Chapter 4 Matthew
Matthew
Holy fates my mate was hot, and my body was more than ready to see what he could do to me.
His eyes…gah, they were smolder-y. And he was a firefighter.
Well, he said he had been. I’d read a romance book once about a sexy firefighter.
It was one that had been brought back to our realm from another fae, and it had been secretly passed around.
I’d never heard of a warlock mating with a fae, but I didn’t care. My mate seemed to be happy with our pairing, so I wasn’t going to question anything. Why would I? I’d been given a mate. A tall, sexy one.
“Do you have a lot of things?”
“Umm, no. Sorry. I left my realm rather quickly and didn’t have much of a chance to go home and grab anything. I didn’t have much anyway. Just some clothes, and Forest and Aspen have been helpful with that since I’ve been here,” I said as I walked into the room I’d been given a few days before.
“I meant it earlier when I said I am more than happy to provide you with everything you need. I’ve been working in one position or another for over two centuries. I’ve amassed quite a nest egg.”
I turned, and if Cornelius didn’t have quick reflexes, I would have bounced off his chest and fallen flat on my behind. As it was, his arms quickly reached out, steadying me. I wanted to burrow into his embrace, but he quickly dropped his arms.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, thanks. Umm, I had a job. I don’t mind working. I love to bake and worked in the town bakery. Is there something like that around your coven?” I asked, hopeful. I didn’t want my mate to feel as if he was responsible for everything.
“There might be? I’m not exactly sure. Amherst isn’t as small as Timber Valley. Can you drive? You’d need to drive into Amherst proper. The coven is on the outskirts of town. We have a large lot of land there. The estate is in the middle to afford privacy.”
“Oh. By driving you mean a vehicle, don’t you?” I asked. I turned and walked over to the dresser and pulled out the few articles of clothing I had. They were quite different than what we wore in our realm, so even if I’d brought my things, I would have had to get new clothing anyway.
“Yes, a car. I can teach you. We have vehicles at the estate. And there are plenty of roads that take us back and around the property. We use them to go farther into the woods when we practice our magic.”
“Really?” I spun around, excited. I’d have somewhere to practice my magic? That was wonderful news.
“Yes. Do you have a bag?” Cornelius asked.
I looked around, trying to see if I could locate the reusable shopping bag that Aspen had given me.
“Never mind,” Cornelius said before a black bag appeared on the bed beside him.
When he leaned over to open it, I couldn’t help but glance between him and the bed.
He was so close. It wouldn’t take much to get him onto the bed.
He was certainly taller and a bit broader than me, but I still had magic.
Only, I wasn’t sure it would work on my mate.
Actually, I was almost positive it wouldn’t.
“Stop looking at me that way. Soon enough, my little One. But I’m not going to start anything at the alpha’s house.
Now, do you have a toothbrush? Shampoo? Things like that?
” Cornelius asked as he took the pile of clothes from my hands.
I absently nodded before turning. I quickly walked to the en suite to get my bathroom things.
I found the fabric shopping bag and quickly stuffed everything in there, returning to the bedroom, and groaned.
Cornelius was sitting on the bed, waiting.
His chuckles didn’t help. In fact, the opposite, and my dick plumped a bit more. How was that even possible?
“You ready, then?”
I nodded because my tongue wasn’t going to work.
My sexy warlock was sitting on a bed, staring at me like he was undressing me in his mind.
When Cornelius held out his hand, I walked to him, placing my much smaller one in his, and then we were suddenly in another bedroom.
This one had a messy bed, and there were clothes half in, half out of the hamper as well as on the floor directly in front of the hamper.
“Shit. I’m…I swear the rest of the house is neat as a pin. Balthazar is super anal about things being neat and put in place.” I watched as the room was suddenly put into pristine order.
“It’s okay. So…umm…I’ve read a few books, but I don’t really know…” Now that it was time, I was a bit embarrassed, actually. “You’ll have to teach me. I promise—”
I found myself swept up into Cornelius’s arms and squeaked like a mouse. I felt my cheeks flush red with embarrassment.
“I look forward to teaching you everything I can about pleasure. I also can’t wait to learn what you enjoy most. But first, I think we should go to the living room and talk.”
Talk? Really? My mate wanted to talk? My confusion was apparent because Cornelius pulled me closer to him, placing a quick kiss to my forehead.
