Chapter Twenty-Eight

W hen you had to plan to have sex, it made for an awkward situation. Delton was discovering that as he and Adar closed the door of Delton’s cabin behind them and stood in the living room. Quico was on shift at the hospital and wouldn’t be back till late.

Oliver was hanging out with Fallon, completely on board with what was happening. He’d promised to stay away until they told him the coast was clear, which was another layer of weirdness. What was Delton even supposed to text when they were done? We’ve both come, so you’re welcome again . Awkward.

He slowly turned and caught Adar staring at him. The alpha scratched his chin. “This is weird, right? That’s not just me?”

Relief filled Delton. At least he wasn’t the only one who felt it. “It’s so awkward. It feels like a hookup, except it’s not.”

“Exactly.”

“Or maybe like a booty call between friends with benefits.”

Adar grinned, half-turning his body. “I do think my ass is one of my better features, but I’ll let you be the ultimate judge of that.”

Delton laughed too. “Personally, I’m more partial to your biceps.”

“Biceps?” Adar looked at himself as he flexed. “What’s special about them?”

Delton indulged in a good, long stare. The man’s body really was a work of art. All those powerful muscles, not a gram of fat on him, and then that smooth, bronze skin. He swallowed. “I have a thing for arms. They’re sexy.”

“Really?” Adar didn’t seem convinced. “I’m more of an ass man myself.”

Delton did the same half-turn Adar had performed earlier, putting his hand on his hip and pushing out his ass. “Mine’s not too bad.”

“It’s rather spectacular, actually.” Adar gestured vaguely. “Very luscious and round, considering you’re slim otherwise. It’s…inviting.”

Inviting? Hmm, Delton could definitely work with that. “Thank you.”

Another awkward silence.

“Can I offer you something to drink?” Delton asked.

“I’m good, thank you.”

God, they talked like strangers, not like lovers. Which they were, technically. Right? They’d had sex before, albeit under somewhat different circumstances. Though that, too, had been by appointment. Adar stood there, hands jammed into his pockets, looking all kinds of stiff and uncomfortable. None of this was easy to navigate for either of them. Maybe they just didn’t know how to initiate this spontaneously?

On impulse, Delton held out his hand. “Come with me.”

Adar took his hand without hesitation, relief filling his expression as if he were glad Delton was taking the initiative. Delton led them into his bedroom, where he softly closed the door behind him. He let go of Adar’s hand and stepped closer to the alpha, reaching for the hem of his hoodie. “Can I?”

Adar nodded, his gaze locked on Delton’s face. Delton slowly pushed the hoodie up, revealing Adar’s sculpted abs and powerful chest. The alpha’s body was a thing of beauty—broad shoulders tapering down to a tight waist, pecs and abs so defined they looked carved from stone. Even the scar on his abdomen—still somewhat raised and red—didn’t take away from his beauty.

Delton ran his hands over the smooth skin, tracing the contours. He felt Adar shudder beneath his touch. Adar lifted his arms, allowing Delton to pull the hoodie off completely.

“You’re beautiful,” Delton murmured, drinking in the sight before him.

A faint flush colored Adar’s cheeks. “I think that’s my line.”

“We can share it.”

“Your turn,” Adar murmured, his voice low and rough. He gripped the bottom of Delton’s T-shirt and tugged it upward. Delton raised his arms, letting Adar strip the shirt off and toss it aside. Then they were chest to chest, skin against skin, heartbeats thudding in sync.

“I want you,” Adar said, his voice low and rough. “I know this is new for both of us, but I want this connection with you.”

Delton’s heart swelled at the sincerity in Adar’s words. “Me too.” But they had another practical detail to work out, one he had thought long and hard about. “And I’m willing to bottom for you.”

Adar’s eyes widened. “I thought you preferred topping.”

“I do, but that doesn’t mean I’m never open to bottoming. I definitely want to try it with you.” A thought occurred to him. “Part of my resistance may also have been because most of my sexual partners were alphas, which meant I was always expected to take on that role.”

“Well, not with me. You know that. You know I like both…”

He did indeed. “I know, but today, I want to do it the other way around.”

“I’ll take good care of you, I promise.”

Then Adar cupped Delton’s face in his big hands, tilting his head back. Their lips met in a deep, searching kiss. Delton opened eagerly to the alpha, welcoming the thrust of his tongue. The kiss started careful, exploring, but quickly grew heated.

