Chapter 30
Relax? Jamie was killing him. Aiden closed his eyes and silently counted to twenty. When he finished, he was no calmer than before. He let out a ragged sigh and opened his eyes.
Jamie was hovering over him, concern etching his features. Aiden ached to touch him but obediently kept his hands above his head. “What’s next?”
Jamie grinned. “You stay there, and I try to get my mate to settle down.” He kissed his lips once and then moved to each cheek. “Your job is to stay calm and think soothing thoughts. If you can’t do that, we’ll have to stop and try another day.”
“Soothing thoughts,” his phoenix barked. “Another day! The only thing that’ll make me feel better is being close to my mate.”
“Hush,” Aiden implored his beast.
His mate was certifiable if he thought there was any way he’d be able to relax with his naked body draped over him but, damn it, he’d try.
Aiden forced himself not to move as Jamie kissed his way down his neck, nipping and sucking as he went. He then lifted Aiden’s shirt and pulled it up and over his head. When Aiden attempted to help him, he tut-tutted, and Aiden froze. Jamie made a pleased sound deep in his throat and continued his ministrations down Aiden’s chest. He spent considerable time on each nipple, causing Aiden’s cock to leak. He was too far gone to be embarrassed. All his focus was on staying as calm as possible so Jamie didn’t stop.
“Well, what do we have here?” Jamie had made his way down to the bulge between his legs. He unfastened the button and unzipped Aiden’s jeans.
Aiden lifted his head to survey the scene. Jamie was staring at his hard cock. He ran a finger along his length, causing Aiden to practically jump off the mattress.
“Oh, fuck,” Aiden muttered under his breath.
Jamie raised his head to look Aiden in the face. He climbed back up over his chest and rubbed Aiden’s upper arms. “How’re you doing? Are your arms sore?”
“Noo,” Aiden growled. “Something else is.”
Jamie lowered Aiden’s arms so they were at his sides. “You still need to keep these still. No touching. Not until I say so, alright?”
“Yeah,” Aiden croaked.
Jamie maneuvered Aiden’s jeans down his body and threw them off the side of the bed. He then climbed back up so that his head was directly over Aiden’s pelvis. Jamie bent his head, and then Aiden saw stars. He felt the hot, wet heat of Jamie’s mouth around his cock.
“Oh God, Oh God,” Aiden babbled. It felt so good. This wasn’t his first time on the receiving end of oral sex, but it felt like his first time all over again. He’d never been intimate with anyone he cared about like Jamie. His hands clenched the bed sheets with each pull of Jamie’s mouth. Jamie used his hand in concert with his mouth, sucking and pulling at Aiden’s cock until he let out a deep moan.
“I can’t… I’m going to… It’s too much… too good,” Aiden stuttered.
Jamie only redoubled his efforts, sucking and caressing until Aiden came with a shout. Jamie continued to suck and rub until Aiden flinched. “Too much… too sensitive.”
“It’s OK. I’ve got you,” Jamie said.
Aiden felt Jamie rub one hand down his thigh as if to sooth him. His mind was fuzzy. He felt like he was floating on top of a thick, white cloud. When the fog cleared, he glanced down and saw Jamie staring at him with a soft smile.
He panted. “That was… That was…”
Jamie leaned up, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and gave him a sultry look. He kissed Aiden’s abdomen, then chest, then the tip of his nose. “I know.”
“Can I touch you now?” Aiden asked, breathing as if he’d finished a long run in the heat.
Jamie crawled up to lie pressed up against Aiden’s side. “Yes.”
Aiden rolled over, wrapping both arms around Jamie, and kissed him deeply. He tasted himself on Jamie’s tongue. He leaned back to stare at his mate. “That was the hottest thing that I’ve ever experienced.”
“Yeah?”
Aiden nodded.
“Well, that’s only the beginning. And your phoenix behaved himself so… winning!” he teased.
Aiden kissed Jamie again and then rested his forehead against his. “Wait, do you want me to, you know?”
Jamie huffed a laugh. “Yes, of course, but not now. This was about you and your phoenix. We’ll have plenty of time for more later.”
“What do you want to do now?” Aiden’s question ended in a deep yawn.
“Nap, then food,” Jamie said, his voice laced with humor. He rolled onto his side. “Come on, you be the big spoon.”
Aiden was only too happy to oblige.
