Page 21 of Handcuffs & Honey

The tub was big enough. That was one reason Julian had wanted to soak. Most tubs barely had room to move around, but considering Dominic was a bear shifter, a huge guy even in his human form, Julian supposed he would need something way bigger.

“Only if you promise to announce yourself the next time you come home.” Julian sat up. Dominic slipped in behind him, and then Julian settled back.

“Honey, I’m home,” Dominic said.

“Too late.” Julian slapped Dominic’s leg. “You have to do it when you enter the door, not after you’ve scared ten years off my life.”

“Sorry.” Dominic kissed the top of Julian’s head. “I didn’t mean to scare you. I thought you heard me.”

“I heard something,” Julian replied. “How was I supposed to know it was you?”

Julian still wasn’t mad. Not anymore. Not when he had his naked mate behind him and he could feel Dominic’s cock bobbing against his lower back. Now all Julian could think about was what he wanted to do with that bobbing cock.

He shifted in the water, reaching out to trace circles on Dominic’s thigh. The man let out a relaxing groan.

Julian turned to face him and said in a husky voice, “I think I might forgive you… if you promise me something.”

“Anything.” Dominic’s eyes gleamed with desire.

“You have to promise not to scare me like that again. I don’t like feeling so vulnerable.”

“I promise,” Dominic said, his voice a deep rumble. “I’ll call and let you know when I’m in the driveway, if that’s what it takes to make you feel safe.”

He leaned in and kissed Julian, and Julian melted into his embrace. All his worries evaporated as Dominic cupped his face, his lips molding against Julian’s own.

Dominic pulled away, leaving Julian panting.

“Now, where were we?” Dominic murmured.

“Right here.” Julian pushed himself away, then lower, until he was looking directly at the head of Dominic’s cock. That was the only part not submerged in water. Then he smirked when Dominic lifted his hips, as if reading Julian’s mind.

Julian took Dominic’s cock between his lips, his tongue gliding slowly along the hard length. He felt the shudder that ran through Dominic’s body, and then his mate tangled his hand in Julian’s hair, guiding him. Julian flicked his tongue and sucked, his mouth taking all of Dominic in.

Dominic’s breathing grew heavy, and then he gasped as he arched his back. His hand strangled Julian’s hair as he came, shouting his release. Julian drank him down, lapping up every last drop before he pulled back.

With a growl, Dominic pulled Julian up. Julian straddled his mate’s waist, smiling down at him.

“You know how to welcome someone home.” Dominic gripped his cock and guided the head to Julian’s ass.

“Lube,” Julian said, barely able to string two thoughts together.

“In the medicine cabinet.”

Julian got out, quickly grabbed the bottle of lube, then hurried back to the tub, taking up his position once again. Dominic wet his fingers then plunged them inside Julian’s body.

Julian gasped, pressing himself against Dominic’s chest as he groaned. Before Julian knew it, Dominic was pulling his fingers free and replacing them with his cock, inching inside Julian as Julian shuddered.

“You feel incredible,” Dominic said fervently, his voice thick with emotion.

Julian closed his eyes and gasped as Dominic filled him completely. The sensation was overwhelming, and he clung to Dominic as if his life depended on it. The water in the tub sloshed as they moved together as one, their bodies joined in the most intimate of connections.

Julian felt the stretch, the burn, and relished it as he thrust upward then slammed back down. His nails dug into Dominic’s shoulders, and he watched in utter fascination as raw pleasure crossed his mate’s face.

A week ago Julian hadn’t been able to have a conversation with Dominic without becoming flustered. He’d never thought, not in a million years, that he would not only be mated to the guy but having bathtub sex.

Dominic gripped Julian’s hips and moved faster, driving harder inside Julian’s ass. Julian let go, letting Dominic take the lead as his own cock pressed between them.

When Dominic sank his canines into Julian’s shoulder, it was over. At first, it hurt, and Julian had a flashback of the wolf attacking him. But that pain morphed into a pleasure he’d never experienced before.
