Chapter Six
Ace had tried. He had fucking tried to keep his needs to himself. He knew that everyone around him thought he was a hardass that didn’t care about anybody. He knew he had the social skills of a mosquito. He never pretended to be anything he wasn’t. But he knew the wolf shifter mantra about mates. You. Do. Not. Hurt. Your. Mate.
But his little vampire smelled so good and looked like a debauched angel, especially when he parted his own butt cheeks, giving Ace a look at the hole he longed to plunge into. With Devin laying on the bed, playing with his cock, which Ace knew was a deliberate tease, Ace didn’t want to control himself. If he wasn’t so fucking determined to claim the man, Devin would be over his knee, getting the spanking of his life, for what he was doing, but Ace had never wanted his claiming to be a scene. There had always been a tiny part inside of him, a part no one had ever seen, that wanted his claiming to be the start of the love act it was supposed to be.
So instead of spanking his new lover, Ace settled for taking his first kiss with the man who would be his forever. Soft with a hint of hardness, cushioned lips and a touch of fang, but it was the taste Ace was after – the unique taste of his mate. Sweet fuck. Devin was so sweet and Ace knew he would be addicted to that taste forever, after just one drop.
It wasn’t just the kiss, the way Devin’s lips opened for him so beautifully, or the way the man gave in to a full body shiver as Ace ran his tongue over Devin’s fangs that got Ace’s motor running. It was the whole package. Those gorgeous limbs, the soft pale skin covering rock hard muscles, and the way Devin seemed to sink into the mattress, pliant, surrendering himself to whatever Ace wanted from him.
Power surged through Ace’s veins as he struggled with his own control. He knew Devin would let him – would let him flip him over and plunge his cock deep inside the man’s body, and Devin would take it without a whimper of protest. But Ace wanted more. Reluctantly pulling his lips from his darling boy’s face, Ace met Devin’s violet eyes.
“This is not a scene. Not this time. This is us, together. Mate.
Amatus
. No rules. No restrictions. Just two men who will be together for a lifetime.”
Devin’s eyes flashed a brilliant red, the sight almost shocking Ace with its intensity and then it was gone just as quickly.
“I want that,” Devin said softly, as his hands came up from where they had been resting on the bed and gripped Ace’s biceps. “I want that a lot,” his voice finishing on a growl that set Ace’s wolf on edge as though not sure whether to challenge or submit. But that growl left Ace in no doubt that the man underneath him was as much a predator as he was.
Letting his own wolf come to the fore, Ace bent back down and took Devin’s lips again, but this time it was different – amazingly, wonderfully different. Devin gave as good as he got, lips teasing, tongue pushing its way alongside Ace’s so they tangled in a delicious tango. Devin’s hands weren’t idle either, mapping out the muscles on Ace’s sides and back. It crossed his mind that Devin was so much more experienced than he was, but Ace shut that thought out just as quickly as it arrived. He was well aware that his only sexual encounters in the past eight years had come from being in a scene and prior to that it was rough fucks or blow jobs in a dark alley.
But this. This was…Ace’s mind couldn’t come up with the right words, he just knew he’d never felt anything like it before. Alive, full of so much energy he thought he would burst, and his passion meter was off the charts. Had he ever been so aroused, so full of lust and a need to claim that he could barely contain himself? Never, but then who cared. He was definitely feeling like that now and it was glorious.
Moving down Devin’s body, Ace sucked and bit, determined to leave his little vampire with as many marks on him as possible. Yes, he knew they would heal really quickly, but then, fuck it all, he would just do it all over again. All he knew was that now he had made the decision to make Devin his, he wanted it known to any fucker who dared look at his mate again.
Leaving a chest littered with hickeys, Ace’s nose went lower until it bumped against Devin’s cock – hard, leaking and just perfect. Without pausing for breath, Ace pulled that meat into his mouth, sucking firmly.
“Oh my fucking God,” Devin yelled, his hips thrusting upwards in an attempt to dive deeper. “Please, please, please,” he babbled and Ace chanced a look upwards to see Devin’s head thrown back on the pillows, his face scrunched up fighting his impending orgasm. Ace didn’t think he had ever seen anything so beautiful.
“You need to come, little fang? Can you keep it hard if I let you come now?”
Devin struggled for a minute to raise his head and Ace watched as the man’s eyes took on a feral quality. “I’m a vampire. I can come, and keep coming all fucking night if the incentive’s there.”
Ace smirked. “Or if I let you,” he added before bending back to his task. If anything, his words seemed to have made Devin’s cock harder, and before Ace had a chance to think, warm, creamy come coated the back of his throat. Swallowing it down, not wanting to miss a drop, Ace kept sucking well after Devin had come, determined to keep his mate hard and wanting. It seemed Devin was well on board with that plan given how much he was sinuously writhing and moaning under Ace’s touch.
