His Forgotten Mate

by Giovanna Reaves

  "Do you think it would be bad manners if we kicked them out now?" Alexis's asked, loud enough for his family to hear.

  "Who cares when they leave. As long as I have you writhing and moaning underneath me by the end of the night, they can sleep over if they want."

  "I never knew you had a bit of kink in you, Maverick Knox. But I'd rather it be just us when we get our freak on." Alexis smiled and kissed him, then turned to the rest of his family. "Alright, let's finish this party up so you guys can go home, and I can have my mate all to myself."

  "Damn, I'm not sure if you're just eager or horny," Marius said to him.

  "Let's go with both," Alexis said with a wink.

  He was getting along with all of Maverick's brothers...except for Matthus, who seemed to keep him at arm’s length. He looked around to see if the man was in the room, hoping to get a moment of his time. Alexis was a bit disappointed when he didn't see him.

  "Have you seen Matthus?" he asked Maverick.

  "I think he went into the kitchen."

  "Okay, thanks. I'm going to try and talk to him."

  Maverick leaned down and kissed him. "Thanks. He can be an asshole at times, but he's not a bad guy."

  Alexis nodded and stepped away from Maverick to search for his brother-in-law. The second he stepped into the kitchen, he had to cover his mouth to mask his gasp. Leaning against the counter was Matthus and Cullen—kissing each other as if there was no tomorrow. Cullen reached between their bodies and rubbed Matthus's cock, pulling a moan from the other man. Not wanting to be caught, Alexis slowly backed out of the kitchen and joined the rest of the family.

  Holy shit. Are they seeing each other? When did it start?

  He had so many questions swirling in his head. He felt as if he was going to burst.

  "Did you find him?" Maverick asked walking over to him.

  "Ah...yeah. But I didn't get to talk to him."

  "Why not?"

  "He was busy," Alexis answered. Maverick looked confused. "I'll tell you later."

  "Okay," he said, going back over to Viktoria.

  Holy shit!

  Chapter Ten

  Maverick

  "Cullen and Matthus?" Maverick asked, as he pulled on his sleep pants then got in bed beside his mate.

  Everyone had finally gone home after enjoying their eventful day of presents, drinks, and food that was now overflowing in the fridge. Maverick was pleased to see his family was getting along, even in the short time since he and Alexis had announced they were mates.

  It seemed as if it had only been weeks and not months since Alexis first barged into his office, turning his world upside down. He was just as excited to meet his twins as he knew Alexis was. They were somewhat ready for the whole parenting thing. He reached over and rubbed Alexis's belly before leaning down and placed two kisses, one for each of his cubs.

  "Yes," Alexis finally answered. "They weren't holding anything back with that kiss either."

  "So do we ask them if they are dating or—"

  "No, let's leave them alone. If they are dating, they will tell us. It could just be a one off or a drunken kiss. But wouldn't it be great if they were mates?"

  Maverick rolled his eyes at the excited giggles coming from his mate. "I'm not sure how it would work between two alphas. I'm pretty sure Matthus isn't a bottom."

  "Then it's a good thing Cullen is."

  "Wait a minute," Maverick said, sitting up. "He's an alpha and a bottom?"

  Alexis huffed and crossed his arms, resting them on his stomach. "Do you have a problem with that? Are you saying my brother is a lesser alpha because he likes to take as much as he gives." He narrowed his eyes at Maverick daring him to say something stupid.

  "Um…no," Maverick said carefully. Alexis had been a bit high strung lately and getting upset at the littlest thing. "I’ve just never heard of an alpha who wants to be on the bottom. That's all."

  "Maybe you werewolves need to have an open mind. Our kind doesn't lean on the alpha and omega crap."

  "That might be true." Maverick shrugged. "Then if they are mates, I'll support them. All I care about is Matthus's happiness."

  "Good. Same here for Cullen." He leaned in and kissed Maverick.

  Thank gods, crisis averted.

  He laid back down, putting his hands behind his head.

  "I think they will make a good couple. Maybe they'll even have cute little cubs like we are." Alexis settled down in bed and rested his head on Maverick's chest.

