Page 40 of Sobek’s Joy

Sobek didn’t make him ask twice. He crawled onto the bed, caging Rudy in with his arms, his body heat seeping into Rudy’s skin. Their mouths crashed together again, tongues tangling, teeth clacking. Rudy wrapped his legs around Sobek’s waist, grinding up against him, needing more.

Sobek broke the kiss with a groan. “Patience.”

“I’ve been patient for weeks,” Rudy snapped. “I want you inside me. Now.”

Sobek’s nostrils flared. For a second, Rudy thought he’d argue, but then Sobek’s hand pressed flat against Rudy’s stomach, and a wave of warmth spread through him, pooling low in his gut.

Rudy gasped. “What the…oh.”

The sensation was…indescribable. It was like he was being stretched open, but without the burn or any of the discomfort. There was just pleasure, burning deep inside, making his body ache with need.

“Just a spot of magic,” Sobek murmured against his lips. “So I don’t hurt you.”

Rudy could only moan in response, his hips lifting off the bed. “Please.”

Sobek didn’t tease him after that. He lined himself up, his cock pressing against Rudy’s entrance, and then, with what had to have been infinite control, he slowly pushed in.

Rudy’s breath stuttered. It had been a while - a very long while - and even with the magic, the stretch was a lot. But Sobek gave him time, moving slowly inch by inch, until he was fully seated inside Rudy, their bodies flush.

“Okay?” Sobek’s voice was strained, his forehead pressed to Rudy’s.

“Yeah.” Rudy exhaled, adjusting to the fullness. “Yeah, just…a lot. Move.”

Sobek did, and oh, it was good. So freaking good. Rudy’s toes curled, his nails digging into Sobek’s back. Sobek set a steady rhythm, deep and rolling, hitting that spot inside Rudy that made his vision white out at the edges.

“More,” Rudy demanded, his voice rough. “Harder.”

Sobek groaned. His hips snapped forward, driving into Rudy with a force that had the headboard knocking against the wall. Rudy didn’t care. He loved the weight of Sobek on top of him, the way his muscles flexed with every thrust, and the sounds he made, low and guttural, as if Rudy was the best thing he’d ever had.

Rudy’s cock was trapped between them, leaking, aching. He reached down to stroke himself, but Sobek batted his hand away, taking over. His big, calloused palm wrapped around Rudy’s length, stroking in time with his thrusts, and any semblance of control Rudy might have had was shattered.

Pleasure crashed over him, his orgasm ripping through him so hard his back bowed off the bed. He came in thick pulses, his release painting both their chests, his body clenching tight around Sobek’s cock.

Sobek followed with a growl, his thrusts turning erratic before he buried himself deep and came with a groan, his release filling Rudy in a way that felt right.

Rudy was still floating, his body humming, when Sobek leaned down and bit him.

The pain was immediate, but just as quickly it morphed into something else entirely - a rush of heat, of connection, like a rope snapping into place between them. Rudy gasped, his fingers flying to the spot where Sobek’s teeth were still embedded in his shoulder. And then there was light.

A glow spread across Sobek’s chest, golden and shimmering, before settling into the shape of a tattoo, intricate and beautiful, right over his heart.

Rudy’s breath caught. “What the…?”

Sobek pulled back, his tongue swiping over the bite mark on Rudy’s shoulder before pressing a kiss to it. “The Fates saw fit to mark me, too, on your behalf. That’s your claim on me.”

Rudy touched the mark on Sobek’s chest - a crocodile, coiled protectively around a lotus flower. “It’s…”

“Us,” Sobek said, his voice rough with emotion. “Forever.”

Rudy didn’t need to ask what that meant. He felt the bond between them, thick and unbreakable, like a current running beneath his skin. He could sense what Sobek was feeling - his satisfaction, possessiveness, and a deep, abiding love that made Rudy’s chest ache.

“Wow,” Rudy breathed. There really wasn’t anything else he could say.

Sobek cupped his face, his thumb brushing Rudy’s bottom lip. “Mine.”

Rudy grinned. “Oh, yes, definitely yours, and you’re mine, too.”
