Most of the trauma had come after he was pregnant.

He tugged at Lachlan’s clothes impatient with the barrier between them and Lachlan folded his wings and backed away so they could undress.

They didn’t speak. They just smiled at each other as they tore off their clothes and as one they moved to the bed, Lachlan helping him along with a hand on the small of his back.

Once they were settled he climbed aboard Lachlan’s lap, his hands on Lachlan’s shoulders, and took the kiss he really wanted. He pressed his tongue into Lachlan’s mouth, this time leading the kiss, letting Lachlan know he was ready for more.

Their cocks rubbed together, and he felt as though Lachlan was utterly enormous, just beautiful and huge and hot against him.

“Oh sweet, you’re so amazing. I can feel you and you’re wet on my thighs. Are you ready for this? Is this what you want?”

He nodded, staring into Lachlan’s eyes. “I want everything with you.”

“I want to give you everything — in a very practical sense.” Lachlan winked, rubbing against him with his thick, heavy cock. “I ache to be inside you. I want you to be ready, because this is all for you.”

“Mmm, and when it’s your knot, it’ll be even more.” He felt wicked and daring, sexual and alive. It was an amazing feeling.

“Oh you are really naughty, pun intended.”

“I am.” Kieran giggled a bit, which made him feel silly, but he couldn’t help it. There was a great deal of joy in this, and he was going grasp it with both hands.

Lachlan arranged him on his back on the bed so he reclined on his pile of pillows, and he didn’t mind being manhandled. Not even a bit.

Lachlan knelt over him, eyes dragging over his skin like a touch. “You’re perfect.”

He stretched a little, showing off, feeling as if he really was perfect. The way Lachlan looked at him made him want to preen.

He also reached up to put a hand on Lachlan’s chest. “So are you. You’re strong, a true guardian, beautiful, like you’re carved from stone.”

Lachlan puffed up the tiniest bit and preened for him. It was adorable. Someone had not been praised enough in his life.

Kieran closed his eyes and focused his magic, letting Lachlan see it for the first time.

He could feel the light pouring from his fingertips, from his nose as he breathed out. When he opened his eyes, he saw the shimmer of pure platinum, making Lachlan’s skin scales glimmer in the light, creating their own glow. It was beautiful and telling because Lachlan’s true self was shining for him.

Lachlan’s eyes went wide. “You’re making me beautiful,”

Kieran chuckled and shook his head. “No, no, that’s you. I didn’t create the light. I just let you shine.”

Lachlan’s eyes flashed, and he reached down and tilted Kieran’s head up with one hand and drew him close, kissing him so deep that it made his eyes roll back in his head. He clung to those broad shoulders, shivering under the weight of Lachlan’s need.

He shook with the heat of the kiss. With the deep, rising tide of desire in his cock. His ass clenched, and he wanted to feel Lachlan’s dick, deep inside, filling him up, the knot swelling inside him.

“Can I test to see if you’re ready?” Lachlan asked when they broke for air.

“I am. I guarantee it.”

“I don’t want to rush you.”

Kieran laughed out loud. “You won’t be. I want you to knot me.”

Lachlan grunted, hips rocking that cock up against him. “I want that too. Soon. I’m so hard.”

“You so are. Delicious.” Kieran reached down and stroked him, base to tip.

“Mmmm. Feels so good. Your hand. I’ve dreamed about you.”

How amazing. He loved that.
