“Kiss wherever you want.” That statement earned Gedeon a nod of acknowledgment. Then Gavrael raised straight up on his knees and moved to straddle Gedeon’s prone body. He sat down on his haunches, and Gedeon’s eyes fell closed as he absorbed the feel of Gavrael’s body on his own. When Gavrael leaned over to lay a kiss on his collarbone, Gedeon felt Gavrael’s stomach graze his stiff cock through his clothing, and the moan that escaped his body was the loudest one yet.
It seemed like hour after hour passed as Gavrael’s mouth kissed every bit of exposed skin he could reach. His hands were not idle, and Gedeon felt them roaming his skin. His back arched as he tried to get closer to that hot mouth and those clever hands. With Gavrael straddling his body, sometimes Gavrael’s hard dick grazed his own, and it was absolute torture not to demand they do something about their very eager cocks.
Gedeon tried to touch his mate as best he could, but it was difficult to keep ahold of him as he moved from one random spot to another in a pattern only Gavrael seemed to comprehend. When he could no longer stand it, he reached up and grabbed the back of Gavrael’s neck to take that hot mouth of his.
Gavrael eagerly returned the kiss before raising his head to ask another one of those questions of his. “May I remove the remainder of your clothing?”
“My answer is the same as the last time. You can remove mine only if I get to remove yours.” This time Gedeon was not going to go second; he grabbed Gavrael’s belt and began unbuckling the damn thing so he could get out his mate’s goodies. Obliging him, Gavrael left his position of being straddled over Gedeon so he could get his clothes off. It was Gavrael that pushed his own pants and underwear down as soon as Gedeon finished unzipping him. In a move that seemed to defy Gedeon’s ability to follow, Gavrael’s clothing was on the floor and his mate was naked in front of him for the first time.
If Gedeon was pleased with his mate’s ivory chest and stomach, he was overjoyed at the dark red skin of Gavrael’s engorged cock. It was thick and veiny and curved up near Gavrael’s taut stomach. Without realizing he intended to do it, Gedeon reached out and wrapped his hand around his mate’s erection. Gavrael sucked in a shocked breath, and he kneeled next to where Gedeon was still lying on the bed in his pants. The skin of Gavrael’s hard penis was soft, and Gedeon could not stop himself from giving it a couple of strokes. He would have been more than happy to continue, but Gavrael grabbed his wrist to stop his hand. Gedeon met Gavrael’s eyes as his mate held his arm.
“You are still clothed,” Gavrael informed him as if Gedeon did not already know it. Gedeon smiled and reluctantly let go of Gavrael’s dick so he could divulge himself of his remaining clothes. Assisting his mate, Gedeon lifted his hips so Gavrael could remove his jeans and briefs after Gavrael had gotten him unzipped.
If Gedeon was hoping the sight of him naked would speed his mate up from his apparent desire to map out all of his reachable parts, he was doomed to disappointment. Gavrael resumed running both his fingers and mouth over Gedeon’s overheated skin. He began at the tops of his feet and slowly moved up his legs. Gedeon was ready to hump the fucking air by the time Gavrael was straddling his body again and dragging his open mouth up Gedeon’s thighs.
“Gavrael, please. I need to come,” Gedeon pleaded. Gavrael lifted his head from where he was kissing his hip. His eyes met Gedeon’s briefly before he wrapped his lips right over the head of Gedeon’s cock. Gedeon’s hips arched up, and he threw his head back onto the pillow beneath his head. Without a doubt, it was clear to Gedeon his own hand would no longer be adequate to bring him any pleasure. Not when compared to Gavrael’s mouth. His mate’s strong hands were soon holding Gedeon’s hips to the mattress as Gavrael bobbed his head over Gedeon’s aching cock. As much as Gedeon wanted to memorize the feel of every flick of Gavrael’s tongue and the silky pleasure of his wet mouth coasting over his length, Gavrael had brought him too close to the edge with his long foreplay of hands and mouth.
Before Gedeon was ready, his body was crashing into the most amazing orgasm of his sexually inexperienced life. He would have liked to have given his mate some warning as to his body’s intentions, but he didn’t get the chance. Soon he was shooting his load into Gavrael’s eager-to-please mouth. When the torrent had passed, Gedeon felt Gavrael’s mouth still caressing his already trying-to-get-hard-again dick. Before it became too sensitive, Gavrael eased his mouth away and started laying more little kisses across his left hip.
