The Alpha wouldn’t hurt him, right?
Axel sniffed at his neck. Despite being trapped, Conner couldn’t help himself. The Alpha’s sweat-slicked skin felt amazing against him. All this rough handling was all turning him on, although it shouldn’t…right?
“I can smell your need, Conner.”
“Kiss me,” Conner blurted out loud.
“Do you make demands of every Alpha you meet, little human?” Axel, at least, didn’t sound angry, simply amused.
“I don’t meet a lot of Alphas. There’s only one I’m interested in. You.”
That seemed like the correct answer Axel had been waiting for. The Alpha took his lips, all demand and heat. Their tongues and teeth clashed. Conner let Axel’s tongue in. Axel’s mouth descending on his had been enough to turn the small fire in him into an unstoppable inferno.
Conner moved his hand down Axel’s torso, going for the Alpha’s belt buckle. Releasing his mouth, Axel grabbed Conner’s wandering hand.
“What’s the rush, little human?”
“I want to see you.” Conner insisted.
“Me or my dick?” Axel asked.
Conner let out a breath. “This isn’t a joke to me. I’m giving it my all if I’m only going to get one night with you.”
“Whoever said it can only be one night? When shifters find the one man they’ve been searching for all their lives, they don’t think in terms of a day.”
Conner swallowed, unsure where this was going. Hope was dangerous. Expect too much and he ought to steady himself for some serious hurt and previous experience dealing with loss taught Conner he wasn’t strong. When he fell down, it took him awhile to get back up again.
“Educate me then,” Conner said, feeling daring, unlike himself. In the bedroom, he always knew he was the submissive half. He always got a thrill out of taking commands from a powerful dominant male worthy of him.
“You’ll soon learn, little human, who leads here.” Axel worked the button of his jeans free and unzipped them. One yank and his boxers were down and Axel’s hand was on his dick. The Alpha began pumping him up and down between one breath and the next. Conner hardly recovered from the shock. And then only pleasure filled his mind—Axel’s strong but sure hands working him.
“So good,” he murmured.
Unabashed, he began to thrust into Axel’s waiting hand. It did occur to Conner that Axel was giving him a handjob, pressed against the glass. But this high-up—they were what, forty floors up, who would see them? Besides, being this exposed heightened every sensation in his body.
“I want to see you come for me, little human. Beg me for my cock.”
“Are you always this demanding?” Conner met yellow eyes filled with nothing but animal lust and all that intensity was solely directed at him.
The facts didn’t escape him.
Axel was a werelion Alpha and a rock star god.
Conner was simply just a human guy, in for the luckiest night of his life.
Axel Banner was a predator, but Conner deduced he didn’t mind being eaten up by the Alpha. If Axel was on a prowl, then he wanted to be caught.
“Shh, pet.” Axel pulled their lips together again, not stopping his hand job. That made it worse. Blood surged to his dick. When Axel withdrew his mouth, Conner was whimpering for more. “Don’t come yet.”
“Why?”
“I want to see how long you’d last.”
Conner let out a nervous laugh. “A rock star is pumping my dick. I’m not going to last.”
“Try for me.” Axel persuaded.
“Or what?”
Conner shivered at Axel’s knowing look, accompanied by a smile.
“My, what big fangs you have, Mr. Lion,” Conner whispered.
Axel frowned. “You’re still capable of talking. That means I’m not doing my job.” Axel pushed his free hand down the curve of his back, finally slipping down the hem of his jeans. Conner began to clench his ass, but Axel parted them, pushing a finger between his ass cheeks to reach his puckered hole.
“Spread, pet.”
Axel Banner delivering commands…this must be the best night of his entire life.
Conner spread his thighs a little further, moaning when Axel began rubbing at his hole but not pushing in. It wasn’t long now before he would erupt. Conner didn’t like Axel’s mysterious grin though. Would the rock star punish him for coming without permission?
“Please, Alpha. I’m going to shoot.”
“Go ahead. All over my fingers now.”
At those words, Conner shot his load, cum spilling over Axel’s hand. Some spilled on the Alpha’s abs. Conner still swam in the sea of bliss, eyes shut, balls emptied. What an experience and Axel had only given him a hand job. The Alpha took a step back, seemingly enjoying the sight of him.
Conner’s gaze slipped to the bulge in Axel’s jeans. “You’re still wearing jeans, Alpha. And I haven’t tended to your cock.”
“If you want my dick, come get it, pet.”
Conner fell soundlessly to his knees. Above him, Axel licked at his hand, still wet with Conner’s cum. The sight of Axel lapping at his seed like some predatory hungry cat made him groan. So erotic.
“I’m waiting, pet. You’re not moving.”
Conner unbuckled Axel’s belt, fingers trembling with anticipation. Hell, his entire body seemed to shake off the post orgasm bliss and come alive again. Even his dick was ready for more action. Conner unbuttoned Axel’s pants and unzipped it. Underneath, the Alpha wore no underwear. Conner pulled out the largest cock he’d ever seen.
