He watched as Mackenzie took out lube and condoms.He was nervous, even though he knew there wasn’t a reason to be.Besides, he wasn’t the only nervous one.He noticed Mackenzie’s hands shaking as he fumbled with the wrapper, finally getting it open.Nico watched him, his heart so full it felt like it might burst.This was real.This was happening.Mackenzie wanted him, wanted this, wantedthem.
“Come here,” Mackenzie said once he was ready, pulling Nico back into his arms.
Nico went eagerly, kissing Mackenzie as Mackenzie lowered him onto his back.Nico’s body was ready, but of course, Mackenzie wasn’t used to that.He took the lube, and Nico opened his legs for him, smiling when Mackenzie’s eyes grew wide at the sight.
“I’m a carrier,” Nico explained.“I’m ready for you.”
Mackenzie nodded, but he still reached out and gently pushed his fingers into Nico’s body.Nico sighed in pleasure, closing his eyes and angling his face toward the ceiling.It felt good, but he wanted more, so he was relieved when Mackenzie didn’t take too long.It was still touching that he made sure that Nico really was ready for him.
Mackenzie eventually knelt between Nico’s legs, pushing them apart gently.Nico hooked his ankles behind Mackenzie’s back, pulling him closer.
The first press of Mackenzie’s cock inside Nico’s body made him moan.Mackenzie pushed in slowly, a long, steady movement that stole the air from Nico’s lungs.Nico made a choked sound as he was filled, but he still wanted more.
Mackenzie began to move, his thrusts building a delicious heat low in Nico’s belly.Every thrust was a promise for more, and he wanted it.Nico’s hands scrabbled to grab the sheets before Mackenzie caught one, linking their fingers together and pinning it beside Nico’s head.Their palms pressed together, and Nico glanced at them.The connection was more than physical, even through the pleasure.
“Mackenzie,” Nico moaned, digging the fingers of his free hand into the muscle of Mackenzie’s back.“Harder.Please.”
Mackenzie’s thrusts became more urgent, his rhythm turning more intense.He leaned down, his mouth finding Nico’s neck.He sucked on the skin there, soothing the spot with his tongue before his teeth found it again.Itmade Nico cry out and cling to him harder.
They moved together.The smell of sex filled the air, and Nico could hear the slick, wet sound of their bodies.It drove him wild.
Mackenzie shifted his angle slightly, and Nico saw stars.His back arched off the bed, a broken sob tearing from his throat.“There!”
That was it.The pleasure building in Nico’s stomach reached its peak.His release ripped through him, his body shaking as hot stripes painted his stomach and chest.Mackenzie groaned and buried himself in Nico one last time.Nico felt him pulse inside of him.
They collapsed together, a tangled heap of trembling arms and legs and harsh breathing.Mackenzie shifted his weight to the side but stayed buried inside Nico for a moment longer, for which Nico was grateful.He wasn’t yet ready to break their connection.He nuzzled into Mackenzie’s neck, placing a soft kiss there.
After a long moment, Mackenzie pulled out of Nico.He tied off the condom and tossed it toward the wastebasket by the bed, missing.It landed on the floor near their discarded clothes, but Nico didn’t care as he snuggled against his boyfriend like he belonged there.
Mackenzie’s fingers traced lazy patterns on Nico’s back, and Nico pressed his face against Mackenzie’s shoulder, overwhelmed by everything he was feeling.
“That was...”Mackenzie started, then laughed.“I don’t have words.”
“Perfect,” Nico offered.“It was perfect.”
“Yeah.”Mackenzie’s arms tightened around him.“It really was.”
They hadn’t cleaned up, which meant they were still sticky with sweat and Nico’s release, and they’d probably regret it in the morning, but Nico didn’t care about any of that right now.He curled against Mackenzie’s side, feeling safe and content in a way he’d never experienced before.
“I can’t believe this is real,” Nico murmured.
“What part?Us?”
“All of it.You, this, the fact that you want me despite everything.”Nico tilted his head to look up at Mackenzie.“The complications, my father’s expectations, the fact that I’ll be alpha someday—”
“I want all of it,” Mackenzie interrupted, his voice gentle but firm.“I want you, which means I want your future, your responsibilities, everything.We’ll figure it out as we go.”
“Even the scary parts?”
“Especially the scary parts.”Mackenzie pressed a kiss to Nico’s forehead.“We’re in this together now.”
Nico closed his eyes, letting the words wash over him.Together.They were together, and whatever lay ahead, they’d face everything side by side.Their secret relationship, telling their families, the future when Nico would take his father’s place—none of it felt as overwhelming when he was in Mackenzie’s arms.
“Stay tonight?”Mackenzie asked quietly.
“I shouldn’t,” Nico said, even as he made no move to leave.“People will notice if I’m not home.”
“Chris will cover for you.He always does.”
