  Bailey smiled and leaned in, giving Lexi a quick kiss. “That’s good. It scares me to think what could have happened to you.”

  “I’m sorry I scared you, mate. You must know that I would do anything to stay with you forever. But when the time comes to fight, I need to stand by my brothers, by my Alpha couple, and do my best to make sure this world gets better for you and for all of the paranormals. I would never willingly leave you, Bailey. Never,” Lexi said with conviction as his eyes glimmered with all the love he had for his mate.

  “I know, Lex. It just scares me to think I might lose you,” Bailey whispered around the lump in his throat.

  Lexi pulled him close. “Hey now. Let’s not think like that, okay?” he asked as he leaned back against the headboard and wrapped Bailey in his arms. “We’re going to have good days and bad days, but as long as we stick together and remember how much we love each other, no matter what happens, we will always be together. Even if we’re apart, our love for each other and the memories we make will keep us together forever.” Lexi kissed the top of his head and squeezed him tight.

  “But what if you died, Lexi? How would I go on without you?” Bailey cried.

  “Do you want to know the reason I fought so hard, pretty baby? And why I fought so hard to come back to you?” Bailey nodded against Lexi’s chest. “Because all I could think about was you. About holding you, kissing you, and making love to you. How much I love to see your eyes light up when you get excited about something. And to be able to wake up every morning to that beautiful smile you give me. And…because I don’t want you to die, pretty baby.” Bailey pulled his head back and looked up at Lexi in confusion. “Don’t you know that as mates, if one of us dies, the other one will soon follow?”

  Bailey’s eyes went wide in shock. “No. I heard that once, but my parents brushed it off as an old tale.”

  “Well they were wrong. It’s the truth. Once you mate your true mate, our soul that was split and has now been mended together is what binds us. We share the same soul. That’s why true mates are so perfect for one another. So if one of us dies, so does the other,” Lexi gently pulled Bailey’s head back to lie on his chest and he ran his fingers through his golden strands. “You have only just begun to live, mate, and I won’t let your life end now.”

  “Lexi,” Bailey whispered and swallowed hard as he blinked his eyes to stop the tears. “I need to feel you. I want you inside me.” He lifted his head and looked into Lexi’s eyes. “Make love to me.”

  Lexi cupped his cheek and kissed him tenderly. “You never have to ask, mate. I’m all yours.”

  Bailey stood from the bed and quickly stripped his clothes. He looked up when he heard a deep, sexy growl come from Lexi. His mate lay on the bed naked as his hungry eyes watched Bailey’s every move. Bailey smiled and climbed onto the bed and moved between Lexi’s spread legs. “I need to taste you,” Bailey whispered.

  Before Lexi could respond, Bailey engulfed the head of his leaking cock in his mouth. Lexi saw stars at the sensation of his mate’s lips around his hard shaft. His little mate slowly slid his lips down Lexi’s cock until he felt the tip touch the back of Bailey’s throat. Then his mate swallowed and Lexi knew what true heaven was. He pressed his head back against the pillows and closed his eyes tight as he clenched his jaw. His fingers fisted the sheet below him as he tried to control the urge to thrust up into Bailey’s warm, wet mouth. Bailey slowly drew back and sucked Lexi harder as he went. He pulled off Lexi’s cock with a pop and began licking and nibbling down one side and up the other. He laved Lexi’s cock lovingly, worshipping his shaft as if it were his favorite thing in the world. Lexi was going out of his mind from the attention his mate was giving his dick. “Oh fuck, baby, that feels so good,” Lexi said between clenched teeth.

  Lexi had been with a lot of men in his life, but never had anyone loved on his cock the way Bailey did. His mate was born to suck cock. Bailey licked a long line down the underside of his shaft, pressing his tongue against the vein as he went. He sucked on a spot at the base and Lexi’s hips jerked off the bed. He never knew that was a hot spot for him. “Oh fuck, baby! Oh shit that’s so good.” The sensation was delicious.

  Bailey slid his lips down under Lexi’s cock and began to lick his sac. He drew the balls into his mouth and gently sucked as he rolled them around with his tongue.

