STORY EXCERPT

“Would you come home with me?” Ethan asked the tall gorgeous man he held in his arms. Breathtaking didn’t begin to describe the man. He seemed like everything Ethan ever dreamed of in a mate, and he was all Ethan’s.

Standing with his body pressed against his, Ethan could feel every sculpted muscle in Jace’s body. He could even feel the hard cock pressing against his abdomen, letting him know how much Jace wanted him.

Stunned amazement filled Ethan when he spotted Jace sitting in the small bar having a drink. The intoxicating scent of the man, deep woodsy and all masculine, instantly entranced him. In all of his wildest dreams, he never thought his mate would be so sexy.

Jace stood several inches taller than Ethan. The collar length chestnut hair framing his face made the sparkle in his grass green eyes stand out. Ethan didn’t know if he ever saw eyes so beautiful before, so dreamy. He knew he would spend the rest of his life happily drowning in their deep green depths.

“So? Will you come home with me?” Ethan asked again when Jace just continued to stare down at him. His heart skipped a beat when Jace leaned down to kiss him. He heard about kisses like these, ones that would make him forget everything but the person in his arms. He just never experienced one.

As Jace’s lips explored his, Ethan felt an urge to crawl right up his tall, muscular body. He wanted to imprint Jace on his senses until he never left. As Jace finally lifted his head, Ethan gazed up at Jace’s face. Ethan’s chest moved rapidly with each hurried breath.

“Is that a yes?”

“Yeah, sweetness, I’ll go home with you,” Jace drawled in his deep, whiskey-rough voice.

If Jace didn’t have his arms around him, Ethan would have jumped around, dancing for joy. Yes! Jace agreed to go home with him. He couldn’t remember ever being this happy before. He grabbed Jace’s hand and led him out of the bar, fantasizing about the night to come.

He spent the majority of his life knowing he was gay, but he never acted on it. He always wanted to save himself for his mate, and now here he stood. Ethan would finally get to do what everyone always talked about. He could barely wait.

Ethan’s apartment was just a block away from the bar, a fact that thrilled him to no end. It took him less than ten minutes to get Jace home, the door locked, and the buttons undone on Jace’s shirt.

As he led Jace into his bedroom, he couldn’t help feeling a little giddy. His mate looked so handsome, he could have anyone that he wanted, but he belonged to Ethan now. In a few minutes, he would truly be his.

“Jace,” Ethan whispered as he watched Jace strip his clothes off. Jace’s eyes seemed intense, almost hazy, as he gazed back at him. Ethan wanted to believe he looked at him with such fierceness in his eyes because he wanted him.

“Are you going to stand there all day just looking, sweetness? Or do you plan on doing a little touching, too?” Jace asked with a deep chuckle.

Ethan could feel his face heat up as he quickly reached for the buttons of his own clothing. He still couldn’t take his eyes off of Jace. He watched him get undressed, then climb onto the bed and lie back.

ADULT EXCERPT

Ethan spread his legs as Jace licked and nibbled down his body. His skin ached everywhere Jace touched. He burned. He wanted to be consumed. He wanted Jace to fuck him until he couldn’t walk. Well, at least until he couldn’t walk without feeling it.

Ethan clenched his fingers in Jace’s hair and pulled. Foreplay felt good, but he wanted to get down to the really good stuff. “Jace,” Ethan pleaded, “need you.”

“Gonna get me, sweetness.”

Ethan understood exactly what Jace meant when his hard cock was enveloped in hot moist heat. Ethan bucked against Jace’s mouth. His mind reeled with the sensations shooting through his body, sensations he never felt before.

 His world spiraled out of control when he felt two lubed fingers push into his ass. Between the mouth around his cock and the fingers in his ass, Ethan felt so stimulated he knew he could fly to the moon.

“Jace!” Ethan cried out. “I can’t—I can’t—Aahhh!” Fingers pushed into his body once again and curved inward, touching the hidden button inside. Ethan saw sparks of light flash before his eyes as his seed erupted into Jace’s mouth. Then the world went dark.