Delton moaned into the kiss, savoring the electric slide of Adar’s tongue against his own. He pressed closer, skin tingling everywhere they touched as his hands roamed over Adar’s muscular back and shoulders. He wanted to map every inch of the alpha’s body, to memorize the feel of him.

Adar’s large hands slid down to grip Delton’s hips, his thumbs pressing into the sensitive hollows. Delton rocked against him, desire pooling hot and urgent in his core.

He almost reached for the man’s belt but then changed his mind. If they wanted this to work, to mean something, none of it could be rushed. It had to be slow, sensual, like a seduction rather than a business transaction, like something they had to cross off their to-do list.

So instead, he pressed fluttering kisses against Adar’s shoulder and his collarbone, then blazed a path to his right nipple. Delton circled the dusky nub with the tip of his tongue, feeling it pebble and tighten. Adar’s sharp intake of breath sent a thrill through him. He wanted to draw out more of those delicious sounds, to make the alpha tremble and gasp with pleasure.

He laved attention on the sensitive peak, licking and sucking until Adar groaned and fisted a hand in his hair. The slight sting only spurred Delton on. He grazed the nipple with his teeth, soothing the gentle bite with his tongue.

“Delton,” Adar rasped, his voice wrecked. “You’re driving me crazy.”

Delton hummed, pleased, and released the nipple with a final lick. He trailed kisses across Adar’s chest to the other side, giving it the same thorough treatment. By the time he pulled back, Adar was panting, his eyes dark with lust.

He kissed his way lower, tongue dipping into Adar’s navel before following the thin trail of dark hair that disappeared beneath the waistband of his cargo pants. Delton paused, glancing up at Adar through his lashes. The alpha’s eyes were nearly black, his lips parted as he panted softly.

“Can I?” Delton murmured, fingers hovering over the top button of Adar’s pants.

“Please.”

Delton took his time unfastening the pants and easing them down his muscular thighs, along with his boxer briefs. Adar’s thick erection sprang free, flushed a deep red and already glistening at the tip.

Delton’s mouth watered at the sight. He wanted to taste him, to feel the silky weight of him on his tongue. He wrapped his fingers around the thick shaft, giving it a slow stroke from base to tip. Adar’s hips jerked as he let out a guttural moan.

Delton repeated the motion, savoring the velvety feel of him, the way he throbbed in his grip. Unable to resist any longer, Delton sank to his knees in front of the alpha and leaned in. Slowly, he licked a broad stripe up the underside of Adar’s cock.

Then he swirled his tongue around the swollen head, gathering the salty-sweet beads of precum. He savored the musky flavor, breathing in Adar’s heady scent. Licking and kissing, he teased the sensitive underside before closing his lips over the head and sucking gently.

“Fuck,” Adar gasped, fingers tightening in Delton’s hair. “Your mouth…so good…”

Delton hummed in response, taking him deeper. He worked his tongue along the shaft as he bobbed his head, taking more of Adar’s length each time until the head bumped the back of his throat. There was no way he could take all of him, but he’d learned a long time ago it wasn’t necessary to bring pleasure.

Hollowing his cheeks, Delton sucked hard, working his tongue along the sensitive underside. Adar cursed under his breath, hips rocking forward in shallow thrusts as if he couldn’t help himself. The alpha was coming undone under Delton’s ministrations, and it was intoxicating, knowing he could reduce such a powerful man to base instincts.

Delton reached down to palm himself through his pants, his own neglected erection throbbing urgently. He moaned around Adar’s cock, the vibrations making the alpha shudder and gasp. Delton’s other hand fondled Adar’s heavy sac, rolling the taut orbs in his palm.

“Delton, wait…” Adar rasped, gently pushing at his shoulders. “I don’t wanna come like this.”

He pulled off slowly, letting Adar’s heavy length slip from his mouth. Looking up, he found Adar gazing down at him with half-lidded eyes, his lips parted and cheeks flushed. Adar’s eyes flashed, a low growl rumbling in his chest. In one smooth motion, he hauled Delton to his feet and claimed his mouth in a searing kiss. Delton moaned into it, melting against Adar’s strong body. Large hands roamed his back before dipping into his pants to knead his ass.

“Off,” Adar commanded roughly, tugging at the waistband.

