Chapter 12

Beau

I felt like the biggest idiot. I was happy that Roman couldn’t yet hear my thoughts. I didn’t want him to know just how much I wanted to kick myself. Instead of being carried to the bathroom with a cold, wet mess in my underwear, I could have been having sex for the first time ever. But nope, I had to go and get embarrassed because I came from Roman sucking on my nipple. Who did that? Apparently, I did, and it was so embarrassing.

Roman had been amazing and so understanding though, which I was incredibly thankful for. Now we were going to take a bath together, and that thought actually was much more appealing than I would have ever thought. The fact that the super-sexy alpha that had been chosen to be mine wanted to get naked with me…there were no negatives to that as far as I could see.

“I believe that one of the perks of having the created warlock in charge of housing for many of the paranormals in the area is massive tubs and showers,” Roman said as he set me down on my feet just in front of the tub. “We will have to wait a bit for the tub to fill though.”

I gestured to the tub, smiling when Roman’s eyebrows rose.

“Or, you could do your thing and we instantly have a tub full of steaming water.”

I smiled at Roman before I shrugged. “It’s a perk.”

Roman grinned back at me before he knelt beside me. He reached for the waistband of my pants before I could protest. In one quick swoop, he had my pants and briefs down and pooling around my ankles and feet.

“Step out.”

I could do nothing but what he asked. I was left with my socks on my feet, and I had to remember that I’d kicked off my shoes earlier before I removed my shirt.

“Lift,” he said as I felt his fingers in the top of my sock. Roman repeated the action for my other sock when I raised my foot off the floor, leaving me standing there naked in front of him. The urge to cover myself was strong, but Roman moaned before he moved in, and I felt his tongue on my cock. It quickly sprang back to full life.

“Roman,” I said quietly. I was trying not to moan or thrust my hips, but both were difficult to avoid. Roman continued to suck on my length, and all too soon, I felt my balls tingling. “Roman,” I said again, this time with a bit more force. I felt as if I needed to warn him that I was about to come again, which was wonderful but still embarrassing. When Roman added more pressure instead of pulling off, I pushed on his forehead in hopes of getting him to stop. He looked up at me, his mouth still sucking on my cock, and I tried to warn him, but it was too much in that moment, and I felt my body overload with pleasure once again.

Roman moaned as I filled his mouth with my release. Somehow, his suction increased, and my body became a bundle of unset frosting, and I felt myself slipping to the floor. Only, I didn’t go anywhere, and I realized that was because Roman’s hands were holding tightly to my backside. It felt amazing, but it was just too much, and I pushed harder against his head when everything became too sensitive.

“Roman, please. It’s too much.”

Roman finally pulled off, and after he gave the head of my dick one last kiss, he looked up at me with a huge smile on his face. “I only wanted to give you pleasure, not cause you to be uncomfortable.”

I nodded at him. “I very much enjoyed. But it was too sensitive at the end.”

Roman nodded back before he stood, his hands sliding from my bum to my waist. “I apologize. I was enjoying your pleasure.”

I had to look up quite a bit at Roman with him standing, and it was not lost on me in that moment just how many size differences there were between us when I felt something rub against my lower stomach. Roman was still fully dressed, but when I glanced down and saw the bulge in his pants, I winced at how uncomfortable it had to be in his jeans.

“Doesn’t that hurt?” I asked as I reached out and gently rubbed my fingers over the bulge. Roman dropped his head back and moaned.

“Not exactly, but that felt amazing. Do it again.” Roman placed his hand over mine and applied pressure. He moved our hands up and down several times before he dropped his hand and looked at me. “Gah, what I want to explore with you.”

“You’ll have to teach me how to pleasure you. I’ve not done anything before with anyone. We usually don’t.”

Roman grinned. “It’s going to be a complete pleasure. Right now though, I want you to get into the tub while I finish undressing. I’ll join you, and after we relax a bit, we’ll see where things go.”

