Chapter 6
Cleaning up the kitchen didn’t take long and then they headed back upstairs.
“Your place or mine?” Keith said once they reached the landing.
“Actually, those two need to be the same place because I’m not going to sleep apart from you.
I’m assuming you don’t want to move into the guest bedroom, because otherwise, you’d have already done that.
” He inhaled deeply, taking all the surrounding scents into his body.
“Plus, I don’t have anything here and your things are already in your room so that one makes most sense.
” He clasped Brian’s hand and walked toward his bedroom, passing by several closed doors along the way.
“Is there anything embarrassing you want to hide before I go inside?” he asked, hand on the door handle.
“Because if there is, you can save us both time by pointing me in the right direction so I can see it quickly.” He opened the door and walked into the room.
“It’s been a long day, and you’re beat. I don’t want to keep you up late snooping when we could be spending that time getting to it in bed. ”
“How did you know this is my room?”
“It smells the most like you.”
“What?” Brian scrunched his eyebrows together. “I’ve lived here for going on a year. This entire house smells like me.”
“Sure. But you spend the most hours in here and your personal things are in here, so it smells the most like you.” Keith inhaled deeply and reveled in the scent of his mate surrounding him outside and in.
“You smell incredible,” he said, voice husky.
He brushed his hand through Brian’s hair.
“Aren’t you more interested in the other thing I said? ”
“What do you mean it smells the most like me? How could you know that from the hallway?” He paused. “Getting to what in bed?”
“That’s more like it.” Keith stepped closer to his mate until they were chest-to-chest. He trembled in reaction to all that skin-on-skin contact. “You feel really good.”
“So do you.” Brian skimmed his hands over Keith’s shoulders and smoothed them down his arms. “I’m really looking forward to holding you tonight. We don’t have to do anything else. I know you’re exhausted.”
“I’m looking forward to it too. And we absolutely have to do other things.
” He took hold of Brian’s hips and walked him backward toward the bed.
“You’ve been prancing your sexy, naked body in front of me all night.
It’s time to put out.” After a light push, Brian was sitting on the edge of the bed and Keith climbed onto his lap.
“You should hold onto me or I may fall.”
As he had expected, the suggestion of any harm coming to him immediately caused Brian to wrap his arms around him. What a sweetheart.
“I like that,” Keith whispered into Brian’s ear. He kissed his way down the side of his neck and across his collarbone.
“Like what?” Brian rasped, his fingertips digging into Keith’s lower back.
“How protective you are.” He nibbled his way up to Brian’s jaw. “It’s very sweet. Makes me feel special.”
“You are special.” Brian turned his head and their lips met. “The most special person in my world.” He pressed his mouth to Keith’s, the pressure gentle. “I’ll always protect you, mate. You’ll be safe from now on.”
He was more than capable of protecting both himself and Brian, but he appreciated the sentiment, so he didn't push back. Instead, he focused on the tender kiss he was receiving. Brian’s lips opening and closing against his.
Brian’s tongue licking and teasing. Brian’s breath mingling with his own.
The care and intimacy brought tears to his eyes and wove lust through his body.
“Thank you,” Keith whispered.
“Why are you thanking me?” Brian asked, his voice equally low.
“I was talking to Mother Nature.” He tightened his arms around Brian’s shoulders and pressed their mouths together again. “I’ve doubted her for a long time, but being here with you, I realize she didn’t abandon me, and I’m so grateful.”
“I’m grateful too.” Brian gazed into his eyes and trailed his fingertips across his jaw. “You are so different from what I expected.” His touch tender and reverent, Brian caressed and kissed him again. “She truly blessed me.”
The sweet embrace eventually ramped up, and Keith found himself on his back, blanketed by his mate’s heat. He bucked his hips and moaned when his erection rubbed against Brian’s. Groin tight, heart racing, and lungs working overtime, he repeated the motion again and again.
“Oh!” he gasped and tangled his fingers in Brian’s hair.
“You feel so good.” He stared into his eyes and thrust against him.
“Make me feel incredible.” His eyes rolled back at the pleasure of his mate’s firm, hot body writhing with his own, their cocks sliding together.
“I think I’m going to…” He gasped for air.
“I want this to last longer but I…” His entire body shook. “Oh, oh, oh.”
