Page 10 of The Healer and The Vampire (Bay Harbor Wolves #11)

R emi ushered his beloved into his quarters. It was clean and neat as he'd left it when heading off to spend a few days with the wolves, although it was sadly generic. He didn't fuss over interiors, but it was functional and put together.

"It's basic, I know, but you are free to change and decorate as you see fit." He never thought he'd be standing there apologizing for his plainness, but here he was assuring his sweet love that any changes were his choice.

"I like it." Conrad gushed and looked around with appreciation and excitement. "This is fantastic." He said as he looked out the large floor-to-ceiling windows. "You must love living here."

"I do, and you will too." Remi walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist. Without another word, he dropped a kiss on his neck and then his bare shoulder where his t-shirt had pulled back.

The taste was extraordinary and held him as Conrad leaned back into his arms, baring more of his shoulder for Remi's attention.

The soft moan that followed inspired Remi to go further.

Conrad's hand snaked up to the back of Remi's neck, pulling him down for more consideration. "You like that, sweetheart?" Remi said.

"Yes, very much," Conrad said, panting softly.

He continued tasting the smooth, tantalizing flesh, desperate for a deeper taste.

The need started to override everything else in his mind, and he bit down just a nip, letting the sweet, provocative nectar torment him and cause his ache to grow as the temptation for more exploded.

He quickly licked the wound closed and scooped Conrad up into his arms, carrying him to the living room and laying him down on the large, plush rug that stretched across the room.

Remi whispered tender words of wanton desires as he stripped him of his shoes and socks and then pulled the t-shirt, baring his gorgeous flesh to Remi’s consideration.

“You are a lovely little man, Conrad. Lovely and delicious." That elicited a giggle, which was also lovely. This man, his man, was proving to be a temptation that exceeded all resistance. Remi pushed the blonde hair back from his eyes and let it slide seductively through his fingers.

Conrad watched him with an intensity that burned.

His lips were parted as he panted softly, tension, lustful tension filled the air between them.

Remi stretched out beside him on the rug, running his fingertips down the center of Conrad's chest to the snap on his jeans and then back to dip of his collar bone.

The trembling and the whines were delicious. Conrad was holding nothing back.

Conrad started to open his jeans, unable to wait, and the strain showed on his face.

Remi stopped him, covering his hand with his and then taking his lips in a kiss so ravenous that it seared and burned to the soul.

Conrad clutched at him frantically seeking a satisfaction that was just beyond his reach.

Remi continued the kiss that ravaged, eating away at his tender lips and sweeping deep inside to taste and devour.

He worked Conrad's jeans open and slipped his hand inside to cup that engorged cock that pulsed so beautifully in his palm.

The sensations rushing through him were causing lightheadedness, forcing him to break the kiss and breathe deeply.

Conrad held him and thrust repeatedly into his hand the need so bare and raw that Remi could not hold back.

The heat was at a level that made resistance impossible.

He stripped Conrad of his jeans and tore off his own clothes in a blind rush to feel his body and his heat.

Remi moved to cover Conrad, and he wrapped his legs around Remi's waist, pulling close and rubbing his throbbing cock against Remi's.

The sensations were explosive, raging through Remi and pushing him to complete the bond.

“Let me prepare you, my love." He whispered and pushed his way down Conrad's exquisite body, planting moist, open-mouth kisses along the way.

Conrad spread his legs in anticipation of what was to come, and Remi seated himself between, rubbing his cheek seductively against his hard cock.

A wave of lust burst through him, and he took Conrad's cock down his throat, swallowing him to the root, causing a reaction that had Conrad arching off the floor and crying out for more.

He worked him fast and hard, intensifying the experience by thrusting three freshly lubed fingers into Conrad's tight little hole, forcing the muscle to relax and allow him inside. The tight, moist heat gripped him while he made Conrad squeal with pleasure and delight.

"Don't tease me, Remi, harder, harder, more, faster." The commands came in a rush, and Remi gave him what he ordered, reducing him to a flushed, quivering, chaotic mess, panting and writhing with need. "Let me come, Remi, let me come." The whine was music to Remi's ears.

