“I know this isn’t how I wanted to make love to you the first time after I finally got the gumption to tell you…but do you mind?” Jessie breathed in his ear.
“If you don’t fuck me already,” Nikolai snarled.
Jessie chuckled, a rough and scratchy sound that made Nik’s balls tighten, directly in his ear as he shifted. He was forced to give up the dizzying touch in order to reach into the bedside table. Nikolai realized Jessie froze somewhere along the way, and he opened his eyes. Even in the hazy, early morning light, he could see Jessie staring at the rose in the plastic cup. It made the minotaur lick his lips nervously, a goofy smile curling up on hisface. But when he realized Nikolai caught him, Jessie jerked into motion. He rummaged through the drawer for a second before returning with lube.
“Sorry, didn’t realize you put it in a vase.”
“Vase is a…loose term. The cup has a cartoon on it.” Nikolai nodded at the Captain Good Bear cup holding his precious prize.
“Captain Good Bear is an important member of this household, just like Barnibus!” Jessie chortled, smacking Nikolai on the arm before flopping back into the bed. “He’s a worthy vase.”
Nikolai rolled his eyes, shaking his head but he couldn’t stop the big grin from crawling up on his face. Especially not as Jessie pressed two slick fingers to his backside, his other hand returning to tormenting his weeping cock. Nik sighed dreamily, leaning back into Jessie’s furnace of a chest. Jessie murmured nonsense into Nik’s ear, nothing made of actual words, mostly groans and appreciative hums as he worked his fingers deeper. Sparklers ignited behind Nik’s eyelids. His hips rutted involuntarily as Jessie drove his digits faster, spreading them slightly. The tension built in his belly and he was voiceless.
Jessie pressed against that sweet spot and Nikolai choked on his own oxygen. He was strangled by the pleasure, some wounded sound climbing up his chest and spilling out his mouth. His cock pulsed, hips rocking as Jessie squeezed him extra firmly. Ropes of cum coated the underside of the blanket and he didn’t care if he slept in the sticky mess. Didn’t care that it felt like he couldn’t stop or that he was growing more lightheaded with every wave of pleasure crashing over him. Didn’t care for anything other than how soon he could have Jessie inside him. Like he could read minds, Jessie’s heavy tip pressed against his slick ass. Jessie used his lubed digits to guide himself in, but soon all Nikolai could feel was a warm stretch. It turned all his bones to goo. His thoughts were gone and he was floating out of his body. Nikolai existed as a floating cloud over their heads as Jessie thrust up into him. Sharp, hungry thrusts that left no room between them, it made Nik’s skin tingle. His scalp was covered in raised hair and goosebumps.
“Fuck, you feel so good Nik.” Jessie nuzzled his snout into Nikolai’s neck. The knot pressed against him, inching closer to being inside. It shouldn’t have caused flutters in his chest. They’d done this so often…and yet, there was something different now. Especially as Jessie bit down onto the meat of Nikolai’s shoulder and muffled the sound of his moan against his fur. Jessie didn’t usually get clingy during sex, like if Nikolai had even more than an inch between them that Jessie would break. One arm under his neck to hold him by the chest, the other against his stomach, there was no room. Jessie whispered in Nikolai’s ear, “I want to give you this knot for the rest of our lives.”
“Then give it to me already,” Nikolai teased breathlessly, not sure where the wobble in his throat came from.
Jessie snickered against his floppy ears, nipping and tugging at them, making Nikolai’s eyes roll back in his head. “Whatever my man wants, he gets.”
“I want a fucking pony.”
“Okay, maybe not everything.”
“Nah-nah-nah, you can’t back out. I want that knot and a fucking pony, dragon fucking damnit.” Nikolai cried from laughing so hard he didn’t even feel the knot pop into place. Then Jessie was breathing heavy in his ear, hips rutting sharp, shallow thrusts. He was so full. It made the world spin and feel perfect at the same time. Warmth bloomed in his stomach and chest, one for the wonderous stretch of a fat knot buried deep in him…the other for the sound of Jessie chuckling in his ear.
“I love you, you dickhead.”
“Mmm, but I’m your dickhead.”
Jessie sighed dreamily in his ear, nipping it once more. “Yes. You are.”
Nikolai snuggled down into their bed, despite the sticky duvet or the huge knot still buried in him. He was warm and engulfed in Jessie’s arms. It was the perfect spot to fall asleep. He disappeared from the land of the living again, but this time, when he descended into his dreams, he fell completely.
Nikolaiawoketoapair of soft lips to his sweaty forehead. He blinked groggily, peeling his crusty eyes open and realized he was baking under the intense sunlight coming through the window. Nikolai rubbed his face to crack open his facilities faster. “What time is it?”
“About 1pm,” Katarina teased. The sweet smell of her perfume and fresh laundry filled his nose as Nikolai sat up swiftly. He glanced around the bed, finding himself alone in it. The comforter had been switched out as well, but he was still naked.
“What? Why?” Nikolai grumbled as he stared up at Katarina with bleary eyes.
“Well, you know, as much as I believe time is an illusion, it does…pass,” she teased with a wink as she strutted from the side of the bed to the curtains. “Jessie wanted to make sure you got some shut eye in. We both went into the shop so I could finish up the numbers. He’s still there, but I wanted to make stuff for lunch and check in on you.”
Nikolai yawned hard, shifting through his stiff bones to sit on the edge of the bed. Fuck, I slept hard.He raked his fingers through his hair and knew first thing he needed was a shower. Then his stomach growled and he admitted food was second.But then! Then after that…we’ve got so much work to do.He wanted to be free after work for when they had to go knock down doors after Pierre.
“You know, you told me that this whole heat thing would be intense,” Katarina chuckled as she dropped down onto the bed next to him. Nikolai caught the split-second wince on her face and his lips instantly spread into a shit-eating grin. Katarina glared at him in response.
“He get you this morning?” Nikolai stretched again, cracking his back in one fluid motion.
“Bent me over the desk and everything. While, succubus magic does wonders, apparently minotaur knots are more powerful.” She shifted, glancing at him. “By the sticky cum stain on the duvet he threw in the wash this morning, I’m assuming he got you last night?”
“Welcome to breeding season, baby girl.” Nikolai wiggled his brows suggestively. Both of them snickered, the air in the room warm from the sun beating down on the townhouse. Nikolai studied Katarina from the side as she let her head hang back, eyes closed, and took a deep breath in. The words came out in a scratchy croak as he spoke, “You know, if you need to tag me in, you can.”
She snorted. “It’s not that. A girl could use a good pounding, and I’ve never been better fed, not even during mytrulywild college days.”
Katarina opened her eyes to toss him a flirty wink. Nikolai ran a hand up her back, rubbing it sweetly. She shivered in response, a heavy sigh falling out of her mouth.
“It’s my in-laws. Ex in-laws. They want to see Isabella today. They texted last night, but I haven’t responded. And I don’t want to. I’d rather take her over to the Bonesaws, where Lailee lets her help with dinner and Titan lets her sit on his shoulders while they watched television. Even when she spilled the grape juice or got popcorn crumbs in his hair, they were just so lovely to her. Those are the grandparents I want for her.Thoseare the in-laws I wished I had, because that’s who she deserves.” Katarina shook her head with defeat as she threw her arms out. “And there is a part of me that knows I can fight it. They don’t have any right to her. I can say no. But they’ll throw a fit, and there’s still a part of Isabella that still loves her father. Loves her grandparents, even though they hate the part of her that is me. And…I just…”
