As soon as Kellen parked behind the house, he eased his sleeping mate from the passenger seat. Colt got out and went straight to the back door, opening it so Kellen could carry Atlas inside.

He took Atlas straight up the spiral staircase and then entered his room, placing his mate on their bed.

Tonight was… Wow. Kellen hadn’t expected an explosion at the dinner table but was glad it happened. It seemed that was all that was needed for Monica to get her head out of her ass.

Honestly, Kellen had listened to the entire conversation in the kitchen, just in case shit went south and he needed to pull his mate out of there.

He hadn’t expected Atlas’s mom to take responsibility for her actions. Then again, Kellen’s view of mothers had been tainted so badly that he didn’t think fondly of any of them.

After she pulled Colt into the dining room to finish their dinner, things had quieted down. Not even the shock of finding out that Jacob knew about his world topped the fact that Atlas loved him.

Eighty years ago, Kellen had sworn to never let anyone else have his heart, yet Atlas had stolen it right out from under his nose. Kellen was in love again, and fuck if that didn’t frighten him. Atlas had power over him, power to destroy Kellen if he wanted to.

He just had to trust that Atlas never would.

Kellen slipped his mate’s shoes off then tried to pull the blanket over him, but Atlas grabbed Kellen’s wrist as he opened his eyes. “I’m nervous about telling you that I love you, even if my dad shouted it to the room.”

Taking a seat on the side of the bed, Kellen glanced at his mate’s chest as butterflies filled his stomach. He ran his tongue over his bottom lip, his heart racing. “I’ve spent so long pushing people away that it’s hard for me to express myself, Atlas.”

His mate sat up. “I don’t expect you to say it in return. I know about your past and how hard it is for you to trust anyone. I just want you to know my dad was right. I am in love with you, Kellen.”

“What if I want to say it, Atlas?” Kellen couldn’t look his mate in the eye. Not yet. He was terrified of feeling that way again, even if Atlas’s declaration brought Kellen to his knees.

He thought he would spend the rest of his life alone, going from one hookup to the next, even though he’d desperately craved for something more than a warm body and meaningless sex.

“Then you say it when you’re ready.” Atlas pulled his shirt over his head. “Tonight I’ll show you just how much I love you.”

Atlas pulled at Kellen’s wrist, and Kellen climbed onto the bed, unable to resist his mate. He poised his body over Atlas’s, cupping his mate’s jaw as he took possession of his soft lips.

His mate glided his hands over Kellen’s biceps, trailing them down his chest and stopping at his waistband. Atlas unfastened Kellen’s jeans and pushed them downward before circling his slim, warm hand around Kellen’s hard cock.

Pleasure radiated through him as Atlas slowly moved his hand up and down, swirling his tongue around Kellen’s before sucking on it. A low growl rumbled in Kellen’s chest.

In the past, sex had just been a way to relieve stress and fulfill natural urges. Now Kellen was no longer simply looking for a way to get off. Sex had meaning for him because Atlas had changed him in so many ways.

The guy owned him. Body, heart, and soul.

Kellen pulled away, stripped out of his clothes, and slid Atlas’s pants and underwear off. “You’re so amazing.”

Atlas reached for him, and Kellen went, devouring Atlas’s lips as he grabbed the lube from under the pillow. He wet his fingers and then glided them between his mate’s cheeks. Atlas spread his legs, clinging to Kellen as their kiss deepened, and Kellen breached his entrance.

Arching his back, Atlas groaned, his eyelids fluttering closed. Kellen was mesmerized as he stretched his mate, desperate to bury himself deep.

“I’m ready.” Atlas bit his bottom lip as he opened his eyes, looking at Kellen with need with those beautiful gray irises. “Need you inside of me. Love you. Want you so badly.”

Kellen pulled his fingers free, lubed his cock, then positioned himself over Atlas. His mate cupped his legs behind the knees and pulled them back, gifting Kellen with the most erotic view.

His canines descended as Kellen thrust into his mate’s warm, tight heat. He placed his hands on either side of Atlas’s head, staring down at the man who meant everything to him.

Atlas wrapped his legs around Kellen’s waist. “Don’t hold anything back.”

He didn’t plan to.

Kellen punched his hips forward, drowning in sensations, reveling in how tightly Atlas’s ass gripped his cock. Kellen dropped to his forearms, thrusting faster and deeper as his mate threw his head back.

“God, yes!” Atlas shouted as his nails dug into Kellen’s flesh, making his wolf snarl and draw closer to the surface. “I need harder, Kellen.”

Shoving to his knees, Kellen gripped Atlas’s hips and drove his mate’s ass down onto his cock as he pistoned forward. Their bodies collided, the noise filling the room, their heavy breaths blending together as Kellen fucked his mate to within an inch of his life.
