Savage Love

by Sandrine Gasq-Dion

  “Okay, whatever you say.” Lev smiled.

  The lights hit the stage and Skylar stood with Stone and Dasan.

  “Hello gents! Get your dancing groove on because we have some Usher for you!”

  “Let’s dance.” Chaz pulled Lev up.

  “Be right back.” Lev winked at Dane.

  The music started and the lights swirled red and white around them. Chaz held Lev close to him as ‘DJ Got Us Falling in Love Again’ blared from the speaker. Ryder sang his heart out and Lev eyed Dane sitting at the table, his eyes glued to the singer.

  “Something changed,” Lev spoke in Chaz’s ear.

  “Well, Ryder was part of the big showdown. Maybe Dane got scared for his safety?”

  “Dane takes his job as guardian very seriously. He’ll never let himself get involved with someone he’s meant to protect.”

  Chaz eyed the young man sitting at the table. “His rule may break.”

  “Let’s hope!” Lev said cheerfully. “Listen to the words, babe.”

  “I never stopped being in love with you, Lev.” Chaz framed Lev’s face with his hands.

  “Thank God.”

  The crowd erupted in applause and Ryder smiled at the men in the front row. He swung the microphone in his hand and leaned over the men.

  “We have a bit of a surprise for you tonight. One of our talented Washington Huskies football players has agreed to sing for you tonight.”

  Lance tugged on Dasan’s shirt with a grin. “Get up there with me.”

  “But it’s just supposed to be you and Ryder.” Dasan lifted a brow.

  “Come on!” Lance dragged Dasan on stage.

  “Gents.” Ryder motioned to Lance and Dasan. “Get ready to ‘Wiggle’!”

  Lev laughed as the music started and Lance posed out front with Ryder. He watched Dane out of the corner of his eye and chuckled softly when Dane’s mouth dropped open. Lev had to smile; Dane should be used to the boys’ behavior by now.

  Ryder was addressing the crowd with the beginning of the song and Lance chimed in right on cue. The three of them moved across the stage in sync. Lev was startled by laughter to his side and eyed Nikolai Markov and Colin.

  “What’s so funny?” Lev asked.

  “Ham sammich?” Nikolai cracked up.

  “Do I want to know?” Lev asked.

  “Nope.” Colin shook his head.

  “I already know.” Chaz waggled his eyebrows.

  “Damn! Lance is really good!” Colin shouted over the music.

  “I wonder who he’ll end up with?” Chaz mused.

  “Never know.” Nikolai grinned. “I hope Ryder ends up with Dane.” Nikolai observed the werewolf watching Ryder closely.

  “Oh, I’m sure he will.” Lev eyed his alpha. Dane glanced over his shoulder with a scowl.

  The crowd cheered when the guys wrapped up the song. Lance took a bow with Dasan and Ryder.

  “What about Dasan?” Chaz asked. “Doesn’t he have a thing for Ruslan?”

  “Ha!” Nikolai shouted triumphantly. “Not anymore. The sneaky Russian showed his true colors. Damn, that man makes my asshole itch. And not in the good way.”

  Colin doubled over and Chaz and Lev broke out into a fit of laughter.

  “Ready to head home?” Lev bumped Chaz with his shoulder.

  “Yeah.” Chaz took Lev’s hand. “See you guys later?”

  “Yup.” Nikolai nodded.

  Lev pointed at the massive young man dressed in leather. “Be good, Nikolai.”

  Colin snorted and Lev smiled. “Later.”

  Two days later, after another grueling mission, Lev walked into the cool house and tossed his keys on the front table. Chaz happened to be working the two days Lev was gone, and today was his day off. Lev just wanted to fall into bed and hold his fiancé. There was an athletic bag on the counter along with two water bottles and Lev eyed it suspiciously.

  “Chaz?”

  “Yup.” Chaz descended the stairs.

  “What’s going on?”

  “We’re going somewhere.”

  “We are?” Lev checked his wristwatch. “But it’s almost seven.”

  “Are you tired?”

  “No, not really.”

  “Good, let’s go.”

  The drive was fairly quiet and Lev glanced over at Chaz. He seemed to be beaming; Lev took his hand.

  “What’s going on?”

  “You’ll see.”

  They pulled into the football stadium parking lot and Chaz got out of the car, and jogged around to Lev’s side. Lev got out and blinked up at the football stadium.

