Ethan's breath caught."Calder, we just?—"

"I know," I interrupted."I know it's crazy.But I meant what I said last night.You're mine, and I'm yours.I don't want to let you go."

His green eyes searched mine, and I saw the moment he made his decision."Okay," he whispered."But I have conditions."

"Name them."

"No more running away when things get intense.No more pushing me away just to pull me back again."His thumb traced along my jawline."And eventually, when you're ready, I want the truth.All of it."

My wolf whined at the impossible promise, but I found myself nodding anyway."Deal."

Chapter24

Ethan

Before I knew what was happening, Calder and I had landed on his couch in a tangle of limbs, our mouths locked together.His tongue swirled around mine, desperate and claiming, while I leaned back, letting him take whatever he wanted from me.The heat of his hard, thick cock pressed against my thigh insistently through his jeans.My own was straining against my boxer, the thin fabric doing nothing to hide the pre-cum already leaking from my tip.Something about Calder… his scent, his possessiveness… it got me so hot so fast I could barely think.

"Fuck," Calder breathed against my lips, his hands roaming down my sides with barely restrained hunger."You smell so good."

His words sent a shiver through me that had nothing to do with the cool morning air.There was something primal in the way he said it, like he was breathing me in, memorizing my scent.His fingers found the hem of his t-shirt that I was wearing, sliding underneath to explore the warm skin of my stomach.

"Calder," I gasped as his calloused palms mapped the planes of my chest, his touch leaving trails of fire in its wake."What's gotten into you?"

He pulled back just enough to look at me, those brown eyes darker than I'd ever seen them, flecked with gold that seemed to swirl and dance."You," he said simply, his voice rough with want."It's always you."

Before I could process what he meant, his mouth was on my throat, lips and teeth working against the sensitive skin there.I arched beneath him, my hands fisting in his shirt as pleasure shot straight to my groin.The way he was touching me, claiming me with his mouth, felt wonderfully possessive.Like he was marking me.

"I need you," he murmured against my neck, his breath hot and urgent."Need to be inside you."

The raw desire in his voice made my cock throb painfully against the confines of my boxers.I'd never wanted anything as much as I wanted him in that moment, all of him, claiming me completely.

"Yes," I breathed, tilting my head back to give him better access to my throat."Please, Calder.I want that too."

A low growl rumbled through his chest at my words, so deep I felt it vibrate against my skin.His hands moved with new purpose, sliding down to the waistband of my boxers.

"Are you sure?"he asked, pulling back to search my face.Despite the hunger burning in his eyes, there was tenderness there too, a need for my consent that made my heart skip.

"I've never been more sure of anything," I replied, reaching up to cup his face in my hands."I want you to take me."

Something shifted in his expression then, becoming almost reverent.He leaned down to capture my lips again, this kiss slower, deeper, full of promise.His tongue swept into my mouth as his hands worked to strip away the last barriers between us.

When we were both finally naked, skin against heated skin, he took my hand and led me into the bedroom.There he instructed me to lay down.“I’ll take care of everything,” he said.“I just want you to enjoy yourself.”

He sure had a lot of confidence for a man who’d never been with another man before.But instead of raising the concern that this was going to be a two-pump fling, it just turned me on more.I had no doubt he would do a good job.

I watched as he retrieved the lube from the top drawer of his nightstand.However, instead of positioning himself between my legs, he crawled into bed behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.His thick and throbbing cock pressed against my ass, reminding me with every heartbeat of what I’d gotten myself into.But all I could do was sit there and leak pre-cum onto the bed, my own heart racing with anticipation.

“You smell so good when you’re turned on,” he whispered, the words seeming almost instinctual.He flipped the cap on the lube and coated his fingers before reaching down my body.“Let me get you ready for me.”

His fingers slid between my cheeks, teasing at my entrance with gentle, circular motions.The cool gel warmed quickly against my skin as he worked me open with surprising patience, his lips trailing kisses across my shoulders and neck.

"Is this okay?"he murmured against my ear, his voice husky with desire.

"God, yes," I gasped as one finger slipped inside me.The intrusion burned slightly, but his careful movements soon had me pressing back against his hand, seeking more.

"That's it," he encouraged, adding a second finger."Just relax for me, pup."

I reached back, threading my fingers through his dark hair as he continued to stretch me.His fingers curved inside me, searching, and when they found that spot deep within, I cried out, my cock jerking against my stomach.
