Gray lifted one hand to Simon’s cheek and tilted his face up. Simon could see the swells of emotion in Gray’s eyes, waves of happiness, desire, and even relief flooding from him. Simon began to understand the depth of their connection, of the commitment they’d made to each other.
As Gray stroked his thumb over the light stubble covering Simon’s skin, Simon felt an answering surge of emotion. He leaned in and lightly touched his lips to Gray’s, and Gray immediately opened his mouth to deepen the kiss.
Simon reached for the button of Gray’s jeans and tugged until it came unfastened, then he pulled at the zipper until it was low enough to allow the denim to slide down Gray’s hips. He traced his hands over the elastic of Gray’s boxers and around to his ass, then he slipped his fingers beneath the fabric to find Gray’s heated skin.
Gray pulled away and kicked his jeans and socks off before grabbing Simon. He walked backward to the bed, and when they were close enough, Simon slid his hands to Gray’s chest and gave him a little shove. Gray chuckled as he landed on the bed with a bounce.
Simon slipped down his pajama pants and boxers, then wiggled his hips to get them to fall to the floor. Gray’s focus zeroed in on Simon, and he leaned up on his elbows to get a better view.
Feeling bold, Simon struck a pose and attempted a sexy look. “You like what you see?”
“Much better than those hideous pajamas, I can tell you that.”
Simon laughed and jumped onto the bed. He straddled Gray andran his fingers through the hair on Gray’s chest. When he reached Gray’s nipples, he gave them a little pinch.
Gray gasped and arched his hips up into Simon. When Simon wobbled at the quick maneuver, Gray reached up and grabbed his waist and guided him over his still-covered length. The fabric created a teasing friction through the thin layer of cotton as Gray ground his cock up, adding delicious pressure to the crease of Simon’s ass.
Pleasure shot through Simon’s body, and he dropped down so his chest covered Gray’s. He rubbed against the coarse hair and thrust his dick along Gray’s stomach. “Oh God,” he whimpered, his body thrumming with sensations.
When he slid down so his ass cradled Gray’s cloth-covered erection, he gave a frustrated growl and got off the bed. He reached up and grabbed the edge of Gray’s boxers and jerked them down in one swift motion. Gray’s breath quickened as Simon rummaged through the nightstand drawer and grabbed the lube before pouncing back into his former position.
When he settled, Gray stroked his hands up Simon’s ribs and around his back. He tried to pull him down just enough to kiss, but Simon had other plans. He wiggled his way down until he leaned over Gray’s left pec. He closed his warm mouth over the dusky pink nipple and gave it a wet stroke with his tongue. It hardened into a tight bud just as Simon closed his teeth over it and gave a gentle pull.
Gray gasped and sunk his hand into Simon’s hair, holding him in place. Simon nibbled at the peak, then pulled back and blew a little burst of breath over it. Gray growled deep in his chest, his cock jerking against Simon’s ass. Simon bit his lip at the rumbling sensation and reached over to snag the lube where he’d dropped it on the bed.
He squirted a dollop onto his fingers and reached behind himself. As he traced his fingers over his hole, he met Gray’s eyes and rocked his hips. Their cocks slid together, the dampness from little drops of precome slicking the way. When he finally sank a finger in deep, he had to stop, almost pushed over the edge already.
Gray reached behind Simon and traced over his stretchedentrance. Simon slipped another finger in and released a little mewl of pleasure. Gray let him push his two fingers inside before adding one of his own. Simon gasped and cried out, the arm supporting him shaking as his entire body trembled in need.
“Now, Gray.” He removed his fingers and grabbed Gray’s cock, giving it a quick stroke to coat it with the remaining lube on his hand. When it was sufficiently slicked, Simon guided it to his waiting hole and slowly sank down on it.
Gray’s body tightened, the muscles of his chest and stomach becoming more clearly defined as he fought to keep himself still. Simon watched the silent battle, heard Gray’s breath as he clenched his jaw and let the bursts of air escape through his nose. A low growl rumbled deep in Gray’s chest, the vibrations sending shivers through Simon’s balls and up his back. He realized for the first time that this man, his mate, was an alpha and more powerful than Simon had given him credit for. His strength was only magnified by his ability to control his own needs and let Simon take the lead.
The thought humbled Simon, and his respect for Gray grew even deeper. He covered Gray’s hands with his own where they rested on his hips and held on. He tried to communicate with his eyes his newfound feelings, but he couldn’t even define the emotion.
“You okay?” Gray whispered, his voice showing the strain that remaining motionless caused him.
“More than okay.” Simon raised up just a little, feeling the cock inside him sliding back out. When he felt the edge of the mushroom tip at his hole, he pushed down again. This time, Gray helped, thrusting his hips up in time with Simon’s descent.
Their bodies slapped together, and Simon leaned forward, his lips searching for Gray’s even as he continued the push and pull on his hips. Gray arched his head up to meet him and let Simon control the movement.
Simon rocked on his knees, moving faster and faster until he mewled in frustration. “Harder. Fuck me, Gray.”
Gray complied, grabbing Simon’s hips and holding them steady. He drove up hard, raising and lowering Simon with each long thrust.Simon arched his back, throwing his head back as Gray pegged that spot inside him that sent sparks shooting up his spine.
He yelled Gray’s name as he came, and Gray leaned up to muffle the sound against his lips. Simon bit down, catching Gray’s lip between his teeth as he fought to hold back his screams of pleasure.
Gray’s teeth elongated against his mouth, then his muzzle began to form. Simon rose, the sticky, wet heat of his release coating their stomachs, and saw Gray fighting to hold back his own orgasm until Simon finished.
The spot on Simon’s neck began to tingle at the sight of those teeth. He remembered the strange pain from when Gray had bitten him earlier and joined them together. He knew, at that moment, what he could do to prove his loyalty to both the man and the animal inside him. He tilted his neck to the side and leaned down as Gray stabbed inside him, once, twice, and then a final time. Gray lunged forward and sank his teeth into the mark he’d already placed on Simon’s neck.
Simon cried out, the emotional connection he felt with Gray’s teeth buried in him devouring his every thought. A burst of magic filled the air as Gray shot his release into Simon’s ass. Simon rode the wave of it, the magic inside him swirling in answer to the bond with his mate. He felt the answer in Gray’s magic as their bodies and magics joined completely for the first time. When the furor calmed, Gray released his hold on Simon’s neck, and his cock slipped from Simon’s body.
God, what he does to me, Simon thought as he collapsed on top of Gray.
About the same as what you do to me, came Gray’s reply.
Simon’s eyes shot open, and he lifted his head to stare at the man beneath him.I can hear you.
