17. Chapter Fifteen
Chapter Fifteen
T hey ate at the kitchen table, which proved to be much more chaotic than Lucas thought a simple dinner should be.
He sat next to Bennett, who was currently shoveling in his food as if it was his last meal before his execution.
Lucas watched. All the brothers ate like that for some reason.
He met Kristin’s gaze. “We’ll all shift later and that takes a bit out of us. ”
“Oh, yeah. It’s the same for me,” Lucas said, completely understanding how much energy it took to be paranormal sometimes.
“What’s the same for you?”
“When I let the light out, I get very tired. Well, I do when I don’t mean to let it out. I’m getting better at controlling it. A lot better.” Lucas told Kristin. He liked her. She had an intelligence in her eyes that Lucas found intriguing.
He turned to Mother Estelle. “I’m getting better, right?” He needed her praise for some reason he couldn’t explain. He never even needed his mother’s approval as much as he needed Mother Estelle’s. Maybe it was because she was like him, a witch, but wiser about the magic stuff .
“So how often can you…” Kristin waved her hand. “Before you pass out?”
Lucas shrugged. He didn’t know how to answer.
“Multiple times when he’s healing. When he’s taking a life probably twice before he’s so drained, he passes out. More than that and it would probably kill him,” Mother Estelle answered for him.
Bennett growled low in his throat. He set his fork down on his plate before turning to Ramsey.
“He won’t do it for the clan. I don’t care what kind of sob story each of them has.
He won’t fix whatever problems they have.
And he won’t kill for us, not at the expense of himself.
And we need to mention the vampire scout coming to town. The clan needs to be on alert.”
Ramsey nodded, completely agreeing on all counts, which was a relief.
“Lucas has tremendous control for his age. Most witches don’t have nearly as much power and it’s hard for them to control until they're over forty. Why don’t you show Ramsey what you can do?
” Mother Estelle ignoring the vampire comment put Lucas at ease.
He’d rather not think about the vampire coven.
Let me get through dinner before I have to revisit that shitstorm.
“Sure. It’ll go to whoever is ill or come back to me.
” Lucas put his fork down and pulled up a small ball of light.
It appeared right in front of his chest and he brought it to his hand.
He moved it around on his fingers like a toy ball.
After a full minute the light went back into him and he picked up his fork again.
“Thank God you’re on our side. Holy shit, Ramsey. Did you see that?” Vaughan said.
“Don’t curse at the table, Vaughan Patrick,” Estelle said, making Lucas chuckle. Forrest, who sat on the other side of him, snorted out a laugh, bumping his shoulder .
“Stop it you two, or you’ll be on dish duty,” Estelle pointed to them with her fork. The scolding shut them both up. Lucas got a warm feeling in his chest at the fact that she had included him as if he was one of her kids.
Told you. Once she thinks of you as family, you always will be. Bennett smiled.
“Oh please, can you keep making fun of Vaughan? It’s mine and Bennett’s turn at the dishes.” Ladon had his hands together as if begging.
Bennett winked. Which made Lucas blush. Something about the shared secret hidden in that one small gesture had Lucas thinking all kinds of naughty thoughts. Bennett took a bite of his potatoes.
Lucas watched his mouth as he chewed. Bennett had the sexiest mouth. He thought about that mouth, licking around his ass, his tongue in his hole. He projected that to Bennett and Bennett choked a little. Lucas patted him on the back.
“Are you okay?”
Bennett lifted his eyebrows. Bennett’s mouth turned up into a small smile right before an image popped into Lucas’ mind. It was of them fucking in a meadow, Bennett’s cock in his ass.
Bennett grinned.
Lucas adjusted his cock under the table. “That was so not fair.”
“You started it.”
“Okay, fine. You want to play like that.” Lucas projected an image of them from the other night. He was rubbing all over Bennett at first, just as he had before. Only Bennett’s cock slipped into his ass and Lucas rode him.
Bennett’s eyes changed to his dragon’s. He scooted his chair back from the table. It scraped against the hardwood floor. “Lucas and I forgot something at home. We’ll be back in time for the clan meeting.”
Bennett grabbed Lucas’ hand and pulled him up. Lucas chuckled as they made their way through the house. “Bennett Alexander, you better be back in time to help Ladon clean the dishes.”
“Don’t worry mom. It’ll be quick. Like two minutes,” Vaughan said and chuckled.
“Fuck you, Vaughan,” Bennett yelled as they made their way out of the house. They were in the truck and Bennett had it moving down the road even before Lucas had his seatbelt on.
Lucas’ back hit the hallway wall even as Bennett licked at his lips.
