Thank you.
“All sorted?” Mark asked, and Alec glanced up, meeting his gaze.
“Yep, let’s go.”
As soon as they were inside the flat, Alec grabbed Mark by the shoulders and pressed him against the wall.
Mark grinned up at him, a challenge in his eyes. “Oh. It’s likethatagain, is it?”
Alec let his fangs out enough to run his tongue over the edges, allowing Mark to see. “Yes. Is that a problem?”
Shaking his head, Mark gripped Alec’s arse and pulled him closer. “No. It’s exactly what I need after today.”
“Good.” Alec rolled his hips and dipped his head to nip Mark’s throat. Scraping the edges of his teeth over the sensitive skin forced a moan out of Mark, so Alec did it again. Harder.
“Want you to fuck me.”
Yes.
Alec growled, a low rumble that started deep in his chest and filled the hallway with sound.
Mark chuckled, a little breathless as Alec ground against him and kissed along his neck. “I take it… that was a yes?”
Moving his mouth to Mark’s ear, Alec whispered, “Yes. I’m going to fuck you hard and slow, get you right to the edge, then I’m going to finger you while I swallow your come. Then I’m going to fuck your mouth.”
“Unghh.” Mark’s fingers dug in, a hint of claw pressing against Alec’s arsecheeks through the denim.
Alec smiled. “No marking you this time.”
“Mmmm, I liked it though.” Mark tensed, as though he’d not meant to say that.
“Me too,” Alec offered because it was true.
When Mark relaxed again, Alec hummed in satisfaction. He wanted him loose and pliable.
Stepping back, he took one of Mark’s hands in his, running his thumb over a claw tip. “Come on. I want to get you naked.”
They walked towards the bedroom, Alec leading the way. No one had been in the flat since the last time they were there, and a trace of their combined scent remained in the air. Breathing deeply, Alec let it fill his lungs. Each inhale set his nerves alight, his wolf an excited presence under his skin, itching to get out. Not since he first shifted had Alec had any trouble keeping control of his wolf, but he had to concentrate now. The urge to let go and shift ran like a ripple up his spine, and he let his teeth and claws extend to ease some of the pressure.
Mark’s sharp intake of breath made Alec stop just inside the door.
He met Mark’s gaze. “You okay?”
“Yeah, you?” He lifted their joined hands for Alec to see. Five tiny spots of blood marred the back of Mark’s hand.
Alec stared. He’d not even realised he was gripping him that hard. “Fuck, sorry.” Maybe tonight was a mistake. With the meeting earlier and tomorrow being the anniversary of his unit’s deaths, his head was all over the place, and apparently his control was shit. Sighing, he dropped Mark’s hand and leant against the door frame. “You should probably go.”
“What?”
Alec closed his eyes. “I’m not in the right frame of mind for this. My control is… not what it should be. I don’t want to hurt you.” He felt the warmth from Mark’s body as he stepped closer.
When he spoke, his voice was a whisper against Alec’s ear. “You can hurt me a little. I’ll heal.” He reached a hand between them and palmed Alec’s cock—now rigid and straining against his jeans. “Today has been a fucking awful day for me. I want you to fuck me, the harder the better. I need it.” He nipped Alec’s earlobe, the sting of fangs making Alec hiss. “Make me forget.”
Mark’s scent curled around him, the spicy citrus mixed with arousal. Alec took deep, greedy breaths, each one crumbling his resolve, and he whined, low and needy.
With the pads of his fingers, Mark rubbed him through his jeans, encouraging.
Alec groaned, but it came out more of a growl with his wolf so close to the surface. “Bed.”