  "Yeah, I'm sure they could adopt a couple of witches or cubs," summarized Maverick.

  "Silly, they don't need to adopt. If they decide to adopt, that's fine. But Cullen can get pregnant."

  Did he just say Cullen can get pregnant?

  "How?"

  "The same way you got me pregnant. Sex and lots of it." The 'duh' was left off his answer.

  Alexis kissed him on his chest, then licked his nipples. He peppered soft kisses up to Maverick's neck and nibbled on the soft spot behind his ear.

  "W—fuck." Maverick was losing his train of thought as Alexis reached down into his sleep pants and caressed his cock. "Di…you…say…fuck. Baby, you have to stop for a second. I need to wrap my head around this whole alphas can also get pregnant thing." Maverick leaned back, putting some space between them.

  "Why?" He whined. "I don't want to talk about Cullen and Matthus anymore." He licked his lips, and Maverick could have sworn the warlock's eyes twinkled with lust. "I've talked enough for one day."

  "So what do you want to do?"

  "I want to ride your cock." Lust laced Alexis’s voice.

  Maverick couldn't argue with that. He could clarify the whole Cullen getting pregnant thing later.

  "Then what's taking you so long." Maverick relaxed and let his mate take charge.

  Alexis smiled and got between his legs, pulling off his sleep pants. Maverick’s erection slapped him on his lower abs. Alexis licked his lips and moaned, leaning down to drag his tongue from his balls and up his shaft to the slit of his cock. He swirled the tip of his tongue around the mushroom head, sucking Maverick's hard length into his mouth, taking him deep.

  "Fuck," he groaned, jerking his hips up. He rested a hand on the back of Alexis's head, grasping a handful of his hair and controlling his movements. "Suck me harder, baby." He hissed when Alexis's mouth tightened around his dick.

  Alexis sucked and licked his cock, leaving Maverick a mumbling mess. As good as his mate's mouth was, Maverick wanted more. He pulled Alexis's mouth off his cock.

  "Come up here," he ordered.

  "But I was having fun," Alexis pouted as he moved up Maverick's body as much as his stomach would allow him.

  "I thought you wanted to ride me?" Maverick growled, leaning up to kiss him.

  "Oh yes," Alexis moaned against his lips, then pushed him back down onto the bed. “Need to feel you inside of me, now.”

  Alexis raised his hips and positioned the head of Maverick’s cock against his hole. They both inhaled as Alexis slowly lowered himself down his shaft.

  "Oh gods," Alexis panted.

  Alexis ground his hips, taking more of Maverick's dick inside of him until he was fully seated.

  Maverick gritted his teeth and dug his head into his pillow as Alexis's tight heat engulfed him. He caressed Alexis's legs and thighs, slowly moving his hands up—stopping with one hand on his hip and the other gripping Alexis’s cock, slowly stroking. Maverick thrust up as Alexis came down, joining their bodies together.

  He opened his eyes, not realizing he had closed them, and gazed up at his mate. "You're beautiful," Maverick whispered.

  Alexis looked down at him with love and lust in his eyes. "I love you" He moaned. "Please, Mav. Let me cum."

  He continued to stroke and thrust into his sweet lover, pulling moans and groans from both their mouths. Maverick licked his lips, wanting to taste Alexis's but knew in their new position it wasn't possible. Slowly, he eased Alexis off his cock.

  "Turn aro
und," he ordered.

  Alexis didn't argue and did what he was told. Maverick sat up and scooted back on the bed, bringing Alexis with him. Holding his erection in his hand, he slowly lowered his mate back down on his cock. Alexis groaned as he started riding Maverick again. He leaned up, pressing his chest to his lover's back, kissing and licking the sweat from his neck. Alexis wrapped an arm around Maverick's, leaning his head on his shoulder. Alexis was going wild from their new position as he rode Maverick's dick hard.

  "That's it, baby. Fuck yourself on my cock," Maverick growled, turning into a moan when Alexis's hole tightened around his dick. "Use me any way you want." He pressed a hand to Alexis's chest, taking his cock with the other.

  "What do you need, baby?"

