His Forgotten Mate

by Giovanna Reaves

  Reaching down to his waist, Maverick pulled him onto his lap. He trailed the tip of his nose down Alexis's neck, then grazed his teeth over his mating mark.

  "Shit," Alexis moaned long and hard. His hips jerked forward while his fingers were running through Maverick hair, stopping at the base of his neck.

  Maverick was so turned on—he needed to be inside of his mate and claim him once more.

  "Tell me to stop," he whispered against Alexis's neck.

  Alexis grabbed a handful of his hair, pulling his head back. "You stop, and I'll kick your ass." He growled at Maverick, and he found it adorable instead of intimidating.

  Maverick smiled before taking his lips once more. Grasping the sides of Alexis’s shirt, Maverick tore it open and ignored the sounds of buttons flying everywhere. Trailing his lips down the beautiful body in front of him, he latched on to one of Alexis’s nipples, grazing his teeth against the pebbled nub.

  "Mav…fuck…Mav…I want you inside of me."

  Maverick's cock jerked at hearing what his mate wanted. He hadn't planned on sleeping with the man that night, but he wasn't going to be a fool and pass up the opportunity. Not when he wanted to fuck Alexis just as bad. Shouldn’t they be taking things slow?

  Maybe.

  But why should they when Maverick was dying to be inside the man. Maverick reached between them and palmed Alexis’s erection. He couldn't wait to wrap his mouth around it, feel its weight and having his mate cumming down his throat.

  Alexis pulled back from their kiss and straddled his lap. He ground his ass on Maverick’s hard cock. "Fuck, you feel as good as I remembered."

  "I'll give you a better memory if you get naked."

  "You're right." Alexis smiled. "How about we do this in a more comfortable place?"

  "What? Love by the fire not romantic enough for you?" Maverick leaned up and kissed the side of his neck and then behind his ear before nibbling on his earlobe.

  "I don't want to get burned," Alexis whispered.

  "Too late for that, baby."

  He took Alexis’s lips once more, pulling him back down with him. Their dicks ground against each other. His fingers tangled in the man's silky black hair, his body hot from their sweet, slow kiss. His mind and body were being taken away to a place of pleasure and lust, which was why he tried to ignore the ringing of his cellphone. He didn't want to stop what was happening between them.

  "Ignore it," he whispered against Alexis's lips when he tried to pull away.

  "It might be important." Alexis went to move but stopped because of the strong but gentle hold on him.

  "What's more important than what we're doing now?"

  "You’re a pack Alpha—one of your members might need you."

  "Fuck," he growled.

  Alexis giggled. "Answer it and see what they want. I'm not going anywhere."

  "I'm going to hold you to that."

  He kissed him once more before they both got off the floor. Alexis started picking up the empty cartons while he went to get his phone from his coat pocket. Maverick rolled his eyes when he saw his mother was the one calling.

  "Mama, is everything all right?"

  "Yes, mein shon," Viktoria answered. "I'm simply checking up on you. I haven't heard from you all day, and I wanted to see how you're doing."

  "Oh," was all Maverick said, but he knew that tone.

  Viktoria suspected something, but he wasn't going to feed into it. He was sure Misha had already informed her of what was going on. She was waiting for Maverick to tell her.

  That kid never could keep a secret.

  "I'm fine, Mama. Nothing to worry about."

  "Will you be dropping by tomorrow?"

  Maverick rolled his eyes as he turned and bit on his bottom lip to stop himself from cursing when he saw a shirtless Alexis standing in front of him.

  Sexy, was the only word that came to Maverick’s mind. Especially with the slight baby bump showing.

  Alexis had his eyes trained on him as he unbuckled his belt and slowly dragged it from the loops of his pants, dropping it to the floor. Maverick knew Viktoria was speaking, but he had no idea what the hell his mother was talking about.

  He felt his cock pulsate in his pants when the warlock pushed his pants down, letting them fall to the ground to pool at his ankles. Alexis palmed his erection as he walked over to Maverick and started unbuttoning his shirt, kissing on his neck and chest.