Once he was satisfied that Devin’s erection was stable again, Ace let his mouth move lower, lathing over hard balls encased in its soft wrinkly, hair free sac. Popping first one and then the other in his mouth, Ace rolled the tantalizing treats slathering them with his spit, before moving lower still, running the flat of his tongue firmly over that exquisite patch of smooth skin between balls and the destination hole he was aiming for.
Devin shifted his legs, planting his feel firmly on the mattress and straining his thighs as far apart as he could get to give Ace more access. Growling his approval, Ace cupped Devin’s butt cheeks in his hands, bringing Devin’s bottom half up off the bed. Perfect.
Ace loved rimming, giving and receiving, but he so rarely got the chance to do it with a willing participant. At the Bound and Bonded club he was picked up because of his ability to deliver pain – giving pleasure was for the beautiful men in the club. He could order it, as part of a scene, but that wasn’t something he was comfortable doing very often. Devin seemed to love it, if the pleas and curses, for “more”, “harder”, and the occasional “oh my God,” were positives. And Ace seemed to think that they were.
“Ace,
amatus
, please, for the love of God, please,” Devin begged and as Ace peered over Devin’s balls and what looked like an achingly hard cock, he saw Devin’s eyes were red again. Reminding himself that he had to ask what that meant exactly, Ace sucked two fingers into his mouth, and then shoved them roughly into Devin’s asshole that was soft and loose thanks to his efforts.
“Is this what you want little fang?” Ace growled, as he tilted his fingers, searching for that pleasure spot.
“Fuck, yes. Oh my God
more
.”
Ace quickly added another finger, jumping slightly when a tube of lube fell down on the bed beside him. Snatching it up, Ace lubed up his fingers and then thrust them back in. Devin had grabbed his knees with his hands, and pulled his legs up to his chest and Ace didn’t bother to curb his urge. Slicking up his cock, he back on his heels, slipping his hands under Devin’s back to pull him upright.
Devin looked stunned at the move, but quickly caught on. Slotting his legs on either side of Ace’s hips, Devin maneuvered himself until Ace’s cock was right at his hole. As he went to plunge himself down onto it, Ace stopped him, his hands firm around Devin’s hips.
“Slowly boy,” he warned. Ace didn’t want his mate feeling any pain in what they were about to do and he knew his cock was wider than most.
Nodding to show he understood, Devin carefully eased himself down, Ace keeping a firm hand on him to ensure he didn’t go too fast. Devin’s hands were resting lightly on Ace’s shoulder and Ace loved the cool contrast of those hands against his hot skin. While Devin’s hands were cool, his insides were hot, gripping Ace with just the perfect amount of tension that had Ace ready to blow before Devin had got himself seated.
Gritting his teeth and thinking decidedly unsanitary thoughts, Ace managed to get through it, but when he finally felt his balls hit the bottom of Devin’s butt he tightened his grip on Devin’s hips, stopping his boy from moving.
“Ace,” Devin growled at him, trying to move his hips and get some friction.
“Wait,” Ace growled back, happy to see Devin back down from the wolf in his eyes. Taking a few deep breaths to make sure he absolutely would not embarrass himself by coming too soon, Ace lightened the pressure in his hands, allowing Devin to move, which the man did with fluid grace.
But oh, fuck. Just one rise and fall of Devin’s hips and Ace knew he wouldn’t last long no matter what was running through his head. Of course the only thing that was running through his head now was the perfection of the moment. The scent of his mate, the feel of Devin’s body against his, the heat encasing his cock and his overwhelming need to climax while biting deep into that inviting neck that was just inches away from his mouth.
Devin seemed to have the same idea. His eyes were fixated on Ace’s neck, and Ace felt a tingle in his balls as his arousal quickly reached the point of no return. Tightening his grip Ace increased Devin’s pace, pulling Devin closer to him, allowing his cock to go deeper still, and for Devin to find the friction he needed for his own dick.
Feeling his gums start to tingle, along with the same sensation in his balls, Ace forced himself to ask, “Do you want to be mine? I need you to say the words,” he added when Devin looked at him as though stunned.
“I am yours,” Devin said simply, and that was all Ace needed. Pushing himself deeper into his mate a couple more times, Ace let out a roar as his climax hit him, before he buried his teeth into Devin’s neck. As Devin’s sweet tasting blood hit his tongue, he felt two small pricks in the side of his neck and Devin’s spunk coat his stomach. Those gentle pulls on his vein lit a fuse inside of Ace and he felt his climax go on for what seemed like forever, Devin’s body hard against his the whole time.
When his balls felt completely drained Ace raised his head, gently lapping Devin’s neck clean and carefully cupping Devin’s head as his little vampire took what he needed. The satisfaction both man and wolf took from supplying Devin’s basic needs surpassed anything Ace had ever gotten from a scene. Surprisingly Ace felt his cock, that was still buried deep inside of Devin’s ass, started to harden again, and he groaned as he felt himself hit with an uncontrollable urge to thrust. Again.
