Epilogue Ayden
Ayden woke to the feeling of his mate’s cock already inside him, the stretch delicious, Liam’s breath straining as he tried to keep quiet.
His back was also aching, which was novel.
He didn’t usually rest long or deeply enough to get uncomfortable.
They’d fallen asleep on the green velvet couch in his office the previous night.
It wasn’t the first time they’d done that over the past few months since they bonded, and it definitely wouldn’t be the last.
“Mmm, so good for me, pet,” Ayden moaned, letting go of the control he had to keep over his nature the rest of the time and hissing in satisfaction as Liam’s thrusts turned desperate in response to the raw lust flooding the room.
Now that Liam’s soul was nestled in close to his burning heart, Ayden no longer had to worry about whether his powers were welcome. He could never hurt his mate. He’d rather cut off both his horns than feel even the tiniest hint of regret or reluctance from Liam for something they’d done together.
“No. You’re being good for me this morning,” Liam ordered. “Because you looove me.” That last sentence was smug and teasing.
Ayden huffed, squeezing his ass around the cock inside him before pulling his tail free from where it was trapped beneath them so he could give his mate the same pleasure he was feeling at being stuffed full.
Nearby, the remains of the candles and picnic basket from their romantic evening the night before lay scattered across the floor.
Maybe the office wouldn’t be most people’s idea of a romantic location, but this was where so many of their firsts had been.
Ayden had wanted the first time he told his mate he loved him to be there, too.
In the place where Liam had been the first to ask him his preferences, like he was more than just a sex toy to play with.
The place where he’d first felt the sublime pleasure of breaching his mate’s body.
The place where they’d almost lost each other, only to find forever instead.
Not that his pet had said the words back.
He was being a brat about it. Ayden loved when Liam was a brat because it meant he wanted to be punished, or funished at least. Ayden could never punish him for real.
Slipping his tail up to his mouth, he took the tip in deep.
His eyes rolled back in his head as his mate’s small hands slid up his back to grip his horns just the way he liked, and he arched his back so Liam could pound into him even easier.
Once his tail was slick and wet with his saliva, he curled it back over his mate’s body, teasing Liam’s rim with the tip.
It wouldn’t take much more of his own desperate need for his mate before it started sparking again the way they both loved.
Liam’s rhythm stuttered as he continued his exploration of his hole with his tail. Ayden made a noise of complaint as his mate pulled almost all the way out of him, even though it was his own fault for teasing Liam until his body couldn’t help but chase the sensation.
“Ayden! Put it in already,” Liam whined.
Instead of doing as his mate asked, he flicked his tail like a whip. The strike landed right on his hole, making Liam howl with pleasure and shove back inside him, just like he’d hoped.
“Say it,” Ayden said.
“Say what?” Liam asked, false innocence in his voice as he tried again to push back on the gentle pressure of Ayden’s tail.
“You know what, brat. Say it, and I’ll shove my tail in so deep and thick, it’ll feel like I’m fucking you for real while you’re inside me.” He didn’t really need the words. He already knew how Liam felt through their bond. This was just for fun.
Reaching underneath him, Liam wrapped a hand around Ayden’s cock, stroking it firm and fast with a twist at the top.
“You’re making a mess of the couch, dripping like that. Facilities is going to kill me if they have to steam-clean it again.”
“Liam,” Ayden said, the warning clear in his voice as he used his tail as a whip once more.
“Fuck yes! Again!”
Thank fuck their desires and kinks had lined up so well on the forms they’d given each other.
Not that he would have expected anything less from his soul match.
Liam was perfect for him. Every horny, kinky inch of him.
Ayden didn’t even need the treatment he’d been taking for his condition anymore.
His mate could satisfy him, even at his most ravenous.
“Only if you say it.”
Ayden whined in complaint as Liam pulled all the way out, but he quickly got over it as his mate pushed him onto his back, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips.
Pulling his knees up as high as they could go, Ayden splayed himself out on display for his mate.
Everything felt right in the world as Liam slipped back inside him.
“Ayden?” Liam asked.
His eyes had slipped closed in pleasure. Opening them, Ayden blinked up at his mate’s beautiful face. “Mmmm?”
