Page 74 of The Doctor's Wolf: Part Two
Adler nodded.That’s fine.And you can always poke around in my mind if that helps.Should we go on, or do you just want to sleep?
“I still want you.I want you, Adler.”
“Good.Lie on your back while I taste you, and don’t move.Keep your hands there.”
Gordon felt hot.Warm.Desired.
Adler released Gordon’s wrists and moved down, marking his progress with kisses and with sucking hard on Gordon’s skin, hard enough to leave a mark.Gordon shivered and dug his fingers into the fabric of the pillow.
That made Adler make his wolfish noises, and Gordon felt the vibrations of that against the tender skin of his belly.
Gordon shivered.He’d felt vulnerable in his life before, and he had never liked that, had always tried to not have to feel that way in the few relationships he’d been in.But with Adler, everything felt different.With Adler, it came natural to lay bare his deepest self, and he didn’t mind this bond the mate bite had forged.
That in and of itself was novel.Scary even.Except GordonwantedAdler, but not in the mere, physical sense.I want him to know everything about me,Gordon realized, his throat tightening.
“I want to tell you about Paula.I want you to know about my sister,” Gordon blurted out.Well.I might be taking the prize for saying the stupidest thing during sex.
Adler, predictably, stopped and looked up at Gordon, eyes wide with surprise.
“Sweetheart--”
“I mean, not now.Obviously.”Gordon gestured in a somewhat random way.“I’m saying, keep going.I just realized that while I always say I don’t want to talk about it, I just realized I want to talk about itwith you.At a future point in time.Cool?”
Adler gave Gordon the strangest of looks.His jaw went first tight, then slack.His eyes seemed to glow with their own fire, then dimmed but ever so slightly as if he were calming himself.
“Gordon, will you marry me?”
“What the fuck!”
“I mean it.Through the Forum, of course.It’s just filing for spousal status, and maybe a party after.”
“Well, yeah, but… How can you ask thisnow!”
“Because I know.I want you.I want to stand in front of you whenever the world comes at you, and I want everyone to know it too.Everyone.I want it legal and binding and official.Marry me.”
“Fuck, Adler!The mate bite isn’t binding enough for you?”
“You’re blushing.And yes, it is.But everyone who doubts won’t be able to argue with Forum bureaucracy.You know that.It’s airtight.”Amusement coated Adler’s voice like candy coating red apples at a fun fair.
“Oh, don’t be so damn smug.”Gordon shifted, but Adler held him in place.
“I’m not smug.I’m happy.You can think about it.I don’t need you to answer straight away.But come morning, you’ll tell me.”
“Gee, I’m getting an ultimatum?”
“Hmm-mmmh.”Adler’s mouth went back to paying attention to Gordon’s skin, his aroused flesh.
“You’re using your interrogation tactics on me again, detective.”Gordon gasped when Adler’s mouth finally found his erect cock.“This is—not fair!It won’t hold up in court.”Adler licked around Gordon’s tip, teased his foreskin with the tip of his tongue.“Damn—your mouth, detective.”
“Hmm.Delicious.Doesn’t have to hold up in court.It’s just an official who takes down our names and does the filing.It’ll take five minutes.”
“Ah!You’re…devious…”
Adler eased Gordon’s length into his mouth, into that sweet warmth.He was wet and willing, and took Gordon deep, only to add pressure to Gordon’s balls, which nearly did Gordon in.
Adler pulled off though, running his tongue along Gordon’s needy erection, leaving Gordon to moan and squirm.He might have cursed at the loss of Adler’s mouth, but he couldn’t keep track of words anymore.Words meant nothing.Adler took him deep again, started licking and sucking, moved his head up and down.
I love you.I love you, I love you.When you look into my mind, that’s all I ever want you to see in there.Love.Be mine, in every way, be mine in front of the world, mate, spouse, friend.I love you.