Bennett demanded that Lucas open his mouth and he was more than happy to oblige.
Bennett held Lucas’ hands above his head with his wrist trapped with one firm grip and worked his way under Lucas’ shirt.
His touch heated Lucas’ skin, and Lucas couldn’t stay still.
He moaned when Bennett worked on the button of his jeans.
Then the zipper went down and Bennett rubbed his palm over Lucas’ hard length.
Lucas broke the kiss, crying out when Bennett gripped his cock through the fabric of his underwear. Bennett kissed Lucas’ cheek and then right in front of his ear.
“Tell me what you want,” Bennett whispered.
“I want you to touch me.” His voice sounded husky with lust, even to his own ears.
Bennett cupped his balls and rolled them in his palm. “Where to do you want me to touch you?”
“God, Bennett, stop teasing me.”
He could feel Bennett’s lips turn up into a smile. “Tell me.”
“My ass. Touch my ass.”
Bennett grinned and moved off the wall. “That’s what I thought.”
He grabbed Lucas’ hand, walking them both down the hall toward the bedroom. As soon as they were inside, he took off Lucas’ shirt. Lucas unbuttoned his jeans, his hands shaking as he pushed them down. Once he was naked, he attacked Bennett’s jeans.
“It was rude of us to leave right in the middle of dinner,” Lucas focused on exposing Bennett’s body
“Mom understood why.”
“That so doesn’t help at all. Now she knows we’re having sex.” Lucas took Bennett’s cock in hand.
“It’s not just sex, baby. Not with you. Get on the bed and I’ll show you.”
Lucas stepped back, letting go of Bennett’s cock. He hooked a thumb under the waistband of his underwear and took them off right before he climbed onto the bed. He got on his hands and knees, waiting for Bennett to touch him again.
Bennett ran his hand over Lucas’ ass. “You’re beautiful, baby.”
He looked at his mate over his shoulder, at that chiseled chest and lean waist. His eyes travelled down to the cock that jutted toward Lucas.
Lucas moaned when Bennett ran a finger along the crack of his ass gently, not pushing in, but just feeling it.
“You are so perfect, baby. So sexy with it offered up to me.”
“I’m yours.”
Bennett’s eyes changed at Lucas’ words, as if saying them out loud for the first time was enough to turn Bennett on.
Lucas pushed into the touch, wanting more.
He whimpered when Bennett took his fingers away, but his mate didn’t go very far.
Bennett spread his ass cheeks apart and then Lucas had to shut his eyes at the delicious anticipation when he felt Bennett’s breath ghost over his hole.
It wasn’t long before he felt wet heat press into him.
Bennett moaned against him and it was as if Lucas could feel the vibrations of it on his cock. He licked at his ass again. Lucas couldn’t help but grind down on that tongue .
“Fuck,” Lucas shouted when Bennett slid a digit into him, swiping over his prostate.
At the same time, Bennett licked at his balls, drawing them into his mouth gently.
Lucas couldn’t help but cry out again at the pleasure of it.
It had been a while since he had had sex and Bennett’s gentleness felt perfect.
Bennett was perfect.
Lucas fucked himself until one became two.
Each time Bennett touched that magic spot, a small orgasm worked through Lucas’ body.
He couldn’t keep still. He barely felt the arm as it came around his waist, flipping him onto his back, the fingers in his ass leaving him briefly before entering him again.
Bennett looked at him with his dragon eyes. “You’re really tight, baby.”
He blinked up at Bennett, watching him as he leaned over and opened the bedside drawer. Bennett fumbled around with the cap on the lube bottle, finally opening it and squirting some out onto his fingers. He threw the bottle down beside Lucas before sliding into him again.
Lucas had a hard time concentrating on anything but the fullness. He liked the feeling. Always had.
“You’re so responsive.”
He rocked against the fullness and tried not to come. His balls tightened. “Please, Bennett. I’m close.”
“You will not come until I’m inside you,” Bennett growled.
Lucas nodded and clung as Bennett lifted him farther on the bed.
He longed to feel Bennett’s weight on him, making him feel safe and loved all at the same time.
He needed to take in his scent and warmth.
That was why, when Bennett tried to release him, Lucas held on as if his life depended on the physical closeness .
“Aw, Baby. You should have told me you needed me like this.” Bennet settled against him once again, relaxing his body. His cock pressed against Lucas’ opening but neither needed anything more for the moment. They pressed their cheeks together. Stubble abraded Lucas’ skin but he still didn’t care.
“I didn’t know I needed to feel your weight on me until now.”
It wasn’t until Lucas wrapped his legs around Bennett’s waist and his cock slipped in a little bit, that either of them moved.
