It was still so hard, the knot still swollen to the point of discomfort. When Nikolai clenched around him, pleasure calmed the ache.
His eyes rolled back, and he took a shuddering breath as Nikolai moaned softly.
“I’m thinking I’m not quite done with you yet,” he whispered. “Get on your back.”
Swallowing, Soren gripped Nikolai tightly, rolling them, so that he was laying on top of Soren.
Nikolai pushed up, using Soren’s chest as leverage as he adjusted his legs, straddling him. Sure enough, his cock was still hard, the last tendrils of his heat sticking to him and not yet letting go. It was affecting them both and Soren wasn’t complaining.
He watched as Nikolai shut his eyes, clearly relishing the feeling of their connected bodies, then he started to rock his hips.
Soren gripped his thighs tightly, then, because he was accidentally hindering his movements, he released him and reached up, gripping the pillows as he allowed Nikolai to ride him.
The sight of Nikolai on top of him, so carnal in his movements and confident in his desires was enough to make him groan. He had to squeeze his eyes shut at the vision in order to last at all and then he was left only with the sensation of his full cock and knot buried deep in Nikolai’s hole, being rocked and squeezed until—
Nikolai let out a guttural moan, his body clenching, and spasming as come weakly splashed onto Soren’s skin. He reached down, gripping Nikolai’s thighs again, unable to stop himself this time as he pressed up into him, coming with a grunt, deep inside Nikolai for a second time.
Nikolai gasped, his face contorted with pleasure until Soren finally fell still, sinking back against the mattress.
“Fuck,” Nikolai whispered. “It feels so good when you fill me.”
Soren shut his eyes.
“How can you say things like that after I’ve already come twice?” he asked. “Don’t you know it makes me want to do it again?”
Nikolai chuckled and allowed himself to be pulled into Soren’s arms.
He wrapped the slight man in a warm embrace and his very soul sang at the feeling of Nikolai in his arms.
He sniffed the air. The smell of his heat was still overpowering, but Soren could tell it was already dissipating.
Judging by the fact that Nikolai fell asleep almost at once, allowing exhaustion to overtake him, Soren assumed the last of his heat was finally leaving his tired body.
He couldn’t quite believe it. Here Nikolai was, fast asleep in his arms after Soren had already resigned himself to a life without him. He’d thought the half-bond would be a frustrating mark on his life but one that he would learn to live with until it disappeared.
Clearly, he’d been fooling himself.
He felt like he’d been walking with a heavy limp and finally had a crutch. He would not have been able to travel long without Nikolai there at his side.
They still had so much to discuss. Nikolai was a humanprinceafter all. He might not want the things Soren had to offer. He might not think that remaining here for Soren to lead his pack was a good idea. He might not even want to be together. For all he knew, Nikolai would come here monthly for his knot and then return home.
He bit his lip, pushing all the negative thoughts away.
Right now, his knot was still in his mate. He was cradled in his arms the way he should be. They were together. That was all that mattered.
Soren would deal with the rest when they woke.
CHAPTER8
NIKOLAI
It was a testament to how out of it Nikolai had been that he hadn’t even wondered where Andrey was until the morning light filtered into the cave.
It was his first thought though, upon opening his eyes and seeing where he was.
Soren was in bed behind him, his arms and legs wrapped around Nikolai warmly.
He didn’t think he had ever felt so cozy.
