Chapter 84 WITH HIM
Adam shifted restlessly in the dim glow of the bedside lamp, the clock ticking past midnight. Kael, sensing the movement, pulled him closer, his large hand caressing Adam's back in slow, soothing strokes, as if that could lull him into sleep. But Adam's mind raced, worry knotting his stomach. He knew something was bothering Kael; the Alpha had gone to bed moody, his usual steady presence fractured by unspoken stress.
Adam rested his head on Kael's broad chest, the steady thump of his heart a comforting rhythm beneath his ear.
“Would sex lighten up your worried mind?” He murmured, his voice soft in the quiet room.
Kael's hand paused on his back. “You're not sleeping?”
“I can somehow sense your disturbed mind. I can't sleep, but I might be able to if you tell me what's keeping you up. We can both go to sleep if you're less worried.”
Kael sighed, his fingers resuming their gentle path down Adam’s spine.
“I'm sorry, baby. It's just pack issues. Please go to sleep, don't worry about me.”
“A good orgasm might help you, and me too.” Adam pressed closer, his body warm against Kael's.
“You're still sick; we can't do that.” Kael's voice held a protective edge.
“I'm very okay.”
“You're also pregnant, and I'm really in a conflict with my wolf right now. I might lose control and release pheromones.”
Adam lifted his head, meeting Kael's gaze with a reassuring smile. “Even better. Your pheromones can be so alluring, and I want that scent wrapped around me.”
Kael hugged him tighter, his arms like iron bands. “Baby, you don't understand. I can't—”
“You're overthinking. It's not our first time, and it's not like you're in rut. Why are you making me beg?”
In a swift motion, Kael flipped them over, hovering above Adam, his muscular frame casting a shadow in the low light. “I dare not make you beg. Don't you know, love, my daily tasks include fighting the urge to pin you down and bury myself in you?”
“Well, stop fighting.” Adam grabbed Kael's hair, pulling him into a demanding kiss, their lips crashing together with urgent need. He broke away just enough to whisper, “Give in to the urge.”
“I can't afford to right now. I uhh... I—it's... I don't—”
Adam's eyes narrowed slightly. “Kael, are you hiding something from me?”
Kael shook his head, but Adam's hand slid down, cupping the bulge at Kael's crotch. He felt the rock-hard cock straining against the fabric, throbbing under his touch. “You're rock hard. You want this, so what's the problem?”
“I'm— I. I'm scared of hurting you— I don't know how to— I'm just a little scared.”
Adam held Kael's face in both hands, thumbs brushing his stubbled cheeks. “You won't hurt me. I trust you, and I promise to let you know if I feel any pain or discomfort.”
“Adam—” Kael's voice broke, raw with emotion.
“Please, I need you.”
Kael let out a shaky breath through his mouth, then captured Adam's lips in a kiss laced with controlled hunger. Their mouths moved together, tongues sliding and tasting, Kael's stubble scraping lightly against Adam's smoother skin. The kiss deepened, Adam's hands roaming up Kael's back, pulling at his shirt.
They peeled away layers slowly at first… Kael's shirt tugged over his head, revealing the hard planes of his chest dusted with dark hair. Adam's fingers traced the ridges of muscle, eliciting a low groan from Kael. Adam's own shirt followed, discarded to the floor, and Kael's hands explored the soft skin of his torso, careful around the early swell of pregnancy that wasn't yet visible but weighed on Kael's mind.
Kael's lips trailed from Adam's mouth to his jaw, then down his neck, planting open-mouthed kisses that made Adam arch into him. “Is this okay?” Kael murmured against his skin, voice husky.
“Yes,” Adam breathed, his hands working at Kael's pants, shoving them down along with his underwear. Kael's thick cock sprang free, heavy and leaking pre-cum at the tip. Adam wrapped his fingers around it, stroking firmly, drawing a deep moan from Kael. “Ahhh baby you— uh-huh don't do that.” Kael pulled away from Adam's hand as Adam was teasing his tip.
They shed the rest of their clothes in a tangle of limbs, bare skin pressing together. Kael's body covered Adam's, warm and solid, his cock sliding against Adam's thigh as they caressed each other. Hands roamed— Kael's palms cupping Adam's ass, squeezing gently, while Adam's nails raked lightly down Kael's back.
