Axar nodded."Do it."
Franklin wanted to.He'd known Axar was his for months, but Axar had only found out today."Are you sure?"
"Yes.Make me yours.I've never belonged to anyone other than Mother.I want to belong to someone other than her."
Franklin growled.It wasn't the love declaration he might have dreamed of when he'd fantasized about finding his mate, but it could come later.He'd always assumed his mate, if he ever found them, would be another shifter.A ghost-whispering psychic had never featured in his dreams.It meant things would play out a little differently than he'd imagined.
Reaching for the bedside table drawer, Franklin grabbed a bottle of lube."If you change your mind, let me know."
Axar huffed a laugh, and some of the uncertainty left Franklin.They'd be fine.They'd figure things out.
He wet his fingers and nudged Axar to sling his leg over Franklin's hip.At the first brush of his slick fingers over Axar's opening, he jumped, then pulled Franklin closer for a kiss.Franklin obliged, kissing him while slowly pushing in.Axar's fingers dug into his shoulder, and Franklin stilled."Okay?"
"Yeah.It's been...eh...a long time."
Franklin grinned."Good.You're mine, and I don't share."
Axar snorted, but the tension that had crept into him eased away."You don't?"
"Never."He nipped at Axar's lower lip before swiping his tongue over it.He steadily thrust his finger into the tight heat, his body lighting up like fireworks.It had been a long time for him too, but this was more than being horny.He had his mate right here in his arms.
It was a miracle.
A growl vibrated deep in his chest without fully manifesting in the room.He pulled Axar closer and thrust his hard cock against his.
"Oh."Axar closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against Franklin's before thrusting.It was enough for tingles to wash over Franklin, and he lined up a second finger.As he gently inserted it, Axar kept still, then he clenched around the digits, and Franklin nipped at his shoulder.He couldn't wait to be inside him.The need was clawing, demanding, but he forced himself to go slow.
He kept working his fingers while gently thrusting against him.A delicious slide, more teasing than satisfying.
Axar was panting, rocking against Franklin, only to push back on his digits the next moment.Franklin hooked his fingers in search of the right spot and grinned when Axar jerked and clung to him.
He wanted to take him from behind to be able to bite him in the right spot, but he enjoyed this too much to change position right now.
When Axar made a meowing sound and clutched at his shoulder, Franklin pushed in with a third finger.It was tight.Almost too tight, but the way Axar shuddered had him pushing all the way in.
"Oh...Big fingers."Axar scrunched his face, only to then moan and roll his hips.
Franklin kissed him, slowly and lazily, which made Axar claw at him.
"Move."
He did, by sliding his cock against Axar's.He wished he could take them both in his hand.
"Mean.So mean."Then Axar kissed him hard while thrusting against him, and Franklin huffed a laugh which soon turned into a groan as Axar worked himself on Franklin's fingers.
"Want you.Now."Axar's words brushed over Franklin's kiss-swollen lips.
"From behind."
Axar searched his eyes, then gave a small nod."Okay."
"Want to be on your side or on all fours?What's best for your injuries?"
Axar shrugged."My ribs hurt a little."
Franklin tried to think, but his brain was too hazy with lust."Turn over, back against my chest."He had no idea if it was the better option, but he reached behind him for the lube and slicked himself up.When Axar turned over and moved closer, he wrapped his arms around him, unable not to touch.
"I'll bite here."He slid his pinkie over the spot where he'd bite.