Delton scrambled to obey, shoving his pants and underwear down. He kicked them off impatiently, and then they were both gloriously naked, chests heaving. Adar walked him backward until the edge of the bed hit the backs of his knees. Delton let himself fall onto the mattress, scooting back as Adar crawled over him, caging him in with his powerful body. Delton spread his thighs in a blatant invitation, pulse quickening in anticipation.

Adar settled between his spread legs, the heat and hardness of him a delicious pressure against Delton’s inner thighs. Their bodies aligned perfectly, as if made for each other. Adar braced himself on his elbows, bracketing Delton’s head, his dark eyes burning into Delton’s.

“You’re perfect,” Adar murmured, reverence in his deep voice. “I want to make this so good for you.”

Emotion swelled in Delton’s chest, stealing his breath. He reached up to cup Adar’s face, thumb stroking over the alpha’s angular cheekbone. “You already are. Being with you like this, it’s everything I’ve wanted.”

Adar turned his head to press a tender kiss to Delton’s palm. “I’ve wanted this too. Craved this closeness with you.”

Their lips met again, slow and deep, a sensual slide of tongues that stoked the fire building between them. Adar’s heavy length, slick at the tip, rubbed maddeningly against Delton’s as they rocked together.

Adar groaned into his mouth, hips rolling to grind their bare cocks together. The delicious slide sent sparks of pleasure skittering through Delton’s veins. He reached down to palm the alpha’s perfect ass, pulling him closer, deeper into the cradle of his thighs.

Delton broke the kiss with a gasp, head falling back against the pillow as Adar’s lips trailed fire down his throat. The alpha’s tongue flicked over his racing pulse before his teeth grazed the sensitive skin, making Delton shudder.

“Adar,” he breathed, fingers tangling in the short hairs at Adar’s nape. “Need you…”

“I’ve got you,” Adar promised, his voice a low rumble that Delton felt in his bones. The alpha reached over to the nightstand, pulling open the drawer to retrieve a bottle of lube.

Delton’s heart raced in anticipation as he watched Adar coat his fingers liberally with the slick substance. Then those fingers were circling his entrance, teasing the furled muscle until Delton was squirming with need.

“Please,” he whimpered, trying to push down onto Adar’s fingers.

Adar captured his lips in a soothing kiss as he slowly pressed one thick digit inside. Delton moaned into Adar’s mouth at the delicious stretch, his body welcoming the intrusion eagerly. It had been so long. Adar worked the finger in and out, letting Delton adjust to the intrusion before adding a second.

He scissored his fingers, carefully stretching Delton open. “You’re tight.”

“It’s been a while.”

Adar’s eyes darkened. “How long?”

“Not since… There’s been no one since I met you.”

“Delton…”

He cupped Adar’s cheek, meeting his eyes. “I waited for you.”

Adar’s expression softened, awe and tenderness shining in his eyes. “I’m honored, Delton. That you would wait for me, for this… It means everything.”

He sealed his words with a kiss, deep and consuming, pouring all his emotion into the slide of their lips. Delton melted into it, into him, surrendering completely to the alpha’s possession.

Adar’s fingers continued their maddening exploration, stretching and stroking until Delton was writhing beneath him, a whimpering mess of need. Electric pleasure sparked through his body with each press and twist, stoking the fire in his core to an inferno.

“Adar, please…” he gasped when they broke for air. “I need you inside me. Now.”

Adar growled, a primal sound of pure male satisfaction. He withdrew his fingers, leaving Delton feeling empty and aching. But then he was slicking up his impressive length and positioning himself at Delton’s entrance.

Their eyes locked, a moment heavy with meaning passing between them. Holding Delton’s gaze, he slowly pushed forward, breaching the tight ring of muscle.

Delton’s back arched off the bed as Adar’s thick cock slowly stretched him open, the burn of the intrusion gradually giving way to intense, aching pleasure. He scrabbled at Adar’s broad shoulders, blunt nails digging into flexing muscle.

“Oh gods,” he choked out, eyes fluttering shut at the exquisite fullness. “Adar…”

“I’ve got you,” Adar murmured, his voice strained with the effort of holding back. He peppered Delton’s face with tender kisses as he pushed forward, sinking deeper into Delton’s welcoming heat.

Delton could only moan in response, lost to the sensation of being so thoroughly claimed. Adar’s cock seemed to reach impossibly deep, stroking places inside him that made stars burst behind his eyelids.

“Breathe, baby,” Adar murmured, his voice strained with the effort of holding back. “Relax for me.”

