“I’m not making love to you the first time smelling like the woods and dirt,” I explained when he stared at me like I’d lost it. I smirked at him as I got undressed. He watched me with his mouth hanging open until I was completely naked in front of him and moving under the water. Then I heard seams of clothes tearing as he hurried to catch up.
That was my Rune all right.
I was mostly cleaned up by the time he joined me. I pushed him face-first against the tiles, smiling when he sputtered under the water. “Love, I think you’re extra dirty, somewhere private.” I rubbed my soaped-up hand between his cheeks and fingered his hole as I kissed his shoulders.
That was all I did for the next ten minutes—finger-fucking his hole with speed he’d never experienced before, only working up to two fingers to make him blow. Rune slumped against the tiles, gasping for air as he moved his hands up to steady himself.
I pressed my lips to his ear and licked the shell of it. “Imagine what I can do with my hips and my cock in your sweet ass if you let me.” He groaned loudly and I felt like a god. Only Rune could make me feel like that and I liked that feeling… With him. It wasn’t an ego trip or world domination thing. I wanted to please him so much, be so good to him, that it was like being a god.
No, I didn’t think it necessarily made sense either, but it did to me.
Minutes later we were cleaned up but still soaking wet and in my bed, Rune spread out for me as I rimmed him, stretching him with care. He moaned loudly and moved his hips in time with my attentions, the epitome of desirable. I’d never seen anything like him—how open he was, how he longed for more of everything—more of me.
When he climaxed again, I knew I should stop, let him rest, and leave it at that, but I couldn’t. I was a selfish man who had needs as well. I slicked up my cock and moved it to his hole, glancing up at him. “You can say no and I’ll understand. You’ve been celibate for a while and I just gave you lots of loving.”
“Yes, you did and you had no relief in return,” he argued, rolling his eyes at me. “I’m not an asshole, Helios. I don’t only take.”
That wasn’t what I wanted to hear either. “I don’t want you to say yes because you think you owe me after I—”
He growled and pulled me closer with his legs. “Stop being so noble.” I gasped as part of my cock pushed into him as I fell on top of his body. I blinked up at him and saw his mouth hanging open as his back arched. “I want this too, Helios. Stop thinking and take me.”
What else was there to say to that besides, “Okay.”
I pushed further inside him, sliding my arms under his shoulders as I claimed his lips. I made sure to go slow and not thrust in all the way, but it was difficult not to, his tight hole calling to me in a way I’d never remembered during sex before. Rune moaned loudly as he threw his leg over my hip, bending the other one next to me so I could go deeper.
“I don’t want to hurt you, love,” I whispered, backing off. At that angle, he’d opened himself to me more than I had wanted to start off.
“No more waiting,” he rasped as his eyes filled with tears. “No more dancing around each other. No more baby steps. You love me. You would never betray me or hurt me again. I love you, Helios. I don’t want to ever not be in this bed with you when it’s time to go to sleep. I hate that room not only because of what’s happened there, but now I know my place is here with you.”
“Hey, I agree, but we’ve got all the time in the world and no reason to rush things.” I smiled at him as I picked up speed, using my forearms as leverage and watching his face. He cried out and exposed his neck to me. I don’t even think he realized he was doing it, but I wanted what he offered.
God, did I want it.
Instead I nipped at the skin with my regular teeth, leaving him little love bites as I took him, showing him how much he meant to me. I told him over and over again how I loved him and he was the only one for me, then and forever. I think he believed me because he held onto me as if there was nothing else in the world he wanted to touch like he did me.
I pumped my hips faster and faster, still careful not to hurt him and keep things on the gentler side. Rune went wild, his fangs coming out as he eyed my neck. He didn’t give in either, but dug his short nails into my back, screaming out my name as he came. I followed him over, relishing the feeling of his muscles pulling every drop of my seed from my body and putting it deep into his.
No, I wasn’t possessive or anything.
When we were spent, I fell onto the bed next to him, snuggling around him as I ran my hands over his firm, perfect body. I was just about to tell him how that was the best date ever when I heard a soft, peaceful snore come out of his mouth.
“Brat,” I snickered under my breath. I pulled the covers up over us, but not before I moved my still hard cock between the cheeks of his ass. A gentleman would have cleaned him up. A vampire that hadn’t mated with the man he loved left his scent on said vampire and his cock as close as possible to what was his.
I slept just fine knowing what I had done, with a big smile on my face.
* * * *
Apparently possessiveness can be rewarded at times because I woke to soft lips on my collarbone before fingers pinched my nipples. “Helios, wake up. I want kinky.”
“Hmmm?” I murmured as I moved closer to the lips.
“I woke with a cock poking at my ass and smelling of sex still,” he growled, stroking my cock. “I woke horny, cleaned up, stretched myself, and now I want kinky since my lover is ready and obviously likes me wearing his scent.”
I was wide awake then. “You had me at stretched and wanting.” I grabbed his head and mashed our mouths together as I rolled us, inserting myself between his legs.