  “Damn, I haven’t been here in years.”

  “Come on.” Chaz took his hand while throwing the bag over his shoulder. He knocked on one of the doors and an older gentleman poked his head out. A large smile split his lips.

  “Chaz!”

  “Hey, Mick. Thanks for doing this.”

  “Not a problem. And who’s this?”

  “My fiancé, Lev Chirkoff,” Chaz announced proudly.

  “Nice to meet you, Lev.”

  “You, too.” Lev smiled, shaking Mick’s hand.

  “Go on in, she’s ready for you.” Mick stepped back, allowing Chaz and Lev through.

  Lev squinted as they stepped onto the field. Chaz stopped and opened the bag he was holding. He pulled out two jerseys and handed one to Lev.

  “Here, this is yours.”

  Lev unfolded the jersey and gasped. On the back it read ‘Lev Savage.’ He looked up at Chaz with pure adoration.

  “It’s unbelievable,” he whispered.

  “I’m not done yet.” Chaz took Lev’s hand and pulled him forward.

  The lights came on in the stadium and Lev’s mouth dropped to his knees. White roses covered everything, and a man in a robe stood on the middle of the fifty-yard line.

  Cheers went up from the stands and Lev whirled around to see his team as well as the other men and most of the Seattle Seahawks.

  “Chaz?” Lev blinked up at him.

  “We’re getting married, right now in front of everyone.” Chaz pulled out a sheet of paper. “Sign this. It’s already been signed by a judge.”

  Music drifted through the loudspeakers and Lev cocked his head with a smile as ‘Only You’ by Yazoo blasted through the stadium.

  “You always did have eclectic music tastes,” Lev laughed.

  “Remember when we watched the movie? You loved it.”

  “Yep. ‘Can’t Hardly Wait.’ I believe there was also some Barry Manilow in there,” Lev chuckled, his heart soaring.

  “Shut it, Chirkoff.” Chaz shook a finger at Lev.

  “That’s Lev Savage, thank you very much.” He signed the paper.

  “Yes. Yes it is.”

  They were married on the football field in front of all their family and friends. Chaz leaned in to kiss Lev and the stadium broke out in cheers and whistles. Chaz turned to the crowd holding Lev’s hand.

  “Party time?”

  A roar of approval met his ears and Chaz smiled. He turned to Lev, kissing him again.

  “Love you,” he whispered across Lev’s lips. “Never leave me.”

  “Never…”

  Chapter Thirteen

  They stumbled through the door at two in the morning. Chaz took his husband’s hand, leading him up the stairs. Once he closed the door, he found Lev standing in the middle of the room. Lev slowly removed his jersey, all while keeping an eye on Chaz’s movements. They came together and Lev gasped as Chaz took his mouth in a passionate kiss.

  “Tonight, I want you to take me.” Chaz growled across the hammering pulse in Lev’s neck. “I want you to bite me, Lev.”

  “Are you sure?” Lev leaned back a bit, locking eyes with his lover.

  The look was full of passion, love and excitement. Chaz nodded and Lev dropped to his knees, pulling the zipper on Chaz’s jeans as he kneaded his ass with his free hand. Fingers curled into his hair as he inhaled Chaz’s musky scent, letting it was
h over him. He licked a path around the rim of Chaz’s dick before he sucked the head in. A low groan met his ears as Lev swallowed Chaz to the root. He peeked to find Chaz looking down on him, his breathing ragged, his hands tightening in Lev’s hair.

  “Damn, Lev. So fucking good,” Chaz rasped.

  Lev slipped a finger in his mouth while licking a path up Chaz’s thickly-veined dick. He pulled away a bit, coating his finger before sucking Chaz back down and circling Chaz’s hole. A soft sigh of pleasure escaped Chaz as Lev slipped a finger in the tight confines of his body, crooking his fingers and scissoring back and forth. Chaz writhed on his fingers, bending his knees slightly to impale himself more on Lev’s digit.

  Soft moans and sighs broke the silence in the room as Lev kept a tight hold on Chaz’s dick with his mouth and pressed more fingers into his hole. Chaz’s thighs shook and Lev pulled off, moving Chaz backwards to the bed.

  He was going to make love to Chaz. The thought excited him as well as frightened him. He’d never made love to anyone.

