“Okay,” Beau said quietly.
I heard his breath hitch as my finger wandered from his stomach to his nipple. The bud hardened, and Beau inhaled deeply while my finger gently circled around it. I could scent his increasing arousal, and when I leaned down and licked over the same nipple, Beau let out a noise that had me smiling.
I licked over it twice more before I closed my lips around it and sucked gently. Beau’s fingers threaded into my hair and held on as he made a gasping sound and then a loud moan. His body spasmed beside me, and then I scented something I hadn’t expected. At least not yet. I smiled around his nipple before I pushed up and looked down at my mate. Damn, he was sexy as hell in the aftermath of his orgasm.
Beau’s cheeks were flushed, and his eyes closed tightly. He was absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn’t help but want a taste of his lips. He was my mate, and I wasn’t going to let the situation keep me from getting that taste, so I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. He kissed me back for all of a second before he gasped and turned his head to the side. He made a noise that I didn’t care for, and then words I never wanted to hear from him again came from him.
“I’m sorry.”
I leaned down and kissed his shoulder where it met his neck. Exactly where I intended to put my claiming bite. “For what?” I asked against his warm skin. “For enjoying yourself? Don’t ever apologize for that when you’re with me. That is the entire point of us being together. For you to get as much enjoyment as possible.”
Beau turned his head away. “But I…it was too soon. Too early.”
I chuckled. “Only if you feel that way. I have plans to make you come multiple times before I finally claim you. That was just the first one. How many more do you think I can get from you before we claim one another?” That had Beau looking back at me. I smiled at him from where I was gently kissing his shoulder. “It’s going to be fun learning just where else on your body is a hot spot like that.” It would too. I was looking forward to exploring his body and finding out just where else could make him come with something as simple as kisses and sucking.
“You’re not mad?”
I pushed up onto my elbow and looked down at my mate. “Not even a little. I love that you are excited and I can give you pleasure like that. I want to always bring you happiness and pleasure. That’s how alphas are wired. We want to protect, to provide. Be it pleasure, comfort, safety, reassurance, all of it. That is all I wish for you, Beau.” He had to be getting a bituncomfortable at this point, so I pushed up from where I was lying beside him and reached for the waistband of his jeans. “We also want to care for our mates. And you must be getting uncomfortable with what is in your pants at this point.”
I had his pants open in a moment, and when I encountered a pair of dark blue briefs, I smiled. There was an obvious wet spot on the front; some had managed to leak out above the waistband of his briefs. I couldn’t help it: I needed a taste. I leaned down without a thought, other than to taste my mate in that way. When my tongue lapped up the white fluid on Beau’s lower stomach, he gasped. Immediately after, his fingers threaded into my hair and tugged. I looked up his torso at him and raised an eyebrow in question.
“You…are you sure? I would never expect that from you.”
I sighed and sat up. “I can see we’ll need to have a complete conversation about sexual pleasure and how I want to give you all that I can, in any and every way possible.”
“But you’re the alpha. I don’t expect you to do that to me. I’m supposed to do that to you.”
I shook my head. “I would never ask or expect you to do anything to me that I myself wasn’t willing to provide to you in return. I very much look forward to sucking and tasting you, in all areas. If you have been taught that alphas don’t do these things to and for their omegas, I’m sorry you were told such things.”
Beau’s eyes widened even more. “You honestly want to do those things to me?”
I chuckled as I reached out and swiped a finger through what was left of the mess that was on Beau’s lower stomach. I brought it to my mouth and sucked my fingers. The taste had me closing my eyes, and I honestly couldn’t wait to suck him to completion. When I opened my eyes, I had to blink a few times because my tiger very much wanted to take over and have me pounce on ourmate and hurry up and claim him. “I very much desire to do those things to you. Always. But only if you are comfortable with me doing so. I understand you are new to all of this, but I hope we can explore things together.”
Beau pushed up onto his elbows and looked at me. “I want you to do everything to me.” He bit his lower lip, and it was the sexiest thing I’d seen in a very long time. “I liked you licking me, and my cock felt ready to explode again at just the thought of you licking me there.” Beau took a deep breath, and I could see just how nervous he was. I wanted nothing more than to wrap him up in my arms and reassure him in every way possible. “Will you teach me how to do it to you? I want to try.”
“Oh, sweetness. I will happily let you do anything to me you wish. And if you have any questions, don’t ever feel ashamed to ask. I only want you to be comfortable as well as confident in all things we do together. We will both be learning over the next several weeks, but I am certain that we will know exactly what the other needs and desires in no time.” It would help once we claimed one another. He would be able to access my thoughts and I his. That was something I very much was looking forward to.
“Can we start over? I want to do all of these things with you, but I think I’ve pretty much killed the mood with all of my questions.”
I smiled at Beau. “We absolutely can start over. How about we take a bath? It’s a great way to relax, and we can get you cleaned up. Not only that, but it will give me an excuse to rub hands all over your soapy body.”
Beau’s eyebrows rose. “That sounds…yes, please.”
I smiled at my mate before I rolled off the bed. When I reached for him, sliding my arms under his legs and his upper back, Beau didn’t squeak this time. He giggled, and it was an absolutely wonderful sound. One I hoped to hear again andagain in our lifetime together. But first, I wanted to make him moan as I filled him with my aching cock. I knew I’d never get tired of hearing Beau moan as he came because of the pleasure I was giving him. I was already counting all of the ways I was going to do so—starting with soaping him up in the tub.
Chapter 12
Beau
Ifelt like the biggest idiot. I was happy that Roman couldn’t yet hear my thoughts. I didn’t want him to know just how much I wanted to kick myself. Instead of being carried to the bathroom with a cold, wet mess in my underwear, I could have been having sex for the first time ever. But nope, I had to go and get embarrassed because I came from Roman sucking on my nipple. Who did that? Apparently, I did, and it was so embarrassing.
Roman had been amazing and so understanding though, which I was incredibly thankful for. Now we were going to take a bath together, and that thought actually was much more appealing than I would have ever thought. The fact that the super-sexy alpha that had been chosen to be mine wanted to get naked with me…there were no negatives to that as far as I could see.
“I believe that one of the perks of having the created warlock in charge of housing for many of the paranormals in the area is massive tubs and showers,” Roman said as he set me down on my feet just in front of the tub. “We will have to wait a bit for the tub to fill though.”
I gestured to the tub, smiling when Roman’s eyebrows rose.
“Or, you could do your thing and we instantly have a tub full of steaming water.”
