Alan hesitated, but only for a moment.He looked into Matthew’s eyes and saw everything he could ever want from a mate there, so he nodded again.“Yes.”
A slow smile spread across Matthew’s face, and he leaned in, capturing Alan’s lips in another kiss.This one felt more intense, which Alan hadn’t thought possible.Matthew’s hands stroked over Alan’s body as if committing it to memory.Hopefully, Matthew would have plenty of other opportunities to touch Alan this way.
When Matthew’s lips trailed down to Alan’s neck, Alan gasped and tilted his head back to give his mate better access.Matthew nipped gently at the sensitive skin there, his teeth grazing but not breaking the surface.The sensation sent a jolt of pleasure through Alan, and he moaned softly, his fingers tightening in Matthew’s hair.
“You taste incredible,” Matthew murmured against Alan’s skin.He kissed his way back up to Alan’s lips, their mouths crashing together.
Alan’s hands fumbled with Matthew’s t-shirt, desperate to feel more of him.When he finally managed to pull it off, Alan couldn’t help but run his hands over Matthew’s chest, marveling at the strength under his fingertips.
Matthew groaned, his hips pressing forward.The friction between them was electric, and Alan could feel the evidence of Matthew’s arousal pressing against his thigh.The thought sent a thrill through him, and he rocked his hips forward, seeking more pressure.
Alan’s hands moved almost of their own accord, skimming over the hard lines of Matthew’s back, tracing the muscles that flexed under his fingertips.He really is perfect, Alan thought.The warmth of Matthew’s skin seeped into his palms, grounding him.
Matthew’s eyes darkened.“You’re killing me,” he murmured.
His hands found Alan’s hips, fingers digging in just enough to make Alan gasp.The pressure was firm and possessive, and it sent a jolt of heat straight to Alan’s core.
He was Matthew’s mate.In a way, he belonged to Matthew, and Matthew belonged tohim.
Alan slid his hands lower, exploring the muscles of Matthew’s lower back, feeling the way they tensed under his touch.He leaned in, pressing a kiss to the hollow of Matthew’s throat, savoring the way he could feel Matthew’s pulse jump beneath his lips.Matthew groaned, and his hips pressed forward in a sensation that made Alan’s head spin.
“Matthew,” Alan whispered, his voice trembling.He rocked his hips forward, craving more pressure.Their bodies moved together, a slow, deliberate rhythm that left Alan breathless.
Matthew’s lips found Alan’s again.His tongue swept into Alan’s mouth, claiming him and leaving no doubt about who was in control.Alan moaned, and the bond between them hummed, surprising him.He hadn’t expected to be able to feel it so strongly before they’d even bonded, but it was there, singing between them.He couldn’t imagine what it would feel like once they were bonded.
Alan’s hands drifted lower, gripping the waistband of Matthew’s underwear—the only article of clothing he was wearing.Alan only hesitated for a moment before pushing the fabric down.Matthew’s breath hitched, his hips slightly thrusting forward as Alan’s fingers brushed against the sensitive skin of his thighs.
“Alan,” Matthew groaned.His hands tightened on Alan’s hips, pulling him even closer.“You’re driving me crazy.”
Alan smirked, a flicker of confidence sparking in his chest.“Good,” he murmured, his lips brushing against Matthew’s as he spoke.He slid his hand around Matthew’s waist to trace a finger up Matthew’s cock.Matthew moaned, his head falling back as he pushed into Alan’s touch.
The sound sent a thrill through Alan, and his body responded to Matthew’s need.He slid his free hand up Matthew’s chest, feeling the rapid beat of his heart beneath his palm.“I want to feel you,” Alan whispered.“All of you.”
Matthew’s eyes snapped open.“Yes,” he whispered.
Then Matthew’s hands were everywhere, exploring every inch of Alan’s exposed skin as they both finished undressing.His touch was firm yet gentle, sending shivers down Alan’s spine.His lips trailed down Alan’s neck, nipping lightly at the skin there before soothing it with his tongue.Alan gasped, his fingers tightening in Matthew’s hair as he arched into the touch.He kept expecting Matthew to bite him, and he was disappointed that he hadn’t yet.
“Matthew,” Alan breathed out.“I need—”
“I know,” Matthew interrupted.He pulled back just enough to meet Alan’s gaze, his eyes blazing with intensity.“I’ve got you.”
Their lips crashed together again.Alan’s hands roamed over Matthew’s body, but he needed more.
So much more.
“Matthew,” Alan whispered, his voice trembling with need.His hands gripped Matthew’s shoulders, holding on as if he might float away if he let go.He felt like he would.“Please.”
Their bodies were aligned perfectly.Alan gasped at the sensation and tangled their legs together.
“You’re so beautiful,” Matthew murmured against Alan’s lips.“I can’t get enough of you.”
Alan’s heart swelled at the words.He’d never known he needed this, but sometimes when he was with Matthew, he felt like a completely different person.He didn’t dislike that.In fact, he liked the person he was when he was with Matthew.
“Matthew,” Alan whispered.He cupped Matthew’s cheeks and looked him in the eyes.“I need you.”
Matthew’s gaze softened, and he pressed a gentle kiss to Alan’s lips.“You have me.Always.”
Alan melted into Matthew’s touch, his body relaxing in a way he hadn’t allowed himself to since that night in the office.Here in Matthew’s arms, he was safe.
