Dex moaned, his eyelids falling shut.
Luc landed at his loft and whisked Dex inside and up the stairs. “Do you have your pebble?”
“It’s in my pocket.”
Luc set Dex on his feet beside the bed. “Place it on the side table.”
Dex fished the faintly glowing gray stone from his pocket and set it beside the lamp. When he turned around, Luc was naked, his eyes a brighter red than Dex had ever seen.
A shiver wound through Dex’s body, and his cock stiffened.
“On the bed,” Luc ordered.
Dex kicked off his shoes and scrambled up.
“Tell me your safe words,” Luc demanded.
“Red for stop, green for all good, yellow for slow down.”
“Good boy.” Luc’s wings pumped, sending smoke-scented air wafting around Dex. “After we’re bonded, we’ll be linked telepathically. We won’t share thoughts, but we will sense each other’s feelings. I hear it can be controlled to an extent, but there will be times when hiding from each other will be impossible. We can discuss this further and wait until you’re comfortable.”
“No. I want to mate now. Ollie already told me about the bond’s emotional connection. I want to feel you and show you all of me. I need to be yours, Luc.”
Luc tipped his head back and growled, the sound long andlow, almost agonized. Then he pounced on the bed, and Dex yelped in surprise.
In a flash, Luc was on him, his hands seemingly everywhere at once. It took Dex long seconds to process that Luc was ripping his clothes to shreds.
He was naked and panting less than a minute later. “Luc, please.”
Luc hovered over Dex, who was splayed on his back like an offering. “Mm. Greedy little mate.” He wrapped his hand around Dex’s hard cock. There was a tingling sensation, and wetness bloomed between Luc’s palm and Dex’s sensitive skin.
“Yes.” Dex arched into Luc’s lube-slick touch, but Luc took his hand away.
“Touch yourself for me. I want to see what I missed on the phone the other night.”
Dex hastily grabbed his slick cock and stroked. “Like this?”
Luc sat back, purring loudly as he watched. “Just like that. Jerk it until you’re about to come, then stop.”
Dex whimpered. Fuck. Luc hadn’t given him permission to come. He hadn’t come in so many days, it might as well have been forever. “I’m not gonna last long.”
“Try for me. You can do it.”
Dex fucked his fist, the slide of the magical lube combined with Luc’s hungry gaze—like he was on the brink of devouring him—was too much to take. Dex’s balls drew up, and he groaned.
He stopped, dropping his cock like it had burned him. He leaked precum, but he didn’t tip over the edge.
Sweat gathered along his brow. He’d done it. But oh, god, if he moved, he might come and ruin everything.
“Good boy.” Luc’s red gaze burned as he took in Dex’s naked body. “So good for me. I love seeing you squirm, trying so hard to please me.”
“Did I please you?” Dex panted.
“Yes. I’m so proud of your restraint, especially after I haven’t let you come all week. And after such a hard day.” Luc wrapped his hand around Dex’s cock, his grip too tight to handle.
“Luc, stop. Wait. I can’t take any more.”
Luc didn’t stop. “I know, my dear. I want to see you come. You have my permission.”
