14. Chapter Twelve #2
Lucas took Bennett’s hard length in his hand. It felt like silk over steel. Lucas fisted it and pumped his hand up and down softly.
“Come on, baby. Come here,” Bennett whispered as he gripped Lucas’ hip gently.
Lucas swung his leg over Bennett, settling himself on top. Bennett’s other hand came up, holding him there. Just feeling Bennett’s cock against his balls made him hard again. Lucas moved back and forth, rubbing his ass all over that cock, almost the way Bennett asked him to.
“Oh, yeah. That’s it, baby,” Bennett said when Lucas picked up his pace.
Bennett fisted his cock and Lucas cried out. His hand pumped in time with Lucas’ movements. “Bennett.”
Bennett grunted and his eyes squeezed shut.
Lucas couldn’t help the whimper that came from his lips when his orgasm built.
He stopped breathing for a second when that heated tingle burst from him.
His cum covered his mate’s hand, dripping onto his stomach.
He liked that it marked Bennett. He liked it a lot and started rubbing it into his skin with his fingers.
He felt hot wetness at his ass and on his balls.
Bennett grunted. He reached behind him, wanting to feel Bennett’s cum more than anything.
It was on the outside of his hole and Lucas couldn’t help rubbing that cum around his pucker, slipping his finger in a second later, suddenly needing the fullness.
Something snapped into place the instant he pushed cum into his hole.
He could feel everything about his mate and hear him in his mind.
Bennett looked at him in surprise and his teeth dropped down.
Lucas leaned forward on pure instinct, tilting his neck to give Bennett access.
It felt completely natural to give himself to Bennett as if he was born for it.
He expected the bite to hurt, but it didn’t. Then the most intense pleasure he had ever felt took over, turning him rock hard in seconds. He wasn’t sure if he actually came again. It seemed impossible.
He felt a tingling in his mouth and let instinct rule him once again.
“My mate,” Lucas whispered before he bit down on Bennett’s shoulder, letting his teeth break the skin.
He should have felt bad for hurting Bennett, but he couldn’t, not when the moment felt so perfect.
Bennett’s pleasure was so loud and clear through the connection, Lucas had little doubt he’d feel it even when they weren’t touching.
Bennett pulled his teeth out of Lucas, licking the wound.
Lucas heard the dragon purr in his mind and sighed in contentment. Blood should’ve made him gag, but Bennett’s actually tasted good when he licked at the wounds he had created.
He lifted up enough to meet Bennett’s gaze. It seemed one little slip of a finger took the decision out of his hands. It was his own finger, too. Bennett wasn’t even the one who messed up, although the guilt was clear to see.
“It’s not your fault.”
“I don’t know how that happened. I’m sorry.”
“I pushed your cum into me with my finger.”
“Oh.”
Lucas smiled and changed the subject. It was too late to go back even if he wanted to, which he didn’t. “I’ve never felt so close to someone before. I really like it.”
Bennett smiled. “Me too, baby.”
Lucas laid his head on Bennett’s chest and fell asleep .
Lucas woke up to the smell of cinnamon, but he knew he hadn’t slept very long. Bennett’s bed felt like home. He tried to snuggle into the bedding and go back to sleep but couldn’t, not without Bennett in the bed too.
He scratched his chest and sat up. He was still naked but didn’t feel dried crusty cum, so he figured Bennett had cleaned him. He looked out of the window and noticed it was getting dark. He had stayed way later than he should have.
He scratched his chest again and got out of bed. He saw his clothing folded up on a chair in the corner of the room.
He smiled at Bennett’s thoughtfulness.
Getting dressed wasn’t something he wanted to do but he slipped his underwear on regardless.
He cupped his balls, thinking about the way it felt to have Bennett’s cock slide against them.
His neck ached a little where the bite mark was and he couldn’t help but reach up with his other hand, feeling it.
The wound had already scabbed over. Touching them sent a tingle through his body, making his cock take notice.
He sighed and picked up his shirt, pulling it over his head.
He couldn’t believe he had bonded with Bennett. And he had bit him too. He couldn’t even begin to say where his fangs had come from. Everything had happened so fast and with such instinct, he found it difficult to process, even now after he had gotten some sleep.
He really needed to get home, away from Bennett to think about all bonding meant for his life.
He had never really had a steady boyfriend and hadn’t dated all that much.
In one day, he was virtually married. God, seriously?
He ran a hand through his hair. He had been a fuck-up his entire life and he was dragging someone else down with him.
