It was a struggle, but he managed it. A little.
“They’re normal again,” Chris observed. “Your eyes.”
“That happens when my inner wolf tries to take over.”
Chris looked like he wanted to ask more questions but said nothing else. Their positions were hardly fit for another lesson on werewolf instincts and history.
“Just—” Eli heard the sound of Chris’s throat working as he swallowed. Nervous. He was very nervous, but his heart was pumping, and Eli could feel Chris’s erection through the jeans he
wore. “Slow down a little. Not used to this.”
Eli didn’t doubt it. He’d never met a man so afraid of sex before.
How the hell was he supposed to claim his mate, on a full moon night no less, while making sure his animal side didn’t try to take over the show?
Eli got up off him.
Eli’s Reluctant Mate 81
Chris looked a little stricken.
“Wait right here,” Eli said. “Be right back.”
He made sure he didn’t take long as he ran into his bathroom, grabbed the first bottle of lotion that his eyes landed on, and then jogged back to his bedroom where Chris still waited for him.
Eli had to stop at the sight. His mate was sitting on Eli’s bed, leaning back on his hands, his chest exposed, mouth plump and pink from kissing, and his hair gorgeously dishevelled.
Eli really did feel like the luckiest man on the planet.
“What’s that?” Chris asked, nodding to the bottle.
Eli took the time to look at it. “Skin cream.”
“Like taking care of your good looks, do you?” Chris asked, a playful smile on his face.
“More likely one of the female omegas left it behind after they moved out.” He squirted a little of it into his hand and rubbed his fingers together. It would serve.
He looked down at Chris, and then gave him the bottle, then took off his jeans. “Lube your fingers with that.”
Chris’s eyes popped open wide. “Me?”
Eli climbed into bed with him, naked, his body still hungry and twitchy for Chris’s touch. He wanted to put his cock into Chris’s body, wanted to fuck him again and again, but now that his human mind was logically thinking, he had to act before the moon got too high and he completely lost it again.
“I don’t know if you’ve ever had sex with another man before, but my first time, I didn’t like it by a long shot. You’re too nervous to do it like this, and when I get into mating mode, I won’t be too worried about whether or not you’re enjoying yourself at all.”
“But—” Chris looked helplessly at the bottle in his hand. “I don’t know how to make you like it either.”
Eli smiled at him and kissed him. “Trust me. I’m going to like anything you do to me tonight. I’ll show you the basics and leave the rest to you.”

He did, and somehow Eli’s little minilesson on proper sex only served to make him want it all the more, and when Chris finally got his pants off, tossing them onto the floor, Eli could clearly smell theother man’s musk. It was proof that he wanted this, too.
Chris took his lubed fingers and pressed one into Eli’s hole. Eli had gotten onto his hands and knees to make this as easy as possible for the both of them, but he hadn’t been kidding when he said he would like anything Chris did to him.
That one finger was enough to make him moan in need, and Chris hadn’t even touched his prostate.
Chris jumped at the sound. “You sure about this?”
He asked as though he thought Eli had faked the noise just to
encourage Chris on.
Eli’s body was on fire now, everything inside of him thumping, his blood rushing like a hot river of lava through his veins. He needed this. He had to mate. Needed to do it, to have Chris’s cock inside him,
even if his body wasn’t prepared to take it yet. “Yes! Yes, just fuck
me!” he demanded.
Chris, however, seemed determined to take his time, and whether
he knew it or not, that was sheer torture for Eli.
As Chris inserted a third finger, Eli began pressing his body back against the digits, fucking himself on them, and the tips of Chris’s fingers came very close to rubbing against that spot inside of him.
Not a full on touch, but the electric sizzle was still there, and Eli
groaned, his heavy cock pulsing between his legs, demanding
satisfaction.
“Fuck me, right now!” he demanded. He’d seen what Chris’s dick had looked like when the other man had taken off his pants. He was as big, heavy, and thick as Eli. Maybe slightly more so. If Chris would just hurry it up and put that thing inside of him he would come with no problem at all.
And then they would do it again and again.
“You’re not ready yet,” Chris said. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
Eli’s Reluctant Mate 83
The fact that he was taking so long preparing him was hurting
him! Couldn’t Chris see that?
It annoyed him that he had to do it, and it was a shot to his alpha pride, but, desperate times, and all that. “Please. I’m ready. Please fuck me, I can’t take it anymore.”
There was a hesitation of maybe one second. It felt more like an hour, and that was a helluva long time for a horny man to have to wait. Finally, Chris removed his fingers, and Eli heard the slight groan from behind him, and he looked to see Chris lubing his cock, gripping it from the base and sliding the lotion to the top of the shaft.
Chris’s face twisted in pleasure as he stroked himself. That was so
fucking hot.
Chris shifted his knees, still gripping his dick, and Eli felt the blunt tip nudge against the entrance of his asshole.
Chris said nothing more. His mouth fell open, and he moaned as he pushed in then tried to stop after about an inch or so. He probably thought he was giving