Devin lifted his head, carefully running his tongue over his fangs, before licking over the little puncture marks in Ace’s neck. “Feeling good, baby?” he said with a small smile, as he wiggled his butt causing all sorts of wicked sensations to flow around Ace’s cock.
“Good enough to go again,” Ace said with a grin, leaning forward so that Devin’s back was now firmly on the mattress. Ace moaned as the change in position caused an echoing tingle in his balls, and as he started to thrust he wondered if they genuinely could go all night. Determined to give it a try, Ace leaned over Devin and took his lips again, his hips setting up a steady rhythm. This time he wanted to take his time and learn what made his vampire gasp.
Chapter Seven
Waking up with a slightly softened but still large cock lodged in his ass was unusual enough for Devin to tense up as he slowly came out of sleep. Like most vampires, Devin didn’t need to sleep very often, but when he did, he slept like the dead and it took a bit for him to wake up. The smell of spunk saturated sheets hit his nostrils at the same time the soothing scent of his
amatus
.
In a rush the memories of the night before came flooding back. He quickly discounted the episode at the club. That was nothing. But back at his apartment, the thrill of his
amatus
caring for him, claiming him, repeatedly, and oh the delicious taste of his mate’s blood. Just thinking about it was enough to make Devin’s fangs drop and he carefully wriggled his ass, which was being firmly gripped by two strong hands, against the man behind him.
“You’re finally awake, little mate.” The grumbling voice behind him alerted Devin to the fact that Ace was awake, and had apparently been for some time. Wriggling his bum again, Devin moaned quietly as the shaft still wedged in his ass started to fill. Yep, he could go again and it seemed that Ace was of the same opinion.
“Pushy bottom,” Ace grunted as the hands on Devin’s hips tightened, and Ace began to rock back and forth, his cock sliding in and out with ease. Devin wasn’t surprised. His ass had been used so much since Ace had taken him from the club, he would be lucky if it ever tightened again.
“Just fuck me big guy,” he said. “You can spank me after.”
Growling his approval, Ace flipped Devin over onto his stomach, raising his ass in the air, so he could get better leverage. As Ace pounded into him with increasing speed, Devin dropped his head onto the mattress. His own cock was hard and leaking, and Devin didn’t think Ace would leave him hanging. But then Ace was a Dom, and it was highly possible that edge play or orgasm denial was one of his kinks. Just the thought of it had Devin’s cock harden even more, and he forced down the urge to climax, as Ace took his pleasure.
Leaning over him, Ace grabbed hold of his cock, his hip rhythm never faltering for a second. “Want to come, boy?”
Boy.
Yes, Ace was in his Dom space. “Please, Sir,” he said quickly, his climax so close, now he knew that he was going to be allowed to come.
“Not until I tell you,” Ace warned, and the hand on Devin’s cock sped up along with Ace’s pounding in his ass. Damn that man must have a GPS fix on his prostate because he was hitting it with unerring accuracy. Prostate stimulation was making it virtually impossible for Devin not to come and Devin struggled to keep control. But one sharp pinch on the head of his cock and Devin’s restraint shattered. Before he could stop it, his orgasm surged through him in response to the delicious bite of pain. Clamping his ass muscles around Ace’s cock, Devin pulled Ace into his own release, the big body shuddering behind him as Ace’s balls spewed their filling deep inside of Devin’s body, his roar bellowing around the room.
When Ace rolled off of him and pulled Devin close, pushing his face into Ace’s neck, Devin shook his head. “I’m fine lover,” Devin said, answering Ace’s scowl. “Honestly, I fed so much last night and your blood…” Devin trailed off, not sure what to say. It was true. Ace’s blood filled him with an energy he’d never experienced before. Despite a good ten hours of sexual acrobatics, and a long sleep, Devin felt refreshed, and ready to do it all again. He didn’t know if it was because Ace was his Fated One, or if it was because he was a wolf shifter, but the strength flowing through Devin’s veins was addictive and very satisfying.
“I don’t want you to go without,” Ace rumbled, his deep voice sending vibrations through Devin’s body. Remembering that it was a wolf thing, to provide for his mate, Devin resisted the urge to snap that he was more than capable of working out how much sustenance he needed, and simply said, “thank you, my
amatus
. But your needs must be taken care off too,” He added as he heard Ace’s stomach make growling noises of its own.
Ace stretched out his arms and legs, making a satisfied grumbling noise in his throat. “I could definitely eat,” he said and Devin felt slightly embarrassed he had no food in the house. It wasn’t as though he ate very much in the way of ordinary food, and if he did feel hungry, he went out to eat, or ate at the club.
