CHAPTER THREE #2
"I got you, babe, don't worry," Gabriel growled into Ben's ear.
"I'll take care of you." He lifted him and moved him to the center of the bed and abruptly rolled him onto his side. He massaged Ben’s entrance.
The lubricant was mixed with his own release and was drenching Gabriel's fingers, and the sharp, yet sweet scent was pushing him to the edge of his control.
"You don't need to control yourself, Gabriel. I trust you, and I need you; I need all of you. Please don't hold back." Ben seemed to read his mind the bond was seamlessly stitching them together, thoughts and feelings becoming one. It was beautiful; all of it was beautiful.
Gabriel trailed his tongue across Ben's shoulder and then followed by nibbling at the soft flesh, alternately kissing and biting and sending his beloved into a wanton haze of gasps and cries for more.
"I need you, Gabriel. I need you so badly.
" Ben's plea was lovely and impatient, but Gabriel was going at his own speed, taking his time and learning everything about his beloved.
The bonding had been fast and fierce, both their desires and biology forcing the claim, but now they could slow down and play.
His little wolf was boneless and needy and pushed all of Gabriel's protective buttons.
He wanted to wrap him tight and never let him go; he wanted to make love to him on repeat for days and then hold him and drink in the sheer presence and power of this beauty. He used his fingers to stretch him, sinking deep into his tight channel as his wolf panted and begged Gabriel for more.
***
Ben was flying so high he couldn’t see the ground, but he knew he was okay because the most wonderful person in the world was holding him, pleasuring him and telling him he was enough.
The vampire he feared would deny him was calling him his own and claiming him with no delays or hesitation.
Sensations and thrills buzzed through him, and he could not keep the begging for more from his lips.
Gabriel entered him again, and he was filled with the same completeness that promised and demanded.
The ecstasy was electrifying, and Ben felt his eyes roll back in his head; the touch of his mate and the aromas filling the room destroyed him in the best way possible.
This was so perfect it was hard for him to believe it was real.
"Tremble for me, baby. Tell me you want me, tell me you want this." The words were true and heartfelt. Ben could see the honesty and the depth in Gabriel's heart. The vampire desired him, ached for him, cherished him.
"I want you, and I want this. I want everything you have to give me." Ben rasped out the declaration, feeling it all just as deeply as Gabriel had. He was wrapped in his arms, pressed with his back to Gabriel's chest as he thrust inside harder and harder, his control on the very edge.
Ben bent his head and bit softly into Gabriel's forearm where it crossed his chest he needed the grounding that the bite provided.
The response was Gabriel tightening his grip like a vice and coming so fiercely that he trembled with the release.
Ben held with his teeth and absorbed the wild energy exploding in the room.
The exhilaration revitalized and rejuvenated, giving Ben a sense of being permanent and unbreakable.
“Unbreakable baby, absolutely unbreakable.” Gabriel had felt it too and picked up on Ben’s turbulent thoughts.
Gabriel sunk his teeth into the claiming scar and tasted him once again, strengthening their new bond and sending unbearably intense waves of pleasure down Ben's spine, and he came, covering the bedspread beneath him.
Gabriel pulled his teeth free and licked the scar before running his fingers through Ben's essence and raising his finger to his lips. He tasted him, and it was the most erotic thing Ben had ever seen.
James had his omega lovers do many things, and Ben had thought he’d witnessed most of what could happen between couples, but this was so tender and personal. This simple act heated and soothed and brought him so much closer to the man that owned him.
"You taste lovely," Gabriel whispered against Ben's ear and delivered hot, wet kisses down his neck and across his shoulder. Gabriel kept thrusting in shallow movements that continued to titillate and excite. "I will never get enough of you even if we live forever."
Gabriel pulled him back and away from the wet spot on the spread and turned him, so they were facing each other.
He did not let him out of his embrace, and Ben was very pleased to be cradled so lovingly in his arms. He hadn’t known the touch of another for several years, not since James had decided that Ben belonged to him and yet never claimed him or showed him any particular regard.
It was an odd arrangement that he never understood, and as the years passed, the positive regard he'd held for James deteriorated with the near constant abuse and humiliation until nothing was left except hatred and loathing.
James treated him like garbage, even worse than garbage, taking perverse pleasure in his pain and degradation.
"What are you thinking? You've tensed, and your scent is turning acrid.
What's wrong?" Of course, Gabriel would pick up on his thoughts.
Why did he let James infect everything with his toxicity?
"Does it have something to do with the man you were forced to observe throughout the banquet?
Was James Fowl punishing you?" This time it was Gabriel's scent that sharpened.
"James Fowl doesn't matter anymore, and I don't want to taint this evening with discussions about him.
" Ben knew that they would have to discuss him at some point, but this was too wonderful a night to have him there in thought or words.
Gabriel looked at him with those piercing dark eyes that saw right to his soul for several seconds, and then he nodded.
"Tomorrow we will talk. Tonight is just you and me and no one else." Gabriel's tone was deep, and it scraped sensually across Ben's body, leaving him hard and wanting once more.
"Tonight is ours," Ben stated and took Gabriel's lips in a possessive kiss that surprised even him with its ferocity.
