Chapter Twenty-Three
Ahearn
Any doubt about whether Bari was willing dissipated as he trembled over me, the mouthwatering scent of his arousal filling the room. Gripping his generous globes in my hands, I teased the wrinkled skin of his opening with the tip of my tongue, the taste of the slick seeping out so sweetly familiar that I felt my heart skip as a long-ago memory flooded my mind.
Much like in my dream, a much younger Bari spread out before me, his taunt ass propped up in the air, the perfect arch of his spine leading to slender shoulders flattened on the bed as he buried his face in the pillow to stifle his words as he gasped my name over and over, pleading for more as I ate his arse with gusto.
Years had passed between the encounter I was remembering and the moment we were in, but there was no doubt in my heart that I was every bit as attracted to my Omega as I had been that first time that he’d allowed me the erotic liberty. A liberty that, if my faulty memory could be trusted, I had begged on my knees for that first time.
“Oh!” Bari’s voice was thready as I slipped my tongue through his softening ring, flexing and relaxing my tongue as his velvety walls rippled around it. “Alpha!”
I worked the sweet hole over with my mouth until Bari was vibrating under my hands, mewling cries dropping from his lips, his slick leaking down to coat his thighs as I teased him with my lips and scraped the tender skin lightly with my teeth.
My cock was throbbing with the need to fill him, to join us in the most intimate way possible. Pulling my face from his crease, I struggled for control.
“Do you want me?” I asked, not wanting to assume anything, especially given what I abruptly realized wasthe heavy-handed way that I’d ordered him into my bed.
“Yes, yes!” Bari panted, his entire body shaking. “Please!”
“Ride me,” I demanded, supporting his weight in my cupped hands as I urged him forward until he was straddling my cock. I started to tell him to face me, but another sudden memory suggested he’d prefer it as he was.
Gripping my cock in my right hand, I guided Bari down until his plump cheeks surrounded me, his wet, tight heat swallowing me as though his hole was meant for no purpose beyond sheathing my cock. As my groin bumped his bottom, Bari ground down on me, trying to take me deeper still.
I swore loudly, unable to stop myself from thrusting up into the perfection of his body. Bari’s answering whimper assured me that we were balanced on the same edge as he rose and fell over me, every pulse of his body met with an answering throb in my cock until a nearly intolerable sensation wound tight in my gut, ripping control of my hips from me and forcing me to thrust up into his heat.
“Bari!” I gasped his name, lost in the sensations racing through me as I gripped his hips and fucked up into his body. I was trying to form an apology for what I knew was going to be an absurdly short encounter when his tunnel clamped down on my throbbing cock and the first hot, wet splashes of his cum sprayed out over my thighs, followed by another and another as Bari’s entire body shuddered and pulsed, milking my release from me in nearly violent surges.
I barely caught him as he slumped forward, easing him back and rolling us onto our sides as we struggled for breath. Holding my Omega in my arms, my hands resting lightly on his ripe stomach, I was taken by surprise when the base of my cock began to flare, leaving me only a moment to decide whether or not to pull out. Not having asked for permission to knot my lover, I gritted my teeth and began to back away only to have Bari’s hand reach back and grab my hip, trying to drag me forward.
“I know it doesn’t mean anything,” he said a little sadly, “but would you please stay? I..I miss it.”
Swallowing hard, I thrust my hips forward, forcing the slight flare past Bari’s rim and making him gasp. He sighed happily as my knot pressed against his sensitive inner rim, locking us together.
“God, that’s good,” he murmured sleepily, pressing his hips back as though he thought I was holding out on him and there might still be an inch or two left.
I knew that I was more than well-endowed, so that amused me and I chuckled. “I’m afraid you have it all, a chroi,” I teased.
“I’m sorry,” Bari choked a bit, making me laugh harder.
“It’s fine,” I murmured, pressing my nose to his neck and drawing in his unique scent. “You should rest.”
Bari made a happy noise and melted against me, almost as though he’d expected me to time how long it took for my knot to deflate so I could be rid of him.
Which is exactly how you’ve been treating him,an annoying little voice whispered in the back of my mind.
Dragging a sheet up over our bodies -we were still too overheated for a blanket- I tightened my hold around the Omega in my arms, stroking his belly as he lay boneless against me. We were going to have to talk, but until it was time, I’d simply have to show him that although my memories of our past might still be sparse, my heart had found its missing piece.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Bari
I’d clearly hit my head harder than I’d thought.
That was the only explanation for me thinking that Ahearn had reverted back to the loving Alpha that had doted on me for so many years. Or maybe it was simply that he’d been without long enough that any willing body-even mine-was a welcome distraction. After all, he had always been possessed of significant appetites. The more I considered it as I lay in the comforting warmth of his arms, the more likely that scenario seemed. While the thought dulled the serenity inside me, I forced myself to shove the thought away, instead soaking in the comforting warmth of his bare skin against mine and the erotic pleasure of his knot locking us together as we dozed.
Ahearn was still sleeping when my stomach began to growl. Our bodies had separated while we slept, so I was able to slip from the bed without disturbing him. Wincing at the fluids crusted on my body, I decided that a quick snack followed by a long, hot shower would be the best course of action. Then, I could focus on preparing the evening meal after Ahearn woke.
I’d barely stepped under the shower spray when a gust of cool air told me that I was no longer alone. Wiping my face with my wet hands, I blinked through the water clinging to my eyelashes to focus on Ahearn’s naked body on the other side of the clear curtain.
