“I can’t. I told you he won’t understand. Riley, he would never understand this and then he’d hate me. Doing it this way, it’s best for everyone—trust me.”

“Well, I guess I’m gonna have to take your word for it. Your decision, right? I just think he should be given a chance. Wait there and I’ll be back soon.”

Chapter 20

“So, you sure you really wanna do this?” Zak smiles as he hesitantly fists his hand through the soft sand-blond curls of QT’s hair. “I mean if you don’t think it’s a good idea or you’ve changed your mind then we don’t have to do it today. I’m more than happy to wait ‘til you’re ready. I mean, it’s not that I don’t wanna do it with you but… I don’t want you doin’ somethin’ you might regret later.”

“I won’t r-r-regret it. Zak, I wa-wa-nna do this, with you.”

“You do?” he gasps with excitement. “Oh okay, well then um… Oh hell, why am I so damn nervous? You sure Bud’s not gonna be back anytime soon? Maybe we should uh—”

“Zak sh-shut up and k-kiss me.”

“Oh yeah, um… oh-okay. What you mean like right now?” Zak stutters and his words nervously catch in his throat.

“R-right now,” QT smiles, gently stroking his fingers against Zak’s cheek.

“Oh, fuck… so we’re really gonna do this?”

A grin breaks across Zak’s lips and a passionate desire roars like a fire in the deep blue of his eyes. QT curls his fingers against the back of his head and they gently touch lips. Zak takes a deep breath and with his heart thudding hard in his chest, he can feel the smooth warmth of the blond omega’s cheek pressed against his own stubble growth.

QT smiles as Zak’s rough whiskers tickle his face and then for the very first time, lips locked, tongues touching, they passionately kiss.

QT can do nothing but smile. He’d dreamed of this for so long—memorized every fantasied detail. Now the moment was here, and it surpasses all his expectations. A rippling tidal wave of excitement trembles through his body. His blood pumping quickly through his veins hardens his cock with needy desire. It’s everything he wanted and longed for—his first full sexual encounter. The fact it’s with Zak, the man he’d coveted for as long as he can remember, makes it even more special.

With his huge muscular frame, piercing blue eyes, teasing comments, and overprotective mannerisms, QT adores all of him. He’s had many, many offers over the years, been taken for dinners, lunches, coffee dates; given kisses and blowjobs, but in all that time he’d never given himself fully to anyone. Holding out instead for the man he wanted most in the world. Until Kat arrived, he was accepting of the reality that it might never be more than unrequited love. But with the alphas infatuated by the new she-wolf, the pack dynamics were changing.

The group was becoming tighter, their bond stronger and more settled. The changes were having a good effect on Zak. He’d become less concerned with Digby’s needs and more open to the things he wanted; more comfortable with his feelings for QT and encouraged by Kat, he’d finally admitted he wanted him.

Zak suddenly pulls back and takes a deep breath. The sweet and delicious taste of the younger wolf fills his mouth, and the fresher and less dominant musk scent wafts under his nose. The smell differs from anyone else he’s ever had sex with, and it takes him by surprise.

“Was that okay?” he nervously asks. Concerned he might fall below any expectation; Zak’s inner lack of confidence shows as he holds his breath and awaits QT’s response. “I mean, did you like it? My kissin’, was it okay? Only I… I’ve only done this a few times with guys—girls yeah sure I’ve done that a lot but that’s different and… Holy shit,” he swallows his nerves. “I should shut up, right?”

“Um-hm.” QT smiles. “Zak, it, it was p-p-erfect. Do it a-again.”

“Again? Really? What, you liked it that much? Okay, I’m shuttin’ up now.” He moves closer, his hand firmly grabbing at the back of QT’s head, his fingers clutching at his curls as he kisses him again. With both wolves already stripped of their clothes, Zak grabs QT around the waist and pulls him onto this lap. “You’re gorgeous, you know that.” He grins wildly as he studies the naked body sat astride his hips.