“Gavrael,” he croaked out.
“Yes?” his mate asked in between more kisses.
“It’s your turn. Do you want me to suck your cock?” Gedeon would be more than happy to give Gavrael the same pleasure he had just given him.
“No.”
“No? Gav, you need to come too.”
“Gav. I like that.”
“Good, now tell me what you want,” Gedeon demanded. There was no way this was going to be a one-sided deal. He knew his mate hadn’t come yet; he could feel the wet tip of his cock hit his leg as Gavrael continued to memorize Gedeon’s body with his mouth. Although he had just come, Gedeon’s dick was already taking an active interest in Gavrael’s continued assault.
“Do you have any lubricant?” Oh, fucking hell, Gedeon thought gleefully; his mate wanted to fuck him. Or so he hoped.
“Yes. Are you going to fuck me, Gav?”
Gavrael once again raised his head to meet Gedeon’s steady gaze, “I would like to.”
That was all Gedeon needed to hear; he rolled onto his side and whipped open the drawer of his nightstand to grab the bottle of lube he had stored in there. Grasping the bottle, he tossed it at his mate who caught it one-handed and pushed Gedeon back down onto the bed. Eagerly Gedeon pulled his legs up and allowed his mate full access to the place he so desperately wanted Gavrael buried in. It seemed the other sentinel was just as eager; he wasted no time in squirting lube onto his fingers.
Seconds later Gedeon felt those slippery fingertips tracing around the entrance of his hole. Not surprisingly, Gavrael’s touches were not rushed, and Gedeon soon felt the blood fill his penis until he was once again hard. He had not experienced his dick roaring back to life so fast before after coming, but he’d never encountered anything at all like his patient mate touching him until Gedeon was practically insane with wanting before either.
The light stroking of his anus soon gave way to the entry of one finger into his most private place. Gedeon had used his own fingers inside himself before, so the sensation was not foreign. It had not taken Gedeon long to figure out that using his fingers inside his own ass contributed to a better orgasm, so he had not used his own ass sparingly.
Gavrael watched Gedeon’s face carefully as he began pumping that solitary finger in and out of Gedeon’s entrance. Allowing all the desire he felt at his mate’s touch fill his eyes, Gedeon did what he could to reassure Gavrael he was enjoying every touch inside him. It seemed Gavrael was quick to catch on because he soon removed his finger to press two slick fingers into Gedeon’s hole.
Gedeon reached down and grabbed his legs to pull them closer to his body to spread himself wider for Gavrael’s assault. Two fingers soon became three, and Gavrael cleverly sought out Gedeon’s prostate, which caused Gedeon’s dick to begin leaking copiously onto his stomach. Gedeon had no idea if all that moaning was coming from his own mouth because he was lost to the overwhelming pleasure Gavrael was forcing on him.
Those questing fingers could probably have caused Gedeon’s dick to come again, but Gavrael removed them, and Gedeon felt bereft at the loss. He opened his eyes to the incredible sight of Gavrael sliding his hand down his own length as he slicked himself up. It was nearly enough to finish him off. Gavrael was quick about it and moved into position between his legs. Gavrael used his fingers to smear extra lube around Gedeon’s hole.
Pushing Gedeon’s hands away, Gavrael pulled him forward by his hips until his ass was resting on the other sentinel’s thighs. Reaching between them, Gavrael used his hand to guide his cock
toward Gedeon’s entrance. The head of his dick slowly but surely slid inside Gedeon, and when it finally popped through the initial barrier, Gavrael looked up at him.
“Are you all right?”
“You feel incredible inside me. Keep going,” Gedeon assured his mate. Gavrael obliged him immediately and resumed pushing inside him. It felt different having Gavrael’s dick sliding into him than using his own two fingers. His cock was decidedly thicker, and he was unprepared for the heat of it. As Gedeon’s body stretched to accommodate Gavrael’s cock, he felt a slight burn, but it was absolutely nothing compared to the pleasure of it all. As it had been the entire evening, this joining would not be rushed by Gavrael, but all too soon he was balls deep inside of Gedeon.
