"So be fast."
"Are you insane?"
"Not yet, but I think I'll get there soon unless you remove your clothing and claim me."
Claim?What did it mean?Not bite, right?"How do I claim you?"
Thano raised his hips and pushed his pants down before attacking the button in Eli's jeans."Fuck me."
A shudder went through Eli.It had been years, many years."Are you sure it's a--"
"Come on, Eli."He pushed at Eli's jeans, baring his ass before turning toward the bedside table and pulling the drawer out.Eli watched as Thano grabbed a small bottle of oil.
"You have..."His voice died away.
Thano looked at him."Vampires have needs too."
And did he have those needs sated by someone?"Do you have a...lover?"Did he bring the people he fed from here?If said lover was supernatural, Eli wasn't sure this was a good idea.He didn't want to get his throat ripped out.
Thano made a sound of disbelief."I'm not well-liked by my kin.A shifter would never be with a vampire.And we don't bring humans to The Moonlight Ranch."
"You don't?"He was here, as was Romeo.
Thano made a face."Until last year, we didn't allow humans to come to The Moonlight Ranch."He uncapped the bottle and poured oil into his palm.Next, he wrapped the slick hand around Eli's length, earning him a moan.
After a few pumps, he poured more oil into his hand and kicked his legs a little to get his pants farther down.Eli pushed up on his knees and tugged them free of first one foot, then the other.He removed Thano's socks too.When he looked up again, Thano had two fingers moving in and out of his ass, and Eli all but swallowed his tongue."Thano."
Thano put a foot on Eli's chest and arched his back.Eli's gaze zeroed in on his fingers.They moved in a steady rhythm, glistening with oil as they disappeared into his hole only to then come back out.
Eli ran his hand up Thano's thigh, pushing the foot a little higher on his chest as he moved closer.Thano's lips were parted, there was a small crease between his brows, and his breath was coming in puffs.
"Thano?"Eli glanced at the window.How likely was it that a crow would fly by?What would happen if one did?
"Just a second.I don't do this often, and..."
Something in Eli relaxed, and he smiled.Sliding his hand along the inside of Thano's thigh, he curled his fingers around Thano's wrist, stilling his thrusts.He was moving a little too fast, being a little too forceful.Eli cooed.He didn't know why, but it had Thano snap his eyes open.
"Easy."Eli brought up his free hand and caressed the oil-slicked skin stretching around Thano's knuckles, noting how he shivered at the touch.Eli stroked around the two fingers still partly buried inside him, feeling the taut skin, the heat.
"Ugh."Thano tilted his chin toward the ceiling.
"You said to be quiet," Eli whispered as he pushed Thano's foot over his shoulder and turned his head to kiss his knee before grabbing his wrist again.He made sure Thano's fingers remained inside as he slid a finger along the rim.Not pushing, only petting.Thano clenched and moaned.
"No, no.Quiet now."
Thano glared at him, and Eli grinned before looking down at their hands.He pushed a little on Thano's, watching the fingers slide in deeper.He was fully aware Thano could do whatever he wanted, he was much stronger than Eli was, but he remained passive, allowed Eli to call the shots, and it had heat exploding in his chest.And groin.
"Don't move."
Thano looked at him as he got off the bed and kicked off his jeans and removed his socks.Then he crawled back onto the mattress and kissed his way up Thano's thigh.He then kissed the backside of the hand still poised in the same position as it had been when Eli had told Thano not to move.It made him groan, and he gently pushed at it, forcing the fingers deeper.
"Eli."
"Mm."
"I'm ready."
Eli didn't think he was."I'm not."