* * * *

Jace swallowed all of Ethan’s release then cleaned him up with his tongue. Once done, he slowly licked his way back up Ethan’s body, his fingers still moving inside Ethan’s tight ass. Ethan had come. Now it was his turn.

He pulled his fingers from Ethan’s ass and squirted some more lube on his cock. He wanted to make things as easy as possible for Ethan. No pain, only pleasure. He scooted up between Ethan’s legs and pushed the head of his cock against Ethan’s hole. Then he looked up.

Jace’s mouth dropped open in surprise. Ethan was out cold. For a moment, Jace worried that he hurt Ethan in some way. His heart pounded as he leaned over Ethan and tried to shake him awake, his hard cock forgotten.

“Ethan? Baby?” He said softly. “Ethan? Come on, wake up.”

Ethan’s eyes fluttered.

“That’s it, come on, sweetness, open those beautiful blue eyes for me.”

Ethan’s eyes fluttered again, then opened, a dazed look in them. “What happened?” Ethan asked, looking around as if confused. As he looked down, his face suddenly flooded with color. “Oh lord, I passed out again,” Ethan groaned. “I have got to stop doing that.”

“You’re okay?” Jace asked, still concerned. “I didn’t hurt you?”

If possible, Ethan’s face blushed even more as he shook his head. “No, you didn’t hurt me. If anything you—well, you didn’t hurt me.”

Jace watched Ethan for just a moment then chuckled. “We’re going to have to work on your stamina.”

Assured that Ethan was okay Jace’s body started to notice the sexy man it pinned to the bed. Jace’s cock hardened right back up, wanting its turn. Jace grabbed his cock with his free hands and pushed against Ethan again.

“You ready for me?”

Ethan grinned. That was all the invitation Jace needed. He slowly pushed his way in, watching Ethan’s face for any sign of discomfort. When one didn’t come, Jace thrust the rest of the way in until he was seated to the root.

Oh, he was in heaven. Ethan’s grip around Jace’s aching cock felt better than anything he ever felt. Jace began to slowly move. Each gentle thrust took him higher. He knew they were meant to be together. Ethan’s body fit his perfectly.

Jace grabbed Ethan’s leg with his free hand and lifted it up to place it over his shoulder when Ethan suddenly cried out. It didn’t sound like a cry of pleasure. Jace froze and looked down at his mate.

“What?” he asked quickly. “What is it?”

Ethan’s tear stained eyes looked up to look at Jace. “I can’t—I don’t bend like that anymore.”

“Do you want me to stop?” Jace asked.

Ethan shook his head. “No, but how—” Ethan stopped, his face burning red.

Jace grinned. “Not to worry, sweetness, I have an idea.” He quickly slid out of Ethan’s body and rolled the man onto his side. He patted Ethan’s hand as he cuddled up behind him. Grabbing a pillow, he placed it between Ethan’s legs, then moved in again.

Jace clasped the hand cuffed to him and wrapped it around Ethan’s body, Ethan’s head lying on his arm. He used his free hand to grab Ethan’s hip, then slowly pushed his cock back into Ethan’s hot grasp.

“There are a lot of different ways that we can do this, sweetness,” Jace whispered into Ethan’s ear. “Half the fun will be figuring out which ones work for us.”

Ethan turned his head to look back at Jace. “You’re not mad?”

“Never. This position is just as good as any other, maybe even better,” Jace replied. “This way I have something to hold onto while I fuck you.” To back up his words, Jace reached around and grabbed Ethan’s cock with his free hand. He began pumping it as he thrust into Ethan from behind.

Jace felt Ethan’s hand tighten around his. “Is this okay, Ethan? You’re not hurting?”

“No, I’m good.” He sounded breathless. “I—oh, oh, right there, Jace.”

Jace grinned. He stroked Ethan faster. He thrust faster. Ethan’s little moans of delight sent Jace through the roof. He just knew his cock would explode any moment. The warning tingle began to tickle his spine.

“Ethan, I want to claim you again.”