  "C…cum…I need to cum." Alexis turned his head and claimed Maverick's mouth, not stopping his movements.

  Alexis's hips stuttered when Maverick tweaked one of his nipples. He whimpered into their kiss when the head of his cock was pinched. Pride swelled inside of Maverick knowing he was making his mate feel good. He trailed the tip of his nose down to Alexis's neck. Brushing his hair away to the side with his chin, Maverick licked and sucked up a mark on the nape of his neck. His canines elongated, and he scraped them against the tender spot.

  "Ma—"

  Before Alexis's could finish his word, Maverick stuck his canines in his lover's neck. Alexis cried out his name as cum spurted onto his hand. Alexis's body shivered against his. Maverick drank more of his blood and stroked his mate’s dick through his orgasm. After he'd taken his fill, he removed his canines then licked the mark closed, healing it.

  "Can you go a bit longer?" Maverick asked, kissing his shoulder.

  "Oh yes," Alexis groaned.

  Maverick brought his cum-soaked hand to Alexis's mouth and watched his lover lick his fingers and palm clean.

  "So sexy," Maverick whispered in his ear.

  "Yours," Alexis moaned and turned his head as they shared another kiss.

  "Mine." He licked a small bit of his cum off the corner of his mate's mouth. "Get on your back," he said, kissing him on the side of his neck.

  Maverick was still hard and needed to cum. But he wanted to look at Alexis's face when he did. Maverick was on the cusp of exploding and knew it wouldn't take long. Alexis laid on his back and looked at him with half-lidded eyes. Maverick went to his knees and leaned over Alexis, capturing his lips. He leaned back, lifting one of Alexis's legs and resting it on his shoulder.

  Scooting closer, he positioned his cock to Alexis's already stretched, moist hole. They both moaned when Maverick pushed in and started thrusting. He didn't slow his pace as he fucked his mate with abandon. The sound of their skin slapping together aroused him more. His heart pounded in his chest in tandem with his thrusts, hitting Alexis's prostate with each precise movement.

  "Yes, keep doing that," Alexis begged.

  "Like this?" Maverick asked, brushing over his prostate again and again. He could feel his balls tightening and his orgasm building.

  "Gonna…cum,” he choked out.

  He held on tight to the leg on his shoulder. Maverick growled loudly as he came, searing the inside of Alexis's walls. He kept pumping his hips through his orgasm, feeling his knot form and lock them together.

  Maverick slowly opened his eyes as his heartbeat started to calm down. His heavy panting mingled with Alexis's as they stared at each other. His eyes trailed down his mate's body, and he realized Alexis had cum once more. Pride swelled inside of him, knowing there were times he could make his mate cum without touching his cock.

  "I can tell why you're smiling," Alexis said through panting breaths.

  "Yeah. What am I thinking?"

  "That you're so fucking proud you made me cum without either one of us touching my cock." Alexis smiled.

  "That's because I'm that fucking good."

  "You're so fucking cocky."

  Maverick brushed his knot over Alexis's prostate, making him gasp.

  "Fuck yeah, I am." He leaned forward and brushed his lips against Alexis's. "And I'm yours."

  "Yes, you are."

  Epilogue

  Alexis

  “Do we have to go?” Alexis whined.

  He sat down on the bed as he tried to put on his pants. Things were becoming difficult to do now that Alexis was getting closer to his last month. He couldn’t see his feet anymore, and Maverick had to help him do the simplest things—like tying his shoelaces.

  The past couple of months had passed in a blur for him. Between their bonding ceremony and check-ups, Alexis was exhausted. He and Maverick were absolutely in love with each other and were ready to meet their babies. He still didn’t know their gender, and it was really pissing him off that everyone knew except for him.

  He had tried to convince Neptune and Viktoria he didn’t need a shower. He and Maverick were wealthy enough and had all the baby essentials they needed. So, it only made sense they tell him what they were having. But the two soon-to-be-grandmothers refused. Not even his own doctor would tell him what he was having.