“I'm going to come.” Brian’s eyes widened and his mouth fell open. “Ungh,” he groaned as his movements became frantic and then wetness coated Keith’s belly.
That was the final stimulation Keith needed to take him over the edge and plunge him into bliss.
“Brian,” he rasped and then he surged up and covered Brian’s mouth with his own, needing to taste him as he pulsed his release between them.
His orgasm roared through his mind and body, tensing his muscles and wiping out all rational thought in exchange for pure, animal need.
He licked, sucked, and ate at Brian’s mouth, jaw, and earlobe, pulled at his hair, and dragged his fingertips down his back.
“Brian!” He arched his back, another wave of bliss crashing through him.
“Oh, lord.” They clung together, chests heaving and skin slick with sweat and semen. “That was incredible,” Keith said.
“It was.” Brian’s voice was rough and breathless.
“I want to do it again.”
Brian barked out a weak laugh. “I appreciate your stamina, but can I catch my breath first? That nearly killed me.”
“Breathing is overrated. I’m willing to give up oxygen if it means I can listen to you moan and see the pleasure on your face again.
” Talking about Brian’s orgasm reminded him that the remains of it were streaked across him so he wedged his fingers between them, dragged them across his skin, and then raised them to his mouth.
“Mmm,” he said as he sucked his fingers clean. “We taste good together.”
Brian’s heart rate had begun to slow but Keith heard it explode, and then he opened his mouth, as if to speak, and whimpered instead.
“Seems like stamina won’t be a problem.” Keith smirked and pressed up against the cock hardening against him. “Let me know if I should do anything differently, okay?” He curled his arms around Brian and held him close as he flipped them so he was on top. “I want to get it right.”
Still gasping for air, Brian wordlessly stared as Keith slid down his torso, licking and kissing his way to his groin.
“You smell so good here.” Keith buried his face in his mate’s balls and inhaled. “Mmm,” he moaned and then took one testicle at a time into his mouth, tasting and savoring.
“Keith,” Brian said brokenly, his trembling hands reaching down. “Ungh.”
His nose bumped against a now stiff dick, and his belly and groin tightened with overwhelming need.
“So beautiful,” he said to himself as rubbed his face over Brian’s shaft, a deep sense of rightness overtaking him.
“My mate.” He wedged himself between Brian’s spread legs and gloried in the feast before him.
Starting with the crown of his mate’s pretty cock, he swiped his tongue across the slit and then took the head into his mouth and sucked.
“Keith!” Brian shouted and bucked. “Yes!”
Glorying in the proof that he was making his mate feel good, he pressed down further, taking more velvety heat into his mouth, before raising his tightened lips up and then down again.
“Ah,” Brian groaned, his thighs shaking. “Ah!”
Not ready for the moment to end, Keith released his mate’s shaft and licked his way to his balls and then grasped his ass and tilted it up before burying his face between Brian’s firm cheeks.
The inhuman sound Brian made was filled with ecstasy and it spurred Keith forward.
He licked Brian’s crease, sucked on his pucker, and stabbed his tongue into his core. All the while moaning happily.
“I’m going to come again.” Brian scrambled for his shaft, hand curling around it. “You’re making me come again.”
Quickly, Keith shot up and covered Brian’s crown with his lips. He sucked and bobbed, wanting to taste his prize, and in seconds, he was rewarded when Brian screamed and shot thick streams of ejaculate into his mouth.
“Mmm,” Keith moaned as he tasted and swallowed, his own body reacting to his mate’s bliss by finding release once again.
“So good.” He looked up to find Brian staring at him and gasping for air, his hair drenched in sweat, his cheeks red, and his mouth gaping.
After giving another kiss to his shaft, Keith moved up his body and curled around him, face tucked into Brian’s neck.
“And we have our entire lives to do it again and again.”
Throughout his life, even when he had managed to sleep, Keith hadn’t slept deeply or soundly. Except for the last week when he had shared a bed with his mate. Brian’s scent and warmth soothed him and their intense physical joinings satisfied him on a bone-deep level, so he was able to truly rest.
As usual, he had woken before Brian, and he was taking the quiet time to catalogue his features. His dark, curly hair, messy from Keith’s fingers. His cheeks, bristly with overnight growth. His lean muscles, covered by glowing skin.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Brian slurred, words still heavy with sleep and eyes still closed. “I’ve worn you out every night for a week. You need rest.”
