That sealed the deal. I crushed my mouth against his, kissing him deeply and devotedly. His tongue so sweet; I couldn't get enough of my fated mate's taste.
I kissed down his jawline and down his collarbone, over his chest and the softness of his belly, following the dark line of hair to his cock. Leo exhaled shakily, then sucked in a breath as my lips grazed his sensitive flesh. His fingers curled against the silk sheets, grasping them for support as I engulfed the head of his cock with my lips. He whimpered and arched his back.
"Fuck, Mav..."
Hearing my name—no, his own personal name for me—on his tongue made me growl. I sucked in more of him, taking the whole length of Leo's cock. The sweet, salty taste of him was intoxicating. Soon Leo was moaning and writhing against the bed.
My own cock throbbed, desperately wanting to plow into Leo, but I was determined to take things slow—well, as slowly as my raging gryphon soul would allow. I was an alpha, after all, and the sight of my fated mate splayed out naked in front of me, openly baring his body, was almost too much to take.
With a possessive growl in my throat, I deepthroated Leo. His cock hit the back of my throat easily. A shiver ripped down my spine as Leo cried out and bucked his hips. It felt incredible to make my mate feel good.
"Maverick," Leo moaned. His back arched off the bed and his fingers clenched the sheets hard. "Shit, it's so good..."
Saliva dripped down my jaw as I sucked Leo off. I bobbed my head back and forth, taking his full length every time. His sounds of pleasure filled the room; music to my ears.
Soon Leo tensed. His head lolled to the side and sweaty strands of hair clung to his forehead as he gazed down at me.
"I don't know how much longer I can hold out," he breathed.
I nodded, still holding his twitching cock in my mouth. I knew he was close even without him telling me and I intended to take him all the way over the edge.
Leo suddenly sucked in a sharp breath, stiffened, and cried out, "Mav—"
I was ready. As Leo unleashed his load, I took it all eagerly. I shivered with pleasure as the hot ropes of cum descended down my throat. Every part of my fated mate tasted delicious.
He fell back in a sweaty heap when his orgasm finished, but neither of us were done yet. I wiped my mouth on the back of my hand as I rose up to straddle his hips on the bed. The fire in Leo's eyes told me he was ready for round two. But it wasn't just lust burning in Leo's expression. There was also love.
Neither of us said anything—we didn't have to. I kissed Leo and he returned it with equal fervor. He threw his arms around my neck, refusing to let go.
"Mav," Leo murmured into my skin.
His soft voice was so sweet, so vulnerable. It ignited my burning desire to protect him.
"I'm here, Leo," I replied.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
He peeled back to blink at me with his dark brown doe eyes. "Can you please fuck me now? I want to have that baby we talked about."
I had to laugh. He really was one of a kind. "Yes, Leo. Your wish is my command."
"Isn't that genies? I thought you were a gryphon," Leo teased.
He laid back against the sheets and spread his legs. My eyes were drawn immediately to the glistening fluid leaking out of his hole. He was ready for me.
Hormones flooded me. My cock was rock-hard and ready to plunge into my mate. I crawled on top of him, running a hand down his gorgeous form while I used my other hand to line up the head of my cock with his entrance. Leo squirmed enthusiastically.
"Hold still, my little mouse," I said.
He tried not to wriggle so much. "Fiiine..." Then he sucked in a breath through gritted teeth as my cock slowly entered him.
When his body relaxed around my intrusion, I moved my hips forward. I stroked his sides lovingly to help calm him down. If he was too tense, it might hurt and I didn't want that.
"How do you feel?" I asked.
Leo was sweating but he gave me a thumbs up. "So far, so good. Are you all the way in?"
