Finding His Wolf

by Skye R. Richmond

  When Caden finally had his briefs off, Sparrow couldn’t hold back his moan and Caden had to admit both he and his wolf preened at their mate finding their body so appealing. More than appealing, if the scent of slick and the way Sparrow pressed on his dick trying to tamp down his arousal, was anything to go by.

  Caden laughed when he saw Sparrow’s gaze was completely focused on Caden’s cock. His very hard, very aroused, cock that was now leaking precum.

  Caden stretched and let his shift take over, allowing his wolf to come forth. Everything turned black and white, and he saw his mate get off the bed.

  Sparrow tentatively walked towards him. Caden knew what Sparrow was seeing, a bigger than average blond wolf. Caden was large, even for a shifter, though not as big as Hunter, but he was no slouch either.

  “So pretty,” Sparrow said as he reached out his hand to pat Caden on his head. “My pretty wolf,” Sparrow crooned, and Caden made a sound that as a wolf came out as a moan.

  He shifted back quickly and grabbed his mate, pressing his arousal against Sparrow’s body. Caden used a finger to lift Sparrow’s face to meet his. “You think my wolf is pretty?”

  “I think he’s beautiful,” Sparrow replied, smiling shyly.

  “Well, he likes you too,” Caden replied.

  Sparrow leaned over and almost cautiously pressed his soft lips to Caden’s. Caden groaned and wrapped his hand around Sparrow’s waist, drawing him even closer, while he deepened the kiss.

  Sparrow parted his lips, and tentatively thrust his tongue towards Caden’s. Caden was enjoying having his mate make the moves. He wanted their partnership, their mating, to be equal, and if that meant his mate led sometimes, then that was fine with him.

  Sparrow got braver and licked along the inside of Caden’s mouth while holding on to Caden’s waist like it was the only thing keeping him up.

  Caden could feel Sparrow’s stiff cock pushing into his leg as his mate lost himself in the kiss. Caden moaned and moved them to the bed placing his body over Sparrow’s but making sure to be careful in placing his weight.

  Sparrow was lost in the kiss and kept trying to grind their erections together, but his jeans were in the way. The friction of Sparrow’s jeans on Caden’s sensitive cock was driving him crazy too.

  Caden broke their kiss and lifted himself up to help Sparrow out of his clothes. He unbuttoned Sparrow’s jeans and pulled them down as Sparrow lifted his hips to help get them off. Caden looked at his smaller mate and couldn’t help but appreciate his smoothness. Even though Sparrow was small, he was compact with nice muscle tone, and Caden couldn’t wait to taste every inch.

  Caden quickly got rid of the tiny briefs his mate was wearing and his t-shirt too, before settling himself back against Sparrow, skin to skin.

  Sparrow ran his small hands down Caden’s body, then moved to his chest and brushed his hand across Caden’s nipples, making him gasp and moan in pleasure. It was like there was a straight line connecting his nipple to his cock.

  “Oh, you like that?” Sparrow asked as he broke their kiss and nuzzled Caden’s neck, as though he knew that was where his claiming bite would go.

  “You have no idea, sweetheart,” Caden replied, his voice husky with arousal.

  “Are you going to claim me tonight?” Sparrow asked.

  Caden leaned back to make sure he could look into his mate’s eyes. “Do you want me to claim you tonight?” Caden asked, trying to control his wolf, because the moment Sparrow asked, his wolf had gone crazy.

  “Yes,” Sparrow said, not breaking eye contact. “I want you to claim me. I want to be yours.”

  That was all it took, Caden gently used his finger to trace along the curve of Sparrow’s jaw, and smiled down at him, because Sparrow might not understand the significance, but he’d just made Caden the happiest man on Earth. He couldn’t thank the gods enough for the perfection that was his mate.

  Caden’s eyes roamed hungrily over Sparrow’s body taking in every inch of the perfection that was his mate, every dip, every freckle, every inch of his lithe muscular body.