  Chaz hit the bed and Lev crawled up his body, leaving a soft trail of kisses along the way. He slicked his dick with spit and circled Chaz’s hole. Lev rubbed his cockhead slowly over Chaz’s entrance. His fingers fumbled for the lube and he drizzled over Chaz’s hole as well as his own dick. Chaz raised his legs to his chest and held his thighs up. Lev took a deep breath and pushed in to the rim. Chaz’s eyes widened and a gasp of surprise left him. Lev took his mouth, pinching a hardened nipple between his fingers as he slowly inched inside Chaz’s body.

  “Oh fuck,” Lev hissed as Chaz’s ass clenched around him. “So tight…shit.” Never in his life had he thought it could be like this. He’d always considered himself a bottom, and although he loved the feeling of making love to Chaz, he wanted Chaz inside him.

  All. The. Damn. Time.

  Pushing in fully, Lev stopped and closed his eyes tightly, willing his orgasm away. Chaz’s fingers were grasping at his biceps, his thighs wrapped snugly around Lev’s hips.

  “You can move, Lev. I can take it,” Chaz whispered.

  And then the room went white. Lev unleashed everything and rode Chaz into the bed. The sounds of skin smacking, groans and growls filled all his senses. His balls drew taut and a howl left his lips as he came and came and came inside Chaz. A loud shout filled the room and then Chaz was coming. Ropes of ejaculate hit his chest and chin as Chaz almost screamed his way through orgasm. Lev’s canines elongated and he bent to the juncture of Chaz’s shoulder and neck.

  “I love you,” Lev whispered.

  The pain was immediate. Chaz cried out as fire consumed his body from the inside out. Lev held him close as Chaz shuddered at the power racing through his body. A tingle spread through his fingers to his spine and he bit back a cry as heat shot through his body like a furnace. Muscles rippled and stretched as Chaz writhed on the bed, Lev still holding him. A flash of red enveloped the room as he balled his fists and let out a loud, drawn-out cry.

  A gasp brought him back to the present and Chaz sat up; red swirled around the room and it seemed as if there was a cave across from them.

  “Chaz, what the hell?” Lev stood up and walked toward the cave.

  “Wait! Don’t.” Chaz rolled off the bed and peered in. He caught sight of a black cloak and then Arawn appeared at the entrance of the cave.

  “Chaz?” Arawn said in disbelief.

  “Arawn? What did I do?”

  “It appears that you opened a portal to this side”

  “Well, that’s...interesting?” Lev said, slowly.

  “Should I ask what you were doing?” Arawn tilted his head.

  “Um, no.” Chaz ran a hand through his hair. “So what? I can access the underworld?”

  “I believe so. Seems your werewolf shared his power with you. The created line within him is very powerful.”

  “I’m wondering what else you’re capable of.” Lev glanced at his husband.

  “Time will tell.” Chaz shrugged. He met eyes with his father. “I think we’ll go for now.”

  “It was very nice seeing you again my son.”

  “Thank you, for the rings,” Lev blurted.

  “My pleasure. Love one another.”

  The hole closed up, leaving the white wall behind it. Chaz slumped onto the bed with a large sigh.

  “Are you okay?” Lev sat down next to him.

  “Exhausted, but good.” Chaz smiled, caressing Lev’s cheek. “You were wonderful.”

  “I’m glad. But I have to say, I like being the bottom.”

  “Good.” Chaz rolled Lev to his back, straddling him. “I like being the top. Not that I didn’t love you making love to me — ”

  “I get it.” Lev held up a hand. “I know exactly what you mean.”

  “And that’s why we’re meant to be.”

  “Yes, it is. I have to say, I’m a little surprised you weren’t changed into a werewolf.”

  “Well, Skylar wasn’t and neither was Elijah when they were bitten.”

  “So, you think it’s a demi-god thing? That they have increased powers but don’t become shifters?”

  Chaz’s brows furrowed. “I suppose.”

  “So.” Lev eyed Chaz’s naked torso. “Round two?”

  “Oh hell yes.”

  The reservation was filled as the group came together for the pack meeting, and to celebrate the three recent marriages and the men who had finally gotten pregnant — so to speak.

  Chaz was playing football with the guys and laughing. He looked so damned happy. Lev winked as their eyes met. He then walked over to where Chance was hanging out with Loki.

