Duron nodded. “All the krakens are mated. And then Ajani mated with Marvin. They all cuddle their partners, and Ajani doesn’t seem to mind when Marvin does it to him.”
Beaumont guessed Ajani was another assassin. “What are your instincts telling you that you want to do with me? Can you just go with them?”
Duron moved so quickly, he was a blur. One minute he was standing just out of arm’s reach, the next there was a weight slamming into Beaumont’s chest as Duron took them both to the floor. Beaumont’s shirt was ripped from his neck, and then there were teeth slicing through this skin—fuck, he’s bitten me.Not to be outdone, Beaumont ripped Duron’s muscle shirt in the same way, his alligator chuffing in satisfaction as his teeth slid into Duron’s thick neck.
Chapter Three
Duron
Sometimes in Duron’s life, particularly when he was younger, he’d felt out of control. As he’d grown into an adult, the training forced on them became second nature and those feelings disappeared. With Beaumont they were back, and nothing helped when his bear and the other parts of him wanted to—bite. Beaumont’s encouragement was all it took to let go.
His animal instincts firmly in charge, they hit the ground so hard they kind of bounced before Duron bit down on the exposed skin the torn shirt revealed. Rich, earthy blood filled his mouth, and he swallowed deep when sharp teeth dug into his neck.
His senses swam at the intoxicating scent coming from his mate while the blood flowing through his veins ignited with pure need.
The cock wanting to pound at something, preferably Beaumont’s ass, drilled against the fly of his jeans. Pain and pleasure mixed as he drove his hips against Beaumont.
The groan Beaumont released around his bite rippled through Duron, caressing the sensitive parts of his body he’d never explored before. Sex wasn’t something he’d really given much thought to until recently.
When Marvin mated with Ajani, he’d not thought about them doing it, ‘cause that was gross, but more about the why’s and the wherefores’ of having sex. Ajani, like him, hadn’t appeared interested until Marvin, and although it was probably wrong to think about seeking answers from other men while he was with his mate, Duron wasn’t particularly sure his need to rut violently was how he should feel.
Beaumont was strong. His grip revealed the inner strength hidden inside whatever shifter he was. Yet Duron was aware of how he could cause harm if he let go and embraced the animal instincts warring inside of him.
They rolled as Beaumont’s teeth released and he lapped at Duron’s skin, sending more waves of desire through him. The wildness coursing through his veins wanted to find a way out and Duron was losing the battle.
“Taste so good,” Beaumont murmured, his hot breath ghosting over the damp skin he’d bitten.
Shivers ran through Duron, making him pant and cling on. His hips bucked as they rolled over the floor, hitting furniture as they went. Things crashed around them, neither of them seemed to care.
Large hands stroked up under the parts of his muscle shirt that remained on him. Rough, calloused palms touched his body in ways he’d never have imagined would make him burn.
Blood pumping so hard, Duron’s ears buzzed as hands turned to claws and he shredded any piece of clothing, touching either of them. There was laughter against his neck as Beaumont shoved him onto his back, his full lips traveling down his neck, over his collarbone, then lower towards his puckered nipples.
Beaumont’s glittering eyes met his. The desire Duron witnessed in the eyes of his friends was there, staring at him. He’d never felt so seen in his whole life. His heart swelled with a mix of emotions he wasn’t sure how to deal with. “I’ve never done this with a man before, so you’ll need to tell me if you like it.”
“Done wh—”
The thought fled as a warm, wet tongue flicked over his nipple and Duron’s body shuddered so hard he nearly dislodged the large man on top of him. When he tightened his arms, he got a full naked body rub, sending his cock into overdrive.
The scent coming from their lower bodies made Duron’s mouth water. The sweet-salty aroma was better than the popcorn he loved that was both sweet and salty.
Wet, hot suction was applied to his nipple. “Argh,” he howled, as wet heat spread between them, increasing the salty smell. His limbs lost all coordination as Beaumont’s mouth tortured the small nub. His teeth bit down, causing an ache and yet more spurts to fire from his cock.
Beaumont slithered his lower body against Duron’s spreading the wetness, making their cock’s glide easily together. Duron’s eyes rolled into the back of his head at the delightful sensations coming at him from all directions. His mouth fell open, and he grunted and groaned loudly.
Before he could fathom what was happening Beaumont flipped him on to his front then pulled up on his hips until Duron was on all fours. His right leg protested, a dull ache that had persisted since the vampire chewed on him, made its presence felt.
He moaned in complaint as Beaumont came over his back and pressed into him, adding more weight to the leg.
“Fuck, sorry did I hurt you,” Beaumont asked, as Duron was once more flicked over, like he was half the size he actually was, revealing a concerned looking Beaumont.
“No, just an injury I got before I came here.”
He hadn’t finished explaining before Beaumont was examining his body. The moans started again as hands slid over his taut muscles as they got treated to sensual touches. Beaumont met his gaze and seeing it wasn’t pain, he didn’t stop.
Where the vampire had chewed on him, Beaumont moved between his thighs and got down and kissed the scarred skin. The act was so not what Duron had experienced in his life, he couldn’t quite catch his breath at the reverence his mate showed.
An ache developed at the back of his stinging eyes as Beaumont kissed his way down to his ankle then back up the leg. His gaze held Duron’s as he laid sweet kisses to his skin.