  Going down to his knees, he licked Maverick’s abs stopping at his belly button then down to his cock—pressing his lips against it before sucking on the head.

  Maverick grabbed the base of his neck pushing his hips forward rubbing along his mouth. "Fuck, this is not a good time," he said, not sure if he was talking to his mother or Alexis. He really didn’t care he was feeling good.

  "That's what your father said, but I think it's the perfect moment. Don't you think?"

  "Mama, look you caught me in the middle of something. I'll talk to you tomorrow." He hung up and threw his phone somewhere, not caring where it landed. Pulling Alexis to his feet, he wrapped his arms around Alexis's waist. "You know that was my mother."

  "I have perfect hearing, Maverick. So yes. And by the sound of it, she wanted to talk."

  "You're a very naughty boy."

  "I'm far from being a boy, Maverick."

  "That is true."

  "So, do you want to keep talking about unimportant things? Or are you going to fuck me tonight?"

  "Lead the way."

  * * *

  Maverick started undressing as they made their way to his bedroom.

  Alexis took off his underwear and crawled onto the bed. Maverick stopped him before he could reach the center of the bed, pressing his cock in between his butt cheeks and gliding it up and down the crack of his ass with Alexis’s omega slick easing the way.

  “Maverick, don’t tease me,” Alexis panted breathlessly.

  “Why do you think I’m teasing you?” He leaned down and trailed kisses from Alexis’s neck down to the center of his back. “Right now, I’m holding myself back from not attacking you. I want to take this slow so I can remember every single thing I do with you.”

  “I don’t want slow,” Alexis whispered. His butt cheeks clamped onto Maverick’s cock, stopping his movements.

  “Fuck,” he cursed. “You’re making this hard on me.”

  “I’ll do anything to make you fuck me right now.”

  “You’re not into taking things slow, are you?”

  Alexis moved to the center of the bed, laying on his back. He opened his legs and started jerking his cock.

  “Why do you want to take your time, when you can have all of this right now.”

  Maverick watched as Alexis moved his other hand up and tweaked his nipples. Leaning down, he trailed his tongue from Alexis’s belly button up to his lips—claiming them once again. Before their kiss got deeper, Maverick licked his way back down to his belly button and then to the head of his cock, swirling his tongue around the mushroom head. Alexis gasped and pushed his cock up into Maverick’s mouth.

  “Oh gods. More,” Alexis begged.

  Alexis’s slender fingers were still wrapped around his cock. He pumped his shaft in and out of Maverick’s mouth. Maverick’s eagerly took his mates cock, aiding Alexis in his jerk off session. A hand cupped the back of his head, guiding his movements.

  “Oh yes,” Alexis hissed. “I’m going to cu—”

  Maverick pulled off his mate’s cock, stopping everything.

  “Why?” Alexis whined.

  Maverick moved up Alexis’s body taking his lips again. “I don’t want you to cum until I’m inside of you.”

  “Then hurry up and fuck me.”

  “I told you, mean schatz. I don’t want to rush things.”

  Alexis pulled his head down and claimed his lips. Maverick couldn’t say why he was taking things slow. Maybe he didn’t want something to happen again. He didn’t want to wake up and forget everything. Maverick ground
his cock against Alexis’s erection. He groaned just as Alexis gasped when the heads of their cocks rubbed against each other.

  “Oh shit.” Maverick’s voice sounded drunk with need.

  He leaned back down and took Alexis's mouth, moving his hand down and grabbing his hips as they ground against each other. Alexis wrapped his legs around Maverick's waist. He moved his hands down to cup his mate’s ass then slipped a finger between his butt cheeks, rubbing against his moist hole.

  "Mav..." he said against Maverick's lips. "I want more."

  Maverick couldn't deny him. He was trying to hide how needy he was, wanting to be balls deep in Alexis, but he was doing a terrible job hiding it. He added another finger, pushing it past the knuckle while searching for his mate’s pleasure spot. Alexis’s body quivered—not from a chill in the room, but from the pleasure Maverick was giving him.

