Underneath

by Maggie Walsh

  Dim lights came on around the stage and the audience got a look at the others sitting around. Bastian sat with Noah on his lap. He wore a black kilt and black T-shirt with his combat boots, while Noah wore his white fae robes and his wings spread out behind him. Taylor stood behind Jesse, wearing a grey, three-piece suit with black six inch spiked heels. Dale also stood behind Jesse, wearing a red, green, and black kilt with a red mesh top and a pair of white sneakers. Aaron and Rory sat on the opposite side of the stage. Aaron wore tight black leather pants and an electric-blue silk button down, a black collar around his neck and bare feet, while Rory wore tight black boy shorts, a studded harness around his chest, and a studded collar around his neck as he knelt at Aaron’s feet. Adam stood to the back of the stage in a tight black leather cat suit and red heels. Raffy stood on the other side dressed in a purple wrap dress and white spike heeled knee-high boots. And Lexi stood to his left, holding his hand and wearing a full length red sequined skirt with a slit up the front and a red corset covering his top and black sandals on his feet. Jesse looked at each of them and smiled, then turned back to face their audience. He closed his eyes as the first haunting notes of a piano started to play. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes. They held a sad far off look. He began to sing the haunting words of Underneath by Adam Lambert. He sang the first verse with sadness, then closed his tear-filled eyes as his voice got stronger in the chorus. He opened his eyes slowly and stared directly at Micah as he continued the second verse. Tears spilled from his eyes and ran down his cheek.

  The chorus began again and the voices of everyone on the stage joined him. When the chorus ended everyone became quiet as Jesse stood from the stool and belted out the remainder of the song with a strong, loud voice, filled with pain and tears. His voice rang out across the room and filled the empty space. Then his eyes locked with Micah’s as he softly sang the last line.

  The lights went out, leaving everyone in darkness. Micah swallowed the lump in his throat and stood clapping his hands. Dante and Raith stood with him and clapped. Each member of the audience rose to their feet and gave them a standing ovation.

  “That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed,” Christian said as he and Raffy walked into their room. Raffy’s stuff had been moved over to Christian’s suite when he was gone. When he returned, Christian took him shopping and told him he could buy whatever he wanted to make the suite theirs. Then he took him clothes shopping and told him to buy whatever he wanted that would make him happy. Christian had a blast watching his mate’s eyes light up with each purchase he made. He bought jeans and T-shirts, slacks and button-ups, and sneakers and loafers. But he also bought skirts and dresses, stockings and heels, and blouses and makeup. And when it came to the sexy undergarments, Christian picked out a lot of corsets and G-strings for him. He couldn’t wait for Raffy to model every one of them for him.

  “I was so nervous. I don’t know how Jesse gets up there in front of a room full of strangers and does that. He has such an amazing voice though, doesn’t he?” Raffy said as he sat on the edge of the bed and leaned down to take off the boots.

  Christian stilled his hands and Raffy looked up at him. Christian took his hands and pulled him up. “Leave the boots on, angel. This dress looks like a present. Unwrap my present for me slowly so I can savor every inch as it’s exposed,” Christian said in a low, husky voice.

  Raffy smiled and turned them around so Christian’s back was to the bed. He gave him a little push and Christian fell back onto the bed. He laughed as he landed. “I must say, I love this confident side of you, sweetheart. It makes you even more stunning than you already were.”

  Raffy smiled at his words and took a step back. His hands slowly went to the tie at his hip and he slowly pulled the string. The dress slid apart as the string gave and Christian got a peek at what was underneath. He looked up at Raffy’s face and met those beautiful, glacial-blue eyes, hungry and playful. Raffy moved his hands to the edges of the dress, slowly peeled them apart, slid the silk down over his shoulders, and let the dress fall to the floor behind him. Christian drew in a quick breath at the sight in front of him. He couldn’t restrain the moan that escaped him. His already thickening cock sprang to life and pressed against the zipper of his slacks. His eyes zeroed in on the pretty pink nipples that lay just above the edge of the purple corset.

  Christian’s tongue came from between his lips and slid against his bottom lip. “Undo your hair.” Christian’s voice was low and gravelly. Raffy reached a hand up and pulled the tie from his hair, allowing his beautiful, long, sandy, blond and white strands to cascade down his back. Christian’s eyes slid down to the purple corset. It was tied tight around Raffy’s waist. Raffy slid his hands down the front of the corset like a caress. Christian’s eyes followed the path and a growl escaped as his eyes settled on the turgid cock sticking out hard and heavy between his mate’s legs. “Holy fuck. You were commando under that dress?” Christian growled. “Turn around, angel. Let me see that glorious ass of yours.”

