I took my time, thrusting slowly into his tight wet heat. That newly-awakened feral part of me wanted to fuck him hard and fast—spill into him over and over.
 
 Breed him.
 
 Luckily, my rational side was in control, and it remembered that my gorgeous mate was a man who’d never been bedded before—one who’d been worried when he saw my penis. I had to get him used to taking my cock before he’d be ready for a good pounding.
 
 Besides, we had the rest of our lives try anything and everything we wanted in the bedroom.
 
 “Avery… Avery…” my name spilled from his lips as if it was the only word he knew, sometimes gasped, others panted, but it was when it was on the end of a whimper that made satisfaction curl through me.
 
 I was doing that, I was causing his pleasure.
 
 In and out—I was lost in the perfection of this man. How had I ever questioned whether this was the right path? If I’d left, if I’d returned to my former base, I would never have met my mate.
 
 My Lumi.
 
 His fingernails dug deeper into my back, his heels pressed against my ass, and his body trembled beneath me. It would take only the tiniest bit more to send him tumbling over into bliss.
 
 I shifted, varying my angle until he let out a strangled cry. “There you are… Don’t hold back.”
 
 It only took a few thrusts nailing his sweet spot before warmth bloomed between us as he came.
 
 “That’s it,” I urged, forcing myself to keep moving at the same pace to prolong his pleasure. “Let yourself feel good. I’m right behind you.”
 
 Lumi moaned, hips rocking against me as he sought the end of his orgasm. Then I held myself deep, groaning as I finally allowed myself to come, balls emptying into him.
 
 Had sex ever been so good? I doubted it.
 
 I covered him as the last pulses of pleasure trailed off, keeping us connected for a few extra seconds as I kissed him. Then—unfortunately—my cock became sensitive, and I had to pull out.
 
 I sighed as I moved off him, reached over to the nightstand, and snagged a couple of tissues. I cleaned his cum from his stomach, tossed the tissues in the direction of the trash can, and pulled him into my arms.
 
 “How’re you feeling?” I murmured, pressing kisses to his soft hair.
 
 He hummed. “That was quite enjoyable.”
 
 I chuckled. “That’s one way to put it.”
 
 He glanced up, and I watched a blush cross his face. “I like having your…” he motioned as if he was searching for the right word, “inside me.”
 
 “Cock?” I guessed.
 
 His blush deepened. “Yes, but also…”
 
 A slow smile spread across my face. “You like having my cum inside you?”
 
 He ducked his head in an attempt to hide a bit of shyness. “Y-yes.”
 
 I lifted his chin and kissed him. “I like knowing my cum is inside you.”
 
 “Really?”
 
 I nodded. “I don’t know why, I’m not normally possessive. But I am with you.” My cock twitched at the thought of my seed in my mate. “I like knowing that I’m the one who came inside you, that it’s my cum and nobody else’s. I’m the one who marked you in your most private place.”
 
 He let out a shuddering whimper.
 
 “Do you like that too?”
 
 Lumi nodded. “Yes.”
