“This is all for me.”

“Every inch. Do you think you can take it?”

“God. God, yes. How do you want me?”

Orion stopped for a second, smiled. “I’ll let you ride me. That way you can curl down when we’re knotted, I’ll cover us up, and we can rest together. Sometimes, the after is more magical than the doing, right?”

“Yes.” He pushed Orion, encouraging him down. “I have amazing pillows.”

“They smell like you.” Orion turned and settled into the sheets, stroking his own cock, showing off a little bit for Cullen, and he appreciated every second of it.

He licked his lips, the bead of moisture at the tip of Orion’s cock calling him to taste it. “Can I?”

“Anything, my fae. Anything you want.” Orion arched up off the bed, offering himself right up.

“Mmmm.” Putting his hands down on either side of those muscular hips, he licked, the flavor exploding inside him. It was like…it was like super creamy sea-salt caramel ice cream on a hot day. Smooth on his tongue, spiced with a little saline flavor, but also with that little tang cream gave a caramel ribbon.

“You’re comparing me to ice cream?” Orion stared down over that flat belly.

“It’s my favorite.” He licked again, and then Orion yanked him up, touching him again, fingers sliding into him. “Wet. Are you ready for me, baby?”

Oh, no fair pulling out the baby card. It made his cock jerk. He’d always loved that in books. He was totally a romance guy.

“Yeah.” He panted, riding those fingers, but needing something way bigger.

“Come on up here and take me in when you’re ready.”

He crawled up Orion’s body, eager to feel what his mate’s cock could do for him. He straddled Orion, his thighs shaking as he rose up, and Orion helped guide him into place, that cock slipping into him an inch at a time.

Finally, gravity pulled him down, and he was fully seated.

He grunted, willing, but Orion grabbed his hips. “No, love. Not yet. Don’t move yet.”

A low sound escaped him, and Cullen would hit anyone who called it a whine. “But I need to move.”

“Soon, love. Soon.” Orion drew in a deep breath, and when he let it out, butterflies appeared, sparkling in the light, then bursting into glitter that disappeared.

“Oh. Nice.” Cullen loved that. And he had a feeling it was totally spontaneous, not planned out for effect.

He waited, his body on fire, and finally, his mate let him move. Moaning, Cullen started rising and falling, riding just like Orion had said. He controlled the pace this way, controlled the depth, and Cullen felt powerful.

He also felt damn beautiful when Orion looked at him, touched him, hands sliding up over his ribs to his chest, fingers plucking at his nipples.

“Oh. Oh, goddess.”

“Uh-huh. That’s it, baby. Take all of me. Can you feel my knot? It’s almost ready for you. You’re so tight and hot. You feel like paradise. I’ve never wanted anything more.”

“I needed you so much, and I waited…”

“I did too. I’ve had lovers, but you’re my mate. Mine. And you’re all I’ll ever need now.”

That warmed him, and he moved faster, feeling that knot swell for him, filling him, threatening to lock him into place. He took Orion’s hand and put it on his cock, and Orion stroked him, tugging good and hard, letting him really feel it.

“Please. Orion. Love. Please.” He shook his head, trying to understand what he was experiencing, but it was too much. It was overloading his nerves, and sparkles started to shoot from him, his very skin seeming to glow.

Orion was the same way. He shimmered like the most beautiful after-a-storm rainbow.

He felt that knot fill him, and he grunted, because now all he could do was rock back and forth, his hips jerking madly.