  Raffy turned slowly and arched his back, making his ass stick out. His tight, creamy globes were framed by the cincher strings, as they swayed against them, teasing them. “Damn.” Groaning, Christian slid forward and reached his hands out. He gently caressed his hands over those muscled globes and pulled them apart. He leaned forward and placed a kiss right on Raffy’s pink star. “You are so damn sexy, angel.” Christian ran his hands up Raffy’s back over the soft leather of the corset and then slid them back down. He placed his hands on Raffy’s hips and turned him around. Raffy’s hard, leaking cock was right in front of him. Christian leaned forward and opened his lips, engulfing Raffy to the base. Raffy cried out as Christian sucked him in and swallowed around the head of his cock. He grabbed onto Christian’s shoulders for balance. “I want to taste you, mate. Please,” he begged on a whimper. Christian slowly slid his mouth off Raffy and sat back. He stood up and placed Raffy on the bed. He stepped back, and with incredible speed stripped himself bare. He moved closer to the bed, and Raffy slid off the edge and dropped to his knees. He ran his hands up Christian’s muscled thighs, leaned forward, and licked the drop of pre-cum from the tip of Christian’s thick cock.

  “Mmm, you taste so delicious,” Raffy moaned, and licked the tip again. He wrapped his fingers around the base of Christian’s cock and was surprised when his fingers didn’t meet. He opened his mouth and ran the tip of the weeping cock around his lips, leaving them glistening with his mate’s seed.

  “Gods that’s hot,” Christian whispered, and gently ran his fingers through Raffy’s hair. Raffy speared his tongue into the slit and sucked out more of his mate’s juices. “Holy hell, angel,” Christian said on a moan.

  Wrapping his lips around the head, Raffy continued to spear his tongue into the slit and started sucking. Christian’s head fell back on his shoulders and his hands tightened in Raffy’s hair. Raffy slid his lips down the hard, silky skin until he took all of Christian down his throat. He hummed around the hard shaft and swallowed, causing shivers to race down Christian’s spine and his knees to buckle. Raffy slowly slid his lips back off the thick length and licked down the side. He licked and nibbled the heavy sac and ran his tongue behind Christian’s balls, licking his perineum. Christian flinched and cried out, “Oh fuck, baby. If you keep this up I’m gonna come too soon.”

  Raffy slid his tongue back up the steel length and swallowed Christian whole. Christian shuddered and his hips started to move of their own accord. He fought against the urge to thrust and slam his cock down his mate’s throat. He didn’t want to hurt him, but damn if his mate kept this up he didn’t know how much longer he could control himself. Raffy hummed around his cock again as he bobbed his head up and down his shaft. His cheeks were hollowed from the force of his sucking and Christian was mesmerized from the sight. Cheeks hollowed, lips stretched and slick with a mix of his own saliva and Christian’s cum. He’d never seen anything so hot.


  Raffy slid his hands around Christian’s thighs and up to his ass. He grabbed onto both cheeks and pulled Christian tighter against him and sucked harder. Christian’s eyes closed tight as he threw his head back. His balls pulled up tight against his body and lights exploded behind his eyes as his orgasm shot out of him and he came down his mate’s throat. Raffy swallowed every drop of him as he massaged his balls, extending his orgasm.

  Raffy slid off his cock and slowly stood up. Christian opened his eyes just in time to see Raffy licking his swollen lips. He wrapped an arm around his mate’s waist and pulled his body against his. He grabbed the back of Raffy’s head with his other hand and pressed their lips together. He thrust his tongue inside Raffy’s mouth and his tongue met and danced with his mate’s. He tilted his head and took the kiss deeper. His hunger for his mate was out of control, he needed to consume him. Raffy’s skin felt heated against his own hot skin. Their cocks pressed together and Raffy’s hips started to gyrate. Christian moaned from deep inside him and he slid his hand down Raffy’s back slowly over the soft leather. His fingers trailed along the bone inset of the corset and down to the cincher. The corset made his back arch and his ass stick out just right.

  Christian turned them and laid Raffy down. He followed him to the mattress, never breaking the kiss. They both shifted up the mattress. Raffy opened his legs wide and Christian settled between them, their cocks sliding together. Christian broke the kiss and nibbled his way down Raffy’s throat and chest. He latched his lips onto those hard pink peaks and sucked. Raffy’s back arched off the bed and he cried out. “Oh gods, Christian! That feels so good.”

  Christian continued to suck and nibble on Raffy’s nipple. He held out his hand and the bottle of lube landed in his palm. Damn that comes in so handy. He squeezed a generous amount onto his fingers and slicked up his cock. He added more to his fingers and tossed the bottle. “I need to be inside you, angel,” Christian said against his skin. He brought his hand down and slowly slid a slick finger inside his mate’s silken channel. He sawed his finger in and out a few strokes before he added a second. Raffy was writhing against the bed as cute keening noises came from his lips.

