me, Cardin,” he told him huskily. “My body yearns to touch yours, to feel you against me, to sink into you and drive us wild with ecstasy.” Releasing himself, Leortis closed the distance between them and once again rested his hands on Cardin’s hips, teasing his thumbs under his t-shirt. “Will you allow me to do that?”
“I-I really do that to you?” Cardin whispered, reaching toward Leortis’s dick. “But why?”
“You’re my soul mate, Cardin,” Leortis replied softly, barely able to get enough air into his lungs as he felt his mate skim his fingertips up the underside of his cock. His erection twitched, and his foreskin pulled back from his head as a bead of pre-cum oozed from him.
“Soul mate?” Cardin mumbled, his focus riveted on Leortis’s prick. “Never seen anyone uncut before.”
Growling softly, Leortis vowed, “Now you can see mine any time you want.” Unable to help himself, he added possessively, “And only mine.”
Cardin snapped his head up and peered at him. “Yes, please.” Then he lifted his arms.
Leortis moaned and swiftly pulled the t-shirt from Cardin. Rubbing his palms down his mate’s chest, he paused to rub his thumbs over and around the man’s pebbled nubs. He hummed appreciatively as he saw the way Cardin’s chest heaved with his stuttered breathing.
When Leortis lowered his hands to his hips, Cardin sucked in his belly a little. He knew the move was probably a habit to hide some of his extra weight. Meeting Cardin’s gaze, Leortis gave him a feral smile.
“You are perfect just the way you are, Cardin.” Leortis knew he was repeating himself, but he figured his mate needed to hear it.
“Not perfect,” Cardin mumbled, his cheeks flushing. “Overweight.”
“Not to me,” Leortis countered.
Using his paranormal strength, Leortis easily lifted Cardin and placed him on the bed.
Chapter Six
Cardin gasped as shock flooded him. Even considering Leo was big, broad, and obviously strong, he still would never have guessed the man could lift him, at least, not easily. Yet, he stood beside the bed without even appearing out of breath.
“Wow.”
Leo chuckled softly as he removed Cardin’s sneakers, then his socks, tossing them to the floor. “I have more surprises for you, beautiful,” he rumbled as he reached for Cardin’s fly.
Unable to help himself, Cardin again sucked in his gut. He couldn’t seem to help himself. On more than one occasion, Shawn had asked him when he was going to start using the gym equipment at the lodge.
“Relax,” Leo purred as he climbed onto the bed. “Perfect.”
To Cardin’s surprise, Leo began licking and nipping around his belly button as he unzipped his fly. An odd zinging sensation shot through his stomach, trickling to his groin. When Leo gently tugged at the thin hairs of his treasure trail, Cardin moaned softly.
“Hmm, I do like the noises you make,” Leo murmured as he skimmed his lips over Cardin’s hip, licking and nipping at the extra bit of flesh there, too. As he did that, he tugged lightly on his jeans. “Lift.”
Cardin couldn’t remember the last time someone had explored him, and it took him a few heartbeats to get his body to respond. Once he did, he realized Leo must have had ahold of his underwear, too. In seconds, he found himself as bare as Leo.
After Leo dropped the clothing over the side of the bed, he rested on his knees and stared down at him.
Suddenly feeling self-conscious, Cardin covered himself—one hand over his chest and belly while the other hid his groin.
Leo met his gaze, his eyes narrowing. “Someday, you will believe me.” Then he reached over and grabbed a bottle off the nightstand.
Cardin hadn’t even noticed it, but he realized it must be lube. Before he could ask about a condom, Leo pushed his hand away from his groin, bent over, and swallowed his dick to the root. Barking a shocked cry, Cardin bucked.
Leo moved with him, bobbing on his erection.
The exquisite heat and suction made Cardin suck in his tummy for a whole new reason. The skin of his groin and thighs goose bumped, and heat flared through him. Gripping the sheets, Cardin did his best to keep still, but he couldn’t remember the last time he’d gotten a blowjob, and he was sure it hadn’t felt as amazing as what Leo was doing with his tongue.
Somehow, Leo managed to massage every inch of his cock. He didn’t know how it was possible. His new lover teased his frenulum, swept over his crown, and rubbed along the shaft. Cardin knew
