Adri leaned down, pressing a kiss to his lips at the same time as he reached down to stroke his hard length. Rafe’s wolf lunged to the forefront of his mind, and raw need flooded his system. Playful was nice, but now heneeded.
Rolling them in one smooth move, Rafe flipped Adri onto his hands and knees, burying his face between his mate’s legs before he could do more than gasp a surprised laugh that quickly turned to desperate panting as Rafe laved over Adri’s soft, slippery hole with his tongue. He’d been starving for his mate for thirteen years, and now he wasravenous.
Gripping Adri’s thick, muscled thighs tight enough to bruise, he ate him out like he’d die if he couldn’t devour his mate’s taste, like pushing his tongue deep into his mate’s body was his sole purpose in life. Reaching around his waist, Rafe started jerking him off frantically at the same time as he used a touch of his power to make sure Adri didn’t come. The next time his mate climaxed was going to be on his fucking knot with Rafe’s fangs buried in his skin.
“Fuck! Rafe. Please!” Adri moaned, pushing back onto his tongue before thrusting forward into his fist like he couldn’t figure out which sensation he’d rather chase. “Need you inside me. Need you to claim me. Don’t make me keep begging, Rafe.”
Grabbing the lube, Rafe pulled back to slick his fingers, pushing three of them in at once as he monitored his mate’s body for any discomfort. His knot would be no joke, but neither of them had the patience for drawn-out foreplay.
“But you’re so pretty when you beg, kitten.”
Adri snarled at him over his shoulder, and it sent another shot of lust straight to his dick. Pausing in the moonlit night, Rafe slowed things down, sliding a featherlight hand up his mate’s spine until that delicious feline arch grew even deeper, and pressing gently between his shoulders until he dropped his chest right down to the grass.
“Rafe, please,” Adri whined, hips shifting as he sought the touch of his mate’s body where he needed it most that Rafe was denying him.
No way could he deny his mate’s sweet pleading. Pressing the head of his cock to Adri’s body, Rafe felt tears gathering in his eyes as he finally, finally, pushed inside. He’d waited so long to feel that tight heat wrapping around him. Waited so long for his mate to choose to submit. A part of him had wondered if Adri would ever be ready. Now, as he pushed inside his body in one perfect, slow thrust, it felt like he was coming home. Overwhelmed by sensation, Rafe could already feel the base of his cock tingling where his knot would form once they bonded.
“Do it,” Adri said, pushing back into him.
“Want to make it last,” Rafe murmured.
“Next time,” Adri said, because there would be a next time, and all the times after.
Reaching down to grab Adri’s shoulder, Rafe pulled him more upright. The next time he thrust hard into his mate’s body, his lips were brushing close to that perfect, tempting dip where his neck met his shoulder as his balls slapped against his mate’s ass.
“Fuck, yes! Right there,” Adri whined, his inner muscles gripping Rafe’s cock tight as he tried to pull further out again, only to give in and thrust back inside Adri in tight, desperate movements.
With his power, he could feel the way his mate’s prostate was being stimulated by every movement of his body. He amped up the sensation until Adri was rutting and desperate beneath him. He might not be able to make this last, but he could make it just as intense and satisfying.
“Love you so much,” Rafe said, biting his lip with sharpened fangs as he fought for control.
“So, show me,” Adri groaned, tilting his head to the side in a submission as perfect as any wolf would have.
It was too much. He couldn’t wait any longer. Leaning in close, Rafe caught Adri’s skin between his teeth, biting down almost hard enough to break the skin as he kept up his driving thrusts into his mate’s body.
“Please. Bite me. Make me yours. Claim me.” Adri’s words were becoming more and more slurred as he lost himself to pleasure. It was a thing of beauty to see.
With one final thrust, Rafe finally let his teeth sink into his mate’s skin, biting deep and feeling the sweet taste of life-changing, soul-healing blood fill his mouth. His knot swelled impossibly fast as he felt the mate bond click into place between them, and a little piece of Adri take refuge deep inside him where he could hold him close forever. As soon as his teeth pulled clear, Adri was twisting in an impressive demonstration of feline flexibility, and his jaguar’s teeth sank into the skin over his pec, right above his heart. Pleasure like he’d never known flooded his body as their orgasms rocked through them, his vision whiting out as he sank into ecstasy.
When they finally came back to themselves, they were a tangled mess of limbs and sweat on the grass. Rafe nuzzled in close to Adri’s neck, mouthing over the quickly healing mate bite that would show his mark as a silver scar forever.
“I’m impressed you managed to bite that deep into my chest,” he murmured with a smile.
Adri twisted to press a kiss to his lips, tugging at them with his teeth. “Yeah, well. I’m not a wolf and I’m not going to bite like one.”
“You’re perfect.”
“You don’t mind?” Adri asked softly.
Rafe almost wished his knot would deflate faster so he could turn his mate over and see him better for this, but the thought was fleeting as the throbbing pleasure of Adri’s body gripping his length distracted him. They were wrapped so tightly around each other that they didn’t need to be face-to-face. Plus, Rafe could feel his mate’s reassuring presence deep inside now. Could feel the cautious, fragile hope Adri had for this thing between them.
“I love it. I love you. Can you feel how much?” Rafe asked, pushing every emotion he was feeling down the bond toward his mate until Adri’s eyes turned wide and his mouth trembled.
“You … I had no idea,” Adri said.
Rafe grumbled against his mate’s skin, thrusting his hips a little to feel his body convulse around him. “I know. I waited so long for you to realise. Now you never need to doubt again.”
“Are you pouting?” Adri asked with a smile.