“I don’t have any food here,” Devin said, deciding to be honest and upfront with his mate. “I was never expecting you to claim me, or I would have got in provisions.”
“But you said you ate food too?”
Devin shrugged as he moved his way to the edge of the bed. He desperately needed a shower again. “I do, but I hate cooking. I eat out if I want human food.”
“I’m a bit like that too,” Ace said. “I can cook a bit, but I used to feed at the club most days.” Ace broke off and looked down at his hands, and Devin didn’t need their mind link to know that his mate was troubled by what had happened with his old pack.
“How about,” he said cheerfully, “We have another shower, and then I will take you out to breakfast. I know this great place close to here that serves a mean steak omelet.” Devin was pleased when a smile graced Ace’s strong face, and the man stood up, his delicious body on full display.
The man needs to eat,
Devin reminded himself as he followed a tight ass into the bathroom.
/~/~/~/~/
Quite a bit of time later, because warm water, soft soap, and hands sliding over silken flesh led to other things, the two men were seated in a little café that Devin used to visit quite often on his days off. The food was hot, tasty and plentiful, and Devin was sure that Ace would be happy with what they had to offer.
For a while, after the food arrived, both men seemed content to eat. Devin didn’t eat a lot of food, but what food he had, he liked to enjoy and he was pleased to see that Ace seemed to be the same way. Now that Devin had bitten Ace, and been claimed, his mind link with his new mate was in place. It was something that would get stronger over time. Currently he was getting feelings of contentment and hunger from Ace, so he figured all was well.
It wasn’t until they had finished eating that Devin felt a fissure of uneasiness creep into Ace’s mind. Immediately he put his hand over Ace’s huge paw, asking quietly, “What is it,
amatus
, is something wrong?”
Ace tilted his head quizzically for a moment, and then shook his head.
“To be honest, my mate,” he said softly, “I am not sure what I am going to do now. I have made such a mess of things with my pack, because of the beliefs I held, that I now know are wrong, and I…fuck, you would have loved the Bound and Bonded club precious.”
“Tell me about it,” Devin said just as quietly and then he listened as Ace talked about the wonders of his past pack, the club, the belief systems of his Alpha Pearson, and then what Ace had done to make it all fall to pieces.
“I can’t go back and it’s all my fault,” Ace said, and Devin hated the break he heard in his strong mate’s voice.
Thinking quickly, he said, “There are other packs like that – San Antonio has one, so does Tulsa. I am sure there are others.”
“But I’m rogue. I escaped custody. I didn’t respect the wishes of my Alpha and I threatened to kill a pack member. No other pack will have me.”
“Surely if you…” Whatever else Devin wanted to say was cut off as a large shadow loomed by their table. Devin saw Ace’s face go deadly pale and he looked up to see two of the men that he had noticed when he had been tracking his mate. Ace had been tracking them. Now it seemed the tables had turned.
Both men were wolf shifters – that was evident from their scent. One had a hard look about him, and a scar across his face. The other one was gorgeous looking with long dark hair, and a killer body. Neither man looked friendly, especially when they were looking at Ace.
“Are you going to come quietly?” The hard looking one said in a low deep voice. “We don’t want to cause a scene among the humans, but we will if we have to.”
Devin could feel the panic rising up inside of him and he struggled to keep it from his face. It got worse as he saw Ace get slowly to his feet, looking down at Devin as if he was the most beautiful being on earth.
“Stay safe, precious,” Ace whispered.
“
Amatus
, you can’t, I can’t, don’t go.” Devin knew he wasn’t making sense, but he had to either stop Ace from leaving with the shifters, or get Ace to realize that Devin had to go too. Devin would literally starve to death without his mate and that was without the aching despair he would feel without the man close by.
“This was my doing, and you have to let me try and fix it,” Ace said, his voice low but firm. “That’s an order.”
Scanning their mating link, Devin could tell that Ace was in full protection mode. Whatever it was that his
amatus
was facing, Ace was determined to do it alone and Devin didn’t have it in him to argue with his mate, his Dom, in front of shifters he didn’t know. He would never disrespect Ace like that. Holding back his tears, Devin nodded, even as he remembered that Ace preferred words. It was strange how the little things seemed so important in a moment of crisis. But Ace seemed to understand because he ran his big hand once over Devin’s head in a gentle caress before turning to go.
Devin sat, frozen in silence as the two men, who didn’t even bother to give him a second glance, strode out behind Ace, clearly ready to grab him and drag him away if they had to. He sat, holding onto the pain in his heart, long into the afternoon, barely acknowledging the waitress who kept his coffee cup filled. Only when he noticed that there was cleaning up going on around him and the place was closing up, did he find the energy to get up, pay his bill, and walk out of the door.
He honestly didn’t know what the fuck he was going to do until Ace got back. If the man ever came back.
