The scent of Jasper’s arousal lingered in the air, so thick and delicious. He could smell that Jasper was close. He could taste it. Kraghol withdrew his tongue. Jasper sagged, breathing heavily.
Kraghol reached for the vial. He unstopped it and poured the oil onto his hand. Quickly, he lathered his throbbing cock with plenty of oil.
Jasper spread his legs wide, angling his hips. He reached for Kraghol and tugged him forward between his thighs.
Kraghol gripped his dick, lining himself up. He gazed down into Jasper’s rich brown eyes. His breath caught at the adoration, desire, and love he saw there.
Jasper’s fingers tightened on his arms. “Please, Kraghol.”
Kraghol pressed a kiss to his forehead. Then he thrust steadily forward, stretching and filling Jasper with his dick.
Their groans of pleasure melded together. For a moment, Kraghol held still, buried deep inside Jasper, savouring this feeling of completeness, of being one with his mate.
“I love you, Jasper.”
Jasper slid his fingers through the fur on Kraghol’s chest. “I love you too.”
Kraghol had never thought he could be as happy as he was in that moment.
“Now fuck me. Please!” Jasper demanded. “I need you to fuck me.”
Kraghol complied. He thrust into Jasper, starting a steady, hard rhythm.
Jasper gasped as Kraghol’s cock slid in and out of his body. Kraghol leaned forward, nuzzling Jasper’s throat and inhaling his scent.
Kraghol increased the strength and speed of his thrusts. “Mine. My mate,” he growled. “For now and ever.”
Jasper groaned, head tilted back. “Yes!”
Kraghol licked his throat as he pounded into Jasper’s arse. The bed shook. The headboard rattled against the wall. But Kraghol just kept fucking Jasper, shoving himself into his mate’s welcoming body.
“Oh, Kraghol.” Jasper’s hands slid down Kraghol’s back, gripping his arse, urging him on. “Faster! Harder!”
Kraghol obeyed. The taste of Jasper’s arousal grew heavier in the air. He wrapped his hand around Jasper’s dick, stroking him.
Jasper’s entire body tightened. His face scrunched up. He screamed. His cock jerked in Kraghol’s hand, and thick ropes of cum covered Kraghol’s hand and splattered against their chests and stomachs.
Jasper’s channel tightened around Kraghol’s cock as he shoved deep one more time. He moaned and shuddered as he spilled his seed inside Jasper’s body.
They held still for several moments, neither moving. Slowly, Kraghol released his hold on Jasper’s now softening prick. He withdrew and lay beside Jasper.
Kraghol stared up at the dark ceiling. “I never thought I could love anyone as much as I love you. And I never would have ever believed that someone like you could love me in return.”
Jasper rolled towards him. He kissed Kraghol’s cheek. “Well, it is lucky that you have a lifetime to get used to loving me and being loved by me, then.” Then he kissed Kraghol again and again, and any more thoughts Kraghol had slipped away.
Chapter
Forty-Five
“Here! It’s another present for you.” Jasper handed Kraghol the package.
Kraghol blinked. “What? Really? Another gift?”
The Berry family sat on the floor of the library in Avery and Jack’s apartment, exchanging presents around the massive tree.
Although Avery and Jack usually kept the library at obscenely hot temperatures for their dragon egg, today the egg had been placed in the fireplace amongst the coals. That meant the rest of the room could be kept just a little too warm.
Still, Jasper and most of those in attendance sweat. Avery stood in his human form next to Jack by the fireplace, hovering over their egg protectively.
