"Gonna cum soon," Orpheus replied as he thrust into me.

I nodded. "Please."

We kissed as we both came. I exploded all over his stomach and chest, while Orpheus filled me up with a thick flood of cum. I shuddered at the feeling, so foreign and natural at the same time.

Orpheus's arms trembled from the exertion of holding me up this entire time. He slowly eased us both to the ground in a sitting position, since his knot was still stuck. The awkward position made me laugh.

"Well, isn't this a picture-perfect scene?" I said.

He grinned and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Yup. Just two guys sitting naked on top of a mountain. Nothing to see here, folks."

Even though Orpheus was sweaty and exhausted, he looked so damn cute with that dumb grin on his face that I couldn't help wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him again.

Orpheus

The weeksthat passed after Red accepted my proposal to be mates were the happiest of my life. I finally understood how those other couples in the pack seemed so saccharine all the damn time. It wasn't hard when you were with the love of your life. Your fated mate.

After the first night on the mountain, we returned to the pack to let them know Red was taking a much-needed rest from his babysitting duties. Everyone agreed it was about time. Half of them told him not to come back until he'd gotten some peace and quiet. The kids were sad to see him go, but were reassured when Red promised to be back soon. It always made me smile to see how much they cared about him and vice versa.

But it was time for the parents to take care of their own kids. I wanted Red all to myself.

"I'm going to miss those wiggle worms," Red said with a sigh. "But it is going to be nice not to have my hair chewed on or to have them put pebbles down my pants."

I laughed. "They've done that?"

He raised a brow at me. "Kids do everything and anything. Just when you think you've seen every bit of trouble they can make, they surprise you."

"Then I'm glad I'm with someone with so much child-rearing experience." I kissed his forehead. "I've got a lot to learn."

We walked aimlessly, doing nothing but enjoying each other's presence. We had no obligations and nowhere to be except with each other. It was wonderful. The sky was open and blue with a sweet-smelling breeze tinged with the scent of wildflowers, and the wind ruffled the long grass, making it dance like ocean waves.

Our straying led us to a small pond. We took a break, soaking our feet in the cool waters. I tilted my head back and inhaled the air. Red was doing the same, though his nose twitched with much more sensitivity than mine, even in his human form.

"What do you smell?" I asked.

"You, mostly." He smiled without opening his eyes, focused on the scent.

I grinned. "What do I smell like? I hope it's not bad."

"Hm... it's hard to describe. Like the wind after a brief rain; dry fir needles when you step on them; that powdery scent of feathers; then top that all off with alpha musk."

I whistled, impressed. "You got all that just from a single sniff?"

"Don't get too jealous," he remarked. "You can fly, remember?"

“True."

Red leaned in with a mischievous smirk. "But that's not all. You also smell likeyou."

"How informative."

He batted me playfully. "If you had a better nose, you'd know exactly what I mean. It's that scent that only belongs to you. The one that makes me happy to sniff."

"Aw, that's kinda cute."

"What do I smell like to you?" Red asked.