  Raffy squeezed his muscles around his fingers like he was trying to pull more into him. Christian added a third finger and Raffy threw his head back into the pillow and screamed. “Christian, please…I’m ready…please.”

  Christian released his nipple and sat up on his knees. He grabbed onto Raffy’s hips, bringing them back as he lined up the tip of his cock with Raffy’s pretty pink star. He slowly pushed in and watched as his mate’s hole stretched around him. “Oh fuck, angel.” He kept up the pressure and slowly slid in until his hips were flush with Raffy’s ass and he was buried deep inside him. He froze with his jaw clenched and neck muscles straining. He didn’t want to come too soon. He wanted to enjoy his mate’s hot body for a long time. But it seemed Raffy had other plans. He clenched his hole around him and Christian grabbed onto his hips harder. “Oh, sweetheart, if you do that again I’m gonna come sooner than either of us want.”

  Raffy relaxed his muscles and Christian slid back. He slid his hands down Raffy’s thighs and pulled his legs up. Christian grabbed onto Raffy’s ankles around the leather boots and held his legs open wide. He started to thrust his hips faster. The sound of their heavy breathing and skin slapping were the only sounds in the room. He shifted Raffy’s legs to wrap around his waist and then released his ankles and dropped down over his mate, holding himself up on his elbows. He reclaimed Raffy’s mouth and slid his tongue in. He swallowed his mate’s moan as he hit his sweet spot. Raffy wrapped his arms tight around his shoulders as his legs squeezed his sides. The heels from the boots digging into his ass made him go wild. He started to slam into his man.

  Christian could feel the familiar tingling in his spine. His balls got tight and pulled up against his body. He released Raffy’s mouth. “Come with me, angel,” he panted, and slid a hand between their bodies. He wrapped his fingers around Raffy’s cock and stroked him in time with his thrusts. He pumped Raffy a few times when he suddenly arched his back and screamed out his release. “Yes!” Christian felt the hot wet streams shoot between them and over his hand.

  He thrust his hips three more times and his climax built and gathered in his balls. Then it hit like a freight train. It slammed into him and shot out of him deep into his mate. His body froze as all his muscles clenched. Oh gods, this is what heaven is. Right here with the most incredible man in the world, my mate.

  They lay there panting. Raffy shuddered under him, and he could feel his seed drip from his mate’s body around his shaft. Damn, that’s hot. He rested his forehead against Raffy’s collarbone as he caught his breath. Christian pulled his head back and kissed his mate gently on the lips. Slowly he pulled from Raffy’s body and they both moaned from the action.

  Christian rolled off his mate and lay beside him, pulling Raffy with him. Raffy cuddled against his side with his head resting on his chest, a strand of sweat-slicked hair sticking to his face. Christian brushed it back and kissed his forehead. He rested his head back on the pillow and closed his eyes. Within a few minutes he could hear the soft snore coming from his mate, and it made him smile.

  He let out a contented sigh and looked up at the ceiling. What a night. He was so proud of the mates. They stuck together and let it be known that under no circumstances would they take crap from these big wolves. They would stand united and not let anyone make them feel like less ever again. And Bastian and Lexi taking the stage to show solidarity with the mates made his heart swell with pride for his brothers. Bastian had heard enough crap about being the Alpha mate to Storm and how he was now a bottom. Crew mainly did all the teasing on that one. Maybe it was Crew’s way of dealing with the fact that he wanted what the smaller mates had.

  And Lexi, man Lexi was the best. He loved and respected every one of the mates and looked at them as the strongest men he had ever met. He always stood in awe of all the mates and always let it be known how he felt. Him getting up on that stage and dressing in that getup and holding Raffy’s hand brought tears of joy to his eyes and made him respect his brother more than he already did. Lexi didn’t even have a mate yet, but he still got up there with them and stood by their side. Gods, when it’s time for Lexi to find his mate, please let it be someone fabulous. He so deserves it.

  Raffy snored again and cuddled closer. He looked down at his mate and smiled. His mate. His beautiful, sexy, amazing mate was everything he could ever ask for and more. This shy little creature who was so afraid of being around people when he first got here was now spreading his wings and shining. After the shitty life he had and spending five years in captivity being abused and raped, he found his way. The confidence he now had in himself was a thing of beauty. Christian’s chest filled with pride over his mate and how far he had come. Sure, he still had his moments of shyness and self-doubt, but he was like a butterfly coming out of his cocoon. He was accepting who he was and realizing how amazing he was. And tonight he stood up in front of all those people and showed the world that he was who he was, and he didn’t care if they liked it or not. He did and that was all that mattered.
