“Damn, the things you say,” Adalric finally managed to say, his words still tough to understand through his chuckles. “You’ll keep me on my toes, won’t you?”
Seth smirked, purposefully turning his glare into an assessing look as he swept his gaze over Adalric’s lean body. “I thought maybe I’d keep you on your knees.”
The laughter immediately died, replaced by a low snarl. A quick push-pull to Seth’s body found him sprawled across the sofa with an aggressive vampire on top of him, again. Wait…scratch that, a horny vampire if the ridge pressing into his thigh was any indicator.
“Although I’d be happy to suck your cock any time,” Adalric rumbled—his mouth so close to Seth’s ear that it stirred the tiny hairs right behind and below it, causing goose bumps to rupture down his neck and arms. “To complete our bond, I will need in that sexy ass of yours.”
Seth’s asshole clenched in reflex to Adalric’s words. His hard-as-nails shaft throbbed, aching for pressure, stimulation, but the very idea of giving up his ass…
“N-never done that,” he admitted. “Not ready.”
Adalric froze for several seconds, then gave a whole body shudder. “Seth,” he hissed.
To Seth’s complete and utter shock, the vampire pressed his forehead against Seth’s neck and just seemed to…clutch him, tightly.
Once again, Seth felt confused, this time mixed with a healthy dose of concern. Rubbing his hands down Adalric’s back, he attempted to soothe the vampire. “Hey, hey, what is it?” Seth asked softly. Just what the hell is going on now?
“So fucking sexy,” Adalric growled. One of the man’s hands slipped down and cupped Seth’s ass, giving it a hard squeeze.
Instinct urged Seth to rock up into the lean frame that was so much stronger than it looked and currently pinned him to the sofa.
“My ass. Only mine,” Adalric rumbled gruffly. “Only I will know the pleasure of sinking into your tight sweet body.”
The possessive quality to the man’s tone almost caused Seth to shoot off right then. If the vampire had rutted down at that second, he most certainly would have. Instead, Adalric lifted his head and Seth gasped in shock at the deep red color of his eyes. Fear shot through him and he froze, his heart speeding up in his chest for a whole new reason. He’d seen a vampire’s eyes look like that before. The creature was tearing out the throats of his friends and then he’d come after him, too.
“Please,” he whispered, the word out of his mouth before he could censure it.
Softly crooned words penetrated the fog of terror that seemed to have enveloped him. It took several seconds to realize that Adalric ran his hands over him, rubbing his arms, and massaging his shoulders. The vampire stared down at him in concern as he gently spoke.
“Easy, Seth. Come on, beloved. Talk to me, Seth. Tell me what’s wrong. Tell me what I did, hmm? Does the idea of me taking your ass scare you that much?”
Shit, what the hell is wrong with me? But even as he wondered, Seth knew. Those red eyes would haunt him for a long time. “No, no,” he finally managed to mumble.
“Then we’ll wait,” Adalric replied, sounding reassuring. “I may get excited about being the only one to ever sink into your body, and nothing would please me more than claiming you, but I know how to be patient,” he reassured. “I’ll give you the time you need.”
Seth blinked and finally found the courage to peer up at Adalric’s face. The man’s dark brown eyes stared steadily back at him.
Reaching up, Seth gently ran his thumb over Adalric’s brow. “I thought—” He paused and swallowed hard. Had it been his imagination?
“Thought what?” Adalric asked gently. He turned his head and caught Seth’s thumb in his mouth, sucking lightly.
The pressure felt better than Seth thought it should, and his cock—that had completely deflated during his little panic attack—swelled quickly. Grunting at the sudden stimulus, Seth rocked his hips. “Oh, that feels good.”
Adalric released Seth’s thumb with a pop. “How about I see if I can find out what else would make you feel good?”
Seth couldn’t remember the last time he’d begged, but the light pressure of Adalric’s hard shaft through several layers of clothing set his blood on fire and he couldn’t hide his need. “Y-yes, please.”
“With pleasure.”
To Seth’s shock, Adalric slid one arm under his torso and the other under his ass and stood, carrying Seth without trouble. He just managed to avoid an unmanly squeak, but couldn’t help wrapping his arms and legs around the vampire and clinging.
