“Feels good,” Byk murmured.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you,” Teddy said, but then he pressed forward and let Byk know what was on his mind. Byk sat up, stared at Teddy’s cock, then brought his eyes up to meet Teddy’s. There was so much love and trust in Byk’s gaze, that Teddy was undone. He had to admit, he wanted to make love to his mate. Wanted to feel as the two of them became one. His biggest fear was that Byk might scream and that would turn Teddy off sex forever.

“I’m sorry, it’s just?—”

“Your body reacting to mine? Don’t apologize. I’m over the moon about it.” He held out a hand. “Here, let me help.”

He took the bottle of lube from Teddy and opened the top. He held the nozzle over Teddy’s rigid dick and drizzled a small amount onto it. It was cold, at least until Byk wrapped his slender fingers around it and began to massage the oil in. Once it warmed, the feeling was indescribable. Teddy’s dick hardened more than he thought it could.

“Byk,” he moaned.

How could he ever have imagined not enjoying sex? Or maybe it was the desire to have a mate, someone to share everything with. Casual sex held no appeal for Teddy. Hell, the thought of it made him queasy. He could never understand how Ivan was so blasé about it.

When Byk cupped Teddy’s balls, that snapped his attention back to where it belonged. Those talented fingers tickled the fine hairs on Teddy’s sac, which made him even harder.

“How… how did you know to do that?” he choked out.

Byk peered through his thick lashes and licked his plump lips. “I overheard Cooper talking to one of his friends about it. He said the girl drove him wild when she did it.”

Teddy snickered. “You mean you were eavesdropping.”

“What? No, I…. Okay, fine. I was. You have to understand, though. He was talking to his friend Daniel, and I—” Byk’s cheeks went scarlet and he averted his gaze.

“You had a crush on him.”

A quick nod. “He was the only one of Cooper’s friends who wasn’t a jerk to me. I mean, don’t get me wrong, he wasn’t like my buddy or anything, but he never went out of his way to be an ass.”

“Sometimes those are the best people.” Teddy nodded toward his straining shaft. “Are you intending on doing something with that?”

Byk smiled shyly. “Maybe.”

He stroked his hand up and down, bringing Teddy perilously close to orgasm. Was this how it would always be? With nothing more than a touch, this beautiful man could undo Teddy? When Byk straddled Teddy’s legs, he was shocked.

“What are you doing?”

“Cooper told Daniel?—”

“That’s how you learned about sex? Me too. Only mine was from Ivan, who had no problem regaling me with his latest conquest.” He sighed. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have interrupted. Go on.”

Another shy grin. “Cooper said this girl from school sat on his dick, and he lay back with his hands behind his head and watched as she rode him. He said….” Byk swallowed. “He talked about her boobs bouncing and her keening. I figured it was bull—no pun—but I had to admit, it was great fodder for those nights by myself. Only it wasn’t Cooper, it was me, and I was the one sitting on….” He glanced away, his cheeks reddening.

“On Daniel.”

A quick nod, then he turned a fearful gaze in Teddy’s direction. “I’m sorry,” he croaked.

Teddy reached up and trailed his fingers over Byk’s chest, noting the goosebumps it brought. “For what? Being a horny teenager? Hardly a crime. Even if you had a history, that doesn’t change a thing. That’s the past, I’m your present and, for as long as you’ll have me, your future.”

Byk slid Teddy’s shaft around his crease, then tensed when it touched his pucker. “How about if we start with forever and see where it goes from there?”

“That sounds like a plan, and so you know?—”

Byk pressed down, the head of Teddy’s cock piercing the soft flesh and becoming engulfed in so much heat, Teddy feared he couldn’t contain himself. Byk winced, and his expression spoke of pain. That brought Teddy up short.

“Stop,” Teddy ordered, unable to think about causing harm to this wonderful person the Maker had gifted him with.

Byk gritted his teeth. “Just… shut up. Stay still, okay?” He gave a tremulous smile. “Trust me, all right?”

It was hard. He could feel the pain through their bond, but Teddy also knew that Byk was determined, and he was right. Teddy had to trust him to know his body and the limits of it. He lay there, staring into Byk’s eyes, noting the sheen in them. He wanted to stop the whole thing, but if he did, Teddy didn’t think Byk would forgive him. Worse, he worried Byk would think he was weak and couldn’t think for himself. Teddy couldn’t have that.