I nodded. There was nothing else I could think of doing, other than listening to my mate. He wanted me in the tub, I was going to get into the bath. I carefully stepped into the tub and sat down, sighing as the hot water surrounded my body. It wasn’t that I’d had an overly strenuous day, but it had been long. I’d already been up for close to twelve hours and most of it standing on my feet. The hot water was soothing, and I sighed again.

That didn’t mean I wasn’t covertly sneaking glances at my mate while he undressed the rest of the way. I couldn’t help but gasp when he pushed his jeans down his narrow hips and his cock sprang out. It bounced a few times now that it was free from the tight confines of his jeans, and I started to wonder if things were going to “work” anatomically. When I met Roman’s gaze, he smirked while shaking his head.

“It’s written all over your face. Yes, it will fit. No, it shouldn’t be too painful. Maybe a slight burn, but your body was made to receive an alpha. You have slick. It’s going to work just as it should.”

My mouth dropped open. Was I truly that easy to read? “How did…”

Roman smiled. “Like I said, it’s written on your face. Scoot forward a bit.”

It took my brain a moment to catch up and translate what he’d said last. I finally moved to the middle of the tub and realized just how massive it was. My feet were touching the other end of the tub, but my knees weren’t bent so much that my legs were above the water level. Of course, the tub was deep as well as long, but it was obvious that it was designed with large alphas in mind.

The water level rose as Roman stepped in behind me and then even more as he sat down. I bit my lower lip as his legs slid to either side of me. When his hands moved down my sides to where my hips were and tugged, I bit my lower lip as I was pulled back against his very hard chest—and other parts.

“Sorry if that’s uncomfortable,” he whispered next to my temple. “It’ll eventually go down.”

I somehow doubted that. I’d come twice now, and mine was still hard. Was that a mate thing? Would I always be walking around with a hard dick now? “It’s okay. Umm…did you want me to take care of it for you?”

Roman chuckled behind me. “I’m sure you will many times tonight, but right now, I’m wanting to focus on you and not only relaxing you but bringing you pleasure.”

I craned my neck so I could turn to meet Roman’s eyes. “You’ve already done that. Twice. Shouldn’t it be your turn now?”

“It brings me immense joy to see to your pleasure.”

“But what about me?” I asked. “Can’t I have a chance to learn how to do the same for you? What if I discover I am the same? I haven’t had the opportunity yet though, and I would very much like to do the same for you.”

Roman’s arms tightened around mine as he pulled me back to him. “Soon. Can we wait on that until after we’ve claimed one another? It isn’t that I don’t wish for you to do all those things to me. I absolutely do. But I’ll be honest here and say that I really want to wait until I’m inside you to come because my tiger is pushing me immensely to claim you, and I’m not sure he wouldn’t win if you were to either stroke me or suck me.”

Oh. I hadn’t thought about that. But why would I? I knew the basics of how sex worked, but that was the extent of it. I had no real experience with anything we’d already done. It had been amazing, and if this was all we ever had or did, I would forever be a happy fae.

“I understand,” I said quietly. I moved toward the side so I could look up at Roman again. “But I will get to do it someday?”

Roman smiled down at me before he kissed my nose. “Someday very soon.”

That worked for me. If Roman said I’d be able to return the pleasure for him, then I believed him. Roman started rubbing his hands up and down my torso, the effect on me almost immediate. I closed my eyes and sighed, but the sigh quickly turned to a moan when Roman’s hands slid beneath the water and wrapped around my cock.

“Roman,” I moaned out.

“Yes?”

I really needed to work on my stamina because three gentle strokes up and down my length had my balls tingling again. I reached out and placed my hand on his wrist, squeezing it in hopes of getting him to stop.

“Can we wait?” I managed to get out.

The hand instantly stilled but didn’t let go. “What do you mean?”

“I know you want to make me relaxed and all, and I already am. But I’m afraid if you keep causing me to come, I’ll be too exhausted to do any actual claiming when we finally get around to it.”

Roman chuckled. “Very well. I’ll just wash you and then take you to bed. How does that sound?”

