He’s always been handsome, but life with Levi had brought out a new side to him. He was so wonderfully cheery and sweet, so easily excitable. And somehow, all that made him even more beautiful.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Julian asks, curling his legs under himself.

“How am I looking at you?” I ask as I cock my head back.

His blue eyes shift between mine before they drop to my lips. “Like you want to kiss me and you’re hoping I’ll let you do more.”

I barely swallow my groan .“I thought Felix finished the room today.”

Julian tries for a frown, but sucks at faking it. Then he’s looking at me, smirking like the deviant he is. “He did.”

This time, I let my groan out as arousal sends my blood rushing south.

Julian and I hadn’t really fucked in over a month. We were used to doing whatever we wanted, wherever we wanted, but one of the many things that changed with a kid around was how quickly life became PG.

Sex was now reserved strictly for the bedroom. In the dead of night. When we were already exhausted from the day. It was made up of slow, careful thrusts—Julian’s hands clasped over his mouth because Levi’s ears were just as sharp as ours, and neither of us wanted to scar the kid for life.

There was pleasure, but it wasn’t pleasure like we were used to when we were mainly focused on keeping quiet. It sucked like all hell.

I thought it’d be our new normal until Emitt suggested we do what he and Beckett did to their place by soundproofing our room. I almost kissed the fucker I was so grateful.

“We can hear anything out there, but he won’t hear a thing in here,” Julian whispers as he drags himself up the bed.

“So, that means we’re free to do whatever we want?” I ask as I crawl after him. “We don’t have to be quiet anymore?”

Julian shakes his head, eyes dropping to my mouth. He stops in the centre of the bed, spreading his legs to let me in, and I groan before I slam my lips into his.

We share a moan, and it’s so wonderfully loud. It sends shivers down my spine as desire flares to life between us. Julian parts his lips, opening up for me, and I groan as I slide my tongue inside for a taste.

Sparks dance between us, making every touch electric as Julian slides a hand into my hair and tugs me closer. I’m already falling into the snare that is Julian Heil, but the nagging in the back of my mind has me tearing away with a groan.

“What? What’s wrong?” he pants as he pulls me back to him.

“The door,” I mumble while his lips kiss around mine. “I have to lock it.”

I wait for him to release me, but Julian just tugs me closer as he whispers, “I already did.”

“Good Goddess, I love you,” I groan before I pounce on him.

I press him down on the bed as I claim his lips as mine, and Julian moans beneath me. We kiss with abandon, nipping and licking as arousal floods every inch of our bodies. I draw back for air, but barely allow myself a breath as I drop to press my kisses to his neck.

I work my way down until I reach his collar. I tug it aside and suck on his mark. Julian arches from the bed with a cry that makes me leak. My blood pounds in my ears like it’s the heat again, and all I want is my mate.

I yank his underwear down with his shorts as I force his legs further apart with my knee. He spreads them for me and I’m quick to wrap my hand around his cock. Julian moans as I stroke him, already thrusting up into my palm as his pleasure paints our bond.

“Aiden,” he moans as his cock jerks in my palm. “I don’t want to come yet.”

And he will soon if I keep this up. I’m still worshipping his mark with my lips, and he’s dripping like it’s our first time, and I love his sounds too much to stop. I keep stroking, goading him on until I suddenly find myself on my back with Julian on top of me.

“Be careful how you play with me, Aiden,” he growls as his eyes glow. “I don’t want to have to fuck you against the mirror.”

I tense beneath him as memories of the last time Julian made me face a mirror surface.

“Relax,” he chuckles as he eases back. “I was kidding … kind of.”

“How … is this going to work now?” I ask as slowly as I can. “Am I the bottom now, or do you—”

Julian starts laughing. It bubbles out of him and then saturates the room as he laughs in my face like a madman.
