Page 17 of The Fall Before the Heat

I craved the touch of his bare flesh moving over my throbbing dick but didn’t dare even breathe harder than I had to. Del’s heart pounded like crazy, the sound driving into my ears. I stroked his hair, careful not to take a fistful of it yet. That could come later. Maybe. If he was into that sort of thing. Instead, I let him lead the way to where he wanted to go. His fist moved faster, until I was sure the fabric of the pocket would give out. It stayed strong as he stroked me until my hips rocked, bobbing his head, even as he pressed his cheek hard against my belly. Spirals of pleasure dominated my dick, traveling up and down, following my mate’s hand.

“Del,” I managed to say. “I’m—I’m close, Del.”

“It’s okay,” he whispered, his warm breath playing against my flesh. “I do the laundry. I don’t mind.”

I started to laugh, because he was right, but the chuckle morphed to a growl as my balls drew up even tighter to my body. He squeezed me hard, sending me over the edge. I growled again in victory or pleasure, I wasn’t sure.

I panted as his fingers continued to stroke me, as my hips ground up into his touch, until there was no more pleasure to milk out of me.

“Will you come up here now?” I panted out the words.

Del crawled up my body and his lips crashed against mine for a kiss. Heat even scorched his plump kissable mouth. I reached between our bodies and undid my pants. I kicked them off along with my boxers, ridding us of most of the mess.

“You’re naked now,” Del whispered against my lips.

“Is that okay?” I asked.

“I like you this way,” he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

Chapter Eleven

Del

Rex’s hands slid down my back to cup my ass through my jeans as he asked, “What do you want me to do to make you feel good?”

A thousand answers ran through my head, but I wasn’t ready to touch less of him. I didn’t want him to move out from under me. I had him right where I wanted him. He couldn’t run away or go put on more layers. Sure, maybe heat clouded my judgement, but I wanted what I wanted. I wanted him.

I pressed my ass back against his big strong hands and he kneaded his fingers into my flesh. I wanted him to touch me everywhere, to cover me in scent, and make it impossible to think about anything else except for him. The magic of the true-mate response was already doing a good job at the latter.

“Do you want me to finger you?” He whispered.

“The pants have to go,”my wolf whimpered inside my thoughts.

The furry guy was right. Nothing was sliding into me with all these clothes on. Why the hell had I worn skinny jeans today? Sure, they made my ass look good, but now they were stuck on me and I’d have to get off Rex to strip out of them.

“Do you need help?” Rex asked, as if he was already reading my thoughts.

Of course, he wasn’t actually reading my thoughts or even hearing them. That wouldn’t come until after we exchanged the true-mate vows.

“I think so,” I laughed. “It’s too hot in here. Can we open the window?”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Rex said, glancing over my shoulder. “It’s snowing and you’re in heat. I know we’re all civilized shifters here at the academy, but sweetheart, all it would take was one smartass catcalling you – they wouldn’t even have to know it was you, and I’d eviscerate them. I’m undone, Del. Maybe I was undone the moment you showed up at the front door. If I wasn’t then, I am now. I don’t want to share you with anyone. I don’t want anyone else smelling how fucking delicious you smell right fucking now.”

“Fuck!” I growled. “Get me out of my pants now if you’re going to keep talking like that.”

In a swift thrust of his whole body, Rex flipped me onto my back. I landed with a soft thud on the mattress, laughing. He was strong, so fucking strong and he was mine, all fucking mine. He slid off the bed as he undid my fly. A second later, his thumbs tucked under the waistband of my jeans – no room for underwear under these. He gave them a sharp yank down over my ass and hips. They caught on my thighs for a second and I kicked my legs trying to help him. A few seconds later, they landed on the floor and Rex was back on the bed with me.

He was over top of me, close enough to kiss. His dick was hard again, already. Its thick head brushed against my hard shaft, leaving behind a dab of moist pre-cum. I swallowed hard, biting back a howl. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down for a hard kiss. Our tongues danced between our mouths and his hand snaked over my belly not stopping until it reached my dick. His fingers wrapped around me one by one as if he was testing how much pressure I could handle. I whimpered against the kiss. His hand was cooler than my flesh – chilling me to my bones, in the best possible way. He stroked me slowly, savoring the contours of my body. My hips grated in time with his strokes, but I needed more. I needed something inside me. My body was hungry for him – dick, fingers, some fuckingtoy he pulled out of nowhere. It didn’t matter as long as the deep ache inside my omegahole was sated.

I spread my legs wider, giving him room to press down against my body, but he couldn’t while stroking my dick.

“Alpha,” I moaned the word, holding onto it and drawing out each small part of it.

Rex’s soft fingers abandoned my dick and traced circles over my balls before going lower still. He drew lazy circles through the slickness pooled outside of my omegahole before finally plunging that teaser finger of his inside me. I squeezed him hard, trying to suck the digit into my body further than it could go.

“So fucking slick, mate,” Rex murmured and kissed me again.

I rocked my hips, moving over his finger, as he fed another into my slick, hungry hole. His fingers rocked, hitting all the perfect spots inside of me as if someone drew him a roadmap straight to my orgasm. It didn’t take him long to push me hard and fast along the path of pleasure. I was too hot and too needy to let him draw out the moment for too long. I came hard and Rex licked away the evidence from my cock and belly. He swallowed down my pleasure before coming back up for a kiss.
