EZRA PANTED SOFTLY as he lay on the bank of the small lake, letting the setting sun dry his relaxed, sated body. He never would have thought that Link could be so friendly and playful in his musk ox form. Every time Ezra interacted with Link as his animal, his lover proved that he was sentient and himself in both forms.

He also couldn’t believe the amount of sex he’d had in the last few days. He’d gotten off more times than he had in the entire prior year. Looking over at where a naked and wet Link sprawled, he realized it wouldn’t be long before he would want to touch the man all over once more.

His fingers actually twitched with his renewed desire.

And if I accept everything Link’s told me, I can have this every day for the rest of my life.

Hell, yeah.

Deciding it was high time for Ezra to grab onto what Link was offering with both hands, he rolled toward the other man. He half sprawled over him, and the larger male immediately wrapped both arms around him and held him close. Link smiled up at him, looking so very pleased to have Ezra in his embrace. His deep brown eyes even appeared to gleam with his happiness.

Damn. Could that be love in his eyes?

Ezra’s gut warmed and clenched at the thought, not that he would ever ask. He wasn’t ready to admit to that kind of emotion, yet.

Instead, Ezra dipped his head and placed a soft kiss to Link’s bearded lips. He’d never kissed a man with a beard before Link, but now he couldn’t seem to get enough of it. Ezra made a mental note to tell Link how much he enjoyed his soft, thick facial hair.

Definitely don’t want him to think he needs to shave it off.

After another peck to Link’s mouth, Ezra smiled down at him. He teased his fingertip around Link’s beaded nipple, feeling it peak further beneath his touch. Just that fast, Link’s expression went from relaxed and happy to smoldering and hungry.

Ezra would never get enough of that look, either.

“What do you say we move this to a place that’s a little more secluded?”

Ezra asked huskily. He lowered his hand from Link’s chest and brazenly gripped his lover’s thick, swollen length. “Then we can set about getting this beautiful piece of meat in my ass.”

Link growled roughly as his nostrils flared, and a shudder rolled through his big body. Spreading his legs, he offered Ezra more room to fondle him, so he did just that. Sliding his hand lower, Ezra cradled Link’s balls, rolling the large orbs in what he’d learned was a sensitive sack.

With a groan, Link whispered Ezra’s name, his appreciation obvious. “Yesss,”

he hissed. “Want that so fucking badly.”

“Fucking,”

Ezra countered with a cheeky grin. “That’s exactly what I want.”

Ezra’s chute clenched in anticipation. While he’d never taken anything Link’s size, he couldn’t wait to experience it. He knew his lover’s erection would stretch and fill him so good.

Link tightened his arm around Ezra, clutching him close. With his other hand, he reached down and gripped Ezra’s wrist, ceasing his playing. His expression intensified, and a tick pulsed at the corner of his jaw, barely visible at the edge of his beard.

“I want to mount you so damn bad, Ezra.”

Link’s deep voice came out a husky, rumbly growl, which sent a shiver down Ezra’s spine that made his prick twitch. Link continued speaking, and Ezra fought to focus on his words. “But if I do, I won’t be able to stop myself from claiming you. Are you ready for that?”

Swallowing hard, Ezra tried to find his tongue, and Link quickly repeated, “Are you ready to be mine for all time?”

Link’s words should have given Ezra pause, but all they did was send a fresh rush of anticipation through him.

“Yes,”

Ezra assured, giving Link’s erection a squeeze. “Yes, I want to be yours.”

Then he narrowed his eyes at the larger male. “That means you’ll be mine, too, right?”

“Yes,”

Link instantly responded. “Yes, I’ll be yours, and you’ll be mine.”

Ezra grinned and winked. “Then I think it’s time to move this party.”

“Hell, yeah.”

In an impressive show of strength, Link rose to his feet without releasing Ezra. Instead, he swung him into his arms and lifted him. He even made it look easy as he started across the meadow toward their gear.

Wrapping his arms around Link’s neck, Ezra held on for the ride. He was even more impressed when his lover swept both the satchel and his backpack up without stopping or setting him down, barely even slowing. He continued to hold Ezra in one arm, carrying their stuff, as he headed between the trees.

