“Sorry! God, I… I’ll just…” Cody tried to get out of the bed, obviously mortified, but he was tangled in the sheet.
He tumbled right out of the bed and the sheet pulled me down on top of him. We landed on the floor in a heap and I tried to push myself up, but only succeeded in getting caught in the blanket, with my nose an inch from his.
My breath caught as we looked at each other. For a moment, we froze and held perfectly still. Suddenly I was overwhelmed by the urge to kiss the human sprawled beneath me. I leaned forward hesitantly, barely having to lean at all, his lips met mine and pressed curiously against them in a light kiss. We broke apart, eyes wide, and stared at each other for a beat, then we crashed back together.
Cody threw his arms around me, dragging me to the ground. I let myself collapse on top of him as we began to kiss almost desperately, as if any moment we'd come to our senses and realize what we were doing. The sheets that had tangled us together seemed to loosen, giving me the chance to easily straddle him. His dick had come free from my borrowed boxers and brushed against my thigh, hot and firm. I gasped and arched up at the contact. I didn't stop to think, I just reached down and wrapped my hand around it, giving him several quick tugs.
“God!” Cody gasped, bucking up against me.
An apology was on the tip of my tongue, but before I could tell him I honestly hadn't intended for this to happen when I invite him and ask if he was all right doing this, he reached up and grasped my cock in a firm grip and began to stroke.
The one arm I was using to hold me up almost gave out as he touched me. How long had it even been now since I was with someone? I could remember it being this amazing. We were barely even starting!
I groaned and bowed my head, trying to find a balance between smooshing him and supporting myself. He put a hand on the back of my neck and pulled me down for another kiss and I melted against him in response. I rolled onto my side and our legs entwined as we jerked each other off, matching our pace with our hands.
As our tongues dueled and our free hand explored every inch of skin and hair that it could find, his nails raked down my back and I tangled his hair in one fist. Cody moaned into my mouth and his hips jerked. I broke the kiss and sniffed my way down his neck, inhaling his incredible earthy, slightly spicy scent. I pressed my nose against his collarbone, took a deep breath, and shuddered. He arched against me with a cry and it was enough to send me over the edge.
I gasped as pleasure washed over me and the two of us flopped all the way down onto the pile of sheets on the floor of my room, breathless and trembling.
“I'm sorry,” Cody said with a weak chuckle after a few minutes. “I don't normally do that with complete strangers.”
“Believe me,” I said, still feeling slightly breathless. “I did not have that in mind when I offered to share a bed with you. It just sort of… happened.”
“I'll say,” he laughed. He sat up and began to roll his left shoulder as if it was uncomfortable.
I propped myself up on one elbow and felt a discomfort in my own shoulder. I sat all the way up, rubbing at it, trying to relieve it and then froze. An uncharacteristic gesture to a human, such as inviting a complete stranger to my home and sharing a bed with him?
Check.
An unexpected burst of passion?
Check.
Pain in both of our shoulders, right in the spot where true mates would bite when they claimed each other?
Check…
Holy shit.
“Oh my gods,” I said, staring at him, eyes wide.
Cody furrowed his brow at me. I thought the human was cute the first time I saw him, but looking at him now I could see he was everything I had never known I wanted.
“What?” he finally asked, staring at me.
“Cody…” His name felt so right on my tongue. “You're my true mate.” The words sounded strange and ridiculous out loud, but as I spoke them I knew it was true.
