"Then, okay. This is me laying at your feet and giving in to us like you wanted." Apollo sighed like he was in physical pain. "I…love you."
"So dramatic." Lachlan was laughing as he kissed him again, needing more of those lips on him. He kissed Apollo like he'd always wanted to, with his heart stripped bare, and he didn't know how anything could hurt so much and feel so good at the same time.

Apollo thought he must have been mad to admit he loved Lachlan Ironwood to his face. What had happened to his self-preservation? Oh, right, he had been kidnapped and forced to focus on what really mattered. And Lachlan, on top of him, telling him how much he wanted to be in a relationship, a real one? It had made him want to take the risk.
Maybe I've been fighting this too hard?
His dragon snorted in frustration, his equivalent of calling him a dumbass. Maybe he had been, but he'd had his reasons. Apollo was still shit scared over the thought that he might actually be able to keep Lachlan, but his dragon wasn't. Now it knew that Lachlan wanted something more than a hookup, it wanted to sink his teeth into his neck and fuck him to pieces.
"Your eyes are glowing so hot right now," Lachlan whispered.
"My dragon wants to do all kinds of naughty things to you, that's why," Apollo replied and patted him on his ridiculously toned butt. "It wants this ass. You shouldn't have said you haven't been topped.Badidea to tell my dragon you're a back-door virgin."
Lachlan rolled his eyes. "Just because I haven't been topped by someone doesn't mean I'm a back-door virgin. It means that I've never trusted someone to do it other than myself with a toy."
"Shhh, now, it's going to be okay. I'm here." Apollo patted his ass lovingly. "Don't worry, my little virgin. I'm going to take good care of you. I'll get you used to the idea, and then I'm going to rock your world."
"Are you talking to me or my ass?" Lachlan laughed.
"Both. You're lucky I'm into being both a top and a bottom." Apollo kissed him and ground his hard dick against Lachlan's. "And I'm very,verygood at both. But tonight, I think you have a promise to fulfil? Your exact words were that you were going to suck my dick so hard that I see the face of god, I believe."
Lachlan hummed. "Yeah, that was me. I need you to tell me you love me again first."
Apollo bit his lip, making him hiss. "You'll do as you're told."
"So bossy. Never thought of myself as a sub—" Lachlan began.
"We all need to learn sometime. I'll teach you the secret ways of the switch," Apollo said, pinching his cheek. "You're already doing so well."
"You're such a little shit. Why do I love you again?" Lachlan huffed.
"Because I'm amazing, that's why. How can you resist all this?" Apollo asked and lifted up his shirt. He didn't have anything on Lachlan's thick abs, but he did okay. Clearly, Lachlan thought so too, because he pulled the shirt over Apollo's head and ran his hands over his chest and down to the tattoo of his sigil.
"I love this," Lachlan said, shifting down so he could kiss it. "What does it mean?"
Apollo tried to clear the sudden fuzz in his brain. "It's something my brothers and I created. Like a magical vasectomyand a way to ensure we don't pick up any STDS. Not that I have been fucking any girls, gays or theys recently."
Lachlan glanced up at him. "Really? So it wasn't just me suffering?"
"Nope. Not just you. Same awkward boat of not wanting anyone else," Apollo admitted, leaving the part out about his dragon refusing to be into anyone else.
Lachlan scraped his teeth over the sigil, making Apollo's dick jump. "That makes me ridiculously happy. I'm clean and still have the doctor's results on my phone if you want to see them. I'll still wear a condom if you want, but it means I'll have to quickly go buy some. My hunting duffle has lube, but I haven't fucked anyone in so long that I haven't replenished my stock."
"I can't get pregnant either! I checked with Taranis if Mpreg was a thing. Great news, it's not," Apollo quickly added.
"You asked him that?" Lachlan rested his head against Apollo's stomach, his whole body shaking from laughter. "Gods, I love you so fucking much."
"Not as much as you will when I tell you I want you to fuck me without a condom," he said.
Lachlan stopped laughing and raised his head. "You do?"
"Yeah, I do," Apollo said, his cheeks going red. "I don't want anything between us right now and…"
Lachlan kissed his stomach so tenderly, Apollo's heart flipped. "And this is where you stop talking and let me keep my promise."
"Jokes on you. I never stop talking," he replied.
