffy and slightly opened as Teric quietly panted.
“Why did you stop?” That sensuous mouth asked.
“I want to undress you,” Kyle said simply.
Teric made to get off of Kyle’s lap, probably to take care of removing his own clothes, but Kyle didn’t let him go right at that moment. Teric gave a small laugh, saying, “I would have thought, you being a Master and all, that I would be ordered to strip for you, rather than you remove my clothes yourself.”
“It’s not something I’ve done before,” Kyle admitted as he encouraged Teric to stand between his parted thighs. This close, Kyle could see the clear outline of Teric’s hardened cock through the cloth of his black pants, and he couldn’t resist mouthing that shaft through the fabric, breathing out hard through his mouth. Teric shivered and moaned, a guttural sound that echoed in Kyle’s balls. Kyle knew he was on the right track.
Carefully unbuttoning Teric’s black fitted shirt, Kyle took his time uncovering a lean muscled body covered in lightly tanned skin. Teric had the V-shape that Kyle adored, broader in the shoulder, impressive biceps for a man of his size, and that trim waist and hips that drove Kyle crazy. As Kyle mouthed over the revealed skin, Teric moaned again, but did nothing more than stand there, his hands resting lightly on Kyle’s shoulders, his eyes avidly watching Kyle’s every move.
“You have gorgeous skin,” Kyle offered as he slipped Teric’s shirt off those lovely shoulders.
“It would look better with your marks on it,” Teric said softly and damn if those words didn’t inflame Kyle further. Stifling a groan against Teric’s torso, Kyle mouthed his way down the perfect six pack, to the hollows of the hips, barely covered by the pants the man was still wearing.
Wrapping his hands around Teric’s sides, Kyle mouthed at Teric’s cock, so clearly outlined by the pants. Even through the cloth Kyle could feel the heat of Teric’s length, the pulsating beat as his mate got impossibly harder. Suddenly Kyle had to see – he had to see Teric’s cock for himself. Quick sure hands took care of button and zipper. As soon as the zipper gave way, Kyle buried his face in the heat of Teric’s crotch, breathing in the intense scent of his mate.
Clean male, a hint of soap and the smell of rum truffles that was Teric’s unique scent signature. What a delicious combination. Kyle buried his nose in the trimmed pubes that surrounding the shaft, of what looked like an impressive cock and breathed deep. He could feel Teric’s shaft throb against his cheek bone and seconds later Teric moaned, “
God Kyle, if you don’t do something soon, I’ll come without you.”
Kyle grinned. He felt all powerful, getting off on the idea that Teric was so turned on by the gentle things he was doing, but he took the warning for the truth it was. Foregoing the desire to swallow Teric’s length down his throat, instead Kyle turned him, gently peeling those tight black pants off a muscular but rounded ass.
“Perfect baby,” he murmured, before running his tongue down Teric’s crack, causing the man to moan and push back against his face.
“I’m made for you,” Teric panted harshly, grinding back into Kyle’s face again. “Now fucking show me why.”
Hmm, bossy. Kyle grinned again. He would let it go, this first time, but sooner or later his little cat shifter was going to learn who the boss was in their relationship. But for now the needs of his own cock, and his wolf, who was more than impatient with Kyle’s shift from his usual rough play, took precedence.
“I’m getting there babe,” he said. Tonguing Teric’s crack was fun, but teasing the man’s hole was better. Settling his lips around Teric’s rim, Kyle sucked harshly, causing Teric to yell out. Holding Teric firmly, so that his prize couldn’t get away, Kyle tongued and nibbled until Teric’s hole was red, spit shined and fluttering. Only when he was satisfied that he wouldn’t hurt the man on the end of his tongue, did he insert his first finger.
Teric’s muscles resisted him at first, but they gave under Kyle’s persistence. Soon Teric was moaning loudly, pushing back on that finger and begging for more. Recognizing he would need lube, so as to not cause his mate any damage, Kyle maneuvered Teric until he was kneeling on the bed, his ass at the perfect height for Kyle’s face, and later his cock. Grabbing the lube, left on the bedside table, Kyle went to work loosening, scissoring and finger fucking Teric’s hole.
