After his mate voiced Reif’s biggest fear, he rubbed his face before saying, “I have no idea…I hope so because, frankly, I don’t know how much longer I can do this shit.”
“Maybe I can help ye…what are ye looking for?” Brian asked.
“Supposedly the largest green diamond in the world, called the Serpent’s Teardrop.”
“That’s what yer doing in my loch? Looking to steal somethin’?” asked Brian.
“Not steal it,” said Reif. “Find it. All the clues I have led me to Loch Ness as its location but I’ve searched and either I’m missing something or it’s not there.”
“I know my loch like the back of my hand and never have seen anything like that.”
“That’s the same conclusion I reached, but I must keep looking. Time is running out and if I don’t hand it over soon, my people are going to pay the price.”
“Can I see these clues?” asked Brian.
“Sure, but they’re back at my place. But unless you know of a hidden house under the loch, I don’t think they’ll be of much use to you,” Reif said.
“A house? Underwater? Naw, ye must have the wrong loch,” replied Brian. “It canna be mine.”
“That’s what I’m thinking…so that just puts me back at the ‘fuck, now what’ stage.” Then Reif said, “Let’s forget about that for now. I’d rather talk about us. Were you born here or did you move to the loch?”
“Wait,” said Brian. “Before we get into that, what kind of beast is a sea dragon? I never heard of it,” said Brian.
“I’m not surprised, though Kieran knew. Hmmm, well, I can shift into two different creatures…one is similar to yours and that’s the one I use when I’m underwater. The other looks like a giant serpent but with two small wings rising out of the spine behind the head,” Reif explained.
“Ye can fly with that one?” asked Brian.
“Well, yes, but not fast.”
“Can ye use yer abilities in all forms?” asked Brian.
“No, underwater only the camouflage works. But on land the god made a perfect creature to be a thief,” Reif answered. “Virtually undetectable.”
“Ye have been stealin’ for five hundred years? How old are ye?” asked Brian.
“About a thousand years old. How old are you?” asked Reif.
“650 years auld. I thought ye were younger than me,” Brian said.
“Nope, I’m the old one in this relationship,” Reif chuckled.
“Shall I call ye daddy?” teased Brian.
“Only if you want me to put you over my knee and spank you.” Reif said with a lascivious grin.
Holy fuck!Brian’s eyes dropped to Reif’s lips, sending all kinds of crazy signals to his cock. Keeping his gazelocked on his mate’s wicked mouth, he reached down, re-arranging his raging hard-on, trying to relieve the pressure of its confinement in his jeans.
Seeing his mate’s response, Reif rounded the island, then, turning Brian to face him, leaned in, his lips ghosting over his mate’s. “Kiss me, Nessie,” he whispered.
The puffs of air from his mate’s whisper across his lips pulled a groan from the depths of Brian’s chest; his need ratcheted up, making him weak in the knees, forcing him to grab his mate’s hips for support. Never before had desire for anyone consumed him like this and, before he knew what was happening, Brian pressed his lips against Reif’s, moaning at the taste. Feeling their bond tighten, Brian’s hand buried itself in his mate’s hair, pulling it toward him until Reif returned his kiss.
The sharp pain in Reif’s scalp only added to the fire his mate’s kiss had ignited in him. Needing more, he thrust his hips forward, grinding against Brian’s heavy, thick cock, opening his mouth and sucking his mate’s tongue inside. It was at that moment, Reif realized there would never be a time he didn’t want his mate.
Brian felt the rough stubble on Reif’s jaw scrape along his face, sending shards of pleasure pulsing down to his cock, hardening it as never before. When he felt Reif’s leg push between his thighs, Brian’s eyes rolled back in his head as the increased pressure against his cock inflamed the desire burning throughout his body. Shouting Reif’s name, Brian’s body stiffened as he rode his mate’s leg, his orgasm finally erupting from his cock, filling his pants with cum. Now breathless, Brian’s head dropped down on Reif’s chest, his heart beating rapidly as he floated in the calm after the storm.
Holding his mate tenderly against his body, Reif grinned as he felt the wetness inside his own jeans. He couldn’t remember the last time he came in his pants but…damn, if my mate just didn’t make me do it.He needed serious cuddle time right now so gathering Brian in his arms, Reif headed in the direction of where he hoped the bedroom was.