The way Adalric palmed Seth’s ass and how each jarring step bumped their cocks just ratcheted Seth’s arousal higher. “Shit, never had anyone carry me before,” he murmured, trying to distract himself from his throbbing dick with talk.
Adalric chuckled. “I’ll carry you anywhere, sexy,” he said, before laying Seth onto the bed and following him down. “One of the advantages of being bonded with a vampire.” He smirked and pushed Seth to the middle of the bed.
Seth snickered and watched as Adalric reached for the hem of his shirt. He didn’t fight when the vampire indicated he lift his torso. Once his head popped free of the fabric and he could look the other man in the eye again, he admitted, “Not sure how I feel about that.”
“One thing at a time,” Adalric said, a pleased smile on his face as he swept his gaze over Seth’s exposed chest.
He fought the shocking urge to ask if his lover liked what he saw. The answer was clear in the vampire’s lust-filled gaze. Humming, his lover slid his hands down over Seth’s shoulders, rubbing lightly, then over his pecks. He pinched and rolled Seth’s already puckered nipples.
Sparks fired across Seth’s skin, radiating out from his nubs, and he arched his back, desperately seeking more. Adalric didn’t disappoint. He leaned down and replaced one of his hands with his mouth, sucking and nipping the bud while twisting and tugging the other with his hand. With his free hand, he scraped surprisingly long nails along the sensitive skin of his side, then traced the dips and ridges of his abs.
“Ah, shit, more,” he pleaded. His cock throbbed in his jeans, and he had to twist his fingers into the quilt to keep from tearing them open and seeking relief.
He mewled—fucking mewled—at the sudden loss of stimulation when Adalric pulled away. The vampire slipped off the mattress and stood beside the bed. For a long second, Seth just panted and stared in shock, his senses reeling. Adalric once again swept a very smug gaze over him.
Finally, Adalric ordered, “Let me see that gorgeous cock of yours. I’ve been dreaming of sucking it since I got to jack you off yesterday.”
“Well, who in their right mind could refuse that,” Seth quipped. He wasted no time in removing his jeans, boxers, sneakers, and socks. Surprisingly, when he returned his gaze to Adalric, the vampire had somehow also stripped and now stood stroking his cock—his hefty-girthed, probably over eight inch cock.
Seth swallowed hard, his ass clenching just at the sight of it. He wouldn’t have thought such a lean guy would be so well endowed!
Evidently, Adalric sensed his concern, for he reached out and very gently brushed a finger up Seth’s erection—that waved like a flag, jutting from his groin—making it jerk and twitch. Yeah, that’s a good distraction. Adalric’s fingers threaded through the soft curls around his groin, lightly tugging the hair, making the sensitive skin sting in the best possible way.
“You gonna suck it or just stare at it?” Seth gasped, trying to establish some sort of control.
Adalric seemed to be having none of it. “When I’m good and ready,” he replied.
To Seth’s shock, Adalric lay down on the bed beside him and rested his head in his hand, except his head was beside his hip. Adalric cupped his far thigh and pushed it to the side, spreading him, revealing everything.
Seth’s abs clenched involuntarily as Adalric trailed two fingers along the crease where thigh met groin, then brushed the pads of those digits over and ar
ound and across the sensitive skin of his sacks. His intense stare was almost unnerving and set Seth’s blood singing through his veins at the same time.
His chest already heaved, his head muzzy, and Adalric hadn’t even touched his cock, yet. When the vampire finally did, it was with just as light and teasing a touch as the man had used on his balls.
Adalric placed one finger into his mouth, sucked for a second and winked. Then, using the damp finger, he swirled it around Seth’s angry purple glans. “Oh,” Seth grunted, just stopping himself from thrusting up. Adalric wasn’t giving him anything to thrust against and the move would dislodge that teasing, pleasure-pain giving finger. He couldn’t, however, stop his cock from bobbing. Some muscles acted without conscious thought.
Thankfully, Adalric followed the movement, increasing pressure to press his nail into his oozing piss-slit. Fire shot down his dick into his balls, making his testicles roll in their sacks.