The man was beautiful in his passion. A faint sheen of sweat covered Teric’s back, giving the skin a healthy glow. His legs and buttocks were sturdy enough to take a pounding, and yet slim, just the way Kyle liked them. Kyle’s nostrils were filled with the smell of rum truffles and Teric’s arousal, and as he took note of how tight and hard his mate’s balls were against his skin, he realized he had to replace his fingers with his cock. Neither one of them could wait any longer.
Slicking up quickly, Kyle nudged the head of his cock against Teric’s behind. “You know when I do this, I’ll claim you,” he said roughly, his need to give his mate a choice, only just outweighing his desire to fuck and bite.
Teric threw him a sinful grin over his shoulder, and then without warning pushed back and impaled himself on Kyle’s cock. Taking him in one fucking go. How the hell did the sneaky little cat shifter do that? Kyle didn’t know. And then he didn’t really care, because seconds later his brain caught up and the sensations of heat, perfection and a sense of total rightness hit him in the balls. He quickly grabbed hold of Teric’s hips to stop any further movement. If Teric so much as twitched, Kyle was going to blow and it would be the shortest claiming in the history of shifters.
“Are you ready to be claimed?” Kyle demanded again, determined to get a verbal answer, and praying Teric would be quick about it.
/~/~/~/~/
His head hung down between his shoulders, as he knelt on all fours on the bed impaled by Kyle’s cock, so Teric knew that his mate couldn’t see his grin. It seemed Master Kyle needed verbal assurance before he would do anything, and while it was in Teric’s nature to tease the man, with his ass full and the need for his own climax riding his cat, Teric didn’t have it in him to drag things out any further. Clenching his rectal muscles around the length inside of him, Teric moaned out, “Yes. Make me yours,” and took a deep breath.
He was so glad of that breath because seconds later Kyle had pulled out and punched back in him, knocking any spare breath from his body. Figuring it would be one hell of a ride, Teric gripped the comforter on the bed tightly, locked his knees up as best as he could and pushed back. He wasn’t disappointed.
Kyle fucked him like it was an Olympic event and the man was going for gold. Starting slow, it didn’t take long for Kyle to speed up, the power and frequency of his thrusts stealing Teric’s breath and sending his brain flying. He rarely had sex with a shifter, and never with a wolf, and it would seem the rumors of speed, stamina and pure need floating around about wolf shifters was completely true. Kyle didn’t just fuck him. He possessed Teric completely and Teric knew that he could get addicted to his mate very quickly. It wasn’t just the speed and power – the self-assuredness of his mate was like catnip for Teric and he wanted all he could get.
The grunts and skin slapping sounds, reverberating around the room, got more frantic, and Teric knew that Kyle must be close to coming. Fuck, he wanted to come so badly his balls hurt, but he found that sort of thing difficult without at least a hand on his dick. He went to drop down onto his elbows, so he could get one of his own hands underneath him, but Kyle stopped him, pulling him upwards instead, his back now firmly against his mate’s broad chest. Damn, the strength in his man was incredible.
“I’ve got you,” Kyle promised as a big hand came around and shafted his cock, the solid grip exactly what Teric was looking for. Letting out a long groan, Teric rocked between the hand and the cock in his ass, his inevitable climax sweeping through his body. Kyle’s thrusts became erratic as the man rutted against him and without warning Teric felt the unmistakable sensation of long teeth in his neck. That was all it took.
With a cry that was more of a yowl, Teric let his climax overtake him, feeling the long strands of his come, spill from his cock, onto Kyle’s hands and the comforter below him. Inside he felt Kyle’s cock swell, followed by the sensation of warmth as his mate spilled inside of him. Around them the two spirits, one wolf, one cat, greeted each other and then joined, binding the two men together for eternity. For better or for worse, Teric and Kyle were mated.