“Gav, fuck me. Please,” Gedeon begged when it seemed as if his mate was going to sit there inside of him forever. The words spurred his mate into action, and Gavrael was soon thrusting in and out of Gedeon’s ass in long, unhurried strokes. It was too much for Gedeon’s overburdened body to bear, so he grabbed his own cock and began pumping his hand over it urgently. But as Gavrael had done that one and only time he had walked in on Gedeon pleasuring himself, he knocked Gedeon’s hand away and took up the task of getting him off. If he had gone slowly, Gedeon would have likely reached back into that bedside table and grabbed his dagger to cut into his mate, but Gavrael’s stroke was all business.
Soon the glide of Gavrael’s dick inside him picked up the pace to match Gavrael’s hand. Gedeon felt a bright tingle down his spine as he roared out his release. Hot spunk splashed onto his chest as his body gave up the fight. As soon as a second streak of come landed on his stomach, Gavrael released Gedeon’s dick and grabbed both his hips in a hard, near-bruising grip. Gavrael’s hips slammed into Gedeon’s ass, and Gedeon felt a warm splash deep inside him. Gedeon watched as Gavrael’s body bowed, his head thrown back in abandon as his orgasm overcame him. It was the most delicious thing Gedeon had ever witnessed, and he vowed to himself to see it very often in the future. Gavrael rocked his hips against Gedeon a few times before letting out a deep breath then leaned over Gedeon’s body to bring their mouths together.
“Thank you,” his mate said to him as their lips met again. “I believe I enjoyed that even more than training.”
Gedeon barked out a laugh and met Gavrael’s eyes. The smile he was already wearing grew brighter when he realized his mate was wearing a similar expression. It was the first time Gedeon had ever seen Gavrael’s smile. The expression transformed his normally serious face into something beyond gorgeous. Gedeon was certain words would need to be invented to give that smile its due. Unable to help himself, Gedeon reached up and traced his fingers around Gavrael’s lips.
“No, Gav. Thank you,” was the only reply he could give as joy bubbled through his veins. No doubt this night had been well worth the wait of all that had led them here. He looked forward to many similar nights in the future. There was nothing that was going to keep Gedeon from being at Gavrael’s side from here on out.
Chapter 14
Gavrael awoke the next morning on the very edge of the mattress. Although it was the first time they had slept together, he had woken up in a room with him many times. Each and every day, Gedeon seemed to sprawl himself across as much of the bed as possible. His arms and legs stretched across the enormous surface, giving Gavrael very little of it to enjoy. If this was the worst thing his mate would make him endure, Gavrael was content to cling to the last few inches of space allotted to him and still wake up a happy man.
Though Gavrael made no attempt to move, Gedeon began to stir beside him. When Gedeon stretched his limbs somehow further across the mattress, Gavrael had a moment’s fear he would pitch onto the floor. He was fortunate that Gedeon pulled his arms and legs back before Gavrael made contact with the hard wood beneath them. Now that there was space to do so, Gavrael rolled onto his back and found his mate smiling at him.
“Good morning,” his mate began before giving him a frown. “Why are you all the way over there?”
“Good morning. I had no choice but to lie here.”
Gedeon frowned as he rubbed an eye with his fist, “What are you talking about?”
“You gave me no choice.”
At those words, Gedeon sat straight up and pierced Gavrael with a sharp look. “Seriously, Gav, what’re you talking about?”
“You seem to need the rest of the bed. I am lucky enough to have an inch or two of space to spread out on,” Gavrael replied with a small smile.
“Holy shit. Did you just make a joke? And for the record, I do not hog the bed.” Gedeon grinned at him before looking affronted at Gavrael’s jibe.
“For the sake of not arguing with my mate, I believe it is time for me to get up and shower. Will you train with me today?”
“I would love to. I’m so excited about wearing my normal clothes again and my daggers. You wouldn’t believe how much I missed them. By the way, that day you cleaned them. Thanks for that,” Gedeon said as he gave Gavrael a soft kiss.
“You are welcome. You do not wish to remain in your new clothing?” Gavrael was surprised to hear Gedeon wanted to get back into his gray attire. He had assumed his mate was pleased with the new wardrobe he’d purchased.
“It’s not bad, though I really need to see you in a pair of jeans. But, I prefer my sentinel stuff.”
