Chapter Thirty-Nine

Theo walked into the bedroom and found Sebastian curled up on the bed. The tip of his tail was between his teeth like he was holding a security blanket.

He crawled in bed with him and petting his head. "Are you that stressed about all of this?"

Sebastian quickly dropped his tail and rolled over, so he was facing Theo. "Of course, I am. I hurt you. I thought I was improving."

"You are." He showed his bandaged arm. "Besides, you hardly scratched me at all."

"If I can't handle myself when upset, how am I supposed to stop from eating you eventually?" He looked down, ashamed. "Coralie looked so scared. You love them so much and I made a horrible first impression. I can't even face them again."

"I love the three of you. They will come around when they see how much you love me." He took his hand and kissed it. "As for the devouring me concern, the measures we've taken so far work for us. Sure, you're always being tied up, but I don't hate it and neither do you. And today you didn't lose yourself and were able to make the choice to walk away. I'd say that's progress."

"I guess that's true." He leaned in and kissed him. It was soft at first but grew wanting as they fell into a heated make out. Abruptly he pulled away and Theo tugged him back playfully.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm worried I'll hurt you," he said, looking down.

"Let me show you that you're safe." He guided Sebastian to the edge of the bed and got down on the floor. The wood was cool against his knees as he took Sebastian's cock out of his pants, gripped it with one hand, and teasingly licked the tip. A gentle hand on his shoulder stopped him from going further.

"Do you want me to get the gag or chains or something?" Sebastain asked quickly.

"Not tonight. Tonight, just do your best to behave. I trust you and I want to apologize for scaring you."

He licked up the shaft and enjoyed the view of Sebastian unraveling stitch by stitch. It didn't take long for that familiar loud growl to spill from his lips.

Sebastian brought his own wrist to his mouth and bit down as he stifled a moan.

"Don't bite too hard." Theo rubbed his thigh, concerned. "Are you enjoying this at all or should we end it here?"

Sebastian shook his head quickly as he bit down harder. "Don't stop," he said in a muffled voice.

He's so adorable.Theo bobbed steadily, lightly touching himself with his free hand. His hard-on ached for release, but he kept his strokes slow so he wasn't too distracted as he got lost in the taste of his prince. Then his head was roughly shoved down. He gagged on Sebastain’s length and his eyes watered.

Blinking away the tears, he peered up. All that was behind Sebastian’s gaze was lust. He thrusted forward, making Theo choke again, and to say he was enjoying it was n understatement.

He's pretty when he's greedy.Theo let his mouth be used relentlessly as he stroked himself fast on the floor. His climax washed over him despite his best efforts to hold off. He gripped Sebastian's leg tight as he made a mess on the floor.

Sebastian let out a strangled growly cry and pull Theo off. His knot swelled as he stroked fast with his free hand. Seconds later, he came.

Theo wiped some of Sebastian’s climax off his cheek and hummed happily as he licked it off his fingertips.

He got up and straddled Sebastain’s lap and looked at his wrist wedge in his mouth. Dark blood rolled down his arm to his elbow in ruby ribbons. “Kitten,” he said in a quiet voice. He tugged his wrist, and Sebastian shook his head defiantly. “Come on now. Behave and let me see what damage you did. It’s okay.”

Sebastain sighed and after a little more coaxing he slowly let go.

Carefully, Theo pulled the wrist from his mouth and saw the deep puncture wounds. He let a thumb run over his wrist, slick with blood. “That must’ve hurt. Poor thing.”

Had these fangs belonged to anyone else Theo may have been nervous to see the injury they could leave, but they belonged to the man who had his heart. So instead of recoiling, he leaned in and kissed Sebastian hard on the lips.

The metallic taste of blood hit his tongue as he draped arms around him. “I love you,” he said breathlessly between kisses. "You know that, right?"

"I know," Sebastian said, purring softly as he held him tighter. “I love you, too."

“Good. Now come on, let’s get you bandaged up.”