  “Hey.”

  “Hey yourself.” Chance nodded. “So, guess who we saw at your wedding?” Chance motioned to Loki as he spoke.

  “Um, who?”

  “Chaz’s parents.”

  “Which ones?”

  “All of them,” Loki said quietly.

  “Does Chaz know?” Lev asked.

  “Yes.” Chance nodded. “We told him.”

  Loki looked over his shoulder. “Why does that one have to look at me like that?” He shivered. “He looks like he wants to eat me.”

  Lev looked past him and saw Zack, Cezar, Lucian and Dane all sporting the same look of boredom and standing in the exact same stance. Cezar, however, was devouring Loki with his eyes.

  Lev chuckled when Cezar scowled at him.

  “Well, they do need blood,” he shrugged.

  “Lev!” Chance admonished. “Could you please not scare Loki any more than he already is?”

  Lev chuckled. “Look at it this way, Loki. Maybe he wants to suck more than your blood.”

  “I’m not ready for any of that.” Loki shook his head, his blond curls springing back and forth.

  “He wouldn’t hurt you; Killian would kill him.” Chance tried to soothe Loki.

  “Okay, now that I’ve given Loki nightmares, I’ll just be headed in that direction.” Lev tried not to laugh as Chance glared at him. He made his way over to Dane and stood next to him, adopting his pose. “So, what’s new?”

  “Nothing,” Dane drawled. “Same thing, different day.”

  “Are you in need of excitement?” Lev elbowed him.

  “No, I think we had that when Mario and his goons infiltrated the reservation.”

  “And you were worried about Ryder.” Lev put up his hand when Dane opened his mouth to object. “Don’t even try it, Dane. I was there, I saw you.”

  “Feelings.” Lucian shook his head. “They only lead to trouble.”

  “Killian used to say that, too. But don’t let him hear you say that now.” Lev smiled at the shape shifter in the arms of Stone Marinos.

  “Feelings lead to devastation,” Dane muttered.

  “Feelings are for pussies.” Zack winked at Lev.

  “Well, call me a pussy then. Because I love Chaz. You guys are just…stupid.” Lev sighed in exasperation.

  “Oh, snappy comeback.” Dane sl
ung an arm around Lev’s shoulder.

  “Look, here comes Nikolai. Why not call him a pussy for loving Colin?” Lev egged them on.

  Zack snorted. “No thanks. I like my dick and balls where they are.”

  They all laughed and Nikolai stopped in his tracks, narrowing his eyes.

  “What?” Lev asked, innocently.

  “Come here, Cezar.” Nikolai motioned to the vampire.

  “Why?”

  “Because I want to touch your teeth and you won’t let me. Just let me do it once and I’ll leave you alone.”

  “No.” Cezar crossed his arms and fixed Nikolai Markov with a look.

  “Oh, come on!” Nikolai began walking towards them and Cezar backed out of the group.

  “I said no.” Cezar began walking.

  “I’ll keep bugging you!” Nikolai called out.

  “No means no, Nikolai,” Cezar tossed over his shoulder.

  Lev and Dane broke out in a fit of laughter.

  “Really, Nik?” Lev asked.

  “What? I think it's cool he’s a vamp. Hey, Lucian — ”

  “No.” Lucian moved backwards.

  Nikolai stood disgusted, hands on his hips as both vampires took off.

  “They are no fun.” He shook his head.

  “Uncle Nik!”

  Nikolai whirled to see Ethan and Gage running at him. He put his arms out and both boys jumped in them.

  “Will you show us how to sword fight? Huh? Will you?”

  Lev chuckled and got a look from Nik. “What?”

  “Sure I will, and Uncle Lev will help.” Nikolai grinned.

  “Wait, what?” Lev backed up. “They’re kids!”

  “Yep, and they need to learn young. Grab uncle Lev before he runs, Gage.”

  “Fine, let’s get Zack to help, too,” Lev chuckled.

  “Yeah, I don’t do kids.” Zack looked away.

  Lev snorted.

  “Oh? Well Brock is making his way over here — ”

  “Come on, kids!” Zack shouted, running.

  He chuckled as Brock came to his side.

  “Did I miss something?” he asked.

  “Nope. Just getting ready to train Ethan and Gage.”

  “Aren’t they a little young?” Brock asked.
