After a laugh, Terry nodded. "Got it. Now, about the bachelor party."
Jared grinned and nodded. "Sure. What are we doing?" As he listened to Terry, Jared really only thought about one thing. How am I gonna convince Carson to come as my date?
Chapter Four
Carson stepped out of his car and inhaled deeply. He frowned and shook his head. He'd been smelling his mate all day, even though he knew the man wasn't around. Even here at home he thought he detected a whiff of Jared's scent. It was distracting as hell at work and he needed to get his head on straight.
Letting out a sigh, he strode up his walk, unlocked his front door and entered his home. A wall of Jared's scent nearly had Carson's eyes crossing as blood raced to his groin and his dick stiffened in his tan slacks.
"Welcome home, darling." The teasing voice had him whirling to the left and Carson found the object of his obsession sprawled across his couch. Lust bolted through him, followed closely by anger. A snarl tore from his lips as he stalked toward his mate. His wolf wanted to dominate the man, to teach him who the alpha in this relationship would be, but Carson reined in that desire. He didn't know if he would try to claim Jared and until he made a decision, he refused to flirt with the man.
He leaned over the man, placed both hands on the back of the couch on either side of Jared's head and used his body to box him in and get into his personal space. "What are you doing in my house?" he growled.
Much to his consternation, Jared didn't seem the least bit intimidated by his display. He grinned up at him. "I came to apologize." "Apologize?" he repeated inanely. The human's answer left him more confused and even a bit pissed off that he'd just repeated it like that. He leaned closer until his nose was only inches from his mate's. Probably not the best tactic. Trying to focus as Jared's scent tantalized his senses, Carson sneered, "Do you break into people's houses to apologize often?"
Jared's grin managed to grow. "Actually," he whispered back, "you have the honor of being the first person I've apologized to in over ten years." His mate's eyes sparkled with what only could be described as mischief. "I also wanted to know if it was a fluke."
"A fluke?" he asked before he could control his tongue. Carson immediately wanted to smack himself for once again parroting his mate.
"Yeah." Before he could move, Jared reached up, tangled his hands in Carson's long, black hair and yanked his head down into a demanding kiss. His startled squeak allowed Jared access to his mouth and his mate plunged his tongue inside, stroking it against his own.
The heat, taste and smell of the human enthralled Carson, just as it had last night. He growled possessively, before settling his body on top of Jared's and moving his hands to cup his mate's jaws. Carson thrust out his tongue, dueling with Jared's as they both battled for dominance of the kiss. His hard shaft throbbed in his slacks and he gave in to the need to rut against the man beneath him. Rocking his hips forward, he discovered that Jared's cock was just as full.
Carson managed to tear his mouth away from Jared's, but he couldn't still his hips or disguise the breathy growl as he spoke. "Is this what you wanted to know, Jared?" he snarled, anger filling him that he'd somehow managed to lose control of his own body. "You wanted to know what it would be like to kiss a man, to feel his dick pressing against yours?"
Jared grinned cockily. "Never really thought about it before," he replied with a wink, "but since you gave me one hell of a boner last night, I wanted to know if it'd happen again." Jared rocked his hips up, rubbing his shaft in counterpoint with Carson's. "Fuck, that's good."
His hazel eyes dilated and while one of the hands in Carson's hair tightened, Jared dropped the other one to Carson's hip in an attempt to control the pace.
Carson's wolf snarled, seeing the move as a fight for dominance. Somehow, he managed to get his hips to stop moving. He gripped the wrist of the hand at his waist and pinned it to the sofa beside Jared's head. Then he reached down and unfastened his slacks. His cock sprang from the open flaps, the angry purple head already gleaming with pre-cum.
"Commando, interesting," Jared said after a glance down. His hips rocked a bit and he grinned. "How about you help me out now?"
Smiling confidently, Carson used a thumb to caress the ridge of Jared's dick through his jeans. "Stroke me and I'll do that."
Jared hesitated and Carson wondered if he'd see his words as the challenge they were. Finally, Jared grinned crookedly. "Fair enough." Still, it took the man a couple more seconds to unwind his hand from Carson's hair and wrap his fingers around his cock.
His mate's warm hand stroking him firmly nearly had Carson shooting right then. His body shuddered slightly and he had to swallow hard before he could get his fingers to cooperate and open Jared's pants and work them low enough to maneuver his mate's cock through the hole of his boxers.
Unable to resist, Carson scraped the nail of his thumb over the slit of Jared's cockhead, scooping up the glittering drop of fluid. He locked gazes with Jared and licked his finger clean. Satisfaction filled him when Jared's breathing stuttered for a second, his eyes dilating in arousal before his lids dropped to half-mast. Carson rocked forward, pressing his aching shaft against Jared's and manipulated the other man's fingers until Jared's grip encompassed both their cocks.
"Like this," he growled, settling his hand over his mate's and showing him how to pump them both.
When Carson started thrusting his hips, making his shaft slide against Jared's, the body under him trembled. Jared's head dropped against the couch and a low moan escaped his parted lips. "Oh, fuck, that's good."
If he hadn't been a shifter, Carson wasn't sure he'd have heard Jared's strangled words. His gaze focused on the man's neck, beautifully presented for him and he leaned down to lick and nibble the other man's tendons as they continued to masturbate both their cocks. His mate's breathing sped up. He rocked his hips in counterpoint, creating delicious friction. He tilted his head further, giving Carson more access.
Carson felt his canines tingle and he fought the desire to wrap his jaws around the man's shoulder and bite as he scraped them over the fleshy area he longed to sink them into.
"Oh hell, yeah," Jared breathed huskily. "Feels so fucking fantastic. Nip me, Injun. Show me your wild side."
He reared back at the man's words, his entire body freezing as he stared down at Jared. "What the fuck did you say?"
Jared's intense and heated look shocked Carson. Did the human know what he was asking? Then a slow, feral smile curved Jared's features and the other man's body bucked. Carson found himself tumbling unceremoniously to the floor. Shock held him immobile as his backside landed on the throw rug. A hard body pressed on top of him and he found himself pinned by Jared's lighter, wiry frame.
Jared's naked, leaking cock ground against his own, making him groan and thrust up into the delicious friction. When his mate grabbed his wrists and moved them over his head as he leaned down and bit into Carson's neck, his wolf howled in outrage. Carson's need to dominate his human took control.
Wrapping a leg around Jared's calves, he used his shifter strength to flip them. He felt Jared wriggling beneath him, but refused to release him as he used his claws to shred Jared's shirt from his shoulders. He prepared to give Jared's jeans the same treatment, but their wild movements already had them pushed to Jared's ankles.
He flipped the human onto his stomach and plastered his body over Jared's, finally taking a moment to run his fingers over Jared's lean, tone body. He rubbed his aching erection against Jared's ass, his pre-cum easing the glide as he shoved his dick between the human's cheeks. "You want wild, do you, Jared?" he growled.
"I don't think you can deliver, Carson," Jared jeered, looking at him over his shoulder.
Carson felt Jared's knees bend and his legs splay as he bucked under him. The move spread Jared's cheeks and his dick sank further between them. A low growl erupted from his throat as he pinned his mate beneath him and rutted against him for several seconds. Then the man's words registered and he snarled. "I'll give you wild, human," he growled.