  Even with that one little bump in the road, his twins had taken over his entire body. They were going to a family dinner, and Alexis couldn’t understand why they weren’t having it at his house. But first, he and Maverick needed to meet with a new investor since Alexis decided to give Knox Corp. full control over C. A. Silver with the agreement that none of his employees would be fired.

  Alexis had made the choice to stay home with the twins until they started school. It had shocked the shit out of Maverick and himself as well. The conversation had come up one day when they were sitting on the couch, making more plans for their future.

  “Are you sure that’s what you want to do?” Maverick asked with concern.

  “Yes,” he answered truthfully. “My mom did it with all three of us before she went back into the workforce. She also taught us the spells and potions we needed to learn. And since we are having twins, I think they will need me to guide them for a bit. One might be a witch or warlock or both.”

  “Or they could both be werewolves,” Maverick added.

  “Yes. Would you be willing to stay home and teach them the basics of being good little wolves? And let me go back to work?”

  “Of course, I would,” Maverick answered.

  “Really?” Alexis turned to look at his mate.

  “Why does that surprise you?”

  “Because I know how important Knox Corp. is to you.”

  “And C. A. Silver means just as much to you. But you’re willing to give it up to stay home with our cubs without me even asking or suggesting it.”

  “Were you thinking of asking me?”

  “No. I figured you’d jump back into things after a few months.”

  “Maybe,” Alexis said thoughtfully. “But I’m only turning over C. A. Silver to you. I still have all my side businesses. I’ll be looking after those. But I want our children to be my priority for now.”

  “Alright,” Maverick whispered. “But I’m not changing the name or letting you step down as CEO. I’ll simply take care of it for now.”

  “Thank you.” They leaned closer to each other, and their lips connected.

  “Yes,” Maverick answered, pulling him from his musing. “Your mom has been planning this dinner for a while now.”

  “Why now? Why today of all days? I’m seriously not in the mood to mix and mingle with anyone today. Even family.”

  He held up his hands, asking for help getting up.

  Maverick walked over and helped him up. “I don’t know, baby.” He kissed Alexis on the forehead. “We’ll meet with the new investor, dash off to your mom’s, stay for a bit, and then back home where you can get some rest. It will only be a couple of hours.”

  “You say a couple of hours, and it turns into the next day,” Alexis grumbled as he waddled off to the bathroom to pee for the thirtieth—or maybe the hundredth time that day. He growled hearing Maverick chuckling.

  * * *
/>   Maverick

  An hour later they pulled up to Chuck's, and Maverick could see the confusion on Alexis's face. He knew how cranky his mate was as of late and was trying his best not to irritate him.

  "Um…why are we at Chuck's?"

  "I told the investor to meet me here. It will be a quick drink, then we'll be off to your parents house."

  Alexis sighed and looked at him. "Promise me foot and back rubs for a week, and I'll play nice."

  Maverick smiled. "I promise. Come on," he said, getting out of the car. He jogged over to Alexis's side and helped him out of the car. He looked over to the bar. With the tinted windows, he couldn't tell if anyone was there. It was during the day, and it appeared as if the bar was closed. Once the sun went down and the streetlights came on outside, so did the lights in the bar. They walked up to the door and opened it, he stood back and let Alexis walk in first.

  "Surprise!"

  "Oh, my gods," Alexis yelled and then started chuckling. “You guys scared the shit out of me.” He turned and looked at Maverick. "You knew they were going to do this?"

  Maverick stepped closer to his mate and wrapped his arms around his waist. "Yes, I did. The moms and I came up with this idea to surprise you in the place where it all started." The room was filled with family, friends, pack members, and close associates. It was decorated in purple, blue, and white with a large banner that spelled out 'Congratulations Maverick and Alexis.'

  "I love it,” Alexis said, going to his toes and kissing him. "Thank you."

  "You're welcome." Maverick went to kiss him again when Cassandra stepped up beside them.

  "Oh no, you two don't." She stepped in between them. "When you start kissing, you don't stop. Besides, I thought you'd want to know the sex of your babies."

  "You mean I finally get to find out what I'm having?"

  "Yup," Neptune said, stepping over to them.

  Alexis looked at Maverick. "You better not know before me or no sex for a year."

  The entire room burst out in laughter.
