Will wasn’t sure exactly what had happened, and kissing Sage’s pecs and teasing his nipples took precedence over thinking about magic.Sage’s sharp intake of breath when Will started sucking on a nipple got those beautiful blue eyes to finally open and fully focus.
“You usually prefer licking, sweetcakes.”
Will sucked, and Sage’s head dropped back even as his hands went down Will’s sides, but then he pulled them away.
“Don’t.”Will sat up.It allowed him to grind down on Sage, but it also made Sage look up at him.“I want you to touch me, I… If it’s too much, I’ll tell you to stop, but I don’t want you to feel like you have to pull away from me every time you lose yourself in the moment.”
Sage opened his mouth, and it looked like he would argue for a second, but then he said “Okay” and his palms settled back on Will’s thighs.And since the moon was still out and since that technically made it the wolf’s time, that part of Will howled with pleasure, demanding more.
“I also want this.”Will touched Sage’s hardening cock.“I want you inside me.”Will could tell Sage wasn’t certain what he should say, so rather than wait for a response, Will put his palm over Sage’s mouth.“I know what I want.Okay?”
Sage nodded.The wolf was glad.
Before Will could go back to tasting his mate, Sage gently moved Will’s hand away.
“We can use a condom, if you want to.I know human STIs don’t jump over to shifters, and my last test was negative, but condoms are great.”He grinned.“I may or may not have spelled some for extra texture.”
Will smiled at Sage.“I need to…I’d like to do it without.”
Will’s wolf wouldn’t have wanted it any other way, not with his mate, not with soft, delicious Sage, and not when the moon was already heightening everything.
Sage stroked Will’s thighs.“That’s fine, sweetcakes.We’ll do whatever you want.”
Will bent down to kiss Sage sweetly.They’d used some of his custom-made lube when they’d gotten off together before.The magic in it made it easy to apply and ensured it got where it needed to without too much fussing.Will leaned over the side of the futon and retrieved the bottle.He shoved Sage’s pants down fast, admiring that ready cock he’d soon claim.He slicked his own fingers, knowing it would go easier if he stretched himself, but he’d never done it before.
It’s going to be a test though.If I can do it, then…then we can do this.
Will reached behind himself.He knew if it hadn’t been the full moon, this would’ve been difficult.As it was, he was able to focus on the moment, to relax gradually, to feel himself and make sure it didn’t hurt.
The experience alone was so very different from what he’d experienced before.It’s only going to be better with Sage.
Sage was staring up at him.Insecurities scratched at the corners of Will’s mind, but he could see Sage’s face, could see that he was enjoying the show.
“You know you’re very hot, right?”Sage asked.
Will made a satisfied wolf noise.The praise was sugar water, cotton candy, chocolate icing.The wolf loved it.The wolf wanted to please Sage so badly that it almost hurt.
Sage gaped when Will took his cock in hand and guided the tip toward his hole.It occurred to Will that he had never done this, had never been with someone he wanted before Sage.The four years didn’t count, Will decided.He wasn’t a virgin, but at the same time he was, and as he lowered himself slowly so he could adjust to Sage entering him, he was set on memorizing all of this; each moment, each thought, each tiny thing Sage said or did.
This was Will’srealfirst time, and it was with the man he loved.
“Fuck, Will, you feel so good.”
Sage was near breathless, his chest flushed and fingers digging hard into Will’s thighs.
“You feel better,” Will said.
With a last twist of his hips, Will seated himself fully, and Sage was finally deep inside him.It felt good, but not just physically.It was the closeness and intimacy.It was the absence of panic and the sense of safety that had replaced it.The knowledge that this could end anytime, whenever Will said so.
Sage adjusted his grip to cup Will’s butt.Will placed his own hands on Sage’s elbows, a reassurance for both of them, and by holding on to his mate, he held himself in the moment.He wanted to be inthismoment, not in the darkness of the past.
Moving was awkward at first.The sensations were too powerful, too electrifying, and Will’s muscles faltered.But when he did start moving, it got even better, and the way it made Sage’s face lose all those controlled expressions and dissolve into pure bliss, that was worth chasing after.
As he got closer to release, the wolf roared inside of Will.It was the knowledge that this made Sage Will’s as much as the way each touch, each gyration, built new memories of joy, rather than illuminating old ones filled with pain.Even if it wouldn’t be like this every time after, it was a step, a taste of what could be.
Perhaps, after everything, there was a happily ever after for Will, rather than an endless dance of pain shod in the hot irons of the past.
Will leaned down to kiss Sage, who couldn’t seem to focus on that in between moans, and that wouldn’t do.With a hand behind Sage’s head, Will pulled him upright.He continued to ride him, but the new position made it easier for Sage to hug him, touch him, and he did, but only for those few moments more that it took Sage to come.