Link was obviously a man on a mission, and Ezra could feel that mission tap against his ass cheek with every step he took. The warmth of pre-cum smeared across his skin. The fluid evidence of Link’s need caused the hairs on Ezra’s legs to stand on end, and his own erection ached where it pressed into his stomach.

When Link seemed to have found the spot he wanted—a tiny clearing full of pine needles—he stopped and dropped their stuff.

“Perfect,”

Link declared. Finally placing Ezra on his feet, keeping him within the circle of one arm, Link cradled his jaw and peered into his eyes. “This first time is going to be hard and dirty, mate.”

Before Ezra could assure Link that he welcomed it and wouldn’t want it any other way, Link continued, “Scenting you, holding you, and touching you, for days without biting you has tested my control to the edge. Then you ask to be claimed.”

His big body shuddered against Ezra’s own as he declared, “I just need you so damn badly.”

“I’m right there with you, Link,”

Ezra told him, bussing a kiss to the edge of his beard. “Make me yours.”

With a moan, Link released him only to urge him onto his hands and knees.

Ezra was more than happy to sink down and present his ass to the bigger man. His chute clenched in anticipation, and he felt his breath catch in his chest when Link knelt behind him. He felt Link’s big palm on his ass cheek, squeezing lightly while pulling to one side.

Turning his head, Ezra watched Link grab his satchel with his free hand. He opened a front zipper pouch and pulled out a tube of lube. Link used his thumb to pop the cap, and Ezra soon felt the cool slick dripping down his crack.

“Came prepared?”

Ezra needed to tease, his voice sounding husky to his ears. “You a Boy Scout, too, Link?”

Link scoffed as he eased a thick digit into Ezra’s channel, stretching him. “Nope,”

he rumbled gruffly. “Just hopeful.”

Ezra opened his mouth, although he didn’t know what he was planning to say. Instead, a heartfelt moan ripped from his throat. The feel of Link’s fingers—when had he added a second one—sliding over and rubbing his prostate lit up his senses. His erection jerked at his groin, twitching and throbbing.

After swallowing hard, Ezra urged, “Hurry. Faster. Need.”

Never could he remember being reduced to one-word pleas, and he reveled in the passion building between them.

Growling, Link sounded almost pained. “Don’t wanna hurt you.”

Feeling a third finger stretching him, Ezra breathed through the burn. He must have tensed up or something, for a second later, Link was pushing more lube into his body. Then Link dropped the tube in favor of rubbing a hand up and down his back soothingly.

Ezra sighed, his body relaxing. He rocked into each of Link’s finger-thrusts, relishing the sensations heating his groin from his lover’s continued stimulation to his prostate. The base of his spine tingled, and he felt his balls begin to tighten.

“Shit, wait,”

Ezra ground out. “Too close.”

“Not without me, my mate,”

Link declared, sliding his fingers out of him.

Unable to help himself, regardless of the fact that it was what he’d just asked for, Ezra let out a moan of dismay.

“Easy, baby,”

Link crooned.

Ezra felt Link position his cock head at his hole. He focused on relaxing and breathing as he registered the pressure. A second later, Link’s large knob pushed past his guardian muscle, stretching him obscenely.

Ezra hissed and grunted in surprise at the sensation, and to his relief, Link paused. His lover bent over him, resting his weight on his left hand. Link wrapped his right arm around him, palming his chest and playing with his nipples.

“Relax, baby,”

Link urged, his voice tight with strain. “You can take me.”

He nuzzled Ezra’s neck, placing sucking kisses along his flesh. “You were made for me.”

When Link’s hand lowered to his groin and began fondling his prick, which had softened a bit at the pain, Ezra managed to relax. He sighed as his dick once again swelled. Pushing back toward Link, Ezra signaled he was ready.

Link moaned Ezra’s name and pressed forward. He slowly sank deep, deeper, until Ezra felt his pubes tickling his ass crack. The big man growled as he tightened his arm around his torso, clutching him close.

“Mine,”

Link snarled into his ear, sounding feral. “Finally, all mine.”

Ezra didn’t get a chance to respond. In the next instant, Link set a punishing rhythm. He pounded into Ezra, nailing his prostate with each thrust, lighting up the nerve endings within his chute.