  He leaned over and kissed his mate on the lips before moving down his body. He kissed his way down Sparrow’s neck focusing on the spot where his mating mark would go. He inhaled the arousing scent of caramel and cinnamon, before moving down to explore Sparrow’s body with his mouth.

  He sucked the small pink nipple on his mate’s chest, before biting down, and then kissing the pain away as Sparrow moaned. Caden kissed his way across Sparrow’s chest to the other nipple, giving it the same attention, before continuing his path down his mate's body, nipping and tasting as he went. Caden kissed his mate's swollen abdomen and said hello to their child. When he met Sparrow’s gaze again, he could see the emotion put there by that moment.

  Caden smiled at his mate before going back to kissing his way down his body, following the sparse treasure trail that lead down to Sparrow’s very erect cock. Caden decided to torture his mate a little, so he kissed the crease between his hip and thigh, nipping lightly before blowing on it to soothe it, making his mate gasp and squirm.

  “Caden, please,” Sparrow whimpered. “I need more.”

  Caden could smell how much his mate needed. The scent of his arousal was thick in the room. He looked at the slick leaking out of Sparrow’s hole, and his mouth watered at the thought of getting a taste.

  Caden blew against Sparrow’s hole, making his mate gasp and cry out. He finally decided to put Sparrow out of his misery and licked his hole, lapping up his mate’s slick that tasted so fucking good.

  Sparrow couldn’t help himself, he reached out and wrapped his hand around his hard, leaking cock. Caden licked and sucked on his mate’s hole, loosening it further. He kissed his way down and sucked first one ball into his mouth and then the other, making Sparrow gasp.

  “Fuck, Caden,” Sparrow moaned loudly.

  Caden released Sparrow’s balls with a pop before making his way back up to his cock. He removed Sparrow’s hands and ran his tongue from root to tip, before sucking Sparrow’s cock all the way to the back of his throat. He bobbed his head up and down and hollowed out his cheeks, never taking his eyes off his mate’s lust-drunk expression.

  Caden swirled his tongue around the head of Sparrow’s cock, before licking up the precum gathered at the slit, making sure to savor the taste on his tongue.

  He loved hearing the whimpering sounds his mate was making as he tasted him. Caden knew he would want the taste of Sparrow daily, for the rest of his life. He licked his way back down to Sparrow’s hole that was still leaking. Caden tasted the slick there and moaned as the flavor hit his taste buds again. He licked and sucked at Sparrow’s rim relaxing the muscle with his tongue, making his mate lift off the bed when Caden finally breached Sparrow’s hole with his tongue.

  Caden used his free hand to grab Sparrow’s cock and tugged on it a few times. He didn’t have to wait long before Sparrow screamed his name, “Cadddennnnnn!” His eyes were squeezed tightly shut and his face was contorted in pleasure as he came. Not wanting to waste a drop of his mate's cum, Caden moved up Sparrow’s body and licked away every drop.

  While Sparrow was still blissed out from his orgasm, Caden lined his cock up with Sparrow’s hole, and leaned over to place a soft kiss on his lips. “I’m going to make you mine now. Are you ready?” Caden asked.

  Sparrow opened his eyes and met Caden’s gaze before nodding. “Yes, alpha. I want to be yours,” he panted, still recovering from his last orgasm.

  With those words from Sparrow, Caden pushed into his channel in one slick thrust, gliding in smoothly until he was fully seated, his balls against his mate’s ass. He held himself still for a moment, giving Sparrow a moment to adjust.

  Sparrow wrapped his legs around Caden’s waist, pulling him in farther, if that was even possible. Caden slowly began to thrust in and out, increasing the speed of his pulsing, until he was driving hard into his mate.

  “I’m not going to last,” Caden moaned. He could a
lready feel his knot forming. “Fuck, fuck,” he growled as his knot expanded for the first time in his life for his fated mate. It filled Sparrow’s hole until the knot was too big for Caden to pull out.

