He was being a little over the top but Bel just wanted to enjoy a few moments with his mate before reality took over. Bel had his mate but that didn’t magically fix everything. They still needed to figure out what to do about his mate’s flickers. Bel wanted Atlas to be able to enjoy meeting more friends, including shifters. There was also the danger of the hyena pack that connected Atlas to the pack back in the human realm. Eventually they would need to also locate the demon that had fathered a child, resulting in Atlas being a quarter demon.
All of that could wait until Bel had fed and maybe fucked his mate again. Or got fucked. Riding Atlas’s cock had been amazing and Bel wouldn’t mind doing that again. And again.
Bel hadn’t been joking about how much he needed to be with his mate. Would need to be with him. The glutton gene ran deep within him. It had been hard to make his admission to Atlas. He hadn’t even thought of bringing Atlas to his room, their room, until Atlas had started to look around with a strange look on his face. Bel had felt the need to explain but Atlas had shocked him with his easy acceptance.
He shouldn’t have been surprised. Atlas had been nothing short of amazing from the very beginning.
Picking up a plump purple grape, he offered it to Atlas.
Atlas sucked on Bel’s fingers then took the piece of fruit into his mouth.
They were both naked and Bel’s cock very much liked having Atlas’s mouth on him. Even if it was just Bel’s finger. Next he offered Atlas a bite of a small sandwich.
It went on and on. Bel feeding Atlas two bites to his one.
When he noticed how much Atlas enjoyed the strawberries, Bel made sure the bowl remained full. Finally, their phones stopped dinging and Bel could just enjoy the peace and quiet with his mate.
Eventually, Atlas pushed Bel’s hand away and groaned. “No more. I’m full.”
Bel smirked. He waved the food and drink away before settling beside Atlas. Atlas turned his head and kissed Bel’s shoulder, the place he could reach from his recline.
“Thank you,” Atlas said softly.
“You never have to thank me,” Bel returned. “I would do anything for you.”
Atlas’s smile was bright. “You know it works both ways, right?”
Bel didn’t know what that meant. “Both ways?”
“I would do anything for you too,” Atlas told him with a frown. Quickly, he threw his leg over Bel to straddle his waist. He sat on Bel’s lap with Bel’s erection against his ass and grabbed Bel’s face. “You are my mate too.”
“Yes.” Bel nodded.
“That means that I will do anything for you,” Atlas repeated. “We’re partners in this.”
Bel looked around the room, avoiding the intense look in Atlas’s eyes.
“Look at me.” Atlas didn’t wait for Bel to comply and moved Bel’s face for himself.
Bel didn’t fight him though.
“There you go,” Atlas told him.
Bel stared at his mate.
“You are perfect just the way you are, Bel. I can’t wait to see more of you. For you to trust me.”
“I trust you!” Bel quickly replied. He did!
“Yet you’re still nervous that—” He waved a hand around. “I wouldn’t understand your need for collecting things.”
“It’s a sin,” Bel confessed.
Atlas slowly leaned forward to kiss him. He kept the kiss small and drew back until their lips were just inches apart. “It’s a sin that I will be happy to help you indulge in.”
Bel closed his eyes as acceptance filled him. “Mate.” He whispered the word.
“Mine,” Atlas claimed.
