"You want to touch me?"The surprised tone had Franklin rolling his eyes.
"Yes, darling.I want to touch you.All the time.Pretty obvious, isn't it?"
Axar didn't speak for a long time, then he pursed his lips and shrugged."I don't mind you touching me."
Franklin dropped the towel and pulled him into his arms."I want to touch you all over."
Axar swallowed audibly but nodded.

Franklin gently guided Axar out of the bathroom and into his bed.He'd put butterfly bandages on the deepest cuts, which hopefully would prevent them from breaking open again.
He wanted to jump Axar's bones right away, bury his cock and fangs in him and solidify the mating, but he forced himself to stretch out next to him on the mattress.
Axar turned to his side, facing Franklin."What if they come while we sleep?"
It was not what Franklin wanted to be thinking about right now.He slid a hand over Axar's hip and tried to remember the locations of his injuries--bruises on the hip, but no cuts.He had to be careful not to grab him.
"Then you cover your ears, and I'll deal with them."
"What if Mother tells you to do something?"
Franklin leaned forward and kissed him."She tried, back in the bar.Didn't work."
Axar pulled back a fraction and stared at him."It didn't work?"
"No, I sensed the command and shook it off."
His mouth dropped open, and Franklin took advantage of it and kissed him again.
A small moan left Axar, and he slid a hand over Franklin's upper arm and up to his neck.
"Are you tired?"Franklin's whisper brushed his lips.
"Yes and no.Exhausted but too wired to be able to relax."
Franklin kissed him again."Maybe I can do something to help you relax."
Axar snorted."I'm sure you can."
"And you'd let me?"
Axar looked into his eyes."What do you want to do?"
Talk things through beforehand?It wasn't normally how Franklin did things.He found someone he wanted and tumbled into bed with them, then what happened happened."Most of all, I want to fuck you and bite your neck."He caressed the spot where he'd pierce the skin with his fangs."But we can save that for another day.A handjob?Or I could suck you off."He kissed him again."I want to taste you."He moved his mouth down his throat to his collarbone, then placed light kisses over his chest, mindful of where it might hurt.
"You can."
"Taste you?"He licked at a spot where there were no cuts or bruises.
"Fuck me, and...eh...Why do you want to bite me?"
Franklin pushed up on his hands and hovered over Axar, searching his face for any hesitation."If I bite you while inside you, we'll be mated for real."
Axar's eyes narrowed."This isn't real?"
Franklin dropped a kiss on his lips."It's real, but as it is now, you're free to go.If we mate, there will be a bond.We'll be forever linked."