He stared for a couple of seconds, unable to help himself. “You’re so big.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment. Are you telling me you’re scared now, pet?”
That sounded like a challenge.
“No way in hell. I can’t wait to start.”
Conner leaned forward, tongue lashing out to lick away the pre-cum on Axel’s tip. He could feel the Alpha spearing his fingers into his hair. That felt right too. A need to explore filled Conner.
After all, one chance was all he got, right? What more can a guy ask for?
He licked Axel’s cock head with relish, taking time to swirl his tongue under the head. Moving downwards, he traced the veins of Axel’s hard dick. Reaching Axel’s balls, Conner took them in his mouth, sucking all the while Axel hummed above him in pleasure. Good. He was doing his job.
The Alpha gave an insistent tug.
“Take me in our mouth now, pet.”
Opening his mouth wider, Conner took the dive. Despite taking an inch at a time, he gagged at the size of the Alpha. Axel guided Conner’s mouth out. Taking a deep breath, Conner tired again. Third time was the charm. Eventually, Axel’s tip hit the back of his throat. Conner would have smiled if he could.
Tightening his grip on Conner’s hair, the Alpha said, “I’m taking over, pet.”
Conner remained still, keeping his jaws opened so Axel could thrust in and out of his mouth. He imagined what it would feel like when Axel finally pushed that fat cock into his hole. Conner couldn’t wait for the Alpha to claim his body.
It didn’t take long before Axel hammered into his waiting mouth one last time before spilling his seed. Sucking hard, Conner took every drop of Axel’s spunk. Some droplets were left on his chin, but Axel thumbed them away.
“Good job, baby.”
Baby. Conner startled at the compliment. Inside, he glowed. Axel offered him a hand, which Conner took. He let the Alpha help him to his feet.
“Let’s continue this in the bedroom.” Axel led him into a corridor and finally turned to open a door leading to what Conner assumed was the master bedroom. A king-sized bed took center stage. “Take off your clothes.”
“Now we’re talking,” Conner said, unable to hide the eagerness in his voice.

When Conner asked him to clarify what he meant by shifters didn’t think in terms of a day, Axel told the human to come find out. During the drive, Axel
made a decision. Their encounter that morning in the cemetery had been a huge wake-up call. Even Jay and Grey were surprised he requested changing their set list to include that song. They knew what that piece meant to him. While they had a dozen questions for him, Axel couldn’t answer them yet.
He doubted himself, until Ascendance came on stage and started to play. For the first time in a long while, Axel felt alive, able to feel every fan before them, thrumming with energy. By a stroke of luck, he found Conner in the crowd. Supernatural vision withstanding, it was more like Axel’s lion recognized the human. Without realizing it, Axel had imprinted his scent on the human.
Any shifter in the vicinity would know Conner was his. Why did he do that? Because he was starting to believe—no, he was certain Nathan was watching at the cemetery. His meeting with Conner wasn’t coincidence. Axel’s feelings towards the human were genuine and raw. It took an insane amount of courage to love again. Axel was finally done hiding.
Watching Conner slip out of his last fabric of clothing, Axel followed swiftly. He walked over to the cabinet by his bed and pulled out lube before returning to his waiting human. Conner could be easily embarrassed one moment and fiercely determined the next—unpredictable, and Axel could use that in his life. With the help of his bodyguards, it didn’t take long for Axel to read all the info they had on Conner Riley. All they had to do was find Conner’s employee records at the shelter.
Conner was an amazing man, certainly someone he didn’t deserve, but Axel could be selfish too. Fate dropped this sexy little man on his lap. Conner was his second chance and he wasn’t going to screw it up.
He crawled into bed, settling against the pillows, liking how tense yet excited Conner looked. Axel patted his lap. “Come, pet.”
Conner approached him and eventually straddled him, legs on either side of his legs. Axel liked this position very much. Setting the lube down, he ran his hands down Conner’s slender sides.
“Relax, baby. I’m going to feel good.”
At his soothing voice, the human leaned against him, all the tension in Conner’s body disappearing. Good. Axel wanted him to remember their first time. Conner wrapped his arms around his shoulders, looking uncertain.
“Having second thoughts?” Axel had to ask. He never took the unwilling.
“No. It’s not that.” Conner chewed on his bottom lip. Axel was tempted to kiss him again, but decided to wait for Conner to answer.
He stroked Conner’s back until the muscles there unknotted.
“Talk to me, pet. I value honesty.”
“I’m scared of disappointing you,” Conner whispered, cheeks flushing. “I mean, I haven’t been with another man since…”
Conner trailed off. The human didn’t need to continue. Axel understood. After Nathan died, he resorted to occasional hook-ups over the years. None of the encounters satisfied him, but he needed them. Being lonely hurt too much, so he endured the numbness he felt after. Axel finally realized it was Conner who he’d been waiting for all his life. This human could finally fill the missing holes in him that Nathan’s passing left behind.
