“You definitely did magic, but maybe it took training before you were able to do it like last night.Maybe it’s something you can only do on the full moon.Maybe it’s a combination of factors.I wouldn’t be a good magic teacher if I didn’t push you to try and find out.”
Will leaned in closer to Sage.“I wouldn’t know how.”
“I can help.You can shift, and then we can try a few easy things.How does that sound?”
Will kissed the spot he’d licked on Sage’s cheek.If he could use magic in his wolf form, he could potentially protect Sage.Better than fucking Carl could.
“I’ll try.Do I get my handjob before that, or are you sending me away to practice my magic?”
“You’re in a good mood for someone who just cleaned blood off the laundry room floor.”
Will knew Sage well enough by now to recognize this for what it was.Sage was trying not to push him too hard, because he didn’t want to rip open barely scabbed-over wounds.Will loved him for it, loved Sage more than he hated that there was a need for his care.
And yet, at the same time, Will wanted to prove to himself and to his mate that he could do things just because he wanted to do them, that he could be spontaneous.He straddled Sage and kissed him, this time on the mouth, reveling in how Sage gave in.
The kiss lingered, the taste of smiles and sunshine mingling with the fresh peppermint flavor of toothpaste.The glide of Sage’s tongue against his made Will want to drag him right back to bed—or better, just tear off his clothes.But he didn’t.He focused on Sage’s careful hands on his back, on the way he let Will lead.
With a sigh, he pulled back.Sage’s eyes were wide.“My wolf really…likes you.I know I’m safe with you, and my wolf wants to please you.”He leaned in for a quick peck.“Iwant to please you.”
“I want to please you too.”Sage’s voice was breathy.“Is it, like…is your wolf like a different entity to you?”
Will shook his head.“No.But when I’m shifted, my instincts work so much better.You know, I can still listen and respond and all that, but there’s less…I don’t know.Like, less self-doubt.”Will licked his lips, enjoying the taste of Sage there.His mate.“In fact…” He draped his arms around Sage’s neck and sifted through his hair with his fingers.“I guess I’m in love with you.Which we don’t have to make a big deal out of at all, and I don’t expect you to reciprocate or—”
Sage shut Will’s mouth with his hand.“Yeah, I love you too.I already told you, and I really meant it.Still want that handjob?”
Will nodded and kissed Sage’s palm before his witch began working Will’s pants open.
“Fuck, you’re hard already,” Sage said.He ran his fingers over Will’s briefs, tracing the outline of his cock through the fabric.
“I’ve been sitting in your lap.”
“That shouldn’t get a person hard.”
“But I like sitting in your lap, rubbing up against you, and getting hard.”Will rocked his hips forward to illustrate his point.
Sage giggled.“Peter will never stop complaining about how bad your manners are if you do things like this.”
“Peter is fucking scary.He’s so alpha.”
“I suggest you never sit in his lap, sweetcakes.”Sage’s fingers dug under the waistband of Will’s briefs, and the moment his fingers brushed Will’s cock, he shivered with desire.
“I so had no plans at all to do that.”
“You wanna take those pants off?”
“Yeah.”
Will stood and worked the annoying denim off.Lemon came for his feet as soon as he set them on the ground, and the cushion’s tenacity didn’t help with the undressing, but Will was determined.
He nearly jumped back into Sage’s lap after, and they went straight to exchanging kisses.Sage let himself be pinned down against the back of the couch, and while they kissed deeply, Sage began stroking, one hand on Will’s butt, holding him steady.
This was perfect, and Will felt the wolf inside him revel in it, in the knowledge that this was his mate touching him, his mate who would make him come, his mate who wouldn’t touch anyone else like he was touching Will now.He wanted to howl with joy, but he moaned when Sage lost his patience for teasing and really went to work, using only Will’s own precum for slickness.
Will fucked into Sage’s hand with abandon.The wolf enjoyed it.He wantedmore more more, wanted his mate, on and inside of him, all over him.
The orgasm was a rough but beautiful thing that shattered Will from the inside out, like glass in a too hot oven.He came all over Sage’s clothes, over his hand, and it was glorious.It was the deepest, hardest, most mind-altering experience Will had ever had.It had only taken a touch for him to get there—except even as he was still shaking in Sage’s arms, he realized it was more than that.
Confused, Will stood and backed away from Sage.