  Bailey’s hands caressed up and down Lexi’s thighs and then up over his hips and stomach. Lexi’s body was on fire and he needed to come. “I’m gonna come, pretty baby,” he growled.

  Bailey released his sac and in one motion, engulfed Lexi’s whole shaft into the back of his throat and sucked. His cheeks hollowed out as he began to bob his head up and down faster on Lexi’s shaft. “Oh fuck!” Lexi yelled out and his hands grabbed Bailey’s head. He fought not to grab his mate too tight, but the pleasure his mate was giving him was so great he was losing control. Bailey sucked harder and swallowed Lexi into his throat. It sent Lexi careening over the edge and he shot his seed down Bailey’s throat. The muscles in Bailey’s throat pulled and rippled around his cock, drawing every drop from within him and making his orgasm last longer.

  Bailey slowly released his spent cock and pulled back. He raised his head to look at Lexi with glazed eyes, and licked his swollen lips. His mate looked so fucking sexy and wanton. With a growl, Lexi sat up quickly and wrapped his arms around Bailey, pushing him onto his back. Lexi lay over his mate and claimed his lips in a hard, passionate kiss. He thrust his tongue into Bailey’s mouth and growled at the taste of himself on Bailey’s tongue. The combination of his seed and Bailey’s own unique taste made Lexi’s wolf howl in joy. Lexi held Bailey’s face firmly between his hands as he devoured his mouth.

  His cock began to twitch and fill again just from the taste of his mate. He thrust his hips in time with his tongue and rubbed their swollen cocks together between them, but it wasn’t enough, he needed to be inside his mate. He needed to claim him again. To mark him inside and out and show the world that this amazing creature was all his. Lexi pulled back from the kiss and panted breathlessly as his chest heaved and his heart raced. “Don’t move,” he growled deeply.

  Lexi turned to the head of the bed and grabbed the lube from under the pillow. He didn’t care how bad he needed to be inside his mate, he wouldn’t risk hurting him. He needed to calm down enough to get his mate ready for him. He squirted a generous amount of the slick lube on his fingers and tossed the bottle aside. He turned back to his mate and saw Bailey looking at him with adoration. He slowed his movements and crawled between Bailey’s legs. Lexi kissed him gently and pressed the tip of one finger into Bailey’s hot hole, causing Bailey to moan so erotically.

  Lexi licked and sucked Bailey’s throat and lips as he continued to add fingers into him and stretch him. “I’m ready, Lexi,” Bailey said breathlessly as he moaned. “Please, mate. I need you inside me.”

  Lexi withdrew his fingers and sat back on his heels. He wrapped his hand around his rock-hard shaft and slicked himself up with the excess lube. He shifted forward and lifted Bailey’s legs, placing his mate’s knees over his shoulders. Lexi watched as the tip of his cock kissed Bailey’s opening. He pushed forward and watched as Bailey opened for him and the tip slid inside. “Aah,” Bailey moaned in ecstasy.

  Lexi slowly slid inside his mate and moaned deep in his throat at the feel of Bailey’s hot, pulsing flesh wrapped around him. Bailey writhed and whimpered beneath him. Lexi slowly pulled back and closed his eyes. He pumped forward, stretching Bailey’s sleeve again, to welcome him inside. Bailey gasped sharply and released a guttural moan. Lexi grabbed Bailey’s hips, fingers squeezing as he pushed inside Bailey as far as he could go.

  “Oh fuck, Lexi! Uuh!” Bailey cried out. Lexi lowered Bailey’s legs and wrapped them around his waist. Laying his body over his mate’s, Lexi held his weight up on his arms as he took Bailey’s lips in another passionate kiss. He rocked his hips slowly, pulling and pushing his cock in and out of Bailey’s exquisi
te body. Bailey moaned into his mouth and arched his body, pressing harder against Lexi’s.

