Chapter 6 Michael
MICHAEL
The moment I told Davey we were fated mates, the air between us changed.
My wolf was desperate to claim what was ours, and every second we waited felt like torture. I'd waited my entire life for this moment, and now that my mate was in my arms, I couldn’t wait any longer.
"Your knot…" Davey’s voice was trembling with need as he kissed every part of my skin he could reach. “Need it.”
I pulled back to trace my thumb across his bottom lip while I hovered over him, drinking in the sight of my omega. My mate.
His chest moved rapidly beneath the thin fabric of his pajamas, and I could hear his heart racing, matching the frantic pace of my own.
"I need to see all of you." I tugged at the hem of his shirt to drive home my point.
Davey nodded and lifted his arms, allowing me to pull the shirt over his head. I tossed it aside and stared down at his exposed chest.
Beautiful. Strong. Mine.
My fingers traced the contours of his muscles, memorizing each dip and curve. His skin pebbled with goosebumps in the wake of my touch. Leaning down, I pressed my lips to his sternum and felt his heartbeat against my mouth. "You're perfect."
His fingers found their way to my hair, and he gently tugged until I was looking at his face. "I’m sure you are too, but I wouldn’t know because you're wearing too many clothes."
I chuckled against his chest and sat back on my heels to pull my shirt over my head in one fluid motion.
Davey’s eyes widened at the sight of my bare torso. "Holy shit." His hands immediately reached out to touch my abs. "You're like a fucking statue."
I preened under his admiration, enjoying the way our omega approved of our strength. "All the better to protect you with."
His fingers traced the lines of my muscles down to the waistband of my jeans. "These need to go too."
I stood beside the bed and unbuttoned my jeans before shoving them down in one swift movement. My cock sprang free, already hard and heavy between my legs.
Davey's eyes went wide, and he swallowed audibly. "That's...wow."
"I’m a big wolf." I winked at him with a grin. "Everything's proportional."
He licked his lips, and my cock twitched in response. "I'm not complaining."
I hooked my fingers into the waistband of his pajama bottoms. "Now you. Fair's fair."
Davey lifted his hips and allowed me to slide his pajamas down his legs. The scent of his sweet slick hit me immediately. My nostrils flared, and a growl rumbled deep in my chest before I tossed the sticky fabric to the floor.
"You're so wet for me." I lifted his thighs to get a better look at his hard cock and wet opening. "You’re ready for your alpha..."
Davey's cheeks flushed a beautiful shade of pink. "I can't help it. Just looking at you makes me...leak."
I ran my finger through the slick that had dripped down his inner thigh and brought it to my lips. The taste exploded on my tongue, and my wolf howled inside me, demanding I take him now. "Perfect," I whispered. "Absolutely perfect."
Positioned between his spread legs, I trailed my fingers along his thighs to tease him.
His cock lay hard against his stomach, but my eyes were drawn to the glistening opening below. More slick pulsed from him as I watched his body prepare for my knot.
I circled his hole with one finger, collecting the slick and spreading it around the tight ring of muscle.
Davey moaned and arched his back, pushing down against my finger. "Please, Michael." He squirmed and tried to take control. "I need you."
"Shhh, I've got you." I slowly pressed one finger inside him, marveling at the way his body welcomed me in. "I just need to make sure you’re loose enough. I won't hurt you."
One finger became two, and after a minute, two became three. I stretched him carefully, even as his body produced more slick to ease the way. My fingers curled upward and brushed against the bundle of nerves deep inside him.
Davey cried out, his back arching off the bed. “Yes, alpha. There.”
"Almost, sweetheart," I murmured, stroking the spot again and watching him writhe. "You’re so responsive for your mate."
“Fuck.” Davey reached for his dick and started stroking fast as his eyes glazed with desire. "I'm close, but I need your knot."
I withdrew my fingers and lined my thick cock up with his opening. The head of my cock nudged against his slick hole, and I had to grit my teeth against the urge to push forward all at once.
This was our first time, and despite my wolf's impatience, I wanted it to be good for him. "Look at me, Davey."
My omega’s eyes found mine, and I saw everything I was feeling reflected back at me. So much desire, awe, a hint of something deeper. Something we were both just beginning to understand.
