When he straightened and faced Kodi, the air left his lungs in a rush at the flush of desire he’d never seen before. “If you strip, my animal will vie for control. Just pull your trousers and boxers down over your ass.”

A frown pinched his brows together. “What do you mean vie for control?”

“It wants you. The smell it’s creating is part of how it attracts a mate.” His fingertips ran over his shirt, bringing Kodi’s attention to the perky nipples pressing against the fabric as he spoke. “I have glands here and when in a mating ritual, we rub those glands over anything we can to draw attention.”

His wolf whined.

It at least was in his head, the soft moan that rumbled out of him happened against his will when his cock pulsed at the heated stare and fingers circling one hard bud over the shirt. Kodi didn’t even know if Lennon realized what he was doing.

“Right… okay… yeah. Do you want me to bend over the end of the bed.” The rasp to his voice was pure gravel and his pulse tapped painfully against his veins at the nod.

He took off his suit jacket and threw it at the chair, neither man noticing when it slipped to the floor. The air crackled with a tension that buzzed against his skin as he rolled his sleeves up his forearms. Moving to face the side of the bed silently, his breathing loud in his ears as trembling fingers unbuckled his belt and undid his trousers to tug them down enough to reveal his ass. He kept his cock covered with his shirt. The last thing he wanted was to leave a cum stain of the pristine covers. Because he knew he would come. It wasn’t only because of how wound up he was. The scent. The different dynamic between them. Being in Lennon’s home. His bedroom, while semi naked and hard as flint.

Keeping his gaze on the bed, he braced his hands on the firm mattress and soft covers. Head dangling between his shoulders, he lifted his ass and breathed out. He had learned that directing Lennon only resulted in him not getting to the place he loved, so he waited. The tension rose within him with each passing second.

A soft swish and he closed his eyes, sinking into that place that came with the heat blooming under his skin at the force of the impact. Lennon didn’t go slow like usual. The pain morphed quickly into pleasure. The fiery heat spread through him. His toes curled in his shoes as his labored breathing increased with each thwack Lennon delivered. His aim over the roundness of his cheeks would ensure Kodi would feel him for hours.

Kodi swayed and met the force of the paddle, feeling the edges of his consciousness become cloudy. His balls tightened, and the tingling at the base of his spine increased with each spank. The heat caused his body to break out in a full body sweat. He didn’t hear the keening cries, nor notice that he trembled violently when the cloud stole his vision and he arched back, his arms giving way. His sweat dampened, hair covered, forehead hit the covers right when the sensitive crown caught the material of the front of his shirt with enough abrasion to pull the first ribbon of cum from him in agonizing bliss.

His vision wavered at the violence of his orgasm and he sank into the ecstasy of oblivion.

Chapter Fifteen

Lennon

Lennon eyed Kodi, his lips twitching before tugging into a huge grin. He should hire out his services.

Not on your life.

I was joking.

The awkward way Kodi’s face was mashed into the covers and his lower half dangling off the bed, his red ass hanging out of his trousers, didn’t look comfortable. Lennon took pity on him. He gave Kodi a gentle shake, watching closely to see he was breathing okay when he couldn’t actually see much of his face.

There was no response. He tried again, shaking his shoulder a little harder.

“Kodi?” He didn’t stir, and Lennon swallowed hard enough to hear his throat click. He carefully moved Kodi’s head so his face was pressed against the covers and exhaled, putting his ear next to Kodi’s lips.

Please don’t be dead.

He’s fine.

He’s not waking up! How do we know he’s fine? The feel of warm breath touching him got Lennon saying a little louder, “Kodi, wake up. You’re gonna get a crick in your back.”

Lennon scratched the side of his head while straightening and staring at the man who appeared to have passed out cold. Lennon bit his lower lip, placing the paddle down on the carpet. Seeing no other choice, he placed his knee on the bed and worked on rolling Kodi over into the middle of his bed. His dead weight made it way harder with their size difference. Lennon groaned and mumbled in complaint, breathing hard enough he was surprised he didn’t have a heart attack, hefting and dragging the unconscious alpha over the covers. He wasn’t willing to leave him the way he was now, spread diagonal when he remained unconscious.

Can having an epic orgasm cause a blood vessel to burst in the brain?

He’s just exhausted, I can tell.

Maybe I should ring Jonny just in case?

You’re being silly.

He stared at Kodi and couldn’t deny the dark rings under his eyes were prominent. Although he looked so peaceful, cheeks flushed, mouth relaxed. An air of innocence about him. There was a vulnerability about him in this unguarded moment as he slept.

Lennon dithered, hopping from one foot to another at the side of his bed, his skin cooling and becoming sticky from all the effort. Getting back on the bed to push a pillow under Kodi’s head, he gently brushed the blond-brown hair off his forehead. It was that which got a soft sigh, and Lennon felt a clutch in his chest that got him carefully sliding off the bed when the temptation came to lie down next to Kodi and give in to the need to snuggle in. All his earlier frustration did not seem important right then.

It took effort to drag his gaze away from Kodi’s flushed, attractive face, and note that for his efforts, there was cum smeared on his bed covers. His eyes skimmed down Kodi’s rumpled shirt to where it was wet and rucked up to expose the cock nestled in trimmed blond curls, tempting Lennon to get a closer look. He’d caught glimpses of it before, but he’d never got a good look.
