Chapter Ten
Chay smiled when he went to stretch and felt someone next to him. He knew instantly who it was. There was just no mistaking the alluring scent of the earth after the rain fell for the first time at the end of summer.
He loved that smell.
He rolled to his side and glanced down at the man sleeping tucked in next to him. Even in his sleep, Gabriel was gorgeous. Chay’s blood grew heated when his gaze fell on the mating scar. It had fully healed in just a few short hours. It would permanently be there for the entire world to see.
Now, if he could just get Gabriel to mark him in the same manner.
Chay wasn’t those ultra-macho males who would never allow their more subservient partner to mark them. He might be the more dominant one between the two of them, but Gabriel was his mate, and nothing was too good for his mate. Not even the knowledge that he had fully claimed Chay.
Scooting down between Gabriel’s legs, Chay licked his lips and then grabbed the base of Gabriel’s cock. He massaged his fingers over the bulbous head, smoothing the pre-cum at the same time. His thumbnail pressed into the tiny slit at the top of the head, and he heard a low moan rumble in Gabriel’s chest.
The man’s arousal, along with the clear liquid seeping from his cock, filled Chay’s lungs, making his mouth water for just one taste. With a feral smile, Chay swallowed Gabriel’s straining erection, wrapping his lips around the flared head of the man’s cock. The taste of pre-cum exploded on his tongue, and he knew he wanted more.
Chay slowly pushed the cock to the back of his throat, further still, letting his throat muscles relax until pubic hairs tickled his face. He heard a swift intake of air, and then Gabriel shuddered.
Ah, so the man was awake.
Good.
Encouraged by Gabriel’s response, Chay began to suck, his tongue tracing the veins, his cheeks hollowed as he moved Gabriel’s thick erection further into his mouth, bobbing his head up and down.
Gabriel’s fingers glided through Chay’s hair, massaging his scalp as Chay sucked and licked. Chay pumped Gabriel’s cock as he sucked the engorged head. His tongue swirled around the spongy cap then licked at the bundle of nerves just underneath.
Another groan rumbled through Gabriel right before his hips thrust forward, driving his cock deep into Chay’s mouth, causing Chay’s body to scream with pleasure, with an overload of sensations that made Chay whimper around the man’s cock.
Gabriel’s body was so hard, so hot against Chay that it nearly scorched him. His mate’s fingers tightened in his hair, Gabriel’s hips pumping faster. The pre-cum was leaking like a river, and Chay knew the man was close. Gabriel’s moans were becoming more frequent, his body was trembling.
Chay thrust his head down, taking Gabriel’s cock as far as he could into his mouth. As his throat massaged Gabriel’s length, Gabriel came hard, screaming Chay’s name. His seed spurted down Chay’s throat in hot ribbons of release. Chay swallowed greedily.
Chay let the man’s softening cock slip from his mouth and then sat back, as if nothing had happened. Gabriel wrapped his hand around Chay’s neck and pulled him close. He ran his hand over Chay’s head, stroking his fingers through Chay’s long hair.
“Good morning.”
Gabriel grinned. “It is now.”
Chay clasped Gabriel’s face between his hands and drew the man closer, settling his lips against Gabriel’s. He swept his tongue across Gabriel’s lips. They parted with a deep sigh from Gabriel. Chay pressed his advantage and swept his tongue inside the warm, wet cavern.
The first tentative kiss was gentle, sweet, and almost chaste. Chay felt Gabriel open to him and bent lower, mating their mouths together, exploring Gabriel’s mouth. Their lips parted, only for a brief moment.
When their lips met again, it wasn’t the slow tender and gentle kiss it had been before. This time it was out of control, frantic, needy. Chay felt Gabriel’s hands grab at him, holding on to his hips as though Gabriel thought he might escape. Except that Chay had no intention of trying to escape. He had no intention of going anywhere. He was right where he wanted to be—wrapped in his mate’s arms.
“Chay,” Gabriel whispered against his lips, “please.”
Desire burned in Gabriel’s eyes. Chay couldn’t help himself. He curved his hand around the side of Gabriel’s face, rubbing his thumb from the edge of Gabriel’s nose to his cheekbone. Gabriel’s head turned, and Chay felt the man’s wet lips press against the palm of his hand. Gabriel didn’t kiss him. He just let his lips sit there, almost as if he needed the contact.
Chay leaned down and pressed a soft kiss against the man’s lips. That seemed to do the trick. Gabriel groaned and dragged Chay down into his arms. Before Chay knew it, Gabriel had half rolled on top of him. Chay groaned when Gabriel’s hands started exploring his naked skin.
“Chay…Chay…you smell so damn good,” Gabriel whispered against Chay’s skin as he started nuzzling the skin at his neck.
Chay tilted his head back, giving Gabriel more skin to kiss. He was happily rewarded by the feeling of Gabriel’s mouth working its way across the bottom of his chin and down his neck to his chest.
Chay shuddered with increasing arousal and cried out softly as Gabriel’s lips closed over one of his nipples. The mere touch of Gabriel’s lips on his skin sent a warming shiver through Chay. When Gabriel’s tongue stroked across his taut flesh, Chay cried out again and gripped Gabriel’s arms with his hands.
“Need you, Chay,” Gabriel murmured, his hot breath blowing out over Chay’s sensitive skin. “Need you so bad.”
Chay turned around, giving Gabriel a nice view of his ass. He wiggled his hips back and forth, smiling at Gabriel over his shoulder. “Is this what you had in mind?”
