R all heard him approaching and did not bother to cover himself. It was his bedroom if Luke came in then he would see what he saw. The second Luke’s eyes fell upon him it became clear that he wanted more from Rall that just kindness and support.

His need was reflected in his eyes as they traveled Rall's body. Rall had never felt so desired in his life, and he soaked up the pleasure and satisfaction it gave him. He didn't scare Luke or make him uncomfortable. Luke could leave. No one was stopping him, but he didn't. After a brief back and forth, Luke found his strength and approached.

Rall was rewarded for his calm patience with a stimulating strip tease. Luke wasn't acting, and he wasn't going to pretend he didn't want what he wanted. The first thing Rall notices is that all of his wounds have healed, leaving behind beautiful, flawless flesh.

His body was just right firm yet full, not too short and not too tall, masculine and yet vulnerable. Luke was the total package as far as Rall was concerned. Then throw in those lovely hazel eyes and the rounded cheeks, and Rall was all in.

Luke was a very attractive man and Rall would have been trying to get with him even if he weren’t his beloved. But being his beloved made every thought and every feeling intense and sharp this man was his one and only for ever after and Rall was excited to get things started.

Rall eagerly clutched him by the upper arms and pulled him close as soon as he was within reach. Having Luke come to him made it clear that he wanted this, and there was no undo pressure or perceived expectations. He wanted Luke free and willing in every way.

"You're beautiful." Rall let the word fall from his lips while running his hands down Luke's arms to grasp his hands. He could see that Luke's desire was building just as his own was making this hard and throbbing. "Do you want me, sweetheart?"

“I want you Rall.” He did not hold back or hesitate, and Rall heard the anxious tone in his voice.

"I want you too, baby." Luke gently ran his fingertips down Rall's hard length, eliciting a deep guttural moan from Rall. Nothing had ever felt as good as his beloved's touch, and that was a fact. He kept exploring and touching, sending thrills up and down Rall's back. Then he took Rall's pulsating cock into his gentle grip and began to stroke slowly at first and then with more fervor building a rhythm that was intoxicating.

Rall took Luke's face between his palms and drew him close, first a light kiss, and then as the stroking intensified, the kiss went deep and hungry. Several groans escaped Luke's lips, but he never made any move or indications that he wasn't completely enjoying himself. Rall made a few shallow thrusts into Luke's grip, loving the sensations rushing through him and needing to increase the delicious friction.

He pulled his lips away, panting with excitement. "I'm going to take you," Rall stated, and Luke nodded his head rapidly. Luke then started grinding his hardening cock against Rall's muscled thigh and laid his head on Rall's chest.

“Take me, please.” He said breathlessly. “I wanted you the moment I saw you there leaning against the bar. I want you a hundred times more now that I met you and know who you are.” That struck Rall and he stilled for a second taking in the sincerity of his words and the depth of his meaning.

“You know me?” Rall questioned softly and lowered his hand to cup Luke’s round ass kneading the ample flesh.

"You're a decent person. You will always help if you can, and you will never hurt me purposely. That's all I need to know. You make me feel safe and seen." The declaration just kept getting more expressive as he continued his explanation.

"I know you too," Rall interjected. "I was attracted to you the minute I laid eyes on you. Your strength, your courage, your ability to look beyond and see yourself there. Not to be drawn in and crippled by the pain." Rall paused and took Luke's lips once more before continuing. Luke kept stroking Rall's cock, bringing him ever closer to the edge.

"Fate brought us together," Luke repeated Rall's off-handed comment from earlier, but now he seemed to understand it. The awakening was taking hold, and the truth of the world was coming clear to him.

"She surely did," Rall said, quickly picking Luke up and tossing him onto the bed. He bounced once with a soft giggle, and then Rall was on top of him, pressing him into the mattress and grinding his hard cock in Lukes. The moans and whimpers were lovely.

He buried his face against Luke's throat and took a small taste of his beloved, just a single bead of the exquisiteness. It hit softly and then entered his system like a freight train roaring through him and setting fires along the way. It was mind-blowing. More than he'd anticipated, and he'd anticipated a lot. Stars and colors filled his vision, and love filled his heart.

Rall retrieved a tube of lube from the side table and covered his fingers liberally before thrusting them into the crevasse in search of Luke's tight hole. The need to claim and make this man his forever was overwhelming him. His vampire was on the edge of taking control.