Lucas whimpered.
“Shh. I’ve got you, mate. I’ll always give you what you need.” And true to his word, Bennett pushed inside.
The fullness was back and with it, pressure. “Am I hurting you?”
Lucas nodded. “A little.”
“Fuck. I’m sorry, baby. Do you want to stop?”
“No!” Lucas held on to him tighter and tried to take more of Bennett’s cock inside. Bennett got the message but went slower. The head of his cock pressed against Lucas’ prostate and made his blood boil with passion. He cried out when he tried to get more of that delicious feeling. “Oh God.”
“Don’t you come until I’m all the way in,” Bennett whispered, his voice going husky and he breathed heavily.
“Yes. Okay. Just. More. Yeah, just like that. That’s perfect, Benny.”
Bennett pulled back out a little and then worked it back in again, giving Lucas exactly what he asked for. Lucas felt Bennett’s mouth turn up into a smile as he kept going. Finally, Bennett was all the way in.
“So full.” Lucas breathed out and then in again, letting it out slowly.
Bennett lifted, meeting his gaze. “Are you okay?”
“I’m good. Really, really good. Move. Please.”
Bennett smiled and kissed him .
Bennett’s teeth came down. He set a rhythm that drove Lucas crazy in the best way possible.
Lucas sucked in a breath. “Oh, Benny. I’m gonna. Fuck, please let me come. Please.”
Bennett picked up his pace, growling out when he did. “Not yet, baby.”
Lucas moaned and shut his eyes at the buildup.
He tried to think about anything else, but it was impossible when Bennett was wrapped around him, pumping in and out.
Lucas opened his eyes in time to see Bennett bare his teeth.
Lucas tilted his head, submitting to his mate who didn’t waste time.
He struck Lucas’ neck, reaffirming their bond.
Lucas felt Bennett’s pleasure through their link, and it sent him over the edge.
Lucas cried out as he wasn’t sure whose orgasm he felt more, his own or Bennett’s.
Lucas could feel the pull of his blood as Bennett drank from him, as if he was drinking it himself.
He felt how much Bennett liked the taste.
Bennett’s movements grew erratic and he stilled.
The teeth left his neck as Bennett cried out.
He drew out the pleasure as much as possible.
Bennett licked the drops of blood away from his neck, sealing the wounds he made.
Bennett rubbed his cheek against Lucas like a big cat. His dragon started to purr, which sounded more like a rumbling, steady growl.
“Mmmm. I like it when you’re all cuddly,” Lucas whispered to him.
“Only with you.”
Lucas smiled. “Forrest told me that shifters can’t get diseases and stuff.”
“No.”
“That’s good, because we didn’t use a condom.”
“Yeah. ”
Lucas slid his hand down Bennett’s back all the way to his ass, gripping one globe. Bennett flexed his muscles, pushing his softening cock farther in, not that it would go very far. “Benny, have you ever…um…bottomed?”
“No.”
“Would you?” Lucas bit his lip when Bennett lifted up and looked at him.
“Are you telling me that you still aren’t satisfied after that?”
“No, I don’t mean right this second.” Lucas rolled his eyes. Who could go another round after that? “I just mean like…would you ever?”
Bennett shrugged. “I’d try it. Sure.” Bennett wriggled his eyebrows. “Might be sexy to watch you top me. You have a pretty cock, baby.”
“Hmm, I don’t know why I’m thinking about topping someone, now.” Lucas didn’t realize he said that out loud until Bennett growled at him.
“What? What did I say?”
“Not just someone. Me. No one else will ever touch you again. Or I’ll kill them.”
Lucas rolled his eyes. “I know that, silly. It’s just an expression. I meant you. But I’ve never topped anyone, ever. I don’t have a lot of experience with sex, period, actually.”
Bennett kissed him, a gentle press of the lips, and then pulled back a little. “You aren’t scared of me anymore, are you?”
Lucas snorted out a laugh. “Bennett, you’re on top of me and your naked wet cock is slipping out of my ass. We wouldn’t be here right now if I was scared of you.”
Bennett’s softened cock slipped all the way out. “Want to join me in the shower?” Lucas asked, as he loosened his legs from around Bennett’s waist .
Bennett grinned, lighting up those green eyes in a way that was reserved for Lucas.
Lucas already knew Bennett didn’t look at anyone else like that, not even his mother or siblings.
That sparkle in his eyes made Lucas feel special, which was exactly what Bennett had been trying to tell him the entire time.
Duh. It took Lucas long enough to understand how incredibly unique Bennett truly thought he was. Maybe they really were perfect for each other.
