Silver gave my hips a squeeze, and I met his eyes.

“Apology accepted. We’re new. Not even mated yet, and not even had the chance to wake up together once.

It’ll take time. You’ll learn about me, and I’ll learn about you.

But we’ll do it together.” Silver reached for something, and when he held up the tube, I grinned at the hopeful look on his face.

“Now. We can put all of that behind us and have some fun and see where things go. Or we can get dressed and go have cake and talk some more.”

I knew what we probably should do. Honestly, we should eat cake and talk. That was the rational thing to do. But the thought of getting sexual with my mate overrode any idea of being practical.

I grabbed the tube of lube and held it up. “I vote for fun. Not that cake can’t be fun. Because it most certainly can. But I’m more inclined to jump in completely when it comes to things with you.” This seriously wasn’t anything like me. But if Silver was still willing, I wasn’t going to say no.

“Well then, we’ll just get started with a little bit of help,” he said, taking the tube from me. He squirted a generous amount into his hand, and when I looked down at where that hand went, my entire body heated at the sight. He was gorgeous everywhere.

When his hand wrapped around my cock, it quickly came fully back to attention, and I moaned as his hand slowly moved up and down it a few times.

“There we go. Now, start rocking your hips.”

I did, more than ready to find some sort of release. Between the view of Silver below me on his back and the feeling of his hand wrapped around our cocks together, all too quickly, I found myself on the edge and stopped.

“Keep going,” he said, his voice rough with desire.

“I don’t want to. I need a moment because I’m about to come.”

Silver looked up at me and grinned. “Do you really think you’re going to get only one orgasm tonight?”

“I hope there’s more, but I’d be happy with one. But I’d really like you to be inside me when I do.”

Silver’s cock twitched next to mine, and I looked down at it. It was incredibly tempting.

“We’ll have to get you stretched first,” Silver said.

It took me a moment for my brain to catch up to what he’d just said, but when it finally did, I nodded in agreement.

Silver tugged on my hips, and as his hand slid around and grabbed my cheek, I bit my lower lip in anticipation. “Rock your hips forward.”

I did, and suddenly his fingers slid into my crack and I closed my eyes in anticipation.

When my hips rolled backward again, I felt Silver’s fingers there.

I froze for a moment before I continued pushing backward.

His finger pressed against my opening, but then Silver’s other hand on my hip pulled me back toward him.

I glanced down and met his intense gaze.

“Keep going.”

I nodded once more and did as he’d said. I rolled my hips back and forth, thankful that with how I was now above him, there was very little stimulation on my own cock. Silver’s finger finally pushed in, and I stumbled a bit.

“All right? Need to stop?”

“No, I’m good,” I whispered and moved my hips back more.

I realized that we were at the end of Silver’s reach though, so I crawled up toward him a little, and he didn’t disappoint.

His finger slid in, and I closed my eyes.

It was one finger but already felt amazing.

My entire body was in overdrive, and I knew it was because I was with my mate.

Everything between the two of us would be so much more than anything either of us had ever experienced before.

I stopped moving my hips and held still as Silver continued to move his finger in and out of my body. One became two, and I took a few deep breaths at the increased amount of stretching. When my body felt relaxed, I rolled my hips a little to let Silver know I was ready for more.

When he had worked up to four fingers moving in and out of my hole easily, my body was already tingling and filled with immense need.

“Look at this gorgeous cock. It’s so needy it’s purple and dripping on my stomach.”

I wanted to glare at Silver but couldn’t. He wasn’t wrong. My entire body was needy. “Please,” I managed to whisper.

“Move back a little,” he said as he pulled his fingers from my body. When I did, the head of Silver’s cock pressed where his fingers had just been. I took a deep breath and moved back more, and when the head of his cock popped through, I sighed in relief. Silver’s hips pushed upward.

He filled me with ease, and it felt as if he was made to be there. Then again, he was my mate. My perfect match. When I sensed my ass touching Silver’s hips, I sighed in relief and sat there a moment to allow time for my body to fully adjust to his filling me.

When I opened my eyes and looked down at my mate, he had a huge grin on his face. “Whenever you’re ready,” he told me. I shook my head seconds before my cock twitched and bounced against his stomach.

“I’m afraid that if I move, I’ll come, and it’ll be over too soon.”

“There’s always next round, Charlie. And we have all night because now that I have you here, I have no intentions of letting you leave before morning.”

“But come morning, you’re kicking me out, then?” I knew he would do no such thing, but I had to tease him a little.

“Not the plan, but we’ll discuss specifics on where we are going to be come morning. Right now, I need you to either rock your hips, or I’m going to take matters into my own hands and take care of both of us.”

I wanted that, and it must have shown on my face because I was suddenly pulled down on top of him, and then we rolled.

Throughout it all, Silver’s cock didn’t slip from me even a little.

He raised his eyebrows at me once, and then he pulled his hips back and then pushed them forward.

I closed my eyes and moaned at the sensation.

“Oh yes,” I said on the next thrust. I pushed my head back into the bed below us and grabbed onto Silver’s shoulders as his thrust sped up.

Between my already on-edge state, Silver’s thick cockhead continually rubbing over my prostate, and the stimulation on my own cock between our stomachs, it didn’t take long for my body to feel the telltale sign of impending orgasm.

When my balls tingled more intensely than they ever had before, I didn’t even try to hold back.

I simply moved my hands to the bed and grabbed fistfuls of the bedding below me, holding on as the most intense and fulfilling orgasm I’d ever had rolled through my body.

Wave after wave of pleasure filled me as I came between our stomachs. I heard a noise come from Silver and wondered if it was him or his gorilla that made it because I wasn’t quite sure. Maybe it was all my imagination, though, because of all of the emotions going through me.

Silver’s hips sped up just before he grunted, and then I felt him suddenly get stuck. He pushed up onto his elbows a little and stared down at me, seemingly just as surprised as I was. If there had been even a hint of doubt left, it was now gone. He’d knotted me.

I nodded and tilted my head to the side to give him plenty of room, and that was all it took for Silver to lean down and sink his teeth into my neck. There was a flash of pain, but it was gone in an instant when another orgasm, this one even more overwhelming than the other one, raged through me.

I shouted into the room, and when Silver’s neck suddenly moved in front of my mouth, I instinctively bit. The taste of iron in my mouth was new, and I quickly pulled my teeth from his neck and licked over the bite. A feeling of complete relaxation overcame me, and I suddenly felt drowsy and sighed.

“My thoughts exactly,” Silver mumbled. He slid his arms under my back, and we were rolling once again. I found myself on top of my mate—my mate! I had been claimed by my fated mate!

The chest below me suddenly started moving as Silver chuckled, but it stopped just as quickly as it had started. “Yes, we’ve claimed each other. That was the intent, was it not?”

I sighed again and snuggled into his chest. “Yeah,” I mumbled before yawning.

I felt Silver’s lips on the top of my head, one arm wrapped protectively around my back, the other threading through my hair. I yawned again.

“Take a nap. We’ll worry about the next round in a bit.”

I couldn’t do anything except nod in agreement.

I felt our bond slip fully into place, and I saw a giant silverback gorilla running through tall grass with a gray koala hanging on to his neck as I dozed off.

It was such a beautiful thing to see, and I hoped we would be able to make it reality soon.

But for now, it was time to nap. We had a lifetime ahead of us to get to know everything about each other.