"You're mine, omega." I didn’t look away from his eyes as I slowly pushed inside him. "And I'm yours."
The tight heat of his body engulfed me inch by inch as I watched his face for any signs of discomfort.
His mouth fell open in a silent gasp as I sank deeper, stretching him wider than my fingers had. "Yes." He moaned when I was fully seated inside him. "God, yes.”
I stilled halfway in and gave him time to adjust. Sweat beaded on my forehead with the effort it took not to move. But the urge to claim him was overwhelming. "Are you okay?"
"Yes. Keep going. Faster." Davey nodded and shifted his hips experimentally. “I want to feel it.”
Oh, he was gonna feel it.
I started with slow, shallow thrusts, and each time I pushed back in, he made a needy sound that went straight to my cock. Gradually, I increased the pace and depth, encouraged by his moans and the way his body welcomed me.
"Give me your knot, alpha." Davey wrapped his legs around my waist to pull me deeper. "Harder, Michael. I won't break."
Something snapped inside me, and my wolf surged forward. With a growl that vibrated the windows, I pulled almost all the way out before slamming back in.
Davey cried out with a sound of pleasure, not pain.
So, I did it again and again, establishing a punishing rhythm that made the headboard knock against the wall.
"Yes, just like that." Davey’s fingers dug into my shoulders hard enough to bruise as he approached his climax. "Oh god, Michael. Don't stop."
I bent down and dragged my teeth along his neck, feeling his pulse flutter beneath my lips. "Never." I licked over the vein, tasting his salty skin. "Never gonna stop loving you. I’m claiming you now. Making you mine forever."
The base of my cock began to swell as my knot started to form. Each thrust became more difficult as my knot caught at his rim, tugging at the sensitive flesh before pushing back inside.
Davey's eyes widened as he felt the change. "Yes, please…"
"You ready for my knot and my mark?" I slowed my thrusts to make sure he was comfortable. I reached between us and replaced his hand with mine around his weeping cock. I began stroking him in time with my thrusts.
Davey threw his head back and moaned, his entire body tensing with pleasure. "I'm close. So close, alpha."
My own orgasm was building with a tight coil of heat at the base of my spine. The urge to mark him became overwhelming as my wolf clawed at the surface.
"Davey." I groaned against his neck at the juncture where it met his shoulder. "I need to mark you. Make you mine forever."
"Yes!" Davey gasped and tilted his head to give me better access. "Make me yours."
With one final thrust, I buried my knot inside him and sank my teeth into the soft flesh of his neck.
The taste of copper filled my mouth as my teeth broke skin, and Davey tensed beneath me.
For a second, I thought I'd hurt him, but then he screamed my name and came between us as thick ropes of his creamy release painted his stomach and chest.
His body clenched around my knot, waiting to accept my seed as my mark was permanently seared into his skin. It all pushed me over the edge and an orgasm tore through me too, pumping my hot seed deep inside him.
My knot swelled to its full size and locked us together so we were one.
I gently licked at the mark I'd made, using the healing properties of my saliva to seal the wound into a permanent mating bite.
Davey shivered beneath me, his body still trembling with aftershocks. "That was..." He trailed off, seeming unable to find the right words.
I carefully maneuvered us onto our sides with my knot still firmly lodged inside him. "I know, sweetheart. For me too.”
We lay connected in the most intimate way possible as our breathing gradually slowed.
I held him close, with one arm wrapped protectively around his waist and the other stroking his hair. The bite mark on his neck was already healing, turning from angry red to a silvery scar that would forever prove to the world that he was mine.
“Thank you.” He sighed and snuggled closer. "I feel like…I'm finally complete."
“Me too.” I rubbed his side and then pulled the comforter over his cooling skin.
We spent the rest of the night exploring each other's bodies, learning what made the other gasp and moan.
I memorized every freckle and scar and sensitive spot on his body. And when we weren't making love, we talked about our lives and our hopes for the future.
Eventually, the questions slowed down, and I held my mate in my arms as I watched him drift toward sleep with his head on my chest and my mark on his neck.
There was nowhere in the world I'd rather be. "I love you," I whispered against his hair, not sure if he was still awake to hear it.
But Davey stirred and pressed a sleepy kiss to my chest. "I love you too, alpha."