Delton exhaled shakily, willing his muscles to unclench. He focused on the feeling of Adar surrounding him, filling him, completing him in a way he’d never experienced.

When Adar’s hips finally met the backs of Delton’s thighs, he stilled, both of them panting harshly. Delton had never felt so full, so completely possessed.

They both groaned at the sensation, savoring the perfect fit of their bodies. Adar peppered Delton’s face with soft kisses, giving him time to adjust.

“You feel incredible,” the alpha rasped. “So tight and hot around me.”

Delton clenched experimentally, reveling in the answering groan it pulled from the alpha’s throat.

Adar rolled his hips in a slow, deep grind, burying himself to the hilt. Delton gasped, pleasure sparking through him at the movement. He could feel every rigid inch of Adar’s cock throbbing inside him, stretching him so exquisitely.

“Move,” Delton pleaded, grinding against Adar. “I need you to move.”

Adar obliged, withdrawing until only the head of his cock remained inside before thrusting back in, slowly at first, then building a steady rhythm. Each deep stroke sent waves of pleasure cascading through Delton’s body, stoking the fire in his core.

Delton cried out, fingers scrabbling for purchase on Adar’s sweat-slicked back. “Yes, just like that,” he gasped against Adar’s mouth. “Harder, please…”

Adar growled, low and feral, and complied. He picked up the pace, hips pistoning as he pounded into Delton’s willing body. The room filled with the obscene slap of skin on skin and their mingled moans and gasps.

Delton wrapped his legs around Adar’s waist, heels digging into the alpha’s sculpted ass as he urged him deeper, harder. Their bodies moved together in perfect sync as if they’d been made for this, for each other.

Adar shifted the angle of his thrusts and Delton saw stars, a hoarse cry tearing from his throat as the alpha’s cock dragged over that sweet spot inside him again and again. Pleasure coiled tighter and tighter at the base of his spine, his neglected erection throbbing almost painfully between their sweat-slicked bodies.

“Adar,” Delton keened, voice breaking on a particularly deep thrust. “I’m close, I’m so close…”

“Me too,” Adar panted against his neck. He reached between their straining bodies to wrap a calloused hand around Delton’s weeping cock. “Come for me, baby. Want to feel you come apart around me.”

Adar’s fist moved over his cock in time with his thrusts, twisting on the upstroke in a way that made Delton’s toes curl. The dual stimulation was too much, the coil of tension in his core winding tighter and tighter until it finally snapped.

Delton came with a hoarse cry of Adar’s name, spilling hot and messy over the alpha’s fist and his own stomach. His vision whited out as wave after wave of intense pleasure crashed through him, his inner muscles clenching rhythmically around Adar’s pistoning cock.

“Fuck, Delton,” Adar growled.

He buried his face in the crook of Delton’s neck, hips driving forward once, twice more before he stiffened, a guttural moan vibrating against Delton’s throat as he found his own release.

Delton felt Adar’s cock pulsing deep inside him as the alpha spilled his release, filling him with liquid heat. They clung to each other, shaking and gasping, as the aftershocks of their shared pleasure rippled through them.

Finally, Adar’s hips stilled and he slumped against Delton, his face still buried in the beta’s neck. Delton stroked his hands soothingly over the alpha’s trembling back, savoring the solid weight of him, the intimacy of the moment.

They stayed like that for a long moment, hearts pounding in sync as they caught their breath. Delton had never felt so content, so utterly satisfied and cherished. Being joined with Adar like this, in body and soul, felt right in a bone-deep way he couldn’t fully articulate.

Eventually, Adar lifted his head from the crook of Delton’s neck. His dark eyes were hazy with satisfaction, but a soft tenderness in their depths made Delton’s breath catch. The alpha brushed a sweaty lock of hair from Delton’s forehead, his touch gentle.

“That was…” Adar trailed off, seemingly at a loss for words.

“Amazing,” Delton finished for him, voice hoarse. “Utterly perfect.”

Adar’s smile was blinding, crinkling the corners of his eyes. “Yeah. All of that and more.”

He leaned down to capture Delton’s lips in a slow, deep kiss, one that spoke of contentment and connection rather than the earlier urgency. Delton sighed into it, savoring the intimacy of the moment, of being with his mate, his man. His alpha.

His heart opened like a flower unfolding in the sunlight, and just like that, a part of it was no longer Delton’s. Adar had it, and all Delton could do was hope the alpha would treasure it.