  Caden made sure to rub against Sparrow’s prostate, until his mate was a whimpering mess, begging to come. Caden used his free hand to wrap around Sparrow’s cock, and only had to tug once before his mate came again, his ass tightening around Caden’s cock, strangling it until he began to come deep inside his mate.

  “You have to bite me,” Caden growled, barely recognizing his voice. He lined his teeth up over Sparrow’s scent gland and bit down, his mate following his lead. Caden knew there was wolf in Sparrow because his teeth broke flesh, sealing their bond.

  In that moment, Caden felt like a part of his soul left his body to be replaced by a part of Sparrow’s and vice versa. He could feel how his mate felt, his growing love for Caden, his feeling of hope that he’d finally found his forever home.

  Caden removed his teeth from Sparrow’s neck and licked over the bite, and Sparrow followed his lead again.

  Turning his face, Caden sought out Sparrow’s lips for a kiss. When Caden broke the kiss, he rolled them over, not wanting to put his heavier weight on his mate. They were locked together until his knot went down, however long that took.

  Sparrow made himself comfortable, resting his head on Caden’s chest. Sparrow was silent for a moment, before meeting his gaze. “How did I bite you, I shouldn’t be able to do that?” he asked in a surprised tone.

  Caden kissed his mate’s nose. “Well, that’s a long story, but it seems mate, that you have a little wolf in you, too.”

  Sparrow sat up, pulling on Caden’s knot, making him gasp. “Careful there, we don’t want to hurt anything we will need later.” Sparrow giggled and apologized.

  “You were saying I have a little wolf in me?” Sparrow asked.

  “Yes, if I had to guess I’d say one of your parents was part wolf,” Caden replied.

  “I never knew my parents,” Sparrow whispered sadly.

  “I know, baby, that’s probably why you’ve never shifted,” Caden replied, running his hands up and down Sparrow’s back soothingly.

  “Does that mean I can turn into a wolf?” Sparrow asked, a hint of excitement creeping into his voice.

  “You should be able to,” Caden replied. “But we will have to wait until our little one is here. Don’t want you trying your first shift while pregnant.”

  Sparrow nodded, burrowing deeper into Caden’s chest like he was trying to get under the man’s skin.

  Caden debated whether or not he should say this, but he didn’t want to keep anything from his mate, so he went for it, “My brother thought about tracking down what pack you came from.” Sparrow lifted his head again to meet Caden’s gaze, so Caden hurried up to add, “You don’t have to meet them, but he wants to know why a wolf pup ended up in the human foster care system, baby.”

  “Is that rare?” Sparrow asked, scrunching up his nose in a way that shouldn’t be cute, but Caden thought it was.

  “Very. Even though a cub is not wanted by the birth parent, the pack would take it in and place it with someone who wanted him or her.”

  “Oh,” Sparrow said, and Caden read his tone.

  “Are you mad at me? If you are, I can get Hunter to stop the search this minute,” Caden said.

  Sparrow was silent for a moment. “No, I always wanted to know where I came from. I guess I’ll find out. And I trust you. I trust that you will never do anything to hurt me,” Sparrow said looking straight into Caden’s eyes.

  “I swear on my life, I would rather die than see you hurt. I know it seems like it may be too soon, but I love you, Sparrow. You and our pup, and however many pups we are blessed with in the future, are my life. And I’ll protect you and them until my last breath. You are the god’s gift to me, even though I don’t deserve you. I promise I will do everything in my power to make you happy and keep you safe,” Caden breathed. “I will never ever intentionally break your trust, Sparrow. You’re everything to me.”

  Sparrow blinked like he was trying to hold back tears, but it looked like it was a losing battle. “No one has ever made me feel the way you do, safe, loved, cherished. I know it shouldn’t be possible, but I love you too, Caden, and I’ll never let you go,” Sparrow said in a defiant tone.

  “Promise?” Caden said.

  “Promise,” Sparrow repeated.

  Caden couldn’t wait for the rest of their lives, but here and now nothing could compare to his mate in his arms.
