Chapter 18 Cal
CHAPTER 18: CAL
Cal’s breath caught in his chest as he watched Luca all but worshipping the storm. He’d been drawn up to the roof the moment he woke, only pausing long enough to devour the food his mate had left for him. Luca didn’t know it, but this spot was his favourite in the club. One he never let anyone else come to. With his water magic, there was no feeling more powerful than standing up here exposed to the elements and feeling the rain driving down around him. Just like Luca was doing. Because they were a damn perfect match for each other.
Even with his higher shifter body temperature, he could see Luca was chilled from how long he’d been standing there. His clothes were sodden and his arms were covered in goosebumps where the rain trickled down like little rivers exploring his body. Letting his power flow between them as he stepped closer, Cal warmed the water against Luca’s skin and sank his awareness into it so he felt like his essence was brushing against every spot the rain had touched.
Luca turned to him with welcome in his stormy eyes and his arms outstretched as he felt the heat of Cal’s magic. A flash of lightning illuminated the rooftop as Cal reached out and pulled his mate into his arms and the image would be burned into his memory for eternity—Luca, wet and bedraggled, eyes shining with the roiling grey of the clouds, and every cell of his body tuned into Cal’s presence as he leaned into him.
“Make me yours. I’m ready,” Luca whispered.
Cal reared back in surprise and stared down at Luca’s face. “Are you sure? I would wait for you forever. There’s no rush,” he said, barely daring to hope that all his dreams might be about to come true.
“I’m sure,” Luca said, without an ounce of hesitation.
“Right here?” he asked.
“Right here.”
“You are so perfect for me,” Cal said, pulling Luca into a kiss.
“You’re wearing too many clothes,” Luca replied.
A shiver ran through Cal’s body as Luca’s claws ran down his back, shredding his shirt. He relished the sensation of the rain on his bare skin, continuing to warm it for his mate. The gentle expenditure of his power lent the air around them a blue glow that turned the stormy night into a place of wonder.
That was the only gentle thing about them. They’d both run out of patience as they tore each other’s clothing away from their bodies, their mouths biting at each other in a deep, desperate kiss. Spinning around to the wall of the stairwell, Cal lifted Luca up into his arms as he pressed him back against the cool metal cladding.
Breaking their still frantic kiss, Cal held the shifter one-handed as he bent down to grab the lube from the tangle of fabric they’d left on the ground.
“Came prepared, huh?” Luca teased, breathless.
Cal responded by grinding the steel of their erections against each other, both of them letting out a desperate groan as pleasure rocked through them. Luca snatched the lube from him as he clutched him tight and rocked their bodies together. It was just as well because he needed both his hands free to touch his mate everywhere he wanted. Letting his fangs lengthen, Cal traced the sharp tips down Luca’s neck, teasing them both with the suggestion of a mating bite.
“Yes!” Luca gasped, reaching behind himself as he tilted his neck to give Cal better access.
Cal’s eyes widened as he felt Luca’s arm brush against his as he reached down to slip two fingers inside himself.
“Baby, you don’t have to…” he trailed off and lost his train of thought as he leaned back to watch Luca’s hole stretch around his fingers.
“You’re going to fuck me up against the wall and bite me, claim me,” Luca gasped, adding a third finger as Cal struggled to figure out where he should be looking—at the sweet temptation of that ass or at the wild desperation in Luca’s face.
Was he really ready for this? The last thing he wanted was for Luca to feel trapped.
As if sensing his thoughts, Luca released a low snarl. “You better not be treating me like I’m fragile. I want this. I want you.”
Trust went both ways. If Luca trusted him enough to do this, the least he could do was trust Luca to know his own mind and body. A sense of rightness settled inside him as he accepted that truth.
“I’m going to sink my teeth into that gorgeous neck of yours and then you’re going to put me on my knees and knot my ass like a good boy, aren’t you, baby?”
Cal knew exactly what effect his words would have as he said them. Luca’s eyes dilated until they looked like the dark of the moon and he whined, the movements of his wrist becoming frantic as he shoved another finger in his hole.
“Fuck yes. Please, Daddy.”
Pulling Luca’s hand clear, Cal notched his cock against his hole and paused to take in every sensation. The lightning still flashing in bursts of light, the warmth of the rain driving into their skin like needles, the strength in Luca’s muscles where his hand was wrapped around him.
“You gonna stretch me while I fuck you, sweetheart?” Cal asked.
Luca whimpered again and Cal just about dropped him as Luca’s hand snuck down to trace teasing circles around his rim. How had he even managed to get more lube when they were both naked? Too desperate to take the time to ask him, Cal used a touch of his magic to make his cock slick enough not to hurt his boy before pushing into the tight, burning heat of Luca’s body.