  Their bodies were slick with sweat. Maverick pressed their foreheads together and slowly opened his eyes, committing his mate’s expressive face to memory. Alexis was beautiful with his kiss-swollen lips and long lashes resting on his flushed cheeks. Maverick had a feeling that with one look from Alexis, he would give the man anything his heart desired.

  Maverick peppered kisses from his lips down to his chest as he leaned back on his knees. Alexis’s legs fell on either side of him. Maverick added another finger, reaching down with his other hand to jerk his own cock. Swiping at his weeping erection, he brought his finger to Alexis’s mouth—smearing his precum on his lips.

  “Are you ready for me?” Maverick asked, looking down at his fingers moving in and out of Alexis’s ass.

  Fuck, his hole keeps sucking me back in.

  Alexis licked the precum off his lips and moaned. “Why are you asking such a stupid question?”

  Maverick grinned. “Just seeing if you’re paying attention.”

  Maverick moved closer then removed his fingers, widening Alexis’s legs. He positioned his cock to Alexis’s hole before pushing his erection inside, stopping to catch his breath from the tight heat squeezing the life out of him.

  Alexis grabbed the rails on the headboard and pushed down, taking more of his cock inside of him.

  “Fuck yes,” he whimpered. “More. I need more of you, Mav.”

  “Greedy little thing.”

  “Yes, only for you.”

  Maverick grabbed Alexis by his hips and deepened his strokes. His hips sped up the deeper he got, drawing moans out of Alexis.

  “So full,” Alexis whimpered.

  Maverick growled proudly and closed his eyes. An image flashed behind his closed lids of him kneeling behind Alexis, fucking him as he moaned and clawed at the bedsheets. He snapped his eyes open staring down at his mate who had his eyes closed. Alexis was biting down hard on his bottom lip as if trying to muffle his moans, but it wasn’t helping. Leaning down, Maverick licked his mouth, prying his lips open with his tongue.

  “Open up for me, baby. I need to taste your sweetness as you cum.”

  Alexis did as he asked, and Maverick didn’t waste a moment, giving his mate a deep kiss that made his hips stutter from the intensity. Maverick slowly peppered kisses down Alexis’s neck and was elated when his mate tilted his head to the side, giving him permission to bite and claim him. Maverick licked the sweat off his skin, tasting his mate’s sweet essence.

  “Bite me, please. I need to…”

  Maverick didn’t let him finish before he elongated his canines, sinking them into Alexis’s neck. His mind went blank as blood gushed into his mouth, and cum spurted inside of his mate, sparking fire between them. Maverick continued to fuck and drink Alexis’s blood through his orgasm.

  As if off in the distance, he could hear Alexis moaning and feel his nails piercing into his skin, which brought him back to focus. Maverick pulled his canines from Alexis’s skin and licked the bite marks healing them completely. He trailed his bloody lips up his jaw and captured his mouth as thoroughly as he had his body. He hissed when his tongue grazed against a sharp point. Leaning his head back, he was surprised to see canines when Alexis licked his lips.

  “I didn’t know warlocks had canines.”

  “How else do you expect us to bond with our mates? Knotting and you only biting me is a one-sided thing.” He clenched down on Maverick’s cock still inside of him realizing he’d knotted him. “And they are not canines, but fangs.”

  “Do you want to bite me?”

  “Yes,” he hissed. “I miss the way your blood taste.”

  “You realize you sound like a vampire?”

  “Yeah. My great grandfather is a vampire, so some of his traits bled into us kids. But enough of that, show me your neck and give me your blood.”

  “So damn demanding,” he said, tilting his head to the side, bearing his neck to his mate.

  Alexis

  Alexis gasped when Maverick flipped them over. His knotted cock was still nestled in his ass, making him feel needy again. Maverick had a hold of his waist, pushing him down, and letting his knot rub against his prostate.

  "Are you planning on claiming me before I fuck you again?"

  "Why can't we do both?"

  He leaned forward, resting his palms on Maverick's muscular chest, fucking himself on Maverick's knot. "Oh gods, you feel so good inside of me." He licked his lips, looking down at the pulsating vein in the werewolf's neck.