He took him to the root, working hard with suction and pressure, pushing to release.

Remi plunged his fingers deep, playing hard against the nerves and gland, and with a sharp, satisfied scream, Conrad came, filling Remi's mouth with stream after stream of his sweet essence.

Remi took it all and abruptly popped off and flipped Conrad onto his stomach.

It was smooth and swift and forced another sweet giggle from his beloved.

Remi kissed him behind the ear and promised him a night to remember before spreading Conrad's legs with his knee and lifting his delicious, round ass, propping him up with his thighs.

"That is the prettiest ass I have ever seen.

" He teased and once again plunged three fingers inside, stretching and pounding the tight velvety hole.

Conrad lay his cheek against the thick rug and begged for more.

"Always, sweetheart, I'll always give you everything you need.

" He whispered again his words deep and sensual, raising a shiver that skimmed along Conrad's flesh.

Satisfied that his beloved was ready, Remi pressed his knees deeper, raising Conrad's ass to jut upward in an erotic fashion that heated Remi to his core.

Remi removed his fingers and immediately thrust his hard, throbbing cock into Conrad's well-worked hole, going to the root in one thrust.

Conrad froze, holding his breath and then let it out on a long, sensuous moan.

Remi held the position for a few seconds before pulling out and repeating the action, sending Conrad into a frenzy of loud moans and desperate thrusts.

He tried to force control, pushing back against Remi, but Remi held him fast and brought him into rhythm, and together they pounded their way to exquisite pleasure and satisfaction.

Remi felt his own body vibrate with the need to come and to claim.

His vampire instincts were coming to the surface, and he could feel his face changing, the angles hardening, and his vision becoming intense and focused.

His balls tightened and tingled in the base of his spine, and he knew he was on the edge.

He increased his speed mercilessly, hammering into Conrad's hot body, and then he crashed, hitting the moment, and his body tensed and then trembled as everything let go, and he came so hard he saw spots on the periphery of his vision, and his heart nearly stopped.

The bond was forming and their connection gaining strength, and it was then that Remi struck.

His teeth sank into Conrad's soft flesh at the base of his throat.

It wasn't a taste this time, no, this time he was making his claim and marking his beloved for all to see.

This young man with all his foibles and fears and confusion belonged to him, and Remi was happier than he could ever remember being.

Conrad was his match, the perfect match to offset his own stoic, focused, one-track mind. Now he had an exciting, adventurous, and impulsive partner. Life would be entertaining at the very least.

Remi pulled his teeth free and licked the wound closed before slowly pulling out and settling down next to Conrad on the large, thick rug.

They were both panting and reaching for one another.

He pulled Conrad to him and wrapped him in his arms. "I love you, sweetheart.

You are all mine now." Remi stated needing to stake his claim once again.

"I was always yours, Remi. I was just waiting for you to find me." Remi melted on the spot, took Conrad's lips once again in another burning kiss, and then finished by stroking Conrad's new claiming scar with the tips of his fingers. Conrad shook and sighed so sweetly.

“That was amazing.” He gushed. “Will it always feel like that?”

“Yes, but only when you or I touch it.” He followed that with another stroke.

“Fantastic.” Conrad cuddled close.

“We should probably try to make our way to the bedroom.” Remi’s urgency had made the bedroom unimportant at the time. He needed his beloved; he needed to mark and claim, and nothing was going to get in his way.

"This rug is softer than most of the beds I've slept in, so I'm fine," Conrad said and positioned his head on Remi's shoulder. Remi reached behind them and pulled the throw blanket off the couch, and covered them both.

"I'll introduce you to the Master in the morning and get you settled.

" Remi was eager to get them both settled and started on their new life together.

He hadn't thought of himself as a romantic or someone who had the ability to tie themselves to another so completely.

But here he was gushing, romantic as hell, and begging to be one with Conrad for all time.

Life has a way of letting you know that you know very little, and least of all yourself.

He smiled and tucked the blanket around his beloved and kissed the top of his head.

They had a lot to discuss, explain, and work out with two lives that were so different. They had been heading in opposite directions, but then Fate stepped in and showed them that a perfect love could be theirs.
