A hand raked through his hair, and then Ahm felt Bryce wrap the strands around his fist and hold Ahm to him. His mate moaned and it was a husky, raw sound that sizzled through him. Ahm ran his hands over Bryce’s shoulders and then down his back.
“I can’t stop thinking about taking you,” Bryce said against Ahm’s lips. Ahm should have been frightened at his need for Bryce, a need so deep that it was overpowering. He was seriously considering letting the man take him.
He’d never considered anything like that before. Ahm was the dominant male whenever it came to sex. But with Bryce, his big, strong bear, Ahm was—for the first time in his life—confused about what to do in bed.
Until Bryce bit Ahm’s earlobe with sharp teeth and caught Ahm’s resulting gasp with his kiss-swollen lips. Bryce’s very presence seemed to sink into Ahm’s blood, erasing all logic, robbing his senses and reason until nothing remained of even his soundest mind. The muted part of him that had been living in Ahm his entire life suddenly came to life, whispering to him that he should allow Bryce to claim him in the most primitive way.
“Then take me.” He lay in a pleasure-drowned daze, his limbs tangled with Bryce’s, and his cock heavy with need.
“You are tempting me.” Bryce cupped Ahm’s face, his irises growing darker until they resembled granite. “But if I take you, I’ll mate you.”
“But isn’t that the point?” Ahm asked, his breathing labored.
“And what if tomorrow you decide to deny me again?”
Ahm could see the hesitation and the hurt in Bryce’s eyes. He was truly scared Ahm would turn his back on the man. He couldn’t blame Bryce for his fears. Wasn’t he the one who had instilled them in the man?
“Cormamin estas e’ lle.” Ahm turned his head, kissing Bryce’s palm. “My heart rests inside you.”
Bryce closed his eyes as he hung his head. Ahm could feel the struggle inside his mate. It was almost a living and breathing entity. Ahm didn’t know what else to say to convince Bryce that he wasn’t going to leave his mate’s side. This was it. If the man only knew how much he owned Ahm.
“Don’t fuck this up,” Bryce whispered as he leaned forward and captured Ahm’s lips again, although this time the kiss was neither tender nor soft, but a resounding placement of ownership.
Bryce was claiming Ahm.
Ahm was desperate for air, and was able to catch his breath when Bryce leaned back, ripping Ahm’s shirt from his body. The sound of tearing fabric had his cock hard as steel. Ahm pushed at his pants, kicking them aside as Bryce did the same with his very own. Bryce was naked and powerful. He was the quintessential male with hard muscles that rippled when he moved.
When they came together again, Bryce’s skin was so hot it nearly scorched Ahm. The man was a wall of strength, solid yet yielding. He ran his hands over Bryce’s pecs, and then leaned forward, taking one peaked nipple into his mouth.
Bryce hissed as he grabbed the back of Ahm’s head, holding him close, murmuring words of encouragement. Ahm teased his mate’s flesh with teeth and tongue, his hands mapping out every line, every ridge on the man’s body. He rasped his tongue over his mate’s chest, an exquisite ache pulsing through him.
Ahm felt Bryce’s hand reach between them as he feasted on his mate’s body. Parting his legs, Ahm was desperate to feel Bryce’s wicked fingers press inside his body.
“Shit, I need lube.” Bryce pulled back for just a second, grabbing the bottle from the nightstand. It only took seconds to coat his fingers, and then they were once again pressing against Ahm’s ass.
“There is no going back.” Bryce breathed out roughly.
“I don’t want to go back.” Ahm was barely able to speak or think as he felt Bryce inch inside him with each shallow stroke of his finger.
“As long as you know that fucking you will bind my bear to you for all eternity,” Bryce said to Ahm, his voice rough, filled with lust.
Ahm moaned in pleasure as another finger joined the first to stretch him with delicious heat. The incredible, sensual feel of Bryce’s fingers damn near made Ahm come. Feeling any part of Bryce inside of him sent a thousand heated sensations rushing through his system.
Bryce grinned with a sensual, tempting curve of his lips. “You like feeling me inside of you.” Ahm’s dick jerked in excitement at the carnality of Bryce’s voice.
Ahm leaned up. “I hope more than your fingers are going to slip inside of me,” he murmured at Bryce’s ear.
Bryce slipped a third finger inside Ahm’s ass. “Be careful what you beg me for, sex kitten.” The words were spoken in a low warning growl. “You have no idea how badly I want you.” Bryce’s body moved powerfully, his hands lifting Ahm as the thick head of his mate’s cock lodged against the entrance to his ass.