Sparks erupted through his groin. His orbs pulled tight. He never would have guessed his hole could be that sensitive. “Oh, my God,” he squeaked, realizing he was going to come just from this. Adalric dipped his nail into his slit again, and Seth roared as the fire shot down his cock again. This time, he couldn’t stop it. His balls pulled just that little bit tighter, forcing his cum up his stalk in spurts, a push-pull of pain and pleasure beyond anything he’d felt before.
That is, until a couple seconds later, when he watched in tongue-tied shock as Adalric opened his mouth—showing off sharp fangs—and sank his teeth into the blood-engorged vein running up the base of his prick.
Somewhere in the back of Seth’s mind, he registered that he screamed. White and black spots danced before his eyes as a second mind-numbing, earth-shattering orgasm crashed over him, and this one swept him into unconsciousness.
* * * *
Mindful of the important flesh in his mouth, Adalric carefully extracted his fangs. His heart beat like a racehorse and he rested his head on Seth’s hip, trying to catch his breath. His beloved’s responsiveness blew his mind. And my load! Endorphins pinged pleasantly through his system, and Adalric actually snickered.
He knew a goofy grin lit his features, but he didn’t care. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt this good. Seth lit up under his touch like none other, swelling his entire being with pride, lust, and…happiness.
Tilting his head slightly, Adalric took in Seth’s lax expression and evenly rising and falling chest. Damn. He hadn’t even fucked the man and he’d already knocked him out. Smirking, he couldn’t wait to increase his lover’s stamina. They’d have hours—days, even—of fun ahead of them!
Adalric knew Seth wouldn’t purposefully choose to wake with dried cum crusting his skin—and since it was his fault for putting the human in this situation—he hauled himself off the bed and into the attached bathroom.
After a few minutes of cleaning up, Adalric tucked his beloved under the covers, then gave into temptation and slid in beside him. He curled up around his human, a smile playing about the corners of his lips at that thought, and fell asleep.
Chapter Seven
Seth roused slowly, loath to lose the warm cocoon of sleep. Except—wait, a heavy arm around his chest and a muscled leg between his own played a big part in causing the comfortable lethargy. Adalric! He smiled and snuggled back against the vampire’s chest.
Realizing what he did, Seth frowned. Wait a minute. Is this what he really wanted? To wake up in a vampire’s arms every day and let the other man run his life? Well, not just any vampire, but maybe if it was Adalric?
He wasn’t sure anymore. Had they even talked last night? Not really. He still didn’t know what it meant to be the beloved of a vampire leader. He felt an urge to call Bobby, but what could his ex even tell him? Sure, he was mated to a leader, but he was a gargoyle leader. That probably wasn’t very similar was it? Maybe he could talk to Peter. The human who seemed rather infatuated with Toni might be able to help him…or at least point him in the right direction.
The light flooding through the windows finally registered…right about the time Adalric’s dick against his ass did. Awe, shit! He knew it was the coward’s way, but suddenly he couldn’t face the morning after.
It took some doing, but Seth managed to slip out of Adalric’s grip. He grabbed his still packed duffel bag and slipped into the bathroom. Choosing a pair of cargo shorts and a t-shirt, Seth remembered his promise to Xavier. He grinned, looking forward to a day spent getting his hands dirty. There was nothing better than working up a sweat the old fashion way, with manual labor.
He’d just slipped into the shower when he felt the unmistakable breeze that could only be caused by the bathroom door opening. Seth jerked back when Adalric opened the shower stall’s glass door and stepped inside.
“G-good morning?” Seth mumbled, his cheeks heating. Damn, am I blushing? Shit!
Adalric didn’t even pause. He kept coming until he’d pressed Seth against the wall, which sent a shiver down his spine. From the cold along my back, not from the hot piece of male flush against my chest!
When Adalric slipped a hand between them and gripped both their shafts, Seth gasped. “Fuck!” he squeaked, his hips bucking involuntarily, his body searching for friction.
Humming, Adalric lowered his head, but Seth dodged his intended kiss. The vampire growled and his free hand instantly cupped his jaw in a firm grip.
“Wait,” Seth murmured.
“Don’t want to,” Adalric growled. “You weren’t in bed when I woke. Had to track you down.”
Okay, that explained the vampire’s dominant surliness. “Wanted to get cleaned up, but I haven’t brushed, yet,” he hurried to explain. “Morning breath.”
Adalric lowered his head anyway, muttering right before he claimed his mouth, “Don’t care about that. Love the way you taste.”
