Ari was lying completely still but I knew he wasn’t sleeping. I reached up to brush the hair out of my mouth and twisted enough to press a kiss to his cheek since I couldn’t reach his lips.
“Good morning, beautiful,” I murmured, slipping the hand that rested on the small of his back down to cup one generous butt cheek and giving it a good squeeze. “You’re so fucking sexy.”
Ari shifted on top of me, rubbing every inch of our bodies together as he worked to get his elbows on the mattress and rose up on them, his black eyes bright and wide awake.
“Mmm. Do that again.”
“What? This?” Ari’s voice was teasing as he rolled his hips, grinding our morning wood together.
My other hand joined in to grip Ari’s other butt cheek, giving me purchase to drag him down against me. “Exactly that,” I agreed, bucking up under him. “How’d you sleep?”
“Better than I have in months.” Ari was frotting against me in earnest then, his eyes were a little glassy and his breathing sped up.
“You sure seem to have plenty of energy,” I observed, nipping at the soft skin of his neck. “Do you have anywhere you need to be?”
“Not for a few hours.”
I took that as permission to continue, determined to never again leave my mate wondering about my intentions or doubting that I wanted him in every carnal way there was. I brought one hand up to my mouth, cursing the necessity of moving it off Ari’s plump butt to dribble spit on it. Ari’s eyes widened as he caught my meaning and he brought his knees up so he was straddling me, spreading his legs as wide as our position would allow.
I stared into those black velvet eyes as I breached him with my finger, sliding in with ease. His body may not have created slick to ease the way like an Omega’s would have, but it took the intrusion eagerly, leaving no doubt that it knew I belonged there.
“Such a sweet little hole,” I murmured, still holding Ari’s gaze as I withdrew it and added a second. Ari sighed as I stroked his inner walls with them, his eyes deepening further. “Does that feel good, baby?”
Ari swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing. I wasn’t expecting a response, so I was surprised to get one. “Not good enough,” he said haltingly, as if he was having to force the words out. “I want your…dick.” Ari tripped over the term and his shoulders straightened a little, almost as if he expected me to laugh at his words but there was no way that was going to happen. His innocent attempt at dirty talk was high on the list of my most erotic experiences.
“Yeah?” I moved my fingers faster, using the movement to urge Ari to frot against me faster. “You want your Alpha to fill you up, baby?”
He nodded, his head moving back and forth so quickly that it nearly wobbled. “Yes! Yes, please!”
“Do you have lube?”
Ari’s eyes dropped to my chest in obvious embarrassment. “Um, I bought some yesterday afternoon, just in case,” he mumbled so low I barely caught the words. He jerked his head toward the nightstand, his cheeks flaming a brilliant red. “In the drawer.”
“You planned ahead, hm?” Not willing to let Ari second guess himself, I crooked my fingers and pressed against his happy spot in reward. “What a good boy.”
I was pretty sure Ari’s pleasured gasp was from more than just my fingers on his p-spot. In fact, I’d already started to suspect he might have a little bit of a praise kink back before things had gone to hell between us. Withdrawing my fingers gently, I applied gentle pressure on Ari’s hip to urge him off me so I could stretch over to reach the drawer.
Ari rolled over onto his back with a little grunt of annoyance that made me snicker.
“It’s only for a minute, baby,” I assured him, rummaging through the meager contents until I found the small tube. Shoving the drawer closed and turning back to face him, my heart stuttered at the sight of him spread out on the bed, limbs akimbo, red streaking his cheeks and neck, his rounded belly quivering as he fought to control his breathing.
He was gorgeous and perfect and fuckingmine. My inner beast snarled with pleasure at the sight, fighting against me for the privilege of breaking free to fuck our mate senseless, to claim him in the most primal way known to the world. When Ari’s eyes widened and his lips parted in a gasp, I realized I was growling the wordmineover and over.
I shook my head, trying to beat back the visceral response lest I scare him. He was stretching out one arm, reaching for me and using the other to try and pull his knees to his chest despite his girth, to bare himself to me. Ari didn’t look scared. He looked aroused and a little desperate, but definitely not scared. The beast chuffed his satisfaction.
Comehere!” Ari huffed. “I need you!”
“Roll over,” I demanded, my voice rough. “Hands and knees.”
Ari stared at me for a second and I was about to explain that I was concerned about my lack of control, that I was afraid I might hurt him if I bore down too hard face to face but never got the chance. Ari rolled to his hands and knees with a grace that astounded me, spreading his knees wide to flash his entrance at me, and looked back over his shoulder with an expression that could only be called coquettish.
“Come and get me, big bad wolf,” Ari teased, his words settling into my gut and fanning the flames of arousal higher as I crawled toward him on the bed.
My cock was already drooling as I worked my way into his tight channel, my pre-cum mixing with the lube to ease my way, each of Ari’s pleasure-soaked sighs and moans making my cock jerk. When I was finally seated fully inside him, I pressed close to his back, reveling in the way our bodies throbbed together, our hearts beating as one.
“Oh, Ari,” I sighed against his sweaty neck. “You’re so perfect, baby. I love you so much.”
Without warning, Ari’s body clenched around me, and he let out a near scream, his release spraying onto the mattress under him as he convulsed and sobbed my name. I barely had time to catch him with an arm around the chest before he collapsed onto his plump belly.
