A moan fell from Adrian’s lips as he pulled Haru between his spread legs, their cocks rubbing together. Part of Haru wanted to slow things down. This was their first time together in what he now saw as their bed, and he wanted to linger over every inch of his precious mate. He wanted to kiss and suck every bit of him until Adrian was crying out for release. But Adrian’s hands were already trembling as they clutched at him, and those beautiful gray eyes were black with desire. Haru couldn’t wait any longer. He spared enough time to work some oil into Adrian’s body, stretching him so as not to cause any pain. Adrian barely allowed him that much, with his pleading and demands forcing Haru to the edge of control.
It was only when Haru brushed the head of his hard cock across Adrian’s hole in a teasing fashion that the devilish man fell silent. Their desperate, broken pants filled the room along with the soft creak of the mattress. Haru pushed into him. He started to watch his body disappearing inside Adrian, but his mate groaned and shoved his head into the pillow, curving his thick neck into a sexy arch. Haru’s eyes locked on that handsome face as his quivering lips parted and his eyes squeezed shut. His normally ruddy complexion was even darker while drops of water still glistened on his cheeks in the pale light. No one had ever looked so exquisite to Haru in all his long existence.
Haru filled Adrian, shoving his full length into him. As soon as he was completely seated, Adrian leaned up and caught his arm. He pulled Haru close, their mouths eating at each other while Haru’s hips moved. There was no stopping it. He thrust, chasing the ecstasy that was just beyond his grasp. Adrian whimpered and begged, their lips still crushed together. Beneath Haru, Adrian’s hips lifted, meeting him thrust for thrust. Their bodies slapped together, and the bed creaked but held together.
As he felt his control slipping on his orgasm, Haru worked a hand between their bodies and captured Adrian’s leaking cock. He stroked it. Adrian shouted, his channel tightening around Haru’s dick seconds before Adrian came. His hot spend covered Haru’s hand, sending him tipping over the edge after his lover.
Haru released Adrian’s cock and collapsed on top of him so that he had a new reason to need a bath.
“I wonder if this is what Nori had in mind when he asked me to take care of you,” Adrian mumbled into Haru’s shoulder.
Haru grinned into the comforter that was now soiled with their sweat and cum. “Probably not, but I’m sure he knew that this was what I intended.”
“And you’re sure he won’t be upset that you’ve involved yourself with a very ordinary human?”
Haru shifted his position enough to be lying partially on Adrian, with his body still buried deep inside the man, while resting part of his side on the mattress. He balanced on his elbow and dropped his head into his open palm. “No, he will not be upset. My uncle likes you. He sees how you respect our people and our culture. He can see how you care for me. That is all that matters to him. But,” Haru paused and held up one finger, “my uncle is also wise and knows me well. He’s aware that I don’t give one damn about his opinion when it comes to my mate. If he does not approve, I shall leave and never return.”
While he said the words confidently, there was no denying the sliver of pain that sliced through his heart at the same time. He’d always considered himself a free spirit, very independent, but he was also devoted to his clan. To not have his clan, to not have the family that had surrounded him for hundreds of years, was overwhelming.
Just that tiny slip was enough to send Yesuntei’s powers exploding within him, breaking out of the cocoon he’d wrapped them in. Dark whispers crowded his mind, speaking of doubts and conspiracies. But it was Adrian’s hard, annoyed words that rose above them all.
“You can’t leave your clan, Haru. I’d never let you.”
Haru blinked and said a bit petulantly, “Drayce has.”
Adrian rolled his eyes and gave the top of Haru’s head a whack. “You’re not Drayce. Also, Drayce is a very special, complicated case that isn’t normal in the slightest.”
“But—”
The rest of Haru’s argument never left his tongue. The words became lodged in his throat at Adrian’s stern glare.
“Enough. We’re not talking about the future—yours, mine, or ours—until we get a few things settled. Starting with getting Yesuntei’s powers out of you. After we deal with that and stop the lunatic in Damardor, maybe we’ll talk about things.”
Haru’s heart skipped a beat, and he grinned at Adrian. “Things?”
