Blinded

  When he raised his gaze back to mine, he smiled. "I'd imagined a million ways you looked, but none of them were as perfect as how you really look." He reached out, running his hands over my beard as he cupped my face in his hands. His thumbs rubbed over my lips and I opened my mouth, sneaking my tongue out to touch his fingers with the tip.

  "I love how you look at me." My entire body felt his stare as if he was seeing right through to my soul.

  "Now that I can see you, I'm never taking my eyes off you." He brushed his thumbs over my beard as he leaned in and kissed me.

  In a way, it was as if we were meeting again for the first time. That final bit of acceptance clicked together in our link. There was no more doubt or wondering. He didn't worry that I didn't want him because of his blindness, and I didn't worry that he wouldn't like what he saw. We were finally truly mated in every sense of the word.

  "I'm sorry we tricked you. You know I'd never let another person touch me. I hated even faking it, but it did get your wolf to come forward." I stared into his eyes. I didn't think I'd ever stop.

  "I knew, deep inside I knew, but my wolf is primal. Just the thought was enough to bring out his possessiveness and fight for you. I'll always fight for you." Brett relaxed back against the wall with a heavy sigh. "I finally feel like myself. Feel complete."

  I gripped his knee. "No pain?"

  "None. The numbness is wearing off. I still can't feel half of my face, but I'm sure that will change as soon as the medication wears off. Even if it didn't, I can see, and that makes it all worth it. I was so scared I'd never see again, so sure I'd never get to look at you."

  I laughed. "Now you're stuck looking at my ugly mug every day."

  "All day, every day, forever." Brett smiled. "Guess we need to go out there, don't we?"

  "Yeah, at least let Dr. Gordon know you can see, but I'm guessing Kurt knows already through our link with him. You'd be upset if it hadn't worked." I slowly stood, going over to where Cohen kept a drawer filled with sweatpants. "Here." I tossed him a pair before slipping one on myself.

  "Thanks." Brett stood, turning to look around the room. "This place is impressive."

  I nodded. "They've really made it a safe house for all our needs." I went to him, wrapping my arm around him. "I'm excited for you to officially see everything now."

  "Me too, especially our home."

  "I plan on showing you the bedroom personally tonight." I pulled him against me, burying my face against his neck. "You make me so happy."

  "Of course, I do. I'm your mate." He hugged me tightly as he laughed. "Come on, let's get out there."

  I took his hand and led him out of the medical room. I wasn't surprised to find Kurt, Cohen, Dr. Gordon, and Brett's parents sitting on a couch not far from the door. They all stood when we walked out.

  I expected Brett to go straight to his parents, but he caught me off guard as he released my hand and quickly made his way to where Justice was standing with a beer in his hand. He had to have followed the scent, because he'd never seen him before. I watched in shock as Brett slammed his fist into Justice's face.

  "Stay the fuck away from my mate, even when you're joking about it." Brett took a single step back as he waited for Justice to respond.

  Justice just stared at him and gave a single nod. "I deserved that."

  Brett held out his hand. "I understand why you did it, but I couldn't just let it go. It's nice to meet you officially, and I guess, thank you."

  Justice laughed as he shook Brett's hand. "You're welcome. It's good to see you doing well and have your wolf back."

  I touched Brett's shoulder.

  "I'm not done yet." He turned and strode over to face Kurt.

  "Hit me and we'll have issues." Kurt's nostrils flared.

  "You deserve it." Brett stared directly into Kurt's eyes, refusing to look away even though I could feel the alpha power rolling off Kurt in waves.

  "Maybe, but it worked and that is all that matters." Kurt stared back at him.

  "Don't ever offer my mate to anyone again. I don't care if you are my alpha, I'll kill you." Brett's hands fisted at his side.

  "That's up to you and your wolf." Kurt didn't blink as he stared at Brett.

  I came up behind him, needing to put an end to this. I was proud seeing Brett stand up to Kurt and he had every right to do it, but I wasn't going to let it escalate into more. "I'm yours. You're the only one I want." I kissed a small spot on his neck. "It's over."