Rall slathered Luke's entrance with the slippery substance and then started to press and stretch, going slowly and gently at first, and then built it to a hard thrust and an eager stretch, forcing his fingers inside. The tight embrace, so moist and hot, was making his head absolutely spin with the need to be inside his gorgeous beloved. He began a rapid thrust, pushing as deep as possible, filling him full, and getting him prepared as quickly as possible.

Rall was usually a slow-burn sort of guy who liked to take his time and pleasure his partner as they worked toward their gratification, building a climax that could shatter and wreck. With Luke, he had no control and no thoughts beyond completing the bond and making sure Luke never left him. His throbbing need and reckless craving were swallowing every precaution and every hesitation. He was taking Luke, and he was doing it now.

Luke held him and pressed his cheek against Rall’s shoulder. He was in it and not ready to stop. Rall pulled his hand free and then jerked Luke’s legs apart before suddenly adjusting his hips and thrusting inside the well-prepared, velvety entrance that lay before him. Nothing had ever felt like this. It was a goal and a journey all in one. He knew what it meant and where it would take him, and he was eager.

"Harder, Rall," Luke spoke through gritted teeth, and Rall immediately started pounding his hips, speeding up and hitting hard.

"Whatever you need, I'm here, baby," Rall whispered into his ear.

"Just you, Rall. I think all I need is you." He chuckled lightly, and Rall abruptly rammed inside, stretching and forcing to new levels. Luke caught his breath and then tightened his grip on Rall.

He was reaching his peak, and he could tell the moment his vampire made his appearance based on Luke’s expression. The awareness was touching him, so he was somewhat prepared for what he saw but his eyes still blew wide with wonder. “Wow, look at you.” He said hesitantly and took it all in.

"It's who I am, baby," Rall said and quickly regained the shattering level of excitement that pushed him and his beautiful lover over the edge. His breathing stopped, and his heart was beating in his throat when the climax hit him, and Rall sunk his teeth into Luke's shoulder, drinking deeply of the sweetness that was inherently his beloved.

It was a flavor he would forever recognize and forever cherish. The blood filled him with a sense of power and vitality that shook him to the core. The bond was falling into place, and his life was taking on a meaning and filling purpose that went beyond the ordinary.

Luke came when Rall bit his shoulder the explosion of sensation ripped through him, and he exploded with an intensity that was heart stopping. The bite solidified the experience opening his eyes and showing him a reality that was both shocking and exciting. The visions that erupted filling his thoughts and his mind with a world that was so much bigger than the one he had live in.

"Rall." He said his name with respect and awe, completely amazed at the truth that was set before him. He thought his life was destined to pass without note or significance, not that he was opposed to mediocrity, which can be very comfortable, but he had hopes of excitement.

Now he lay here in the arms of a drop fucking dead gorgeous vampire, and they're bonded. The amazing and mysterious man claimed him full-on and completely without uncertainty, with no qualms or faltering. He knew what he wanted, and he took it. Rall ran his tongue over the slight wound, bringing sensations that were intense and pointed. Luke had a full body shiver, and his skin prickled from head to toe.

"Oh," He moaned soft and low. Rall slid out of him, leaving a sense of loss that was remedied when he took him into his arms and kissed him like it was a matter of life or death. Luke had never felt so wanted and needed and extraordinary. The vampire was his beloved, and although he wasn't completely sure what that entailed, he did know that it was wonderful and forever. That truth came through clearly.

“You’re mine now Luke.” Rall told him and pushed the hair back from Luke’s face. He stared down at him still laying half on top of him and Luke loved every minute of it. The contact left him feeling amazing and complete in so many ways.

Rall explained their connection and the Fated bond that they now shared. He also told him about the awakening that would gradually open his mind to the new reality of the supernatural.

The vampire reality came steadily clearer to him as did Rall’s position with Conall Rose within the Rose Coven. The company was a string of businesses some legit and some not, and Master Conall Rose owned them. Rall was a member of security which entailed many things. It was actually pretty easy to follow but it was hard for Luke to believe that he was being brought into something so secret and that Rall had claimed him.

“You’re my beloved Luke Fate brought us together she brought you to me when you need your beloved the most. That’s how she works making sure that the chosen couple are in a head space to accept and bond.” That made sense but again the fact that Fate had given Luke to a man like Rall did not make sense.

"Why would she give you a beloved like me. I work part-time at a florist on Levering, and I do odd jobs to make up the difference. I have no real direction as of yet, and my decision-making and choices don't indicate a real critical thinker here." He paused and then quickly added while glancing away from Rall's penetrating blue eyes. "I've been told by many, mostly relatives, that if I don't get my shit together soon, I won't amount to anything in life."