  The first time he’d bit Maverick, the man's blood had aroused him, and he’d demanded he be fucked all night long. It had been exhilarating and stimulating at the same time. He wanted to feel that way again and he licked his fangs in anticipation. Bending down, he licked Maverick's skin before sinking his fangs into his flesh. Blood spurted in his mouth, and his heartbeat sped up as his skin grew hot.

  Yes, this is what I need.

  Maverick's hand cupped the back of his neck, pressing his fangs deeper into his skin. The roll of his hips intensified as Maverick controlled the rhythm with his strong hold on him.

  "Oh shit, I'm going to cum again," Maverick whispered in his ears.

  Alexis was feeling the same way.

  His fingers dug into Maverick's chest, hoping he wouldn't cum so quickly, but it was the catalyst that brought the werewolf over the edge. Maverick brutally fucked him, his thrusts intensifying, and Alexis was in bliss. Having his body used by his mate in such an erotic way turned him on more than ever.

  Slowly, he removed his fangs from Maverick's neck and wasn't surprised when the wound healed on its own. He grabbed the alpha wolf by the face, taking Maverick's lips, and demanding the man give him every emotion he was feeling through their kiss.

  Sitting up, he continued to ride Maverick's cock, watching his mate try to catch his breath with their eyes locked on each other.

  "Don't tell me you're done for the night, alpha wolf?"

  "Cheeky little warlock. I have enough stamina to fuck you all night."

  Alexis smiled. "Don't talk about it. Show me."

  Maverick grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him down, their mouths inches apart. "Gladly."

  He took Alexis's mouth in another kiss that had him seeing stars and continued to fuck him until he passed out from exhaustion. One thing he admired about Maverick Knox was that he was a man of his word.

  Maybe this mating thing will work out after all.

  Maverick

  Maverick groaned as he woke up. He buried his nose deeper into Alexis's hair, taking in his scent. He was content and didn't feel like moving.

  After their all-night fucking session, they’d both fell asleep exhausted. He was surprised he had a raging hard-on intent on filling his mate’s ass. He had no idea what time it was, and he didn't care.

  There was a nagging thought in the back of his mind. There was something he was supposed to do with his folks that day. But for the life of him, he couldn't remember. He snapped his eyes open when Alexis sat up quickly.

  "Fuck, I thought I was done with this shit."

  He threw off the covers and ran to the bathroom. The sound of retching brought him back to reality. He wasn't ready for the whole baby thing, but he wasn't going to leave his mate and child alone. He wasn’t that kind of man. He took responsibility for his actions. Throwing off the covers, he got out of bed and padded to the bathroom.

  Alexis was leaning over the toilet with a hand holding his hair from his face. He grabbed the washcloth folded over the sink and wet it, then walked over to Alexis and placed a hand on his and started dabbing his face with the wet cloth. He didn't speak, but let his mate know he was there. They were going to get through this together.

  A few minutes later, Alexis flushed the toilet and struggled to get up. He stepped around Maverick and over to the sink where he washed his face and brushed his teeth. Maverick’s heart started to break when Alexis started to cry. Instantly, Maverick was at his mate's side, pulling him into his arms. Alexis wrapped his arms around his waist and buried his face in his chest.

  They had a lot they needed to talk about. Like when were they going to tell their parents. Granted, Misha might have already mentioned everything to his mother. She still needed to hear the words from him.

  Then there was his pack and Alexis’s coven. They needed to discuss doctor’s appointments and all the things that came with having a baby. After seeing Alexis go through morning sickness, he felt guilty for not being there for him for the past three months.

  "I'm so sorry I haven't been here for you from the beginning."

  "It's not your fault. I kept the truth from you, thinking I could do this alone. I'm so sorry."

  "I'm not going to tell you I'm over being angry. But I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere. We're going to do this together. I know this isn't what we wanted, but the fates must know what they are doing, and that's something to believe in."

  Alexis nodded and continued to hold on to him. "I can accept that."