  Brett nodded, but stared at Kurt for a moment more before turning away. He took a breath and focused on Dr. Gordon. "I don't know how to ever repay you for what you've done for me."

  "They both work?" Dr. Gordon reached out, touching the areas around Brett's eyes as he looked into them.

  "Perfectly, maybe better than my old ones." Brett smiled. "I didn't dream it was possible, but you've given me my sight back. Thank you."

  Dr. Gordon smiled as he stepped back. "You look good. There shouldn't be any problems, but if there are, you can call me anytime." He gripped Brett's shoulder. "I was happy to be able to help."

  Brett turned to Cohen. "You literally saved my life. From the moment they brought me in here to today, you've been amazing. I don't know how you stopped all the bleeding when I was attacked, how you got me strong enough to shift that day, or how you found someone to give me back my sight, but I owe all of that to you. I'm proud to have you as a pack doctor, but even more proud to call you a friend. If you ever need anything, just say the word."

  Cohen hugged Brett. "It's what pack does. I'm so glad you are here with us, and even happier that you got this jerk to settle down." He nodded at me.

  I laughed.

  "Baby?" Brett's mother stepped forward.

  "Mom." Brett turned and pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry you had to be here for all this."

  She pulled back and cupped his face. "There is nowhere I'd rather be." She smiled as she stared into his eyes. "They're beautiful eyes." Tears filled her own. "I was there the first time you opened your eyes to the world, I'm glad I was able to be here the second time as well."

  I sent a wave of support to Brett as his own emotions seemed to nearly smother him. A lot had happened today, and I couldn't have been happier that my mate was better. He had his sight and he had his wolf. I couldn't wait to get home and help him celebrate.

  CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

  BRETT

  I glanced around the house as we walked in, but it was the last thing on my mind. I didn't care what it looked like at the moment. What I wanted was my mate, and he was more than aware of my desires.

  Bayne grinned as he shut the front door. "You going to let me make it to the bedroom?"

  I shook my head as I pulled my shirt from my body and tossed it on the couch. "Nope. Get naked." I stared at him, excited to finally be able to see him like I'd dreamed about for weeks. "I want to watch you strip for me."

  The scent of Bayne's arousal told me that he was more than ready for what I had planned tonight. We'd both been restless while at the pack house with my parents. Once I was sure that they were settled, I'd said goodbye. I loved my family, but it was my mate that I needed tonight.

  Bayne kicked off his shoes, then slowly peeled off his socks. I watched as he casually set them aside before straightening back up and smiling at me. "I like your eyes on me."

  Not as much as I did. "By the time I'm done tonight, there won't be an inch of your body I haven't explored." I worked my pants open, but left them on as I toed off my shoes.

  Bayne worked his shirt over his head, treating me to his thick chest. I wanted to rub my face over the hair that covered it. I'd had my hands over every inch of him, but seeing the play of his muscles, the smile across his face, the arousal in his eyes, it made it so much more. Bayne was the most amazing man I'd ever seen. Everything about him was perfect for me.

  "You look as if you're going to eat me." Bayne swallowed hard as he stepped out of his pants and set them aside before standing up complete
ly naked in front of me.

  "I plan on having my mouth on every inch of you." I eased my own pants off and left them where they were on the floor. "Look how hard you are." I stared at his cock, smirking when it jerked at my attention.

  Bayne reached to stroke it.

  "No, don't touch it. It's mine." I spread my legs wider. "You want to play with a cock, you play with mine." I nodded to the spot on the floor in front of me. "Get on your knees."

  Bayne drew a hard breath as he closed the distance between us and fell to his knees on the floor. He stared up at me, his gaze locked with mine.

  "Do you want this, Bayne? Do you want me to take you how I like?"

  Bayne's heart beat so hard I could see the pulse in his neck. I wanted to run my tongue over the spot and bite at it.

