In a heartbeat, they were at their door, sliding into their apartment, and locking the door behind them. Pressing the little button that put a little tiny light shining above their doorbell that meant “do not disturb.”
He thought that was a clever thing. And Talon had told him that was Kami’s idea. Kami was very, very invested in not being disturbed.
Talon didn’t let him down in their front room. Instead, he took them straight back to the big bedroom and then shut that door as well.
He grinned at his bracken. “Are there enough doors between us and the outside?”
Talon gave him an arch look. “Possibly. Possibly not. I do not wish to be interrupted.”
“Well then, braaken, by all means, let us not be interrupted.” To make sure that his point was very clear, Mercury stripped out of his tunic, skinned out of his trousers and stood there, bare as the day he was born.
Talon swallowed, staring, his eyes huge in his stern face. “Hailee… You’re beautiful.”
Mercury ducked his head, his cheeks heating. “Do you think so?” He knew he was still very thin, but the way Talon looked at him made him believe his condition had improved a great deal.
“Yes. I do.” Talon stripped off his clothes, baring his huge, scarred body, and Mercury knew Talon was the beautiful one.
And his cock… Goodness. That was a work of art.
“Are you going to touch me, love?” Talon stepped right up to him, hands bracketing his hips.
“I am.” And he did, wrapping his fingers right around Talon’s girth, stroking that hard cock up and down, up and down. His mate had been very patient.
“Uhn.” Talon rocked into his touch, then raised one hand to cradle his head, fingers under his hair. The kiss Talon gave him seared his lips and his nerves. There was no more holding back. Talon was ready to show him all there was. To knot him.
His breath caught at the idea, and Mercury laughed, the sound joyful against Talon’s mouth.
That’s so lovely. I want you happy.
I’m ready to be happy.He climbed Talon’s body, and they ended up sprawled on the bed together.He loved how Talon felt above him, balancing part of his weight on his elbows so he didn’t crush Mercury at all.
“No smooshing,” Talon agreed, kissing him again. One hand swept down his body, trailing over his chest, his belly, his hip. It came back to grasp his cock, and Mercury cried out, arching up.
His ass clenched, and he could feel how wet he already was. If he had been worried things weren’t going to work, Mercury knew he didn’t have to be concerned now. All of his parts seemed to be ready to take Talon in.
He arched his back, eyes wide as he bowed. He was starving for this. For Talon’s touch.
“Mmmm. So lovely. So responsive to me.” Talon’s rough voice was a caress all its own.
He hoped so. His entire body yearned toward Talon. He needed to be filled, to be spread and opened and?—
Knotted.
He craved being knotted.
Talon smiled down at him, and Mercury’s skin felt flushed and tight. Then Talon began to stroke him, base to tip, and his entire focus ended at his prick, his balls going heavy, his blood rushing south.
“You’re wet for me,” Talon murmured. “I can smell you. You’re so sweet.”
No one had ever said such things to him, not ever. “I want to be sweet for you.”
“Mmhmm…and a little spicy too, hmm?”
He nodded. He wasn’t a virgin, even if it had been a long time. He knew about making love, and he wasn’t afraid.
In fact he was eager, and he wanted Talon to understand that.
So he reached for Talon’s cock, wrapping his fingers around the base and tugging, pulling in slow, easy tugs. He encouraged Talon’s knot to grow—not too much, because otherwise it would never fit inside him, and goddess knew he wanted to be filled until he could barely breathe, until all he knew was Talon.