"All I ask for is your love and your loyalty. I don't care what you do with your shit, and you don't ever have to get it together if you don't want to. Stay by my side and be mine, and nothing else matters." Rall shifted to the side. "You suit me perfectly, Luke. You're everything I want and everything I need. You're honest and strong, and those are two things that are sadly missing in most people these days."

"The opening of my mind, which came in quite a fantastic rush, showed me so much, including the fact that there is no going back. You claimed me right out of the gate, knowing that it was for life.” Luke understood that he was essentially repeating himself, but he needed to make sure that Rall was clear about what he did and who he did it with.

"Why do you think so little of yourself, Luke?" That statement came at him blunt and sharp, and he didn't have a quick answer. Rall sat up, leaning against the pillows, and pulled Luke into his arms and onto his lap, holding him like he was precious. "Feel it, Luke, feel how my heart, my mind, and my body react to you. Sense the connection that binds us together, and please feel what I feel for you." Luke opened up and was swamped with a rush of sensations and feelings so deep they brought tears to his eyes.

This man was not deluded or misguided he was devoted to this union, and he was very quickly falling in love. The love was the surprise, but it was a welcome surprise. It was honest not just a word to placate Luke could see to his soul and his words, all of them, were the truth.

“We’ve only just begun baby we have a glorious lifetime ahead of us and I am excited. I’d like for you to move in here with me and if possible the florist job might not work out. The Rose Coven has a certain reputation and if an enemy discovered that you were a beloved they could try to cause you harm.” That was a twist he hadn’t expected.

“I need my job.” Luke pressed and looked up at Rall.

“Do you enjoy working with flower arrangements?”

"Not particularly, but I'm pretty good at it."

“Would you be open to working within the Rose structure if I can find you something suitable?” Rall was sitting there with his hard cock pressing into Luke’s ass and asking him questions about desired vocations. Luke couldn’t keep his mind on the conversation.

"I would definitely be open to riding your hard cock. That is something I know for sure." Luke moved to straddle Rall's lap, stretching his cheeks apart and opening his channel to welcome that hot, throbbing cock. Rall chuckled wantonly, taking him by the waist and helping to position him for entry.

Luke wiggled his hips, touching his hole to the tip of Rall's cock several times before settling himself and taking him completely into his body. The sensations were wild, sitting there with his huge cock deep inside him throbbing and twitching, setting Luke's nerves on fire.

He looked into Rall's blue eyes and held them as he slid up the hard pole and then slammed back down, taking him deep and to the root. Rall closed his eyes briefly and gave a few shallow thrusts. "You feel so good, Rall." Luke moaned and placed his hands on Rall's shoulders to steady himself just as he began a punishing rhythm, riding him hard and fast.

Rall kept thrusting, increasing the pressure and speed, and both of them stared at one another breathlessly as they raced each other to the climax. The speed and the friction were incredible, and Luke was sure he could feel that thick cock in every inch of his body. He thought his heart would beat right out of his chest when suddenly Rall gripped him hard and thrust forcefully inside, exploding in a glorious fashion, filling him full.

Stream after stream filled him, covering them both with the sweet scent of love and sex and excitement. Luke sat down, fully engulfing Rall's still-hard cock, and wrapped his arms around him.

"You make me so happy, Rall. The worst day of my life turned into the best day because of you. I'll keep your secret. I understand the dangers of such a thing becoming public knowledge. Thank you for letting me see you and your world." Luke couldn't help himself and placed a loving kiss on Rall's plump lips. "I promise to try to be everything that you think that I am." That comment had Rall laughing and rolling Luke to his back.

"You're all I need just as you are, baby." They held each other for a while, and then Rall arranged the bed for sleeping, pulling Luke close into his arms and covering them both with the thick, silky comforter. Luke was in heaven.

Rall told him more about the coven and other supernatural species such as shifter. Luke wasn’t looking forward to seeing shifters the very idea gave him the creeps, but he vowed to himself that he would keep an open mind. The information that kept forming and flooding his awareness was trippy, but it was like a cloud shifted and suddenly he could see people for who they really were.

Vampires, covens, packs, shifters and many others all through the city and beyond according to Rall. It was a lot but what a thrill and what a gift to be brought in on something so momentous. The world tripled in size in just a few hours and now it was his responsibility to keep the secret.