“I love you.”
Joy filled his heart, and he couldn’t have hidden his wide smile if he tried. “I love you, too, pet. More than anything.”
“More than sex?” Liam teased, thrusting into him and sparking another surge of pleasure and need.
“More than all the desire in the world.”
“Does that mean I get a raise? There’s got to be some perks to banging your boss.”
Gripping Liam’s lush cheeks in both hands, Ayden pulled them apart and spanked him again with his tail. The noises his mate made in response were giving him life.
“Ayden, please,” Liam said, grabbing his tail and stroking it like it was another cock as he tried to push the tip to his hole.
“Let me get it wet again. I don’t want to hurt you.”
Liam’s eyes tracked every swish of his tail as he sucked it deep into his mouth, his pupils dilating as a flush rose in his cheeks. “No more teasing,” he whispered. “Need you.”
“I’ll always give you what you need, pet.”
Letting his tail thicken and spark with their shared desire, he pushed the tip to Liam’s hole and then further, as deep as he could comfortably go.
Liam’s movements went wild, his hips thrusting frantically as he pumped into Ayden’s body. One hand was braced on his horn in a way that was driving him crazy, and the other was stroking Ayden’s cock hard and fast.
“Fuck me with it. Please, Ayden. Need it. Need you.”
The pleasure cresting between them was overwhelming, especially with the way they could feel each other through the bond. Knowing it would throw them both over the edge, Ayden pulled his tail out almost to the tip before tensing it so tight it started vibrating and shoving back deep inside.
Sure enough, Liam immediately screamed in pleasure as the move forced him into climax and his cum shot deep inside him.
The ecstasy that rocketed through the bond, clear and beautiful, was enough to set off Ayden’s orgasm at the same time, both of them locked in rapture.
It was long minutes before either of them managed to float back to earth from their high.
“That was incredible,” Liam said, flopping down on top of him and nestling in close to his chest as he let his legs relax down.
“You’re incredible,” Ayden replied, letting his tail stroke gently in and out of Liam’s hole, drawing out the aftershocks and comforting them both by maintaining the connection between them.
“I really do love you, and I love this new life—my friends, my job. Just don’t tell the fucking Council. I’m still mad at them for the whole kidnapping thing.”
“Not mad at me?”
“I could never be mad at you. We should get up before we get in trouble, though. I’m not sure even your magical soundproofing will help when we open the door and the smell of sex fills the basement. Your staff will never let us hear the end of it.”
Ayden laughed. “They’re demons. No one minds down here. It’s not like we fucked on Gabriel’s conference table or anything.” Ayden smiled as he felt a surge of deliciously naughty arousal down the bond. “Mmm… you like the idea of that pet?”
“He’d be too mad. And not in a fun way.”
“Are you scared of him? Of any of the owners?” His bosses were an intimidating bunch, even for someone like him.
“Nah. They’re good people underneath it all. Once you get past the murderous superpowers and stern Daddy vibes. They just need to loosen up a bit and have some fun. Do the other species mate as well?”
Ayden snickered, imagining his boss or the grumpy angel in charge succumbing to a mate bond. “Yeah, they all can.”
“We should make that happen. Just in case I’m ever not enough to satisfy your hunger. Imagine how much desire they would generate if they were all fucking in their offices as well? When’s the next human going to arrive?”
Ayden nuzzled into his mate’s neck, pressing kisses up and down his throat. “You are more than enough to satisfy me, my love. And maybe we should let them figure out who’s sending these packages first?”
They’d had to instigate new protocols after that first incident, and there had been several more that he’d quietly dealt with. It wasn’t Ayden’s department to track down the culprits, though, thankfully.
Liam pushed up to sit straddling him, a wicked smile on his face. “What better time to matchmake than when they’re stressed and need some relief? They’re all so hot and bossy. I love the idea of a human bringing them to their knees.”
Ayden threw his head back in laughter, the bright happiness of his mate’s joy fizzing down their bond in response. This was what their eternity together would be—fun, loving, teasing, and horny-as-fuck. He couldn’t wait.
