Chapter 52

The alpha’s warm breath tickled Rafe’s ear as he murmured, “Well, now that’s out of the way, I can fuck you properly.”

Properly? Rafe’s knees already wouldn’t support him. If he was fucked any more properly, his bones would melt.

Rafe swallowed hard and tried to find his voice. “That wasn’t the main attraction?”

“Oh, no, my love.”

A ripple of pleasure flowed through Rafe at the endearment. Theirs truly was a love match. Already he couldn’t see a future that didn’t include Grant, couldn’t imagine life without his alpha. It was so much more than biology.

Grant licked a swath up the back of Rafe’s neck, sending shivers down the omega’s spine. “That was just the introduction, to take off the edge. When I knot you, believe me, you’ll know it.”

Excited, but unnerved at the idea of yet more sensation, Rafe rubbed the solid arms surrounding him. “Maybe I’ll need to lie down for that part.”

“It would be best. But don’t worry. I’m right here with you all the way.”

Rafe closed his eyes. “I know.”

And thank God for that. 29

Rafe was floating on a lazy river of endorphins when Grant’s still engorged cock slid out with a sucking sound. A flood of lubrication and semen followed. The alpha grabbed one of the towels he’d stacked on the dresser and tidied the two of them. He turned Rafe to face him. “Ready?”

Knowing what was coming, Rafe couldn’t help but smile. Who could have predicted his staid, conservative alpha would have a hidden streak of romantic hero in him. But during their stay in the cabin, it had become something of a tradition.

Effortlessly, Grant scooped Rafe into his arms and strode the few short steps to the bed. With gentle care, as if Rafe were a precious treasure, the alpha settled his omega on the sheets and adjusted the pillows with precision. “Comfy?”

“Perfect.”

“You certainly are.”

The alpha pounced onto the bed and straddled his omega, placing a hand on either side of Rafe’s head. “I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have found you. Not that you made it easy.”

“Yeah, but wasn’t I worth the effort?”

Grant’s eyes darkened. “Let’s find out, shall we?” He leaned down and took possession of Rafe’s mouth, exploring deep with his talented tongue. After a minute, he released the kiss and licked and nibbled his way down Rafe’s neck before heading further south.

Breathless, Rafe squirmed beneath the onslaught of tongue and teeth as his cock filled. God, his alpha was going to kill him. The next moment, all coherent thought fled as Grant swallowed him whole. And when two, no three fingers tickled his opening, a sea of natural lubrication rushed out. He could feel it soaking the sheets. His cheeks warmed; he still wasn’t comfortable with the excesses of his body, no matter how much his alpha seemed to revel in it.

Grant let loose his mouthful of cock and grinned. “Hey, I’m doing my best work here, and you’re getting self-conscious again. How many times do I have to tell you what a turn-on your physical reaction to me is? Your body is a perfect temple I’m going to worship again and again—you know, until I get it right.” He knelt up and took Rafe’s hands in his, pulling them to his groin.

Rafe grasped his alpha’s enormous cock, and Grant guided him to the base. “Feel that?”

Rafe concentrated and yes, there was a hard area, harder than the rest. Under careful probing, it grew even as Rafe held it. He looked at his alpha’s face. “Is it—”

“Yup, the knot is forming. I need to be inside you now.”

Rafe’s breath came out in a ragged exhale. Despite how good it all felt so far, he was still nervous. It sounded so odd to be physically fused together with no exit strategy.

As if reading Rafe’s mind, the alpha gathered him into a reassuring hug. “Don’t worry. We’ll fit together fine because we’re made for each other. Besides, did I mention the multiple orgasms?”

“Um, no, I think you skipped that part. But I thought you never…I mean, how do you know so much?”

“My parents made sure I got thorough ‘alpha facts of life’ training.” His expression turned wistful. “Do you trust me?”

“I do.”

“Then let me demonstrate what I learned.”

Rafe smiled his agreement. It was foolish to be anxious. Not when he was in the care of the most gentle and loving alpha.

“Roll onto your belly. Like I said before, it’ll be more comfortable. There’s no telling how long we’ll be locked together, but that’s where the multiple orgasms come in to help pass the time.”

“Better than playing solitaire.” Rafe flipped onto his front and spread his legs, enjoying a bright satisfaction at hearing the sharp intake of his alpha’s breath.