Perfect. That was exactly what I wanted. I nodded. “Yes. That. Can we do that?” I asked. “I’m sorry if I’m not wanting all that you envisioned. I just…well, I’ve already come twice, and it’s been a long day, and I’m afraid that if I come too many more times, I’m going to be too tired to actually claim you.”

Roman chuckled again before he kissed the side of my head. “My intent was not to exhaust you. But I didn’t take into consideration that your day started early.”

I moved forward a bit so I could turn some and look at Roman. “I’m sure yours did as well. I didn’t sleep well last night, and I’m not saying you didn’t, but I wouldn’t be surprised if your night was different than mine.” I took a deep breath. “I’m not trying to rush you, and I hope you don’t feel as if I am pushing too hard. I just want you to claim me. I’m a bit nervous because I’ve never had sex, and I’m afraid I’m going to be terrible at it.”

Roman reached out and touched my lips, stopping the words flowing from my mouth. “My night was spent sleeping on the back patio area of Lukan’s house once I met him, and he told me that you were staying with him. Although, I wouldn’t really call it sleeping. I, too, had a difficult night. And I am completely on board with claiming each other immediately. I only wanted to be the gentleman you deserve. Trust me, there is very much a side of me that wants to already be buried deep inside of you.”

“Then why aren’t we doing that? I don’t really know much about seduction. Konrad tried to give me some pointers earlier, but we didn’t really have a lot of downtime.”

Roman’s smile grew. “That right there is more than enough for me,” he told me. “You will find that you don’t have to do anything. You are my mate. I will always desire you, and if you want to be intimate with me, all you have to do is say so. No need for seduction or any type of grand gesture. Just let me know, and I’ll be there to provide whatever it is you need or desire.”

I wasn’t sure it was really that simple or that it was fair to Roman. He deserved a mate who could put in some effort. I would certainly do whatever I could to learn how to seduce my mate. He deserved a partner that was more than just a lump when it came to things such as sexual pleasure.

“Good,” I said in response to Roman’s declaration. I stood, more than ready to get things moving along. “Then we shall go to the bedroom and claim each other.” I started to step out of the tub, but Roman wrapped a hand around my thigh, and I quickly realized just how large his hands were in comparison to my thighs.

“Who says we need to go to the bedroom?” Roman asked. He reached up and tugged on my hand, and I carefully sat back down, this time straddling his legs.

“Oh.”

Roman grinned. “Oh yes.” He leaned in and kissed my neck. “Unless you wish to be claimed on the bed. But there are so many other places to have sex, and since we’re already here…”

Roman nipped at my neck, and I couldn’t hold the moan in. His teeth definitely felt sharper than they had before, and when he placed his teeth against my neck and held them there, they definitely were sharper than before. I smiled as Roman moaned against my neck. His teeth were gone in seconds though, but I understood: it wasn’t time for biting just yet.

His lips moved up my neck to my chin and then pressed against mine. Immediately, I leaned closer, hoping to be an equal participant in this. Mine pressed to his, moving with them, and then his tongue reached out to touch mine. I felt a tingle go through my body that originated from where his tongue was touching mine.

Roman pulled my body closer to his, and the size difference between us was drastically obvious, but in that moment, I couldn’t really care all that much. My body was slippery, and it glided against his with ease. Roman’s hands slid from my hips to my backside and then a bit further, all while his tongue continued to play with mine. I was so lost in the sensations that I didn’t even realize that he’d managed to slide a finger into me until he touched some magical spot inside and my body exploded. I moaned into his mouth as my balls pulled tight, and then my cock started spurting between us.

Roman groaned before he quickly pulled his mouth from mine. His finger continued to gently rub over that spot inside me though, and although his finger felt amazing, my body needed more.

“Roman,” I pleaded with him.

“Just a bit more,” he said. I didn’t know what he meant at the moment, but seconds later, I understood. I suddenly felt fuller, and although it didn’t hurt, it was definitely noticeable. “You’re so slick, Beau,” Roman said as he met my gaze. “But you need to be stretched a bit before we can go further.”