“Wait, not like this,” he gasped, pulling away. “I stretched myself out really well. Like extra, extra stretched so you won’t hurt me.”
I smiled down at him. Oh, he wanted something specific all right. “What does my Rune want this morning?” His cheeks heated up and he tried to duck his head. I wasn’t having any of that. I grabbed his chin and nipped his lower lip. “If you want it, you’ve gotta look me in the eye and ask me or I could get it wrong.”
“Dick,” he huffed. Then understanding melted away his annoyance. “It flat out does it for you when I do that, huh?”
“Oh yeah.” My hands grabbed his ass as I rubbed against him harder, showing him how much asking me for what he wanted did it for me.
“Okay then,” he purred, squirming against me. “Helios, would you flip me over so I’m on all fours, my ass up in the air like an offering to my powerful Wyrok lover, and pound into me with all your strength and speed like no other can? I want to scream until I’m hoarse and walk funny to breakfast.”
My mouth fell open and I froze for a few moments before slowly nodding. Then I simply stared at him. God, that was hot.
“Um, like today would be nice.”
I cleared my throat and nodded again. “Right.” I hurried off him and to the edge of the bed. I reached over and grabbed his ankle, dragging him to me. He let out a soft yelp as heat flared in his eyes.
I ignored it, giving him what he wanted and yanking him up on all fours, his ass on display. Sure enough, his hole was slicked up and stretched out for me. With the bed being fairly low to the ground and my height, it put him at the perfect level to plunge right into his needy hole.
So I did.
Rune cried out as I moaned, but I didn’t even wait for him to adjust, grabbing his hips and taking him like he asked me—as we both wanted. I caught my reflection out of the corner of my eye, not even having to look to know I was nothing but a blur. I pulled him towards me even as I thrust hard into him, driving Rune mad, his screams of pleasure as he clawed at the sheets letting me know how far gone he was in seconds.
That and he came all over the bedding within minutes of me fucking him.
But I was nowhere near done with him. I kept right on pounding into that sweet ass I’d longed for. He
wanted to walk funny to breakfast? I had no problem making that happen.
The second time he climaxed, I noticed his ass was bright red from my hips smacking his cheeks and that only threw fuel onto the fire of my need. His body spasmed uncontrollably and I moved even faster, the muscles of his hole, driving me crazy.
The third time, he stopped screaming in the middle of it, and I was pretty sure he’d lost his voice. He slumped over so one hand and one shoulder was holding him up as his lower half twitched. Then I decided to change the angle, not just bringing him to me, but down some and thrusting up.
That gave him a fourth time, right on top of the third. After that, I froze when he tapped the bedding, wondering what that meant. I rubbed his back, panting as I waited for him to tell me what was going on.
“Love, you okay?” He said something but I couldn’t hear it so I asked him to repeat himself.
“Come on me,” he croaked out. My eyes went wide as I pulled out of him, flipped him over, and moved to straddle him. He really wanted to smell like me. I stroked my cock so fast, wanting the same, I was surprised I didn’t give my hand blisters. My fangs came out and he shivered.
“You keep treating me like this, love, and I’m going to make you mine tonight,” I warned. He smiled as he moved his hands up my thighs, nodding when he still couldn’t speak.
That was all I needed to push me over the edge. I roared out his name as I sprayed him with my seed. I couldn’t remember ever coming so hard or for so long, making sure Rune was covered in my scent. When I was done, I leaned over and bit his neck, careful not to drink but simply giving him a taste of what I planned to do to him later.
Rune twitched under me some more and finished again. Yeah, he was perfect for me.
“Make no mistake about it, love. You are mine now,” I hissed in his ear before licking the bite closed. “You are never going back to that other bed alone. There will never be another man inside this wondrous body or I will slaughter them, and if any man or woman so much as tries to touch you intimately, I will gut them.”
“Okay,” he rasped, his throat raw. “Same goes for you.”
“Deal.” I smiled widely as I gave him a smacking kiss. We cleaned up then, Rune careful to wipe up, but not wash away my scent. We stopped by his room to get some clean clothes for him and I bit my lip hard to keep from laughing.
He was walking funny all right.
“I’ll make you some tea,” I purred when we reached the cafeteria. “I can’t imagine how you hurt your throat.” He shot me a dirty look even as his cheeks flushed. I threw back my head and laughed as I walked over to the coffee and tea station. I made him some green tea with lots of honey, almost dropping it when I turned around and saw him trying to find a way to sit that didn’t look like it hurt.
“Um, so, you had fun with Rune last night I take it,” Matteo chuckled as he moved to refill his coffee.
“This morning actually.” I gave a snort and glanced at him. “And you’re one to talk. How many hours did you comfort your mate last night?”
“Yeah, about that,” he muttered, adding some cream as he ducked his head. “How badly did I fail? Do I have to worry about Wyrok coming to put me down or something?”