  "Yes." Bayne didn't blink as he stared up at me. "I want it all, everything you have to give me, take from me."

  I smiled. "Show me."

  He didn't reach up with his hands. Instead, he ducked his head and took my cock into his mouth. Keeping his hands on his thighs, he started to work his mouth over my length, sucking gently at first, but then harder as his lips sank down my cock, taking me deep.

  "Fuck." I watched his lips around me and the wetness on my cock as he slid his mouth back. He took me into his throat without a problem, and that was the sexiest thing my mate could give me. I reached down, combing my fingertips over his head for a second before clutching his hair in fists and feeding my cock to him forcefully.

  Other than his eyes widening, he didn't resist. He seemed to relax his throat even more and press his lips tighter around me.

  "You are so perfect." I thrust my hips, snapping them back and forth as I held his hair, using it to guide his mouth over me.

  Bayne's scent made it very obvious that he was fully on board with what we were doing. I'd never smelled him so aroused. It had my own balls pulling tight and me fighting for control. I watched my cock disappear into his mouth, saw his eyes watering, heard the small gag reflex when I hit deep enough. It was too much. I pulled my cock free. I wasn't going to come yet. I had much more to do with my mate.

  Bayne licked his lips, but still didn't move other than to blink several times.

  "I want you on the bed, on your back. Again, don't touch yourself. You're mine." I took one step back and watched as he followed my commands.

  I hadn't planned to do more than toss him on the bed when we got home and fuck him until we both couldn't move, but seeing him on his knees before me, having him so silent, submitting to me was amazing. I wasn't going to push things too far tonight, but in time, I hoped to explore everything with him. I wanted to know his limits, his desires, his needs.

  Bayne watched me as I walked into the bedroom. We'd slept in that bed every night, but seeing him laying back on it was as if it was the first time. I took a moment to look around, visually orienting myself with the room I'd been staying in. It was what I expected, simple, with no clutter or decoration. Simple brown curtains covered the window and they matched the comforter and pillowcases.

  "I can't wait to wake up and have your face be the first thing I see in the morning." I moved closer, stopping when my knees touched the mattress. "Bend your knees and spread your legs. I want to see you."

  A light flush covered Bayne's neck, but he did as I asked, spreading his legs, and bending his knees as he pressed his ankles into the mattress.

  "So beautiful." I bent forward, running my index finger under his balls and over his hole. "This is mine, Bayne. No joking about sharing with other men. No teasing about another's mouth. My mouth is the only mouth that touches you. My cock is the only one that is going to be inside you." I kneeled on the bed, pressing my hands to his knees as I settled between his legs. "I don't know where to start."

  "My lips." Bayne smiled.

  "Want a kiss?" I leaned forward.

  "Desperately." He reached up, wrapping his arms around me as I brought my mouth to his.

  His kiss said everything that words didn't. Through our connection the love flowed back and forth between us, leaving no doubts, no wonder, no thought that there could be anything more for us than each other.

  I ran my hands down his sides, needing to touch him, explore him, and mark him in every way that was possible. I pulled my lips from his, moving to his chin, then down his neck, nipping, licking, and biting as I tasted his skin. His beard was rough against my skin, scratching over me, bringing every nerve alive.

  "Bayne, what you do to me." I groaned as I slid lower down his body, my fingers getting lost in his chest hair as I sucked one nipple then moved to the other.

  I loved the way he moved beneath me, his body arching, pressing his skin to my mouth, soft grunts of pleasure as I touched him in certain places. I memorized each place, knowing one day when I wasn't so desperate for him I would explore them again.

  Licking over his stomach, I forced myself to slow down. I wanted inside him, but I refused to rush, refused to take what I so desperately desired. I wanted to please him first, make sure he got his pleasure before I got mine.

  His cock was thick and heavy, precum dripping from the tip as I wrapped my hand around the base. I stroked him several times, drawing the clear liquid up and down him, as I thought about how good it would taste when I was ready. But first, I wanted to explore somewhere else. Somewhere I hadn't been yet. In all the times we'd had sex already, I had yet to put my mouth to his hole.