  He pulled back from the kiss and licked a trail up Bailey’s throat. His pace quickened and his thrust grew harder. “I need to claim you, pretty baby. I need to feel all of you.” Lexi’s voice was husky and the hot pants of his breath against Bailey’s skin caused him to shiver. Lexi’s thrust quickened and Bailey gasped and grabbed onto Lexi’s back, digging his nails into flesh.

  “Fuck, yes…oh gods…yes. You feel so good, Lexi…Uuh!” Bailey screamed out and began to shudder beneath him as he held Lexi tight and thrust his hips, meeting Lexi thrust for thrust. “Don’t stop, Lexi,” Bailey panted. “Claim me, mate.” Lexi licked across his mating mark and bit into Bailey’s flesh. He was immediately brought to the gates of heaven as his mate’s taste coated his tongue. “Lexi!” Bailey screamed and dug his nails in deeper as his body shook beneath Lexi.

  Lexi thrust harder, increasing his rhythm, fucking his mate with desperation. He slid one arm under Bailey and held him tight as his orgasm rushed toward him. They held on to each other and fucked with a reckless abandon, their sweat-slicked bodies sliding and melding together, moving as one. Bailey screamed out in ecstasy as Lexi felt his mate’s hot seed shoot from him and slide between them. He released Bailey’s neck and licked his bite closed. Lexi threw his head back as his orgasm tore through him almost painfully and shot from him, filling Bailey with his release and love. “Bailey!” Lexi cried out as the last of his seed emptied deep into his mate, claiming him on the inside. He lost all his strength and dropped against Bailey as he tried to catch his breath.

  Breathing heavily, Bailey softly caressed Lexi’s muscled back, stroking him. He brought his hands up and shoved his fingers into Lexi’s damp hair and kissed his head. Lexi pulled back and kissed Bailey’s lips tenderly and then gently pulled from him and rolled to Bailey’s side, pulling his mate with him.

  They lay there in silence, just holding on to each other as their hearts slowed. Bailey released a contented sigh against Lexi’s chest and it made him smile. He stroked his fingers lightly down Bailey’s back, causing a small tremor, making Lexi smile again and his cock fill.

  Bailey raised his head and looked into Lexi’s eyes. “Again?”

  Lexi grinned wide. “I can’t help it, baby. You do this to me,” he said with a chuckle and pulled Bailey to him and claimed his lips.

  They lay wrapped in each other’s arms, legs entwined, as they stared into each other’s eyes. Bailey’s eyes fluttered sleepily as exhaustion seeped in from their full night of lovemaking. Lexi slowly caressed his hand down Bailey’s soft, smooth back and over his plump globes. He stroked and caressed Bailey’s ass as he laid small, gentle kisses on his lips. “How is this baby feeling? Do you hurt?” Lexi asked as he gave Bailey’s ass a gentle squeeze.

  Bailey giggled. “You’re calling my ass baby?”

  Lexi smiled. “Of course I am. This baby right here is very precious to me. I need to make sure it’s well taken care of, along with the body, heart, and soul it’s attached to.” Lexi squeezed his ass again. “This baby is my own personal doorway to heaven.” Lexi smiled again and kissed Bailey softly.

  “You’re such a goof, you know that?” Bailey laughed.

  “Yes, and you love me anyway.”

  “Yes, I do, Lexi. I love you with all my heart and soul,” Bailey said in a voice filled with emotion.

  “I love you with all that I am, mate.” Lexi kissed Bailey’s forehead tenderly and Bailey yawned. Lexi pulled Bailey against his chest and wrapped his arm around him. “Sleep now, mate,” he whispered. Bailey snuggled against his chest and burrowed his head under Lexi’s chin, his face against Lexi’s throat.

  Lexi lay there listening to Bailey’s breathing slow and even out, and a small snore escaped his lips. Lexi kissed the top of Bailey’s head and closed his eyes. He released a contented sigh as he felt the pull of sleep. He finally knew the meaning of life and why he was here. This amazing creature in his arms was the reason. He was given to Lexi to protect and shelter. And for him to find the inner peace he sought all his life since that horrible day on his eighteenth birthday. He finally knew what true love was and it was right here in his arms.
