A Moment in Time(10)

Apollo went with it, grabbing Grayson's hips and pounding into the man  as fast and as hard as he could. The sounds of Grayson's cries mingled  with the sound of their flesh slapping together.

It was heaven to Apollo's ears.

"Spread your legs, baby."

Apollo swallowed hard as Grayson did just as he commanded. The man's  knees spread apart. Apollo reached under Grayson and wrapped his hand  around Grayson's cock. He started stroking the man with each thrust of  his hips. The faster he pounded into Grayson's tight ass, the faster he  stroked the man's cock.

"I want to hear your pleasure, Gray."

Grayson's sweet sounds filling the room. The more Apollo touched him,  the more he loved on him, the louder Grayson became. The tight, inner  muscles wrapped around his cock rippled and dragged Apollo to the edge,  but he'd be damned if he'd blow before his lover did.

Apollo turned his head and bit into Grayson's shoulder, hard. Grayson  roared and shot all over Apollo's hand. The scent of Grayson's spunk  wafted into the air, filling Apollo's senses. Apollo growled and thrust  into Grayson's tight ass one last time.

His teeth sank further into Grayson's shoulder as his orgasm hit him  with the force of a freight train. He shuddered as Grayson's sweet,  coppery taste filled his mouth. Apollo felt like his body had gone up in  flames as he filled Grayson's ass with his release. His skin prickled  with sensation, the very air around him seeming to caress him as if  trying to draw out his climax until Apollo's legs shook.

Fuck!

He'd been pretty rough with Grayson. He might even have left bruises on  Grayson's hips with how hard he was gripping them. Apollo hoped not. He  knew he would be beside himself if he hurt his mate.

He leaned over Grayson's body as he tried to regain his control, a  control he willing gave up to his sub. He could feel Grayson's heart  beating against him as he planted small kisses along Grayson's  collarbone.

"Are you okay, Grayson?" Apollo asked as he pushed the blindfold up off Grayson's head.

Grayson blinked several times and then smiled. "I'm perfect."

Apollo grinned as he carefully pulled free of Grayson's body then  reached down onto the floor to grab Grayson's shirt. He cleaned Grayson  up then himself then dropped the shirt over the side of the mattress.  Apollo collapsed down on the bed next to Grayson and curved himself  around his mate's body.







He was still reeling from the orgasm that had racked his body, hitting  every nerve and taking him to heights of ecstasy he had never felt  before. His muscles felt like he had just run a marathon.

He just wanted to lie there with Grayson wrapped up in his arms and  pretend the rest of the world didn't exist. For the first time in as  long as he could remember, Apollo felt content.

"I have to go."

Apollo groaned and buried his face in Grayson's hair. "Not yet."

"I'll be back."

Apollo sighed because he knew he wasn't going to get out of this conversation. "You can't promise that, Grayson."

Grayson rolled over onto his side, fitting his body against Apollo's.  His smoky blue eyes were filled with regret and trepidation. "No, I  can't promise that I'll come back, but I can promise to try with  everything in me."

That wasn't nearly good enough, but Apollo didn't know how to make it  better. He curled his hand around the back of Grayson's neck, smoothing  his thumb over the man's skin. "What can I do to insure you do come back  to me?"

"I have to find a home for what is left of my pack, Apollo."

"I'll talk to Iben." Apollo had no idea doubt that Iben would readily  accept Grayson's pack members into Aberdeen pack. The alpha would be up  in arms over what had happened to Grayson's pack.

"Is he a good alpha?"

Apollo grinned. "The best. He's one of the reasons my brothers and I decided to settle here."

"Brothers?" Grayson cocked an eyebrow. "Not those two men I saw on the front porch with you earlier."

"You were watching me?"

Grayson's face flushed. "I had to see you."

Apollo leaned in and brushed his lips against Grayson's. He loved how  open the man was. Grayson held nothing back. Apollo knew exactly where  he stood just by the adoring look in the man's eyes.

"Come with me to see Iben."

Grayson's eyebrows peeked. "You call him Iben?"

