Gordon let go of everything.He gave himself over to feeling, to wanting, he let himself trust inside Adler’s mouth.He let Adler’s thoughts into his mind, let them wash over him and through him.

Time stilled and condensed.It became just the two of them, bound together by the bite, by more than the bite.They held on to the other with more than just hands or even hungry lips.Gordon thought of diamonds, forged in darkness, of eternity and a kind of force that was impossible to resist.

He came in Adler’s mouth, and time moved forward again.Adler licked and swallowed, making content, encouraging noises as he did his best to swallow everything.

Ebbing heat made Gordon’s body feel like a doll’s even as Adler licked him clean, hungry for whatever else Gordon had to give.

I need you,Gordon thought, and almost as if Adler had heard the thought, he moved up again, kissing Gordon with lips that had the taste, the salty-sweet, needy flavor of Gordon himself on them still.

Adler held Gordon though he wasn’t done yet.Gordon rubbed into Adler, knowing his wolf was still hard.He wanted Adler to feel as good as he did, so he reached for Adler’s cock, but Adler pulled his hands away.

“Can I be inside you?”Adler asked on a hoarse whisper.

Gordon nodded.“Yes.”

Adler’s mouth worked on Gordon’s, kissing and biting, tenderly now, but Gordon felt the need there.Adler took Gordon’s earring between his teeth and pulled, carefully, gently, and Gordon pushed himself closer to Adler.

There was some movement as Adler used spit to prep Gordon’s hole with generous strokes that had Gordon shiver and squirm all over again.

“Adler,” Gordon mumbled.“You’re addictive.You’re a drug.My weed cookies have nothing on you.You’re so much worse and need to be regu—”

Adler pushed his length into Gordon, slow and steady, filling him up completely.Oh, it felt so good, that stretch, that tingling sensation of being filled.

Gordon gasped, words forgotten once more, and Adler pushed inside him, covered him with the warmth of his body as he fucked him.

Adler was slow to make love to Gordon, but his restraint barely hid the want in the deep thrusts and the hungry noises he breathed into Gordon’s ears.Gordon leaned his head to the side to offer Adler his neck, that spot where the mate bite was, and his wolf didn’t need to be asked twice.

His hips rolled, he thrust, hard and needy, and Gordon couldn’t quite tell what hit him first, the sensation of Adler biting him, or the feeling of his hot cum filling him.

It all mingled together in a heady cocktail, Adler’s teeth breaking his skin, his body claiming him, his arms holding him.Gordon was floating.It felt as if he were cotton-wrapped, safe beyond words.

He noticed, faintly, that Adler pulled out of him at some point, stroked his limbs, his face, his hair, cooed into his ear.Then, he was gone, but only to get a damp cloth and clean Gordon up with tender care, kissing the skin he’d marked as he went.

When Adler was done with that, he finally was back with Gordon, holding him.It was the last thing Gordon knew of that day, such a bright ending to so much darkness.

Chapter 39

Adlerwokeupinthe best of possible places, in bed with his mate.He ran his nose through Gordon’s pixie-pretty blue hair.Gordon was still fast asleep and barely stirred.

I asked this man to marry me,Adler thought.He’d meant it too.Not that it was strictly necessary within the pack, but it would certainly send a strong message to anyone that felt like Adler was just keeping the vampire around for the pleasures of his body.

“You’re mine, sweetheart,” Adler whispered into Gordon’s ear.

“Hmmm,” Gordon said, incoherent as was normal for him pre-caffeination.

Adler smiled and hugged Gordon closer.He’d have this forever, and he couldn’t have asked for a grander gift.

After getting showered and dressed, Adler and Gordon left the apartment and headed for the elevator arm in arm.

“Straight home?”Adler asked his mate.

“Yeah.”Gordon’s eyes were still half-lidded.“I mean, I’d like to check on Raven, but I don’t want to crowd him.I suppose Maxim has him covered.”

Adler nodded even as the elevator opened to the foyer.Bryan was behind his desk, wearing his green jacket and shifting his fruit bowl when they drew closer as if he wanted to draw attention to it.That only worked for a few seconds, because Mil came barreling at them from around the reception desk.

“Oh!”Gordon said as the small wolf hugged him.

“Gordon, Adler!”the little wolf said.