My eyes went wide as I leaned in closer. Shit. How horrible would it be to worry about that all night? “You didn’t fail, Matteo. I think you reacted poorly with the drugs because you’re on the young side to be taking the test or maybe what happened to you when you got shot.” He threw me a disbelieving look, and I grabbed his arm to keep him from walking away. “Matteo, worrying you might hurt someone is not a bad reaction. Wanting to hurt people is. I’ve seen that. You had a rare reaction, that’s all.”
“So what will you tell the Wyrok?” he hedged, glancing over at Nate. I followed his gaze and saw his mate sit next to Rune, shooting me nervous looks as he did.
“That you should be tested in a few hundred years but I would keep you on the list of hopefuls. I wasn’t tested until I was over nine hundred years old. Six hundred is kind of young. Don’t take your reaction to heart. Be grateful you cared enough to worry. That’s what you should take away from the test.”
“Okay, yeah, thanks, Helios.” He let out a deep breath as I made myself some coffee and then we walked to the table, Matteo leaning over and kissing Nate which seemed to relax the man as well. I handed Rune his tea, my mood lightening when I saw him shifting on the bench again.
“Did Alexander and Dimitri have fun?” I asked, glancing between our friends.
“I just remember hearing Dimitri bitching he wasn’t going to be Jane to Alexander’s Tarzan either,” Nate chuckled, shaking his head. “Apparently Alexander really had ideas of things to do up in the trees. It was crazy. Leaves were falling everywhere, birds and squirrels were pissed.” He smirked behind his coffee and glanced at Rune. “What were you guys doing after you left?”
Rune sipped his tea and then cleared his throat, but I still winced at how raw his voice was. “Helios and I christened his bed.”
“Well then,” Matteo coughed, his coffee going down the wrong pipe. I patted him on the back even as I sipped my own heavenly brew.
“And this morning he screwed my ever-loving brains out with his ancient speed and strength until I lost my voice, couldn’t move, and had to tap out after like more multiple orgasms than I could count.”
I spit my coffee all over the table, most of the cafeteria going quiet at Rune’s announcement since we all had great hearing. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and blinked at him. “I only counted five.”
“Oh no,” Rune snickered, shaking his head. “You missed lots then. Those were just the really big ones. I had way more than five. After the first one, I kept having mini ones. I actually never stopped having them the entire time you fucked me. My whole body was one lit up nerve ending. It was unreal.” His cheeks heated as his eyes found mine. “Can we save that for special occasions? Like, I don’t know, next time you get possessive or think someone’s hitting on me? I liked it.”
“Yeah, love, whatever you want,” I murmured, so fucking turned on I couldn’t even handle the way I was churning inside.
“Besides moving in with you after work and us claiming each other?” he whispered. “That wasn’t just about the heat of the moment, right? You meant it?”
“I meant it, Rune. I love you.”
“Okay, good. I’ll get boxes. There’s some stuff I want to throw out.” He looked away and I had an idea of what that meant—his old over-the-top pain instruments. “I won’t need any of that anymore and I want to put it behind me. The rest I want to bring tonight and start our lives together.”
I was up and across the table without even realizing it. I didn’t care that I spilled the coffee or anything else. I grabbed him behind the head and pulled him closer, kissing him right there, not caring about all the people watching.
“Me too, Rune,” I rasped against his lips, overwhelmed with my love for him and everything I wanted to tell him. “I can’t wait either. It’s just you and me from now on, love.”
“Take the day off, you two,” Alexander called over from a few tables away. “We’ve got the work covered.” I smiled as lots of catcalls and shouts went up around us.
“I’ve never had a day off,” Rune chuckled, staring into my eyes. “I’ll take it. To move in with you and get everything I’ve ever wanted? Oh yeah, sounds like my version of heaven.”
Glad we had the same idea of what heaven looked like. Another reason we were perfect for each other.
And that was what we did. We moved in and mated and I was the happiest, luckiest vampire ever, all because I was assigned to the camp in Nowhere, Wyoming, to investigate a Rune Freeman. Funny how someone who was supposed to love him abused him so badly and another who was sent to bust him for his lies turned out to be the love of his life—and he the love of mine.

I saw him before he even opened the door of the command center. I happened to glance up and saw the thick arm through the glass reaching to push on the metal pads. At first I didn’t think anything of it and started to look back at my assignment until I caught a glimpse of the rest of him.
Then I did a double take and my pulse caught in my throat as my eyes drank in the most gorgeous male specimen I’d ever seen in real life. He was big, at least six-seven, and three-fifty of solid muscle. But it was his face, the hard lines, high cheekbones, thin lips, short, perfectly-kept blond hair that made my heart race. It was even as if his hair knew not to fuck with this guy.
But then I saw his dark, piercing green eyes sweeping the room and I was done for. My stomach fluttered and I was surprised I didn’t melt into my chair as my hormones took over. He was magnificent.