“You wish to see me in jeans?” Gedeon’s request made little sense to Gavrael, but he would do most anything to please him.
“Definitely. We can go shopping, and we’re going to find a pair that hugs that ass of yours perfectly.” The light dawned in Gavrael’s brain. He too enjoyed Gedeon’s firm butt in whatever he was wearing. Sentinel pants were a bit too roomy to give as good a view as the jeans Gedeon had been dressing in lately.
“I do enjoy how your jeans fit.”
“There you go, so you’ll get a pair, right?” There was no way for Gavrael to refuse, so he answered affirmatively.
“Awesome. Shower?” Gavrael didn’t need to bother with a verbal response; he just grabbed his mate’s hand and led him into the bathroom.
* * *
Gavrael crouched low as he watched his mate flip backward to escape him. It was obvious Gedeon’s reduced training time had done nothing to diminish his skills. Gathering shadows, Gavrael allowed his body to disappear from view. He had barely risen to his feet before he saw the other sentinel vanish. Despite the seriousness that working out demanded, Gavrael felt his lips stretch into his rarely used smile.
While he would never choose it over the activities of the night before, it was an amazing feeling to be sharing this once again with Gedeon. However, there was no time to dwell on soft thoughts or feelings, so Gavrael closed his eyes as he sought out with his other senses to locate Gedeon. The air around him began to vibrate ever so slightly as his mate moved in closer.
Eyes still shut, Gavrael kicked his left leg out straight, and his foot had barely connected with Gedeon’s hip before the other sentinel once again moved out of reach. Suddenly it was Gedeon’s foot that landed squarely in the middle of Gavrael’s backside. Gavrael relaxed and allowed his body to absorb the energy of the kick. The force of it should have had him kissing dirt, but he tucked into a ball and rolled forward on the ground instead.
Hopping back onto his feet as soon as the momentum brought him to a standstill, he whipped around and sliced his right dagger through the air. It immediately connected with Gedeon’s and the quiet of the morning was interrupted by the loud clang of metal on metal. Gavrael swung out with his left hand, but Gedeon bent gracefully backward and all he managed to hit was air.
Seconds later, Gavrael found himself with his eyes closed again trying to locate his mate to gain an advantage. They had been training for what Gavrael knew had to be hours. It was exhilarating, much like Gedeon himself. Once again, Gavrael felt himself tripping into memories of the night before. The sounds Gedeon made as he was being pleasured had mesmerized him.
Shaking his head to
try and focus on the task at hand, Gavrael felt the air ripple. Gedeon was close, and it was dangerous to allow his thoughts to wander. The thought had barely registered when Gavrael suddenly found himself with a glowing green dagger pressing against his throat. A warm body was soon plastered against his back. Gavrael was so stunned he had allowed himself to be caught that he stood there stupidly frozen. Then he all but felt the low chuckle at his ear before a soft kiss touched his lobe.
“You seem a bit distracted,” Gedeon said in a low voice before kissing him again. Fuck it, Gavrael thought before he reached a hand back and grabbed a fistful of Gedeon’s dark hair. The blade at his throat suddenly disappeared, and Gavrael angled his head back to take Gedeon’s mouth in a hard and satisfying kiss. No doubt about it, training was infinitely better together.
After a few heated moments of fucking Gedeon’s mouth with his tongue, Gavrael separated their mouths. “You are free to distract me whenever you wish.”
“Fuck me,” Gedeon demanded as Gavrael reluctantly moved away and turned around to face him.
He loved that Gedeon was simple with his demands, but there were schedules to maintain. “It is time for lunch.”
Gedeon rolled his eyes. “Okay, fuck me after you eat, then.”
“We must train after our meal.”
“Are you serious?”
“Then, it will be time for the evening meal.”
“Gavrael. Don’t make me kill you,” Gedeon replied with narrowed eyes.
Gavrael felt another smile forming. The facial expression had become difficult to keep at bay. “It is important to maintain a regular schedule.”
“You are smiling, but I don’t think you’re joking. I can’t argue with you on an empty stomach. Let’s go eat your stupid lunch.”
It was not until dinner that night that any of their family finally commented on the events of the night before. There was no doubt in Gavrael’s mind the revelation that they were mates had to be astounding to them all, but they had allowed both sentinels much of the day to enjoy being together.