Yeah, he really needed time to process everything bonding with Bennett could mean for them both .
He scratched his chest again, through his shirt and winced at the stabbing pain.
He lifted his shirt away from his skin at the collar and looked down.
He had definitely scratched up a red mark.
Lucas sighed. The witch thing was detrimental to his health.
He was pretty sure he was starting to carry some of Bennett’s dragon traits, if the fact that he could smell every little thing in the house.
Like he could tell a mouse was in the house somewhere and that a shifter, other than Bennett, had been in the house in the last few minutes, though wasn’t in the house anymore.
The other shifter might have been Forrest. It was a scent he associated with his little one room cabin, but still couldn’t be completely sure.
Lucas put on his jeans and walked out of the room. He could tell Bennett wasn’t in the house either and he started to panic. He projected out before he heard Bennett’s voice in his head. I’m in the garage, baby.
Well, this is really cool. I’ll never have to say a single word to you ever again. This mate-bonding thing really has its perks, huh?
Just wait until bed tonight and I’ll show you how perky the mate bond can get.
Lucas let out a sigh and walked through the house to the back door.
He slipped on his shoes and made his way out of the door to the garage.
The frogs were chirping all around him, sounding louder than normal.
He heard Bennett say something and knew he was talking to the shifter who had been in earlier.
He heard Forrest respond, but really didn’t pay attention to the conversation.
He was just happy he got the scent right on the first try. Go him!
His whole focus was on Bennett as he walked into the garage. Bennett was in a boat that sat on its trailer, but he swung over the side when he saw Lucas.
Lucas waved absently at Forrest .
“How do you feel?” Bennett asked even as he took Lucas in his arms.
“Mm…Good. Great. Terrified,” Lucas said and smiled up at his mate. “What about you?”
Bennett frowned. “Why are you scared, baby?”
Really? “Umm, because I just jumped into a relationship that I can’t get out of.”
Bennett stiffened. “There are ways around this.”
“Hey, I didn’t say I wanted to get out. I’m just scared.
I don’t know you that well. I’m just worried I’m going to do something to screw it up.
I seem to screw up everything. And then what if I have an ability that is completely awful.
What if I do something to hurt you? I have issues controlling my witch magic stuff.
” Lucas scratched his chest and that reminded him of his new problem.
He moved back and pulled his shirt up, showing Bennett the rash that had started and the redness from itching so much.
“Like this. What the hell! Headaches. Hot sweats. Now a rash. I’m a fucking mess, Bennett.
And don’t even get me started on the fact that somehow I have fangs and get all bitey around you whenever your cum gets in my ass. ”
Lucas turned to look at Forrest. “Sorry, Forrest.”
Forrest waved him off. “I think you need to spend more time with Mom.”
Lucas nodded. “I already practice my magic witch stuff once a week with her.” He put his shirt down and Bennett rubbed the spot through the fabric.
“Lucas, you’re not going to hurt me. Or screw anything up.”
“How do you know? How do you even know you like me as much as you think you do?”
Bennett smiled at him. “Oh, I like you. A lot. ”
Lucas couldn’t help it. Bennett was really sexy when he was all flirty and smiling.
Lucas ran his hand up Bennett’s chest and around his neck.
He pulled him down and kissed him. It was just a peck on the lips and then a little lick across Bennett’s lips, but it was enough to get his blood pumping.
“I need a little time to myself. Need to think about all this.”
Bennett scowled again. “Why?”
Lucas sighed and leaned his forehead on Bennett’s chest. “I just do, Bennett.”
“You can’t go by yourself. It’s not safe. I’ll go with you.”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because I can’t think when you’re around. All I think about is making love with you and I really just need to clear my head. Just for tonight. Okay, Bennett?”
His mate scowled. “I don’t understand you, at all.”
Lucas smiled. “I know. I’m sorry. I don’t really understand it either. I just know I need a little space.”
“You’ll come back in the morning?”
“Yes.”
“And you’ll bring your stuff? Live here?”
Lucas smiled again and pressed his cheek to Bennett’s chest, taking in his scent. “Okay.”
“Okay, you can go. But you have to take Forrest with you.”
“Gee, thanks for giving me my freedom.”
Bennett pulled him away, far enough to look into Lucas’ eyes. “This isn’t our way, Lucas. We’re newly bonded and you’re asking me to spend a night away from you.” Bennett’s green eyes pleaded with him to reconsider.
Shit, he had hurt his mate’s feelings.