Groaning, he rested his forehead against Luca’s as he fought back the orgasm already threatening to wash away all his restraint. He wanted to ask if Luca was okay, but he knew it wouldn’t be welcomed. His unasked question was answered a moment later when Luca’s finger breached his body, somehow focussing in with laser precision on that spot inside that made him wild.
The battle for any restraint was well and truly lost. Pushing back onto Luca’s fingers dragged his cock out of Luca’s body, making him desperate to get back inside. He set a punishing rhythm as he chased the dual sensations like an addict, slamming into his mate’s body over and over again.
“Look at you taking my cock like a good boy. So fucking perfect,” Cal said, growling as the words made Luca’s hole tighten and pulse around his cock.
“Need you to come. Please. Fill me up so I can knot you, Daddy,” Luca gasped .
Cal’s fangs were aching as he pounded into Luca. He couldn’t help himself as he leaned in and closed his bite over the heavy muscles at the base of Luca’s neck, not quite hard enough to break the skin. Yet.
It was agony. Pure anticipation. Euphoric pleasure.
“Don’t tease. Do it. I’m yours,” Luca gasped.
“And I’m yours, baby,” Cal said, before sinking his teeth deep into the muscle.
Metallic blood filled his mouth, the scent of Luca’s pleasure filled the air, and Cal felt the bond pull tight between them as the sensations had his cock throbbing before his orgasm burst through him. He could feel his cum filling Luca’s hole in spurt after spurt, and he let his magic fill his essence so the liquid sent tingling rockets of pleasure through them both.
Warm wetness spread up his abs as Luca came screaming in his arms, but the insane tension between them didn’t abate in the slightest. Their bond was only half complete and there would be no relief until he bore Luca’s bite.
Luca whined in complaint as he pulled free, his eyes glowing full gold as his wolf came to the fore.
Dropping to his knees, Cal sucked the head of his cock into his mouth, tonguing around the ridges as the taste of Luca’s cum on his lips sent another trembling orgasm through him.
“Fuck, Cal,” Luca gasped, pushing at his shoulder.
In perfect synchronicity, Cal pulled away and spun around until he was on elbows and knees on the smooth surface of the roof as Luca dropped down behind him. Was it going to be the most comfortable? No. Did he give a shit? Also, no. There was no space in his mind for anything but the need for his mate.
Luca’s hands shook where they held his hips and he paused with only that point of connection between them .
“I don’t think I can be gentle,” Luca said, voice strained.
“Fucking ruin me, baby.”
Without his new shifter strength, Cal wouldn’t have been able to stay upright as Luca unleashed himself on him. The second he was fully sheathed inside him, Luca latched onto Cal’s neck, keeping his teeth right there with the promise of what was to come. Cal had always been big for a human. His mate’s cock was just as long but maybe a little smaller in girth, which was just as well given Cal could already feel the beginning of Luca’s knot pushing against him with every driving thrust of his hips.
Again and again, he pushed back onto Luca, ignoring the throbbing ache of his cock as it bounced against his abs. He needed both arms to brace himself, so there was no way he could take it in hand, not that he was going to need to. He could already feel himself teetering on the edge of another orgasm as Luca’s swelling knot started rubbing against his prostate relentlessly.
“Come for me, baby,” he ordered, his voice stern in the way he knew Luca loved even as he felt like his entire soul was falling apart and being put back together just right.
With one last thrust, Cal felt a burning pressure against his rim before Luca slipped inside, locking them together with his knot as his teeth finally sank into Cal’s neck. Wave after wave of pleasure shot through him, overwhelming any pain he might’ve felt. Both of them howled in release as the mating bond finally completed, the song of their wolves weaving together with the storm’s winds until the very air itself seemed to vibrate with their joy at being joined.
Nestled together on the roof, Cal finally recovered enough to use his magic to shield them from the rain. Sheets of water slid down the bubble of warmth he created as they lay and simply existed together. Luca was a constant reassuring presence in the back of his mind now. Thanks to the new bond between them, he’d never have to guess when his boy needed him again. He’d know.
When Luca’s knot finally shrunk enough for him to slip free, Cal rolled over and pulled Luca into his arms, kissing his temple.
“Promise me something?” Luca said.
“Anything.”
“Don’t tell my sister anything about where we did this. She’ll never let me hear the end of it after what happened with Vin and Angel.”
Cal snorted as he felt Luca’s rueful amusement at their predicament. “You Lunetti boys and your rooftop matings. Regretting this already?”
“Never.”
