Rafe’s knot finally started to deflate, and he pulled out of his mate’s body with a groan, flipping Adri onto his back before caging him in with his arms on either side of his head. “I don’t pout.”

Adri grinned. “Does my big, bad, alpha wolf need to feel how much I want you again?”

And that was enough of that.

“Nice try, kitten,” Rafe said, raising himself up on his knees and grabbing the lube so he could slick his fingers.

“What are you doing, Doc?” Adri asked, cocking his head.

Rafe groaned as he pushed two fingers inside himself, using a touch of his power to ease the stretch faster before notching Adri’s cock against his body and sinking back down onto it.

“Fuck!” Adri shouted, bucking up into him as the delicious burn of his hole stretching around each and every one of those delightful ridges rocked him with desire.

Pushing one hand to Adri’s shoulder, and another to his hip, Rafe pinned his mate to the ground and started riding him in earnest, refusing to let Adri do anything but take it, takehim.Adri’s hands clenched into fists by his sides like he knew Rafe wasn’t going to let him get away with touching.

Fuck, Adri was so good for him.

“That’s it, kitten. Just like that. You feel fucking amazing.”

“Rafe, please.”

“Please, what?” Did his mate want to take charge? Rafe would give him anything he wanted.

“Please make me come.”

Rafe’s eyes rolled back in pleasure as he squeezed tight around Adri’s cock, milking him as he rode him. “Come for me, kitten,” he cried, his power flowing through them both to rip their climaxes from them.

The sensation of his mate’s cum filling his body was everything, and his hand drifted down Adri’s chest, pinching at his nipple as he rode him to completion. Rafe’s cock jerked in the air, untouched, red and throbbing as he shot ropes of cum all over his mate’s body, marking him. It wasn’t enough. Nothing would ever be enough.

As soon as Adri’s shivers of pleasure started to subside, Rafe raised himself up, wincing in complaint as he felt the absence of his mate from his body before slinging one of Adri’s legs over his shoulder and shoving back inside him.

This time, he let Adri move with him as he fucked him into the ground, revelling in the way his mate’s eyes had rolled back in his head as his body tensed with pleasure. The bond between them was sharing every sensation between them in a never-ending crescendo of raw desire and ecstasy.

“Holy fuck. How many times are you going to make us come?” Adri moaned, already riding the edge of another climax as Rafe pounded into him.

Sweat dripped from his body to Adri’s despite the chill air as Rafe’s mouth twitched in a filthy smirk.

“Allthe times. And in between, I’m going to take you home and make sure you never want for anything ever again.”

“You already do that for me. You always have. You promised me once that you would always be here for me. That you would always come when I call. Now, I’m going to do the same for you. Forever,” Adri said, wrapping his legs around Rafe’s waist and lifting his head to draw him into a deep kiss as their lovemaking turned slower and deeper.

It was everything Rafe had always wanted. Everything Adri had defied for so many years. It was justeverything.

CHAPTER 20: MARCO

The familiar bittersweetache of watching his pack find their mates hit hard as Marco sat at his desk, taking in the couples filling the room. Sassy vampire Vin, who his grumpy head of security, Angelo, had fallen so hard for despite himself. Cal, who’d healed the broken pieces of Luca’s heart that Marco had never quite managed to touch. The searing heat burning between Emmy and his biker witch Rocco. And their newest pairing. The one he’d been rooting for the longest. Their doc had finally seduced his cagey jaguar, and it was everything it had promised to be.

“Forever looks good on you, Doc,” Marco said, eyes trailing down to the telltale bulge in Adri’s pants as he sat on his mate’s lap.

“Alpha,” Rafe said, warning in his tone, and Marco tipped his head in silent apology.

It wasn’t that he would ever try to insert himself into their relationships; it’s just that he could feel some of what they were feeling through the pack bonds he had with each of them. It was enough to drive his wolf crazy. There was a hole deep inside himthat he kept hidden where his own mate had lived—and died—before they could bond. He would defend these pairs with his dying breath to protect what they had together, and he would crave it to his dying breath just as much.

“Did we learn anything from the other fighters?” Marco asked, turning to Silas, who’d stepped in to support the rescued guys while Adri was distracted with his mating, as he should be.

Adri straightened where he sat, leaning forward with predatory focus and a heavy side of guilt.

“They were held longer than Adri, so they saw more. They reported multiple staging areas in the tunnel system and the scents of way more shifters than we knew about.”