  I pressed his legs wider as I settled between them, my mouth going to his balls as I continued to stroke his cock with one hand. His smell was all-consuming, causing my own cock to drip as I pressed my hips against the mattress, trying to find any relief I could.

  "Brett." Bayne's voice was filled with need.

  "I know. I'm going to get you there." I bent forward and sucked one ball into my mouth, rolling my tongue over it, teasingly tugging. I slowly worked from one ball to the other and back again, enjoying the groans and gasps that filled the room. Through our mating bond, I felt the pleasure I was giving him, and he felt the pleasure I was experiencing. There was nothing in the world better than knowing I satisfied my mate and he yearned for what my body could do to his.

  Leaving his balls, I moved lower, spreading his ass as Bayne lifted his legs, holding them back and opening himself to me. I didn't waste any time putting my mouth to him, drawing my tongue up and down his crease before teasing my tongue over his hole, pushing gently inside.

  Wolves seldom used foreplay to open each other up. It was more of a human thing. We enjoyed the sting of pain and the roughness of force, but as I wet him, teased him, and opened him farther for me, I wanted to do this more often, take the time to build his desire up, push him to the point where he almost couldn't stand it anymore.

  I used my mouth and fingers to open him wider, fucking him hard, watching his cock thicken and pulse. I wondered how far I could push him. How much he could take? I wasn't going to find out tonight, but soon I would tie him up and make him beg me for release.

  "Brett, I need you." Bayne's body rocked against the three fingers I had inside him as his hands fisted the bedding, still not touching himself.

  "You want me inside you?" I twisted my fingers in him as I scraped my teeth against his balls.

  "Fuck yes!" Bayne looked down at me between his legs with such need it made my heart ache.

  I pulled my fingers from him and got back up on my knees, moving closer to him. He wrapped his legs around me before I even got inside of him.

  "Bayne, easy. I'm almost there." I brushed the head of my cock over his wet hole before slowly pushing inside him.

  He groaned as he opened for my thickness. I watched as he stretched around me, his body seeming to pull me deeper as I stared down at him.

  "I love you."

  "I love you too. Now fuck me, you tease!" Bayne started to move his body against mine.

  "Damn, you are so bossy. I thought I was the one in charge."

  "You were until I felt like I was goin
g to explode."

  Our words were breathless as we moved together. I wasn't gentle. I took him hard, my cock going deeper with every thrust, then nearly pulling free of him just to sink back inside. "Touch yourself."

  I could have easily reached down and taken him in my hand, but I wanted to watch him. I needed to see how he moved his hand, how he pleased himself. Thank God for my sight. Watching Bayne come undone was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen.

  His fist moved quickly over his length, slapping against the skin as my balls slapped against his ass. We stared at each other, neither of us breaking the eye contact until it became too much and we both struggled to hold back the orgasms that were burning inside of us.

  Through the link, I felt his grow with mine, and I loved that because of that we would come together. My cock thickened, balls tightened, breath caught, and I dug my fingers into his thighs as I gave one final thrust and lost myself inside him. His cock erupted the same moment mine did, his ass tightening around me as streams of cum shot from him and coated his stomach.

  "Holy shit." Bayne dropped his legs as he released his cock.

  I fell forward, unable to pull free from him.

  He took my weight, holding me close, our sweat-covered skin pressed tightly against each other.

  I could spend my life there in his arms. I never wanted to move. As we slowly tried to recover, I held him, enjoying the gentle rise and fall of his chest beneath me. No matter what the future held, I had him with me, and that was more than I could have ever wished for.

  CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

  BAYNE

  "That should be the last of it." I dusted off my hands as I set the last box in the living room of Brett's parents' new home. "You sure you don't want help unpacking?"

  "No, we'll slowly get through the boxes as we settle in. You guys have done enough helping us get the large stuff inside. I really have to thank you and the pack for all the help." Phil smiled.