Chapter Four
Waking up to a warm, wet mouth wrapped around your cock was not the worst way to start the day. Kyle groaned and stretched out his legs as the suction on his cock grew more insistent and he opened bleary eyes to see Teric, peering up at him. Those crystal green eyes were filled with mischief, but Kyle wasn’t going to complain. If this was what it was like to be mated then he was all for it. Cupping a hand through Teric’s wavy black curls, he gently thrust up into that hot mouth.
“Yeah, just like that, baby. Suck me down and make me come,” he growled. Okay, so he might sound like a second rate porn star, but there was only he and Teric in the room and Teric didn’t seem to mind, given that he was doing what he was told. Moments later, after one insistent swallow after the other, Kyle groaned loudly, and shouted, “oh, yeah,” as he spilled his spunk down Teric’s throat.
Smiling up at him, Teric gently licked his cock until it was clean and then came up beside him on the bed. Remembering his manners, and because hey, Teric was his mate and not a hook up, Kyle managed to gesture down. “Do you need me to…?”
“I already came, lover,” Teric said without a shred of self-consciousness and damn it all, if that didn’t make Kyle feel even better about himself. A guy that got off just from sucking his dick. Life couldn’t get more perfect than that. Wrapping his arms around Teric’s shoulder, Kyle pulled the smaller man in for a kiss, loving the taste of his come in Teric’s mouth. Hmm, his little mate was becoming addictive already.
The sound of a phone alarm going off had Kyle cursing. Shit, with all that had happened, he had completely forgotten about the Alpha’s meeting. He had less than ten minutes to get his ass dressed and down to Pearson’s office or he was going to have some serious explaining to do. Pearson didn’t take kindly to any of his enforcers being late.
Regretfully, Kyle pulled his lips from his mate. “Gotta meeting, babe. Probably only be for an hour or so. Be here when I get back okay, and we’ll take up from where we left off.”
Forcing himself to move, Kyle, slipped out of bed and pulled a pair of leathers out of his bag. At
least he didn’t have to wear jeans anymore, now he was on his home turf. A t-shirt slipped over his head, boots on his feet and he was ready to go. He turned to see Teric looking at him with a troubled expression on that cute little face.
“Kyle, I should probably tell you…” Teric started to say, but Kyle’s phone alarm went off again and he pulled it from his pocket, taking a look at the time.
“Sorry baby, only got five minutes to get there. Keep the bed warm and I’ll be back as quick as I can.” Dropping a rushed kiss on Teric’s forehead, Kyle strode from the room without a backward glance. The sight of his mate, all warm and sexy in that bed was enough to make him want to brush off the Alpha and go back and take that sexy ass again. But Kyle was loyal to his pack, and besides, it would be a really dumb move to piss off Pearson. Especially when he had his new mate to introduce to his pack. Humming quietly to himself, Kyle headed off to the Alpha’s office. With any luck he could have a few moments to speak to Pearson after the meeting was over.
Back in the room they had shared, Teric stared at the closed door and said, “Well, maybe I have a meeting to go to as well, dumbass, did that ever occur to you? Obviously not, Master Kyle.” Deciding that while his new mate might be sex personified, and boy, his ass could definitely attest to that fact, Teric was still annoyed he hadn’t had the chance to talk to Kyle about why he was here in Washington, and what he actually did for a living. The fact that his mate figured he would be happy to keep the sheets warm all day, while he went off to his meeting, was not a good look for their long term relationship.
Resolving to think about it later, Teric hopped out of bed and found his phone, in the pocket of his discarded pants. Almost 9 am. More than enough time to dress, pop out to the house he was staying at and get a change of clothes and still be back at the club for his meeting with the Alpha at ten thirty. Hopefully he could get his meeting over and done with quickly and find time to talk to Kyle before he had to do any actual work. Telling your new mate that you were a troubleshooter, a euphemism in shifter circles for assassin, could be a little bit dicey.
