hair tickle when it rubbed your nipples?" I kept my voice low, loving the way he shivered with every suggestive thing I said. Pulling his head down, I kissed him thoroughly before rubbing my lips along his jaw and whispering in his ear. "I can rub my lips all over your body. You know what else I can rub you with? Let me show you."
I could already smell the slick forming, so it was no surprise when I slid my free hand down his crack to tease his hole. Charlie went stiff and grunted as he shot a load over my fingers. He tried to bury his face in my shoulder, his heated cheek pressed against my neck. But I wasn't having it.
"Don't be embarrassed. That was just the first one. Honestly, I'm impressed you lasted so long. You're young, and this is new to you. But guess what? Being young also means a fast recovery time. You'll be hard again in a few seconds, if you even get completely soft."
His voice was muffled against my neck. "You mean it? You're not being nice, are you?"
"If I were lying, you would feel it through our bond, even though it's incomplete and new. Also, think about it. You're a shifter—you would smell a lie. And if you don't know how to detect one by scent, I'll be happy to teach you. But no, I'm not lying. Honestly? It makes me happy to know I gave you pleasure."
The wave of emotion flooding over me would've brought me to my knees if I'd been standing. I wasn’t sure if Charlie knew he was throwing it off, but it left me with zero doubts of his affection. It might not have been love yet, but it was the start. And for the first time in my life, I knew what it was like not only to feel tender warmth for another person, but to have it returned. Even though I knew I should expect it from my true mate, it was mind-blowing. With all the feelings rushing through me, I forgot about being playful and guided him back for another kiss.
As I poured every ounce of my passion into our connection, I slipped a finger inside him, preparing his body to take me. Charlie, as I'd promised, was completely hard before I worked my second finger in. Thanks to his slick, his slippery hole was easy for my fingers to tease. My initial plan had been for him to ride me, but now I wanted something more personal.
Rolling us over, I guided his long legs up to his chest and pressed my cock into position. I broke our kiss, then pecked his lips a few times before bracing myself on my forearms with his legs slung over them. Biting my lip, I gazed into his beautiful eyes while I slowly pushed into his body. Working my hips back and forth, I pushed in a little, then pulled back. Pushed in deeper, then pulled back. Charlie was already coming unraveled and digging his fingers into my shoulders and grabbing at my hair by the time I pushed in completely.
I wasn't in a hurry, so I kept it nice and slow, letting my hips make the promises I wanted to scream from a mountaintop. I will love you forever. You are mine, and I am yours. Nobody will ever hurt you again. You are the tastiest morsel, and nobody else will ever hold a place in my heart. Only you, mate, only you.
Through it all, my mate made the best sounds. Charlie's soft moans, gentle yet possessive growls, and startled gasps of pleasure were quickly becoming my favorite noises. Each one challenged me to bring him more pleasure, if simply to see what sound I would get next. By the time I was getting close, Charlie had already come a second time, and a third was on the horizon. When the base of my cock started tingling and expanding as my knot bulged and my laniary teeth dropped into place, I knew it was time to claim my mate.
My entire body was drenched in sweat, and I was on fire. My balls felt so tight I knew I couldn't last much longer. "Turn your head, beauty. I need to get close to the back of your neck with my bite."
"Do it, alpha." Voice strained with desire, he turned his head as far as he could, begging me to make him mine. My knot completely formed, locking