“Yes, talk. I want nothing more than to strip you naked and learn every inch of your body with my hands, mouth, and tongue—”
I squeaked again. Really? Every inch of me? Cornelius chuckled again.
“Yes, every inch of you.”
“Did I say that out loud?”
“You did. But we’ll get back to that later.
I want to talk because I know that once we do make it to bed, we won’t be coming out for a few days at least. And sadly, I’ll admit I don’t know nearly enough about fae.
There are some questions I have and I need answers to before we get to… other activities.”
“Oh, that makes sense.”
Cornelius set me on my feet and quickly pulled my hat from my head. Out sprung all of my crazy mass of curls everywhere, and my hands instinctively went to it.
“Wow. I didn’t know your hair was curly. Stop,” Cornelius said as I tried desperately to tame it.
“Stop what? I know it looks terrible. I need to cut it, but I’ve not had time lately.”
“Why would you cut it? Stop smashing it down,” Cornelius said as he fought with me to keep my hands out of my hair. I looked up into my mate’s eyes, my hands held up and out beside my head where he had them.
“You’re saying you like the curls? Really?”
“Are you kidding? They’re sexy. I can’t wait to see them crazy messy because I’ve wrapped my fingers in them and held on while I fed you my cock. Or better yet, while I slowly thrust in and out of your sexy little body.”
My body heated, and I made a noise that I wasn’t quite sure how to describe.
“Oh, my little fae. We’ve only just met, but already I think you’re adorable.”
“Is adorable good? Aren’t puppies adorable?”
Cornelius finally got my coat unzipped and off me, hanging it beside his on the coat rack. When he tugged on my hand, I followed.
“Mates, Ones, loved ones can be adorable too. And you are adorable. I can’t help it.
You’re short; perfect-sized, actually. Have curly hair that I just want to play with, and your nose just begs to be booped.
I thought fae had pointed ears though,” Cornelius said as he pulled me down onto his lap after he sat on the couch.
“We do. It’s a glamor. I have to either grow my hair out to cover my ears, or do a glamor.” I removed the glamor and felt my ears extend and become quite pointed.
“Wow, okay, they’re cute too. Are they sensitive?
Can I nibble on them?” Cornelius asked as he lowered his face, and I suddenly felt his warm breath on my ears.
I moaned when he did in fact nibble on them with his warm lips.
“Yeah, they’re sensitive. What about here?
” he asked as he moved to the area just behind my ears and placed an openmouthed kiss.
I shivered when he pulled back a bit and gently blew on the wet skin.
“Oh, sweetheart, you’re so responsive. We’re going to have no issues with compatibility. ”
“Are we finished talking? Because my dick is really starting to hurt.”
“Not even close. I want to know all about you. What do you like to eat? Are you allergic to anything? Do you want to go to college?” Cornelius’s hands roamed over my torso while his lips went back to moving over my neck.
I moaned when he gently bit the side of my neck while his hands trailed down to the waist of my jeans.
“Umm, I eat everything, I think. I don’t believe I’m allergic to anything.
There are some foods that are here that we don’t—” I gasped, and Cornelius chuckled when I suddenly felt his very warm, calloused hand close around my throbbing dick.
Immediately, I moaned as he pumped his hand up and down once, setting tingles off in my balls.
“Cornelius…I’m…I’ve never and…”
“Come, sweetheart. If we take the edge off, we’ll be able to focus on talking,” Cornelius said just before he turned my face to meet his.
His lips crashed down on my mouth as his hand tightened on my dick and started stroking again.
As he stroked, his tongue met mine, and that was all it took to have me screaming into his mouth as the vibrations in my body intensified as I tumbled over the edge and cum shot from my dick all over me.
I felt my canines drop, and when Cornelius’s tongue touched one, my dick spurted one last time as he jerked, ending our kiss.
“Damn, sweetheart. Do you have fangs?”
It took a few moments to understand what he’d asked, and I shook my head. Cornelius pulling his hand up to his mouth and licking my cum from his fingers didn’t help.
“No. I’m not a vampire. I have canines that drop when I’m…with my mate. Umm, we claim our mate by biting. I don’t have to though, if it’s something you don’t want. You claiming—”
“Shh.” Cornelius placed his now clean finger on my mouth, stopping my rambling. “I want you to claim me. Does that mean you’ll top me too?”
My eyes rounded, and I shook my head. “Nooo, I don’t need to. A bite while you’re inside me works.” I looked down at myself not quite sure how that would even work.