Moaning in response, Ezra tried to rock back into each of Link’s thrusts, but his lover held him too tightly. All he could do was hang on for the ride...and what a ride it was. Link’s balls slapped against his own, sending tingles through his sack. His leg hairs slid against his own smoother flesh, creating delicious friction.

Before Ezra even realized it was happening, his balls pulled tight, and his release crashed through his system. He shouted Link’s name and rode the sweet bliss of his orgasm. His erection spurted pulse after pulse with his ecstasy.

As Ezra floated, he vaguely registered the masculine grunt above him. Then the unmistakable feeling of Link’s cock erupting within him, coating his insides with hot cum, registered to his blissed-out brain. Ezra started to smile, having never experienced such intimacy.

Then Link bit, sinking his teeth into the crook of Ezra’s neck. For just an instant, a sharp sting stabbed through his flesh, and he opened his mouth to express his pain. A second later, the most delicious tingles spread through Ezra’s body, and he let out a cry of pleasure as another orgasm surged through him.

Black spots flashed across Ezra’s vision as his brain fritzed out.

EZRA ROUSED.

He wasn’t certain how long he’d been out, but his body still hummed with satisfaction. He realized that he was lying on his side with Link spooned up behind him. The big man held him tightly, his hands roving over his chest.

As Ezra began to move so he could turn and face Link, he discovered something else. Link was still hard, and his erection was still inside his body. His lover even continued to micro-rut inside him.

“Please, don’t move,”

Link murmured into Ezra’s ear, then pressed a light kiss to the sensitive skin behind his ear. On a quiet moan, he muttered, “Feel so good, my mate. So good.”

Relaxing against Link, Ezra enjoyed the sensation of being filled. “You, too,”

he admitted.

While Ezra had never been much of a bottom before, with the way his system was already rousing for another round, he knew he would come to crave the feel of Link’s big dick very quickly. His gut clenched as his own cock twitched. The way Link suckled on his neck caused the hairs on his nape to stand on end.

Groaning with renewed desire, Ezra mumbled, “This shouldn’t be possible.”

“Told you.”

Link licked a stripe up his neck. “Always more intense between mates.”

Nuzzling his beard against Ezra’s neck, he sighed in obvious pleasure. “Will never get enough of you.”

Finally, Ezra could believe it. The feel of Link’s passion was something he would get addicted to so damn fast. The thought that he should be concerned about that was in and out of Ezra’s mind, ever-so-fleeting.

Then Link wrapped his hand around Ezra’s dick, and all he could focus on was the pleasure his lover gave him. He didn’t know how it was possible, but his balls tightened. The base of his spine tingled, and he groaned with ecstasy.

“Love those sounds,”

Link rumbled from behind him. “Love the smell of your arousal, the way your skin gleams with sweat from your pleasure.”

Licking up his neck again, Link hummed. “Taste so damn good.”

That pushed Ezra over the edge, and his body spasmed with his release.

Link groaned and shuddered, and more warmth filled Ezra’s ass.

Panting harshly, Ezra tried to catch his breath. “Wow.”

Chuckling roughly, Link rubbed his beard over Ezra’s neck again. “Yeah.”

“Love the way your beard feels,”

Ezra admitted, turning his head and offering more room. “Don’t ever shave it.”

“Good.”

Link did it again. “And I don’t intend to.”

Link tightened his arms around Ezra, squeezing him for another minute. Then he relaxed his hold and sighed deeply. Slowly, Link drew away, easing his softening member from Ezra’s body.

Ezra felt something oozing from his chute, and he clenched, feeling oddly empty. Realizing it was Link’s seed, he grimaced. That would take some getting used to, too.

Having obviously caught on to his reaction, Link rolled Ezra to his back and pecked a hard kiss to his lips. “I’ll clean you up, my mate. Don’t worry.”

He pushed to his knees and held out a hand. “Let’s go to the lake. Is there soap in your bag?”

“Yeah, there is,”

Ezra confirmed, eyeing Link’s hand. “But my legs feel like jelly. I don’t think I can walk, yet.”

Link grinned broadly, clearly pleased by that comment. “I’ll carry you.”

Then Link swept Ezra into his arms and did just that.