“I know. Also know you’re never going to fucking disappoint me.”
Axel put his hand on the back of Conner’s neck and plundered the tasty human’s lips. Conner responded against him, seemingly losing his initial shyness. The human even had the gall to rub his needy little prick against Axel’s abs. Ending the kiss, Axel grinned. “So hard for me so soon, pet?”
Conner pouted. “I can’t help myself. You’re so damn hot.”
“I can say the same for you.”
Conner vehemently shook his head. “It’s okay. You don’t need to lie.”
Axel let out soft growl. “I never lie.”
To prove his words, Axel planted kisses down the side of Conner’s neck. He licked at Conner’s hammering pulse. Right there, between shoulder and neck, he would place his mating mark on this feisty, amazing human and claim him for real. Axel took one of Conner’s nipples into his mouth and began to suck. Conner cried out as he left a small bite there. Moving onto the next one, Axel gave Conner’s nipple the same attention.
Fuck, but this was driving him mad. Seeing Conner come apart earlier did wonders for his dick. Axel needed to sink his cock into Conner’s tight little ass soon. His hand moved to Conner’s dick and gave it a squeeze. Conner gave a startled cry.
“Do you wan to come again, pet?”
“Oh God, yes.”
“Not yet, baby. I need to take care of my own need.”
Conner’s gaze moved to his dick. The human’s eyes shone with the need to please. “Fuck me, please.”
Axel chuckled. “So crude.”
“I need you in me.”
“Good answer.” Axel flipped Conner on his hands and knees. Reaching for the lube, he pushed Conner’s legs slightly further apart to expose Conner’s pink rosette.
“Tell me, pet. How many men have been inside you?” Axel asked conversationally, while lubing his fingers.
“I—” Conner moaned when Axel worked more lube inside his ass. Pushing in a finger in Axel added a second. He curled, brushing against Conner’s gland, because the human’s back arched like a cat. Conner gasped. “One more time, please?”
Axel couldn’t say no to that, he did it again just to hear Conner’s mewl. “You haven’t answered my question, pet,” Axel reminded his human mate.
Mate. That was the word he’d been looking for and had been so terrified of using. Shifters mated for life. When one half died, the other lived the rest of his life in misery. That was what Axel used to think, but no longer. Refusing a prize like Conner would make him a fool. Besides, he knew Nathan. Nathan would have wanted him to move on and not live the rest of his life in misery.
“One guy,” Conner replied, sounding out of breath.
His mate didn’t know how much pleasure that answer gave him.
“Good. Remember this, pet. After tonight, I’ll be the only man allowed to own this gorgeous body of yours.”
“W-what?”
Axel placed himself behind Conner. Pushing Conner’s ass cheeks aside, Axel positioned his tip into Conner’s entrance. The human tensed.
“Relax, baby. I’m not going to hurt you.”
“I know. I’m just nervous.”
“I’m going to take this slow.” After Conner relaxed for him, Axel guided his dick in. He could hear Conner gritting his teeth, but once the ridge of his cock passed Conner’s tight ring of muscles, the human relaxed his inner muscles around his shaft. Gripping Conner’s thighs, Axel pushed all the way in, sheathing himself completely inside Conner.
“God. You’re so big,” Conner murmured.
Axel reached between Conner’s legs and began stroking his cock. Conner sighed. He remained inside Conner for awhile, shifting his hips a little. “I’m going to move now, baby.”
“Okay.”
Axel pulled back, and hammered his way back in. His thrusts began slowly. Gauging Conner’s reactions, Axel settled on a steady rhythm. He began pumping in and out of his mate with sure strokes.
“Faster, please.” Conner begged.
He pumped in and out, picking up his speed. Each time he entered Conner, Axel went deeper, breaching Conner’s most intimate places. And every time their bodies met and connected, Axel could sense his lion doing the same, reaching out for Conner’s soul and life force.
“More, Alpha.”
Axel grinned. Could the human keep up with a werelion Alpha’s stamina? He complied, reducing them both to pants and animal cries. Axel hoped Conner knew one round wouldn’t satiate him. Judging by Conner’s eager moans, the human was up for anything. Shifting the angle of his thrust, Axel must have brushed against Conner’s gland again. The human gasped. Axel repeated the motion, resuming stroking Conner’s cock as well.
The dual sensation would push into Conner into coming soon, he gauged. Axel wasn’t too far from it either. Tightening his grip on Conner’s ass, Axel hit Conner’s sweet spot
again.
“Please,” Conner whispered. “I’m going to explode.”
“Come for me, pet.”
Axel gave Conner’s balls a squeeze. That triggered Conner’s climax. The human arched his back and screamed out Axel’s name, shooting his load. The sound of his name on Conner’s lips ignited his own orgasm. Axel pumped into Conner several more times, before emptying his balls inside Conner’s ass. He came, hard and fast, head reeling as he pressure building inside him broke open.
