“You struck gold with him.”Niall sounded wistful.
“I did.”Morty went and nudged Niall’s shoulder in a friendly and supportive way.“You’ll strike gold too,”—he nodded enthusiastically—“you mark my words.”
“You listen to Morty, he’s never wrong about these things.”
Silence followed for a second before they all fell about laughing at how far from the truth that was.
“Have you spoken to your family about your mating?”asked Morty when back under control and at the counter needing dough.
“I must confess, no.I wanted to let Ernest get used to you guys, seeing as you’re my family, too.Because we all know how dramatic Mom, Dad, and my brothers are gonna be when I tell them.They’ll want to come and meet Ernest, which is great, but they can be a little over the top in their enthusiasm.”
Niall rolled his eyes at Toby.“That’s putting it mildly.I remember when your oldest brother, Lawerence met his mate, enthusiasm, yeah, that was full-on crazy town.”
Toby groaned and blew out a breath.“Yeah, but I can’t really put it off any longer because they have a trip to town planned this weekend.I got a text from Dad reminding me, when I got here this morning, that he wants to see my new apartment.”
“Oh, this is going to be fun.”
Morty actually believed that, Toby could tell by the way he said it.“Do you think I should suggest we go out to dinner rather than let the family descend on Ernest in his home, where he can’t escape?”Toby worried his thumbnail looking between his two friends.
“Ask him, but maybe warn him about the level of excitement coming his way.”
Hours later, sitting in the passenger seat of Ernest’s truck, Toby mulled over how to approach the subject.He could, of course, distract his mate with naked, sexy antics, then tell him?That seemed a little deceitful, despite how much fun that would be.The box of leftover horns of plenty, they were a delight and filled with cherry whipped cream, a favorite of Toby’s.Would they be tempting to Ernest and distract him enough while Toby explained about his family visit?
“Your mind’s very busy over there.”Ernest spoke softly, a habit he had when broaching a subject he was unsure of.
It appeared Toby hadn’t closed off his thoughts when he noticed the distinct scent of arousal coming from Ernest.
“My family is coming to town at the weekend to see my new apartment—”
“You haven’t told them you’ve moved out?Found your mate?”
There was hurt in his tone, but also confusion as to Toby’s reasons.“I’m not sure I’ve truly explained the level of enthusiasm you’re going to be greeted with when my family finds out I have found and claimed my mate.There is over the top, andthen there’s my family.”He put as much emphasis on it as he could, wanting Ernest to understand he wasn’t joking.They were going to be like a whirlwind of happiness scooping everything up in their path.
“So… you aren’t embarrassed—”
“Why, Mister, you can stop right there, I’m not embarrassed.”Toby twisted in his seat when Ernest didn’t take his gaze off the road.“I’m proud and so damn happy I could float about all day on air.And if you weren’t driving right now, I’d climb on your lap and show you just how un-embarrassed I am.”
Toby had felt Ernest’s acceptance of what they had as a couple—as mates—as he’d given chase to Pierre, which spoke to this being a give and take from both partners.Toby got that sometimes it took a little more time to cement a change, but had he sabotaged things?
The scent in the cab strengthened, and the truck slowed.“Why… right … yes… that would be wise to wait.”
Ernest didn’t sound at all happy about the waiting, which eased the growing tightness in Toby’s chest at maybe messing up.Toby placed a hand on Ernest’s thigh and squeezed.“It is, but I suppose I could strip now, ready for when we reach the house?”
Ernest’s frantic thoughts of what a delight that would be came with a heated gaze, which landed on Toby for a brief second before his foot hit the gas pedal and they sped up so fast that Toby was pushed back into his seat.
Toby’s fingers trembled while he wriggled and shimmied out of his clothes at the intoxicating scent of his mate filling his senses.
They hit the drive up to the house so fast that Toby was giggling at his mates' eagerness.The truck came to a juddering halt right as Toby released his seatbelt, his hand going straight for the zip of Ernest’s trousers.He freed his mate from his underwear and, without preamble, climbed onto his lap, his ass slick and ready before he gave thanks for being small enough to fit between his mate and the steering column.
The head of his cock slid delightfully over Toby’s sensitive hole, back and forth, sending pleasure through him.He slammed his mouth to Ernest’s and swallowed the groans as he shimmied his hips, feeling the stretch from the broad head as it snicked past the tight rim of muscle.The burn sent his brain into a tizzy, and he clutched at Ernest’s wide shoulder’s.His mate didn’t move other than his lips against Toby’s.
Ernest’s kiss, a sensual glide of lips, a mating of its own kind, fed the emotions surging through Toby, who unleashed them all on his mate.
This.Feel me.I want everyone to know that you belong to me.
With all the emotions running through him, his body relaxed enough to allow him to continue.To slide down Ernest’s throbbing cock, it pulsed in time to their matching heartbeats.They created magic; it didn’t matter that they were in the truck.There was little space and possibly not very romantic.None of it mattered.Toby could feel the magic between them as he let go and rode his mate to completion.
He couldn’t say how long it was before he slumped against Earnest’s sweaty chest, spent, breathless, and covered in his own cum.A feeling of bliss filling his heart.
