Leaning closer to his flesh, I lick a stripe up his neck, tasting sweat and his natural flavor.
Before he can beg again, I clamp my lips around Maverick’s pulse point, sucking almost to the point of pain. A deep,shuddering moan rolls through him as his hole contracts around my cock, his orgasm bursting out of him. I’m not far behind, coming inside him, wave after wave of my orgasm exploding out of me.
It’s like a bubble of pure pleasure wraps around us, every touch, every moan, every sense heightened. My brain is wiped clean of everything but my mate, how he feels in my arms, the new thread that links us together irrevocably. Through that link, I can feel his pleasure, his happiness, his uncertainty, hislove.
I feel every part of Maverick, and I know for a fact that he meant it when he said he loved me. We may not know everything about each other, but our feelings are real. We have the rest of our lives to learn what makes the other one happy and how we can please each other.
For now, we love each other and that’s enough.
When I’m drained, I release the suction I have on Maverick’s neck and help lower him from his tiptoes. He chuckles, his head leaned against my pecs. I look down at him, seeing how radiant and content he looks and vow to always keep this look on his face. I will find a way to take care of him, to make his life as easy as possible so he can enjoy it to the fullest.
“Wow,” he breathes, opening his eyes to gaze up at me. “That was?—”
“I love you too,” I interrupt him, not wanting another moment to go by that he doesn’t know.
Maverick sighs and pushes against my hips. I pull out of him and he moans, his body quivering. “I’ll never get used to feeling this good.”
I turn him around and pick him up, plonking him on the counter. He spreads his legs, allowing me to step closer to him. “It’ll always be like that. I swear it.”
Tipping his neck to the side, I admire the deep purple of my mating mark. It’s fucking beautiful, something I never thoughtI’d put on someone’s skin. I thought Barry would be the one, but he wasn’t right. I never felt the level of feelings for him that I do with Maverick. Not even close.
What I feel for Maverick is so big that I can barely contain it within my body. He’s so patient, so kind, so sweet, so fucking hot. He’s everything I wished I’d had even before I fucked up with Blossom. Now that I finally have it, I won’t be letting him go.
“How does it look?” Maverick asks as I continue to stare at the mark, my fingers lightly brushing over the spot.
“Amazing. Almost as beautiful as you.”
He loops his arms around my neck, his fingers playing with the hairs at my nape. A blush colors his cheeks, and my heart does a funny fluttering thing as I stare at the pink patches. “I canfeelit.” He closes his eyes and hums contentedly. “Will I always feel this…pulsing thread between us?” He opens his eyes and his bright gaze locks with mine.
“Always. You’ll always know how I feel, just as I’ll know how you feel. We can be in a crowded room, separated by dozens of people, and I’ll feel you.”
Maverick smiles and leans forward, offering me puckered lips. How could I possibly turn that down?
We break the kiss only when Maverick shifts and grunts. I pull back and meet his gaze with a raised eyebrow. He looks almost shy as he says, “Your cum is leaking out of me.” His eyes blow wide, then he lowers his head to my shoulder. “Ugh, now we have to throw out the asparagus and bacon. No one wants cum-covered finger foods.”
“I wouldn’t turn down finger foods covered inyourcum,” I say as I rub his back.
“God, Cade, that’s so gross.” He giggles and slides off the counter. “Help me clean up, then we can shower. I think whatwe have will be enough. If anyone is hungry after it’s all gone, we can order pizza or something.”
“Sounds good to me.” I scoop Maverick up in my arms, making him snort a laugh, as I cart him to the bathroom.
“We gotta clean up the cum veggies,” he squeals, his head tipped back with glee.
“Later. Right now, I want to clean you up.” I plant a hard kiss on his lips as we step into the bathroom. “With my tongue.”
I kick the door shut.

MAVERICK
Cadeand I take a long shower, touching and kissing under the cold shower spray. To heat him up, I gave him a blowjob that almost shorted the circuits of his brain, but he wasn’t complaining.
After we got out, I slid on underwear and hurried to the kitchen to clean up after us. There was cum left on the counter from where it leaked out of me and I knew for a fact the vegetables and bacon were a wash.
Feeling icky because it’s so unsanitary to fuck in a kitchen, I gather the food and toss it in the trash. Cade comes around the corner, laughing at me as he leans against the refrigerator, clad only in a pair of briefs.
I give him a dry look and throw out more bacon. “This is all your fault. You and your magic fingers and magic dick.”
