Chapter 13 Mated #2
“Obviously, it’s not the same as a bonding between an alpha and an omega,” I said. “I do want Terry to fuck me, but it’s not like I’m going to be suddenly leaking milk.”
Devon’s lips twitched, and Terrance glowered at me.
“I don’t have much knowledge about this…” Devon hesitated, gaze flicking between us. “…this process between two alphas. It’s rather rare, I hear. But in any case, your being mated does take precedence over other considerations.”
I refrained from fist-bumping the air. “Yes. Thank you.”
“While the bonding might be different, you still need to be together.”
I beamed at Terrance, who looked resigned.
“It’s obvious that Terrance can’t stay on your account.”
My glee evaporated as fast as it appeared. “Wait. What? You just said we need to stay together.”
“As your mate, Terrance can’t be professionally responsible for your security.”
“But we can’t be apart!”
I was about to hurl curses onto the obstinate omega when Terrance caught my hand and squeezed. He was looking at me with a tender smile. Somehow, his warm hand around mine felt more profound than the passionate kisses we shared a few hours ago. I forgot what I was about to yell.
“We won’t be apart,” he murmured. “I’m staying, just not as your bodyguard.”
“What will you do?” I breathed.
He shrugged. “I’ll take a leave for a few weeks, and we’ll see?”
“You can take the standard week off for newly mated couples,” Devon suggested. “Then I’m temporarily reassigning you as a mentor for new employees and a remote consultant. Besides, there’s always tons of paperwork that can be done from a home office. We will evaluate after a month.”
The mention of paperwork made Terrance grimace.
“It’s not what you want,” I told him. “I can’t cost you your job.”
“I’m not getting fired. It’s just temporary adjustments until we figure out what’s happening.”
I shook my head. This wasn’t what I’d wanted to happen. If I’d been worried before that Terrance would resent me, the fear just tripled.
“Who do you think would be best on Lothair’s account?” Devon asked. “Cal and Hugo are both between assignments. Kim is about to start with a new client, but I can renegotiate that.”
Before I could protest, Terrance said, “Send Kim if you can.”
“Wait…”
Devon gave me a long, hard stare. “While Terrance is on leave, you’ll need someone else.”
“Kim is highly competent,” Terrance said. “He was my mentor when I started.”
“But…”
“The guest suite I was supposed to live in is still empty. He can stay there.”
“So I’ll have another bodyguard on my ass?”
Terrance raised his eyebrows. “Someone tried to kill you just this morning, Lothair.”
I snorted out a strained laugh. “It was just some asshole trying to rile me up. They didn’t want to kill me.”
“Actually, the police are investigating the incident as an attempted murder,” Devon said. “This person didn’t know about your ability to shift. If you were human, you could have died.”
Squeezing my hand, Terrance put his other palm on my cheek and held my gaze. “I’m staying. But if you sabotage the security measures…”
When he looked at me like that and held my hand, I would have agreed to anything. “I’ll be good,” I murmured. “A good, obedient boy.”
Terrance smirked and patted my cheek.
“Anyway.” Devon cleared his throat. “I imagine you have a lot to deal with.”
He stood, brushing nonexistent dust from his pants.
Terrance and I accompanied him to the door while they exchanged information about when and how the other guy would start.
We had the house to ourselves only until Tuesday, it seemed, then this Kim would be moving in.
After we said an awkward goodbye, Devon climbed into his black SUV and drove off.
Terrance pushed the double door closed and exhaled loudly.
“I’m so sorry,” I said.
“What for?”
“You lost your job because of me.”
“I did not. I got paid leave, and then I’m on a slightly different schedule until things settle down.”
“I’m sorry,” I repeated.
He smiled and brought my knuckles to his lips. He’d been holding my hand the entire time.
“You don’t have to apologize. But since you promised to be a good, obedient boy…” His beautiful blue eyes twinkled with mischief. “Get on your knees and suck my dick.”
I did as I was told, and with enthusiasm. He let me lick him and tease his sensitive ridges, then he fisted my hair and fucked my throat. Later, when his delicious cum flooded my mouth, I came in my jeans.
We showered together, but I got distracted by his wet, naked body.