I could only nod. He was the experienced one here, and although I wasn’t, what Roman was saying made sense. I felt his fingers moving in and out of me for a bit before they were slowly pulled from my body. I felt myself being lifted, and when I was nose-to-nose with Roman, he leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to my lips.

“I need you to relax for me,” he said after the kiss.

“I don’t think I can get more relaxed after three orgasms, Roman.”

He kissed me again, once more keeping it just a quick touching of our lips. “You say that now, but this will be different,” he whispered against my lips. I was going to ask what he meant when I felt sudden pressure against my hole. Oh.

Roman’s lips pressed against mine again, this time his tongue reaching out and swiping against the seam of my lips. It caused tingles to chase through my body, and it didn’t take long for me to realize why Roman did it. I gasped when I felt him slowly slide into me, and when the thicker part of his cockhead rubbed over that spot inside, I gasped and pulled my mouth away from his.

“Relax,” he whispered. “It will feel amazing in just a bit.”

I shook my head. “It doesn’t feel bad now.” That was true. It burned a little. I was stretched full, but Roman was being incredibly gentle with me.

Roman kissed my shoulder but didn’t stop there. He started moving soft kisses across my shoulder, then up my neck, and I moaned as I moved my neck to the side to give him more room. There was a quiet growl, his fingers tightened on my ass, and then those sharp teeth were back at the area where my neck met my shoulder. It was sexy, and I never wanted it to end. The teeth disappeared, and when Roman kissed my cheek, I tried to turn into the kiss. Instead, I squeaked when he moved my body closer to his. It turned to a gargled moan when he let me go, and I fell back onto his cock.

“Oh,” I groaned out.

Roman repeated the movements, and in just minutes, my cock, which had softened considerably after my third orgasm, hardened again. I didn’t know how it was possible, but I didn’t care. I caught on to the repetitive movements Roman was using, and I braced my hands on his shoulders and started rocking my hips. When I did, it was Roman who let out a loud groan, and I smiled. I’d done something that he liked. That made me feel empowered, and I did it again and again, adding in a bit of a roll. Roman growled, this time louder, his eyes dark and his canines poking out of his mouth.

I gasped at the sight, and I wasn’t sure what came over me, but I leaned in and licked across his lips, making sure I flicked my tongue against one of his canines. Roman’s growl increased, and then his hands grabbed my ass, and I was suddenly held in place. I was about to protest until his hips snapped up into me. I moaned again, and when he did it a second time, I let my head drop back and simply held on to his shoulders as he snapped his hips, thrusting his cock up into me over and over.

Roman’s tiger was definitely tired of waiting, and just when I didn’t think I could handle much more, I felt his cock get bigger. Was that possible? How? Roman made a noise that I couldn’t quite describe, and then I felt an obvious bump when he thrust up into me again. Roman pulled out, then did it again, and this time, he grunted, then growled as he pushed into me and held. Roman’s hands somehow tightened on me even more, and then I felt a flood of heat inside me.

One of Roman’s hands left my ass, grabbed the back of my hair, and pulled my head upward and to the side. Before I could even register what had already happened, Roman’s teeth sunk into my shoulder where it met my neck, and the instant flash of pain was gone before I could even register it. I moaned as my own cock somehow started spurting between us. It was amazing and overstimulating all at the same time.

I suddenly felt Roman’s tongue licking on my neck, and I sighed as my body finally gave out. It was simply too much for me. It had been incredible, but my body lost all energy, and I slumped against my mate.

My head was moved again, this time tucked against Roman’s neck. “Bite me,” Roman said. I sighed in response and kissed his neck. “Please, Beau. Please claim me back.”

I suddenly realized that my own claiming teeth had at some point come out, and I opened my mouth, and right where Roman had bitten me, I did the same on his own shoulder. My mouth flooded with his blood, and that was all I needed. I opened my mouth, pulling my teeth from his shoulder. I tried to lick up the mess, but I couldn’t. My body gave out, and I simply gave in to the overwhelming need for sleep.
