Vern
Mate. I had a mate. For real. A dream I never expected to come true. Yet, it had. I only had to finalize the mating by being intimate with Falco. My stomach twisted as we rushed toward our home while holding hands. It wasn’t the sex that made me nervous. Falco had taught me well what he liked and how to pleasure him at the same time as giving me my own share of bliss. No, it was leaving my mark on my mate that left me worried. Everyone with a mate had told me my teeth would elongate the way they were when I was in my natural form. As a human, I had big front teeth already. I didn’t want them to grow any longer and bring harm to Falco. Yet, I had to use them on him to complete our union.
The instant we reached our home and I shut the door behind us, Falco shucked off his borrowed clothing and launched himself at me. I barely had time to catch him but managed to grip his buttocks as he giggled and nuzzled into my neck. “We’re mated, Vern. We did it.”
He giggled again as he leaned back, wrapping his legs tight around my waist. I moved my hands up his back to prevent him from going too far and knocking me off-balance.
“We are.” His excitement helped to quell some of my anxiety, but not fully. “And there were many beings at our ceremony. More than I expected.”
After tossing off my hat, Falco ran his fingers through my hair and kissed my forehead. “The whole village was there along with some from the lands beyond. No one objected the way you thought they would. Everyone is happy for us.”
“Yeah,” I sighed then tried to hide it with a smile. “It was nice.”
Falco loosened his leg grip on me and slid down my front until his feet touched the floor. Cupping my cheeks, he gazed up at me. “What’s wrong? We’re supposed to be happy and having sex right now. You know how to do that, and you do it well. No need to be nervous.”
I shook my head. “It’s the bite. I don’t want to hurt you.”
Placing his hand over his heart, he smiled with his head tilted to the side. “You really are the sweetest ever. That is why I wanted you as my mate, why I love you.”
“Love?” I’d heard him use the word, but never quite knew what it meant other than a term of affection.
“Yes, love.” He placed his palm over my own heart. “An intense affection and a strong attraction. It’s how I feel about you. Why I didn’t want anyone else to be my mate. Why I’m willing to let this world change my body to bear your children, and why I want you to bite me to finalize our mating. Being in a relationship isn’t perfect all the time, but I want to be with you no matter what, even if it starts with a little pain.” He ran his finger down my chest. “Besides, I heard from some of the other outer-worlders that the moment of the bite leads to the most intense orgasm ever.”
My cheeks warmed as I remembered the previous orgasms he’d had with me. “Okay, let’s do it, but tell me if it’s too much.”
“I will.” He reached behind my neck to remove my bow tie then did the same with the thing around my waist that I couldn’t remember the name of. After tossing them aside, he took my hand and headed toward the bedroom. “Let’s go.”
When we reached our room, he scrambled away. “Wait! I forgot something.” From the drawer of his nightstand, he pulled something out and cupped it in his hands as he carried it to me. “This is for you.”
Confused, I held out my hands, palms up, to receive whatever he had. “I didn’t think we needed lube anymore. Aren’t you supposed to be able to produce slick now?”
He grinned and slowly shook his head before placing the item in my palm. “It’s not lube, but a gift for you.”
Though I believed the greatest gift to be Falco wanting to be my mate and have a family with me, I glanced down at the solid item he’d given me. It was the rock he’d found in the northern part of the forest. One that shined with a vibrance I’d never seen before, almost as if it contained some of the magic of the land. “Thank you.”
Falco placed his hands behind his back and dug his toes into the floor. “It may not seem like much, but it reminded me of you. I found it among all the other rocks, but that one stood out to me, shining brightly among all the others. That’s how I feel about you compared to everyone else I met here.”
I wasn’t one to cry, but I had to swallow down a sob that threatened to escape. I really lucked out in running into Falco that day. Maybe he was right. Maybe Fate did bring us together. “I will treasure this forever.” After setting it on the nightstand, I drew my mate into me. “But now I want to show you just how much of a treasure you are to me.”
He giggled and nuzzled into my neck. “Take me. Make me yours forever.”
Though it had taken me a bit to get used to the euphemisms he used before and during the mating process, I’d grown to enjoy them and found they made me want Falco even more. Holding him close, I walked us to the edge of the bed as he stared up at me, his eyes pleading.
Turning us around so my back was to the bed, I sat, knowing his favorite position meant him on top of me. One I rather enjoyed myself. It proved to be a much more intense release forboth of us when Falco had more control. Plus, it meant easier access to his neck to leave my mark.
“Oh, straight to the point, huh?” He rubbed his palm along my hardening shaft before crawling onto my lap. “I can appreciate that.”
He still used a lot of sayings I did not understand, but I could feel his own erection against my stomach, knowing he was just as anxious as me. “We must finish the mating.”
With a half sigh, half laugh, he rubbed his cheek to mine. “I love you, Vern of the Enchanted Forest,” he whispered into my ear, sending a shiver up my spine. “I’m going to sit on your cock and ride you while you leave your mark on me to show everyone that I’m yours.”
A growl came from deep within me, along with a feeling of pride and possessiveness. Holding Falco against me with one arm, I reached behind him with the other. I ran my finger between the globes of his buttocks and found he had indeed gained the ability to produce slick. And a lot of it, it seemed. I rubbed the liquid around his puckered hole, enjoying his whimpers and quiet moans.
He cupped my cheeks before bringing his lips to mine. He kissed me deep and long as he slowly drove his hips up my thighs. When he dragged his tongue along my lips, I let him in, quickly becoming lost in the pleasure of his motions. His sweet invasion made my mind reverberate with need. I enjoyed the connection, the way he used his talented tongue to make me forget everything else, but I yearned for more.
I pressed lightly against his taut ring and he pushed back, allowing my finger to slip inside as he leaned away from me and moaned. “Fuck, I can’t wait. Let’s do this now. I feel like something is buzzing under my skin and it won’t be satisfied until you’re seated deep inside me.”
The same sensation filled me ever since we’d left the ceremony, but I continued to hold back, not wanting to harm Falco in any way.
