suitable size in some of the more upmarket areas of the sprawling continent.

Yes, Zeus had peeked at the home where Paulie was born and had been quietly shocked at the squalor his sweet mate had been raised in. He understood how the years his mate had spent on the streets had formed Paulie’s practical opinions. But Paulie was a demigod, and more importantly he was the mate of one of the most powerful gods in the cosmos, and Zeus needed Paulie to understand that; to understand that anything in the world he ever wanted was now his for the asking with just a click of Zeus’s fingers.

And now Zeus just had to get his adorable mate in the right frame of mind to view their new home. Because the only reason they were meeting the agent was to pick up the keys and the papers. The deal was done, with everything put into Paulie’s name – the house, the land, and the four cars Zeus had bought so far.

That might not be an easy sell, Zeus warned himself as he took the chance to savor Paulie’s full lips. Loving on his mate was never a hardship – since he’d committed himself to their relationship, Zeus spent most of his waking hours with a hard on and the urge to keep his mate close. Paulie’s low moan inflamed his senses and although Paulie was on his lap, he wasn’t close enough.

Using his powers, Zeus zapped them to their bedroom, making sure clothes were lost along the way. He loved the softness of Paulie’s skin, covering slender muscles and lean legs. He had to stop and drop kisses over his mate’s stomach which was just starting to swell. The softness was addictive and yet Zeus, being who he was, could feel the energy of the life beneath, filling him with a sense of possessiveness and protectiveness all over again.

Paulie’s nipples weren’t overly sensitive but they deserved some loving too, however Zeus’s hands were already moving lower, caressing his mate’s hips and thighs. It didn’t matter how often he stroked the same limbs, hearing Paulie’s moans, or harsh breaths – it always felt new. As though Zeus had been given the biggest gift in the universe. Sensing the coiled strength of his mate’s tiger, obvious in every flex or arch of Paulie’s body, added to his buzz.

Nuzzling his nose in the indent of Paulie’s hip, Zeus breathed in deep. He wasn’t a shifter, he didn’t have an overly sensitive sense of smell, but there was something about that spot that called to every carnal cell in his body. Paulie’s cock was already leaking, his slender shaft straining as it sought some kind of friction. Usually, at this point, Zeus would be pushing up his mate’s legs and delving his fingers into a magically prepared hole, but maybe it’s time to change things up a bit. He’s not as well-endowed as me...

Some of the stories about Zeus’s past sexual adventures were true, but giving up his ass, regardless of whether he was on two legs or four, was never an option. But Zeus was primed by his need to do something new for his previously virginal mate… and he really wanted that house.

Blowing out softly over Paulie’s heated skin, Zeus wrapped his fingers around his mate’s cock, moving his head so he could suckle gently on the head of it, lapping up Paulie’s juices. The trick, at least in Zeus’s mind, was to have his mate on the edge of blowing, just before he sat on him. Unfortunately, the second Zeus got a taste of his mate, he doubled down on the sucking action, wanting more. Paulie’s moans and helpless thrusts stoked the savage part of Zeus’s soul and before he knew what had happened, he was swallowing his mate’s release.

Thank the Fates for shifter stamina. Zeus didn’t let up on his efforts, even as Paulie squirmed, his sweet cock sensitive to the touch of Zeus’s tongue. The young tiger’s dick stayed hard, as Zeus had hoped, Paulie’s moans deepening as his need flared back to life. Paulie’s legs trembled and Zeus knew he wanted to pull them up to his chest, but Zeus’s hands on his thighs stopped that from happening.

A simple thought, and Zeus was ready, rearing up, his cock in hand, swinging his leg over Paulie’s slender hips. One hand on his cock, one hand reaching behind and holding Paulie’s up from his belly. “Ready for this?” Zeus winked at his
