I slammed in, over and over. He cried out every time I bottomed out, begging for more, harder, faster, and my alpha side demanded that I give him what he needed.
 
 The sound of slapping skin mingled with his cries for more, alpha, and my name. Our scents perfumed the air. His skin was hot against my lips as I kissed as much of him as I could.
 
 “Please… Alpha… Please…” Kaleb begged.
 
 “Are you close, omega-mine?”
 
 He nodded, thrusting back against me as hard as he could.
 
 I shifted and slid a hand beneath him, taking his cock in my hand again. I started stroking it to the same pace as my thrusts.
 
 Kaleb came a moment later, screaming my name as he tightened around me.
 
 I fucked him through his orgasm, holding back on my knot until his pulses of pleasure started to slow. Then I drove deep and came with a roar, my knot popping into place inside him.
 
 Kaleb’s orgasm returned with an intensity that was amazing, countering my own pulses of pleasure as my balls drained into him again. Then his head fell forward, exposing his bond mark.
 
 “Mine!” I growled, the primal part of me demanding that I claim my mate. I bit the skin, making him cry out again, then my mind went white with the ecstasy of it.
 
 I could have been in that floaty place of bliss for seconds, or eons. Time seemed to stop as we connected, and I only came back to myself when I heard Kaleb’s contented sigh.
 
 My Kaleb, my gorgeous omega, was happy.
 
 I released my bite and kissed the angry skin, then I shifted to settle us on our sides.
 
 I snuggled my mate, breathing in his scent, and quietly marveling that he was mine.
 
 “I get to keep you, right?” Kaleb asked.
 
 “Hmm?” I replied, unsure what he meant.
 
 “You granted my wishes,” he teased. “Knot, mark, babies. You don’t have to go back in that lamp, do you?”
 
 I started laughing as he glanced over his shoulder to give me a mischievous grin.
 
 “I think mark means me as well. Since you wished for me, I think you get to keep me,” I replied.
 
 “Good,” he sighed. “I like you. I want to keep you.”
 
 “I like you too,” I teased, nuzzling his shoulder.
 
 He made another happy noise, and I heard the sleepiness in it.
 
 “Sleep omega-mine,” I suggested. “We both know you’ll need to go again soon.”
 
 He nodded and yawned as I tugged some blankets over us as best as I could. By the time we were covered he was already snoring lightly.
 
 I snuggled him, loving the feel of him in my arms. Soon we’d be fathers, but for now I could enjoy having finally found my mate.
 
 My fated mate.
 
 I grinned as I pressed another kiss to his shoulder.
 
 Me, with a fated mate. Who would have guessed it? Still, I would enjoy being with him for the rest of my life.
 
 I yawned, and decided that I should nap as well. It would be a long enjoyable night of making love to my mate, over and over, and I would need my energy in order to keep up.
 
 “I really do like you,” I mumbled against him as I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