QT smiles and leans forward and then with an assured and previously unseen confidence; he places his lips on Zak’s. They kiss ferociously, tongues swirling in a tangle of want that makes them both hard. A heated lust for each other fills their cocks and Zak grins. A huge beaming smile fills his face and his blue eyes sparkle. “Well, I think someone’s kinda ready? Oh, I um… I have somethin’. Wait, don’t move.”

Stretching, he reaches to a chair at the side of the couch and grabs his jacket. “So, I hope I wasn’t bein’ too presumptuous but… well, I got these just in case.” From the inside pocket, he pulls out a brown paper bag and empties the contents onto his chest in front of QT—a box of condoms and a small bottle of lubricant oil. “I figured we might need them if we… well if you wanted to do it. I mean, I guess you’d wanna use them, right? Only I know I don’t always choose to wear them myself, and yeah, I know I should. But if you want me to then I will, it’s not a problem. I just didn’t know how you feel about it. I mean I don’t have nothin’ and I get tested regularly… Oh, shit, why the fuck am I so nervous?” He swallows again, waiting for any kind of response. “Look, I just want this to be right for you.”

“It’s p-p-perfect.” QT smiles and grabbing Zak’s face in his two smaller hands, he kisses him. Zak smells amazing. He can’t resist the large muscular wolf and he smooths his hands, massaging them over his well-toned powerful chest. “I-I… I got them too.” He blushes as he points to an almost identical paper pharmacy bag laid on the side table in front of them.

“Oh right, well that’s good thinkin’. Okay… looks like we’re doin’ it then.” Zak smiles as QT nods enthusiastically. “So next question—how do you, um… how do ya wanna do it? I mean, what kinda position do you like? Do you have a preference? You want me behind you or… or like this?” Zak tips him onto his back against the pillows of the couch and then presses his large body over the top of QT’s smaller frame. The feeling of the muscular sniper beneath him sends Zak’s inner wolf into a frenzy and he struggles to hold himself back. Ravaging his face with a wanting desire, he kisses him ferociously. His tongue dipping in and out of QT’s mouth mixes their scent; the lustful fumes filling the room.

“Wait…” It’s so intense, and QT holds him back to catch his breath. “H-How about we slow d-d-down. Maybe I start h-here?” Touching his hand on Zak’s swollen cock, he smiles as he maneuvers himself from underneath the dominant wolf’s body. QT isn’t weak—his strong muscular arms now force Zak onto his back. His amber eyes flicker with a teasing glint, and then with a quick swirl of his tongue, he licks it all the way down the length of Zak’s hard shaft.

“Oh my… Holy hell!” Zak gasps in delight. “Gods above and fire below, that’s… Oh, fuck that’s…” he closes his eyes. “Oh yeah…. Yeah, that feels like a-a, a good place to start.” He continues to pant breathlessly, “Oh my god, that is… just like that. It’s so good. I—”

Zak’s eyes widen and then, in shocked horror, he suddenly sits up, looking as the front door bursts open. “Fuck!”

“Ah Zak, that’s good you’re here, I need to… Hey wait up…” Digby frowns slightly puzzled. “Actually, why are you here? Oh, never mind. So, do you know where QT is? Only I can’t get a hold of him. I keep pinging his cell, but I’m gettin’ no reply. I need to speak with him ASAP.”

“What the fuck! Digby… Digby, you can’t just come in here like this. You need to fuckin’ knock. Hell, I could’ a sworn I locked the door?”

“Yeah, the door was locked. I used Bud’s spare key. Why? What’re you doin’? And why are you not at your place? Oh hey… have you got a woman there? You know Bud’s gonna bust a gut, you bringin’ someone here when he’s not in. Anyway, I’ll be gone soon. Like I said, I just need to get a hold of QT. You know where he is?”

“Um, no. No, I’m not sure. I don’t know. Um… look, could we maybe do this later? Only I’m kinda busy right now.”
