"We don't have to decide tonight." He patted the bed beside him. "Come here."
I couldn't resist the gentle pull his words had on my tattoo. I padded to the bed, loosening the loop of my towel until it dropped to the floor, leaving me as naked as he was.
My skin felt hot as his gaze traveled down the length of my body and back up. I crawled over to him, deciding at the last possible second to angle my leg across his lap, straddling him.Instead of feeling self-conscious, I took control. Caressing his cheeks, I leaned down and rubbed my lips over his. Even after hours outdoors, they were as soft as silk, and his tongue danced against mine when I let him in.
Time seemed to stop when we kissed. The connection of our lips transported us to another dimension where only we existed, sharing our breath, living for each new touch, aching to get even closer. If this was what it was like to have a fated mate, I was all for it.
"I need you," Mika whispered against my lips before trailing kisses along my jaw. "Please. Need it now. Want you inside me."
Wait, what? That wasn't the normal way of things. I was the Omega here. "You're vers?" I asked.
"Yeah. Is that so wrong?"
"No! No, not at all. I had no idea. Wow." I'd topped betas before, but I assumed I would have to give that up when I met my alpha. "You're telling me you'd let me fuck you? Just this once, or like?—"
"No! Whenever you want. Whenever we want. If you don't want to?—"
"Oh, no." I splayed my hand on his chest and met his liquid brown gaze. "I'm just astounded, that's all. You've changed my entire world view."
He frowned. "In a good way or a bad way?"
"So good." I tucked my chin against his shoulder and nibbled a trail of kisses up his neck. "Do you have condoms?"
"You don't need them." He squirmed beneath me, and his cock slid against mine, already slick with precome. "I can't catch human diseases. I also can't get pregnant."
I puffed a laugh against his throat, and he shivered. "Not with that attitude, you won't!"
He laughed with me. "I'm up for trying, if you are."
"Oh, yes." I kissed him again, claiming his mouth and leaving a promise of more unspoken. I worshiped his body with featherlight nips and flicks of my tongue sweeping over the planes of his chest. His perked nipples were too tempting to resist on my way down. I pinched both between my teeth, and Mika panted and squirmed. When I laved the sensitive flesh with the flat of my tongue, he moaned.
As fun as it was to tease him, my mission's objective lay between his legs. A thick line of sleek, still-damp hair ran between his pecs and narrowed above his belly button, pointing the way. I held his hips down and plundered the divot with my tongue. Soap mingled with the scent of his arousal. I nosed my way lower, certain my sense of smell heightened around him. Though I would never become a meerkat shifter, my animal instincts were on alert.
His cock bounced against my chin while I continued to explore his belly button. "Impatient much?" I asked, looking up the sleek planes of his body to meet his half-lidded stare.
"Sorry." His smug tone removed any sincerity from the word. I licked my lips, my only warning before swallowing him down, and immediately gagging. I'd expected long, but I hadn't prepared myself for how thick he was. Relaxing my jaw, I tried again, this time feeling him in the back of my throat.
It would require a lot of practice for me to take all of him, but that wasn't my goal tonight. I wrapped my fingers around his base and stroked the exposed inches with one hand while I delved the fingers of my other hand into my slick hole, collecting as much as I could. With those fingers, I followed Mika's taint to his smooth pucker and rubbed over his rim. His answering moan made my cock twitch.
"I love a man who knows how to use his slick on someone else." Mika spread his legs wider and flexed his hips. I slid two fingers inside his tight hole, coaxing him open with circularmovements that soon had him thrusting into my mouth and crying out for, "More, please, Gabe, you're killing me."
I pulled off him and added a third finger, pressing inside until he froze and his shaft bounced, dripping precome into his soft pubic hair. "Need you now," he said, his fingers flexing toward my shoulders, though I was too far away to grab.
Or so I thought. With a burst of energy, he curled toward me, his ab muscles flexing, and latched on, pulling me down on top of him. He rolled with me, angling his knees to his chest.
"Wait!" I slid backward out of his grip. "Need more slick, or I'll hurt you."
He watched me, shaking his head, as I scooped more slick from my leaking hole and coated my cock with it.
"Hurry!" His arms flopped back to the bed, and he spread his legs wider for me, aroused, panting, and needy.
I still couldn't believe he wanted me: messy, broken, and a little frazzled after a perfectly imperfect day. My usual debrief would be to lie in bed alone and rethink all my mistakes for the past twenty-four hours. Instead, I was about to plunge my dick into the most gorgeous alpha I'd ever seen. And he wanted me to do it!
"Please, Gabe. Need you."
My head swam with pride as I leaned over him, dipping down for a sloppy kiss before lining my cock up with his entrance. His rim gave little resistance, and I let gravity pull me down, fitting us together like two puzzle pieces.
This was it. I was home, inside my alpha.