When his lover thrust in his thick tongue, Seth forgot every reason he had for attempting to deny the man. Seth moaned at the intensely masculine taste. He welcomed Adalric’s tongue and sucked hard. His lover grunted and started stroking their shafts.
Groaning, Seth gave himself up to the avalanche of sensations crashing through his system. His lover’s hands on him, the other man’s cock squeezed against his own, the smooth flesh rubbing together. Nothing could beat it. Although, the way Adalric took control of his mouth came in at a close second.
Thrusting hard into the other man’s fist, Seth felt his balls pull tight. Ripping his mouth away, he grunted heavily. “God that’s good. Fuck, yeah, just like that.” Damn, he’d never considered himself a babbler, but he just couldn’t shut up.
Fortunately, Adalric didn’t seem to mind. He nibbled his way along Seth’s jaw, nipping lightly just like Seth liked—and how the hell did he know that?—while picking up his pace, stripping their cocks, the fall of warm water just enough to ease the worst of the friction.
When he felt the nip of teeth against the fleshy section where neck met shoulder, he was done. His leaking dick exploded, his hips bucked, and his body shuddered.
“Uh-ugh!” He knocked his head against the tile wall, uncaring of the pain.
“That’s it, Seth. Let me see you come apart in my arms,” Adalric growled.
Seth forced his eyes open and grinned up at the vampire. Taking the smug look on Adalric’s face—not to mention the hard cock still pressing against his softening prick—as a challenge, Seth allowed his legs to buckle and sank to his knees. Adalric’s brows shot up, but he let him go.
Resting his hands on his lover’s slender hips, Seth peered up the length of the vampire’s toned body. He liked the pleased smile curving Adalric’s thin lips, so he lowered his gaze to the vampire’s gleaming cock.
Seth opened his mouth, then glanced up. “Uh, Bobby said paranormals can’t give or get anything, right?”
Adalric cupped the back of Seth’s head and grinned. “That’s correct,” he growled. He urged him forward with a loose grip. “Show me what ya got.”
; Seth didn’t disappoint. He gripped the man’s thick shaft and quickly sucked down the head. He massaged the sensitive, wrinkled flesh beneath the cap and traced the pulsing vein running the length of the underside, then flicked his tongue into the leaking slit, scooping up Adalric’s pre-cum. All the while, he sucked strongly each time Adalric pulled his hips back and rhythmically squeezed the base of the vampire’s cock with his hand.
“Seth,” Adalric growled in warning.
Grinning obscenely around his mouthful of meat, he stared up at Adalric through his wet lashes. He sucked, hard. Adalric’s eyes widened in pleasure, and maybe a little shock, then cried out hoarsely as his dick thickened and jerked, emptying thick spurts of cum into Seth’s mouth. He swallowed it down and continued to work Adalric’s slowly softening prick until the vampire pulled away, grabbed his shoulders, and hauled him to his feet.
For several seconds, Adalric devoured his mouth, licking the remains of his cum from Seth’s mouth, before he slowly gentled the kiss. As Seth leaned his head against the wall to catch his breath, for a split second, he thought he caught a flash of red in Adalric’s eyes, but then it was gone just as fast.
Adalric stepped back, picked up the washcloth, and, while soaping it, grinned at him. “Now, that is a good morning.” He winked. “How about I finish what I interrupted?”
Seth nodded dumbly, shocked that Adalric—a coven leader—would stoop to washing him, but wash him he did. The vampire soaped up a cloth and scrubbed him down with slow, caressing strokes. For some reason, Seth felt…treasured.
Finally, Adalric pecked a quick butterfly kiss to Seth’s temple, turned off the water, and led him out of the shower. Adalric handed him a towel. Seth took it swiftly and quickly wrapped it around him. After the amazing hand job, then sucking the vampire off, followed by the sweet washing, Seth wasn’t certain what to feel.
While the vampire returned to the shower for his own clean-up, Seth made quick work of drying himself off, shaving, and brushing his teeth. He managed to grab his clothes and head out before Adalric had even stepped back out of the shower. It was a bit of a struggle to get his underwear and cargo shorts over his still damp ass, but he felt grateful that at least he wasn’t trying to pull on jeans.