Kael kissed him again, slower this time, tongues tangling in a rhythm that built the heat between them. He reached between Adam's legs, fingers circling his entrance, slicking it with spit before pushing one in carefully. Adam gasped into the kiss, his hips bucking. “You're so tight,” Kael whispered, adding a second finger, scissoring them to stretch him.
“Feels good,” Adam panted, breaking the kiss to nip at Kael's lower lip. Their mouths met again and again, kisses turning messy with shared breaths and soft sighs.
Kael withdrew his fingers, positioning himself. He rubbed the head of his cock against Adam's hole, teasing. “Are you okay?”
Adam nodded, pulling Kael closer. “Please.”
With a controlled push, Kael sank in, the thick length breaching Adam inch by inch. Adam's walls clenched around him, hot and welcoming. Kael groaned, burying his face in Adam's neck. “Fuck, you feel amazing.” He paused halfway, letting Adam adjust. “Is it too much?”
“No, keep going,” Adam urged, his legs wrapping around Kael's waist.
Kael thrust deeper, fully sheathing himself, their bodies joined completely. He started a gentle rhythm, pulling out almost to the tip before sliding back in, each movement deliberate and tender. Adam moaned, his hands gripping Kael's shoulders, the stretch burning sweetly.
Their kisses grew fervent, lips bruised from the intensity, Kael's tongue sweeping into Adam's mouth as he rocked into him. The pace quickened, gentle strokes turning hot and urgent. Groans filled the room… Kael's deep rumbles mixing with Adam's higher whimpers. Sweat slicked their skin, bodies slapping together softly at first, then harder.
Kael's control frayed, his eyes flashing amber for a split second, wolf instincts surging. Pheromones flooded the air, thick and musky, wrapping around them like a haze. Adam inhaled deeply, the scent intoxicating, making his skin tingle.
Then the glowing marks surfaced on Adam's skin, faint lines creeping across his chest, arms, and up to his neck. A mild burning sensation followed, like warm candle wax, not painful but insistent.
Kael froze mid-thrust, his cock buried deep, eyes widening in alarm. “Baby— the marks. I have to stop.”
Adam shook his head, the glow illuminating his flushed face. “Don't stop. It feels good— the burn, your scent. Go faster, please.”
Kael hesitated, searching Adam's eyes, then nodded, emotion swelling in his chest. “I love you,” he whispered, resuming with renewed vigor. His thrusts picked up speed, pounding into Adam harder, the bed creaking under them. Adam's moans turned to cries, the glowing marks pulsing brighter with each impact, the mild burn heightening every sensation.
“Is this okay?” Kael asked between gritted teeth, his hand stroking Adam's leaking cock in time with his hips.
“Yes— fuck, yes. Are you okay?” Adam gasped, even as pleasure coiled tight in his belly.
“Never better,” Kael growled, leaning down for another kiss, their tongues dueling as he drove deeper. “Is it too much?”
“More,” Adam demanded, nails digging into Kael's back.
The room filled with the sounds of their passion. Wet slaps of skin, heavy breaths, and shared moans. Kael's pheromones intensified, the marks on Adam's neck glowing vividly now, the sensation making him clench tighter around Kael's cock.
Adam came first, his body seizing as cum spurted over Kael's hand and his own stomach. Waves of ecstasy crashed through him, his hole fluttering around Kael's length, milking him. ‘Kael— oh god—”
The sight and feel pushed Kael over the edge. He thrust erratically, burying himself to the hilt as he came, hot spurts filling Adam deep inside. A guttural groan tore from his throat, his body shuddering with release. “Baby… fuck—”
They rode out the orgasm together, Kael's hips grinding slowly as the last pulses faded. He collapsed gently onto Adam, careful not to crush him, and pressed soft kisses to Adam's neck— right over the glowing marks. His lips soothed the mild burn, tender and loving, as their breathing evened out.
“I love you,” Kael murmured against the warm skin, kissing along the glowing lines. “Thank you for trusting me.”
Adam smiled, running fingers through Kael's damp hair. “Always. Now, maybe we can both sleep. Or go for a sec
ond round.”
Kael chuckled softly, nuzzling closer, their bodies still connected in the afterglow.
