Once he was between Kiernan’s legs, his lover reached up and gripped his erection. Demitri moaned, his eyelids sliding shut in bliss, as Kiernan jacked his cock, greasing him with the excess lube on his fingers. When Kiernan’s hand disappeared, he whimpered at the loss.
“Come on, lover,” Kiernan urged gruffly. “Now.”
“Yeah,” Demitri panted. His body practically vibrated with excitement.
Leaning over his mate, Demitri grabbed the base of his dick and guided it to Kiernan’s stretched hole. As he pushed, Kiernan breathed out slowly, relaxing, and his cock head pushed into the hot vice of his mate’s body.
Demitri’s eyes widened in shock at the sensation. Staring down where the head of his penis disappeared inside Kiernan’s body, seeing them connected that way, Demitri’s balls pulled tight. He whimpered and clenched his eyes tight, struggling not to come. “Easy, Demitri,” Kiernan crooned. “Just breathe. Relax.”
Listening to his mate’s soft words, Demitri nodded. He felt the boil in his balls ease, and the urge to spill his seed passed. Demitri pushed, and Kiernan’s body seemed to suck him in until he was buried balls deep in his mate. Groaning, he lay over his lover’s broad chest and rubbed his cheek across the hair covering one peck. He shivered.
“Never felt anything like this,” he whispered, loving the heat and pressure on his dick, the feel of his mate’s heaving body beneath him, and the way his lover wrapped his arms around him and held him tight.
“Move, baby,” Kiernan whispered into his ear. “Pound into me. I wanna feel you in the morning.” Kiernan kissed the top of his head. “Let’s see what ya got, my sexy shifter.”
Whining in excitement, Demitri did exactly as told.
Lifting up slightly so he could look into his lover’s eyes, he started to move, pulling his cock out slowly then slamming back in. Within seconds, Demitri panted harshly and thrust wildly into his willing mate.
The way Kiernan held his gaze, his lips curling away from his teeth in a feral grin and his eyes glowing almost silver with pleasure, egged Demitri to thrust faster, driving his shaft into him again and again. Kiernan’s whispered demands— come on, baby, that’s it, right there, harder—spurred Demitri on, driving him to please his mate. His lover’s touch, the way Kiernan stroked his fingers along Demitri’s spine, then grabbed his forearms so he could rock his lower body into each of his thrusts, assured him of his mate’s equal enthusiasm and enjoyment.
A tingle started at the base of Demitri’s neck, sparking down his spine to his tailbone and pulling his balls tight to his body. His cock swelled. His canines lengthened.
Howling, Demitri thrust twice more, then snapped his head forward and sank his teeth into the flesh of his lover where neck met shoulder.
He moaned in bliss as his cock spewed his seed, coating his mate’s rectum, marking him inside while his bite marked him outside. He drank down several mouthfuls of his mate’s exquisite blood, shivering at the taste as much as the feeling of being complete.
Kiernan groaned underneath him, clutching Demitri tight to his chest. Warm seed oozed between their bodies as his lover shuddered hard and came.
Demitri remembered himself enough to remove his teeth gently from Kiernan’s neck and lick the claiming mark clean.
Kiernan turned his head and caught his mouth in a soft meeting of lips, sipping and nibbling. Holding him close with an arm around his torso, Kiernan sank the other hand in his hair and controlled the kiss. Demitri didn’t know how long they made out, enjoying each other’s soothing touches as they came down from their endorphin highs.
Finally, Kiernan eased the kiss to an end. Staring into his eyes, Kiernan traced his top lip. “That’s why you bit your cheek the first time,” he mused softly. “Because you wanted to claim me and didn’t.”
Nodding, Demitri replied, “It wouldn’t have been right.”
“I appreciate your thoughtfulness, darling.”
Kiernan brushed his lips over Demitri’s, back and forth sensually. The soft pressure distracted Demitri from the tingles racing through his groin caused by his softening cock slipping from Kiernan’s channel.
Smirking, a mischievous glint in his eyes, Kiernan teased, “I’d planned to have you suck me off once you finished. I didn’t realize I’d come from your bite. So fucking sexy.”
“I told you so,” Demitri replied cheekily.
Kiernan laughed. “So you did.” He smacked Demitri’s hip. “Okay, lover. Time for a shower. Dried cum in chest hair is not comfortable.” Happier than he ever remembered, Demitri followed his lover into the bathroom.

think I’m in the mood for bacon and eggs for “I breakfast,” Kiernan stated, leading the way downstairs.
Bright sunlight through the back windows made him squint, and he walked to them to adjust the blinds. “What do you think?” He turned to see his lover—clad only in a pair of Kiernan’s boxers—nibbling his lip.
Kiernan smiled at the endearing sight. “I love you.” At Demitri’s shocked expression, Kiernan shrugged, keeping his smile firmly fixed in place. “I thought you should know.
I’m not sure how it happened so fast.” He crossed to the coffee pot and lifted it. “Coffee?”
Geez, why the hell did I say that? He’s staring at me as if I have two heads.
“No, thanks,” Demitri replied softly.
Grabbing a cup, Kiernan filled his mug while continuing his internal criticism. He told me once that I was his one and only. Shouldn’t that mean he loves me back? What if he doesn’t?
What if shifters don’t fall in love like humans?
“After everything that’s happened,” Demitri said, catching Kiernan’s attention. “I wasn’t sure you could fall in love with me. I mean, I always hoped.” He paused and smiled tremulously. “But after seeing what happened with my parents, I didn’t—”
“Hey, hey,” Kiernan cut him off. Damn, my lover has more doubts than I do! Setting down his cup, he crossed to