Apollo chuckled. "He's a pretty easygoing alpha until you try to hurt someone he cares about, and then all bets are off."

"He sounds like-oh damn, that's my phone," Grayson said when a sudden  ringing noise filled the room. Grayson moved over the top of Apollo and  leaned down to grab his pants off the floor. A moment later, he held a  cell phone up to his ear.

"Hello … Brandon, what's wrong?" When Grayson's face drained of color,  Apollo knew it couldn't be good. "No, no, you did the right thing. I'll  meet you in that little clearing behind the house. Keep everyone quiet  and hidden until I get there … No, I can be there in thirty minutes … Okay,  good … No, stay calm, Brandon. It's going to be okay. I found a place for  us to go … Yes, all of us." Grayson's lips thinned. "No, just get everyone  packed up and take them to the clearing. I'll be there just as soon as I  can."

By the time Grayson hung up the phone, Apollo was as tense as he was. "Let me guess, you have to go."

Grayson grimaced as he glanced over his shoulder, already reaching for  his pants to pull them on. "That was Brandon. He said someone is  snooping around the house where everyone is hiding."

"Shit!" Apollo scooted to the edge of the bed and jumped up, hurrying to  his dresser. He pulled on his clothes just as fast as he could, tossing  Grayson the biggest shirt he had. He had used Grayson's to clean them  up.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going with you."

"You can't."

Apollo stopped tying his boots and glanced up. "What do you mean I  can't? I'm your mate. Where else do you expect me to be except by your  side?"

"I need you to go to your alpha and ask his permission for us to come into his territory."

As much as he wanted to argue, Apollo knew Grayson was right. He needed  to go see Iben not just to find if his alpha would accept some new  members but because he to get help to bring those new members to  Aberdeen Valley.

This wasn't something he could do over the phone.

"Give me a minute." Apollo ran out of the bedroom, almost tripping over  his feet in his haste to get down the stairs. He hurried to office he  shared with his roommates and started pulling desk drawers open until he  found a map of the area.

"What are you doing?"

Apollo glanced up to find Grayson standing in the doorway. He quickly  opened the map and spread it out over the top of the desk. "I need you  to show me where this house is. Iben is going to want to send help."







"Really?"

"Yes, but even if he didn't, we would still have my brothers to back us up."

"Us?" Grayson's voice was a mere whisper.

Apollo glanced up again. "Of course us." He frowned at the surprise on  his mate's face. "Did you think I would abandon you to deal with this  all on your own?"

"No, but … " Grayson shrugged. "I'm kind of used to having to deal with  this all on my own. I guess I never expected to have someone in my  corner."

"Well, then it's about damn time you had someone in your corner, isn't  it?" Apollo pointed down to the map. "Now, where is this damn house?"

Grayson walked over and studied the map for a moment before pointing to a  spot about twenty miles outside of Aberdeen Pack territory. It wasn't  in Sanchez Pack territory either, so Apollo would have to ask Iben whose  territory it was.

Right after he got everyone to safety in Aberdeen Valley.

"You head out and get your pack, bring them back this way," Apollo  directed. Every instinct he had screamed at him to go with Grayson, but  logic said he needed to get help first. "I'll get Iben and my brothers  and come help."

"Shouldn't I wait until I have your alpha's permission to enter his territory?"

"Did you wait last time?"

Grayson's face flushed, much to Apollo's delight. "No, but-"

Apollo could see the apprehension in Grayson's smoky blue eyes, and it  ate at his heart. "Grayson, I promise you that Iben will accept you, all  of you, into the pack." He smiled as tucked a strand of dark hair  behind Grayson's ear. "And if he doesn't, we'll find another pack that  will."

It was a moot point because Apollo knew Iben would accept Grayson and  the remaining members of his pack. But he needed to say something that  would reassure his mate. Grayson's eyes were rounded, his skin pale and  sweaty. He looked like he was on the verge of falling apart.

Not a good look on such a handsome man.

"You'd do that?" Grayson asked.

Apollo's smile slid from his face as he stepped closer to his mate, his  cock twitching at the closeness to his mate. "You're my mate. I go where  you go."