We ended up sixty-nining on the bed. He dipped his fingers into my crease, teasing my hole, while he swirled his tongue around the ridges under my cockhead.
The scent and taste of him, the changes in our bodies, the knowledge this glorious, powerful man was now mine…
It all made the sex magical. I worked him into my throat as deep as I could, my lips stretching around the growing bulge at the base of his cock.
His knot would be partially swollen all the time now, just like mine.
A proper mated dragon’s dick. I worshipped that cock, choking on it until I couldn’t breathe.
Terrance moaned around mine, forcing two dry fingers into my ass, and I fell apart, spasming all over like he’d plugged me into electricity.
I was still shaking when he suddenly pulled out of my mouth and spun around.
He pushed me onto my back and knelt above me, pressing me into the mattress with one hand on my chest. Fierce and so damned sexy, he jerked off while eating me up with his eyes.
They flashed with gold as if he were about to shift.
Then he snarled, and ropes of cum flew from his slit, splattering all over me. It landed on my upper chest and my face, then I caught some of it in my open mouth. Terrance lay over me, the cum smearing between us, and he kissed me.
We panted into each other’s mouths until our heart rates got back to normal.
“We need to shower again.”
He slid off me and settled on his side with his arm under his head. “Later. I like you covered in my cum.”
I chuckled. “You do, hm? What do you like about it?”
“Hmm. It seems I am a little possessive of you.”
I rolled to face him and kissed his nose. “Good.”
But then he grew serious, and fear niggled in my gut yet again.
“What?” I whispered.
“Lothair, I need you to take the current threat seriously. When Kim arrives on Tuesday, you’ll be on your best behavior.”
“Whatever you say, alpha.”
He squinted. “I can’t tell whether you’re being honest or mocking me.”
I sighed and brushed his lips with my fingertips. “I mean it, Terry. It’s the least I can do.”
“Thanks.”
Then his phone beeped on the nightstand, and he reached for it.
“Shit,” he muttered.
“What?”
When he glanced at me, he looked guilty for some reason. “I…was supposed to be meeting Zach in thirty minutes.”
Oh.
I forced a smile. Was I jealous? Should I be? We were mates. Zach was a hookup whom we’d shared. I hadn’t felt threatened by him then.
Terrance was already typing on his phone. “I’ll just message him an apology and pay anyway. He could have taken on another client if I had canceled earlier.”
He paused, frowning.
“I should probably tell him I won’t be booking him on Sundays anymore.”
I sat up. We hadn’t talked about this aspect yet.
“Um. Terry?”
Focused on his screen, he didn’t look up.
“You did like sharing Zach with me, didn’t you?”
“Of course. I was freaking out, but it was still one of the hottest experiences of my life.”
“And you weren’t jealous or anything.”
“No.” His fingers froze above the screen, and he eyed me curiously.
“Would you like to do it again occasionally?” I asked.
“Share an omega lover?”
“Yeah.” I licked my lips. “Because your cock against mine inside that wet hole was heaven.”
He smirked. “And how would we hide the fact that our dicks now look like something from a fantasy sex shop?”
I slumped. “Oh.”
“Yeah. Oh.”
“Huh.” I ran different scenarios in my head.
Could we blindfold Zach? Tie him up? Would he go for something like that?
But he would still feel the ridges and the half-swollen knots, wouldn’t he?
Dammit. Maybe we could find a dragon omega who’d like being double-dicked from time to time…
But did we need that? I tried to imagine fucking only Terrance and nobody else for the foreseeable future.
I could live with that. I was intrigued by the prospect of learning his body to the last tiny little detail.
What were his secret desires? What would he do to me if I told him to use me…
I should do that. Ask him to use my body however he wanted. My dick grew hard just imagining it.
Shaking his head, Terrance chuckled and resumed typing on his phone. “You’re such a horndog, Lothair.”
“You like it.”
“I do,” he said. “And I can’t deny that the idea of inviting an omega to join us in bed still turns me on.”
“But we should be careful. Think it through.”
“Yes.” He put the phone back on the nightstand and cuddled me to his chest. “And making love to you, just the two of us, is still so new. I want to savor it.”
Making love. I closed my eyes. No, I didn’t feel like I was losing anything by being mated to Terrance. Even if we never touched another omega again.
