Fated for Forever(29)

from their large king-size bed.

“You were on death’s door two days ago, please take it easy, for me?” Gabriel asked, tucking the blanket

around his mate.

“If I promise to take it easy can I at least get out of bed? Please?” Ashby batted his eyes. Gabriel sighed.

“OK you can get out of bed, as long as you take it easy. If you feel weak or short of breath or dizzy sit

down and call me.” Gabriel looked around for Ashby’s robe.

“Whoo hoo! I’m free!” Ashby bounced out of bed, heading to the closet to grab some clothes.

“What did I just say about taking it easy?” Gabriel held up the robe. He watched as Ashby pulled on

underwear, jeans, socks, a T-shirt and sweater. Before Doc had left the previous day, Gabriel had made sure

that Ashby had clothes to change into for when he was feeling better. David and Daniel happily went to the

mall shopping for Ashby.

“I love my cashmere sweater, it’s snuggly!” Ashby ran his hands all over the sweater. Gabriel watched

Ashby’s enthusiastic movements and smiled. As he got to know his mate, he realized that Ashby loved the

simplest things in life. Shaking his head, he lay the robe down on the bed.

“So what are your plans for today?” Gabriel asked.

“I need to call Rebecca, she took my getting sick extremely hard. Do you think maybe…” Ashby trailed

off and looked at Gabriel.

“What, my angel?” Gabriel asked, curious.

“Do you think we could send her some of that imported hot chocolate that I love? I know that would

make her feel better,” Ashby asked. Gabriel smiled and went to stand next to Ashby and took him in his

arms.

“You’re always thinking of others, I love that about you.” Gabriel kissed Ashby on the nose. Ashby’s

eyes widened and Gabriel realized what he said. Cupping Ashby’s face Gabriel looked into his eyes.

“Yes, I love you. I’m sorry that it took you nearly dying for me to realize I hadn’t said it yet. But it

doesn’t make it any less true. I fear for my coven if something were to happen to you. I’m not romantic,

you’re not my heart or my breath. You’re my sanity and my humanity.” Gabriel took Ashby’s dazed

expression as permission to capture his lips. He felt Ashby’s breath catch and grinned. Ashby wrapped his

arms around Gabriel’s neck and jumped. He wrapped his legs around his waist and looked into his prince’s

eyes. Gabriel easily supported his weight.

“I love you too. I knew that you were there even when I couldn’t wake up. I could feel you next to me.

You gave me a reason to wake up. I may be your sanity and humanity but you’re my future,” Ashby said

before slamming his mouth onto Gabriel’s. He licked and sucked his mate’s lips as if it were his last meal.

His body had its own agenda and he found himself grinding against his mate’s waist.

“We have to take it easy my angel, I don’t want to hurt you.” Gabriel pulled away for a moment.

“We could suck each other off. That’s not too vigorous,” Ashby said, panting.

“I think you’re right,” Gabriel said, turning and throwing him on the bed. Ashby gave an unmanly

squeak before unbuttoning his jeans and shimmying them down his thighs. He took his hard cock in his

hand and began to stroke it as Gabriel watched.

“I think even if I were dying I’d still want you like this,” Ashby said. Gabriel growled.

“We’ll never find out,” Gabriel quickly stepped out of his slacks revealing that he too was also hard and

ready for his mate.

“Gimme, gimme.” Ashby’s hands reached for Gabriel. Gabriel grinned and climbed onto the bed. He

positioned himself over Ashby in a sixty nine position so that his groin lined up with his mate’s perfect

mouth. He hissed as he felt Ashby’s lips wrap around him. It had been too long since he enjoyed his lover’s

body. Not wanting to neglect his mate he bent his head down and took Ashby’s length down his throat. He

felt Ashby’s mouth leave his body as he gave a strangled moan. He loved driving Ashby insane. He came up

off Ashby’s hard shaft and wrapped his tongue around the head. He used the tip of his tongue and lips to

nibble and dance around the crown and into the slit. His own movements stilled when he felt Ashby’s

mouth on him again. His little mate knew exactly what he wanted and he moaned when he felt Ashby’s

teeth slightly graze his cock. He lifted his mouth off of Ashby’s hard prick and slicked up one of his own

fingers with his mouth. When his head dipped again to swallow Ashby down he pressed single digit into
