“Kiss?” Nix whispers, heart in his eyes and a small, sweet smile at Gideon’s romantic words.

“Always.”

Nix throws his arms around Gideon’s neck and leads with his tongue, licking into Gideon’s mouth. Nix kisses like he does everything now—like this is both the first time and the last he’s going to get to do it—with enthusiasm andteeth.

He’s purring around Gideon’s tongue when he remembers he’s got plans. Before it can escalate further, Gideon pries him loose, because he’s here to teach his saucy Kitten a lesson about using his nice words.

“Ready, Kitten? Color?”

“I was enjoying that.”

“You’ll enjoy this more, no? Now, color?” Gideon pushes him down on his back and stops for just a moment just to see his love smile.

“Hands up over your head for now, and do as you’re told.”

“Green.” Nix raises his arms and arches his back a little. It pops that round belly up, so Gideon just has to bite a little mark just under his belly button.

“You look so pretty, round with our babies.”

Gideon licks a line down and catches the tip of his cock, then slides the cock ring down, using his saliva to ease the way. It’s not a tight fit, as it’s custom-made for Luca, and Nix is smaller than his Honey. But Nix still arches up and moans at the grip and pressure.

“Oh god, does it get better than that?”

He has always been a bit more of a “show” than “tell” person, so he makes sure the triangle-shaped piece is in place behind Nix’s balls, then flips the small switch to a low hum.

It’s gratifying to see Nix’s eyes roll back with a deep groan.

“On your hands and knees. Show me where you want me.”

It takes a slap to his silky thigh to get Nix’s attention back on the task at hand.

“So pretty, Baby.”

The praise makes Nix moan again, and a stream of sugary, vanilla-scented slick slips down his thigh.

“Head down and ass up, arch your back. That’s it.”

Gideon lifts his ass-cheeks and lets them fall; they’re still so small, but the plushness the babies have added is appreciated. There’s a single handprint left over from his spankings outside, and he wishes he could tattoo it right there for eternity. Alas, he just has to keep refreshing it often.

“Are you just going to stand around all fucking day? I said fuck me.”

That tone does things to Gideon’s wolf. Make him want to thrust in hard until his omega begs and cries, but he forces the urge down.

He will not be provoked into finishing this too soon, and instead sits back on his heels. Gathering his mate’s slick in one hand, he uses it to smooth the glide on his aching cock with a groan. The silence stretches between them until he’s sure Nix is going to snap.

Just as the tension might break, Gideon slides two fingers of his other hand into Nix’s winking hole up to the last knuckle.

“Show me how much you want this, Kitten. Move on my fingers. I’ll tell you when to stop.”

Nix moans ayes, rolling his hips back and forth, trying to get the digits in deeper, to get some satisfaction from this small amount of penetration. A sheen of sweat beads on his spine, glowing in the low light from the bedroom window. The filthy sound of his slick fills the near-silence of the room.

Gideon rewards his efforts by curling his fingers down and finding Nix’s prostate from the inside, while the vibrator does the same from the outside.

“I–I thought you were going to fuck m–me. Is this all you’ve got?”

In the next blink, Gideon is on his knees, with the head of his cock pressed against that inviting hole. He hadn’t any conscious thought about doing it, but his wolf must have had enough of his omega’s lip.

He pops just the head of his cock in, to feel the heat and the clench. To feel Nix bear down and moan so deep, his voice is virtually subsonic.
