Chapter 62 MIDNIGHT MAKE-OUT
The bedroom was shrouded in the quiet hush of midnight, the only light a faint sliver from the moon slipping through the curtains. Adam lay beside Kael, his body restless under the heavy covers. Kael's steady breathing had lulled him to sleep hours ago, but Adam couldn't join him. Adam has been turning and tossing around but sleep has refused to come for him.
A strange heat coiled low in his belly, unfamiliar and insistent, making his cock twitch and harden against the fabric of his boxers. He'd never felt this before… this aching need that made him shift closer, pressing his hips against Kael's thigh in a subtle grind.
Kael stirred, his alpha instincts sensing the movement even in sleep. His eyes fluttered open, and he turned toward Adam, one hand sliding up Adam's back in a soothing caress. “Darling,” Kael murmured, voice rough with sleep, “can't sleep?”
Adam flushed, burying his face in Kael's chest. “I... I don't know, Alpha. Just... uncomfortable.” He rocked his hips again, the friction sending a spark through him that made him bite his lip.
Kael's hand paused, then dipped lower, cupping Adam's ass gently. He felt the hardness pressing against him and hummed in understanding. “Let me help, my love.” With careful tugs, Kael peeled their clothes off under the covers; first Adam's shirt, then his boxers, followed by his own. The cool air kissed their bare skin, but the warmth of their bodies pressed close chased it away.
“Skin to skin always helps settle discomfort,” Kael said softly, pulling Adam flush against him.
But as their naked forms tangled, Adam's cock throbbed against Kael's hip, leaking a bead of precum. He whimpered, shy words tumbling out in a whisper. “Kael... I... I'm horny. It's embarrassing and I've never felt this way before. I wanna go to sleep but it hurts, like I need... you inside me.” His face burned, but the confession hung in the air, raw and needy.
Kael's breath hitched, his own arousal stirring to life. “Oh, baby,” he whispered, tilting Adam's chin up for a tender kiss. His lips brushed soft at first, then deeper, tongue slipping in to taste. Adam melted into it, hands clutching Kael's shoulders as the kiss turned lazy and raspy, midnight heat building with each slide of mouths and flick of tongues. Kael's fingers trailed down Adam's side, over his hip, to wrap around Adam's hard cock, stroking slowly. “I've got you, mate. Let Alpha take care of you.”
Adam gasped into the kiss, hips bucking into Kael's grip. “Alpha... please…”
Kael's free hand roamed lower, fingers circling Adam's entrance, teasing the tight ring of muscle. “Ohh moon, you're still so tight after my rut? You're so amazing, baby.” He reached for the lube on the nightstand, slicking his fingers before pressing one inside, gentle and probing. Adam whined, clenching around the intrusion, but Kael soothed him with more kisses, nipping at his jaw, his neck.
“Beautiful one, you're so tight for me,” Kael growled softly, adding a second finger, scissoring them to stretch Adam open. The burn was sweet, mingled with pleasure as Kael's thumb rubbed circles over Adam's prostate. Adam's moans grew breathier, body arching as he ground down on those fingers. “That's it, darling. Feel how much I want to please you.”
Soon, Kael couldn't wait. He withdrew his fingers, slicking his thick cock with more lube before guiding Adam onto his back. The covers tented over them, a private cocoon of heat. Kael settled between Adam's thighs, pressing the blunt head of his cock against that prepared hole. “Ready for me, my love?”
“Yes, Alpha... please fuck me,” Adam breathed, legs wrapping around Kael's waist.
Kael pushed in slowly, inch by inch, groaning at the velvet grip.
“So good, baby... taking me like this.” As he settled in balls deep, he paused, letting Adam adjust, their foreheads touching as they shared panting breaths. Then he began to thrust… lazy at first, deep rolls of his hips that dragged his cock along Adam's walls. Adam moaned, high and needy, fingers digging into Kael's back.
“Kael... oh god, harder… please.”
The pace quickened, Kael's thrusts turning firmer, pounding into Adam with a rhythm that shook the bed faintly. The wet sounds of skin meeting skin filled the room, Adam's whines escalating as pleasure coiled tight. “Alpha! Right there... I'm gonna—” His cock trapped between them rubbed against Kael's abs, and with a shattered cry, Adam came, ropes of cum splattering his own stomach.
Kael followed moments later, burying deep and spilling inside, his knot swelling just enough to lock them together briefly.
“Mine, mate... all mine,” he rasped, collapsing over Adam without crushing him.
They lay tangled, breaths evening out as the aftershocks faded. Kael pulled out carefully, grabbing a warm cloth from the bathroom to wipe away the mess on Adam's belly, then gently cleaning between his legs where cum leaked out. “There we go, my beautiful mate. All taken care of.”
Adam sighed contentedly as Kael drew him close again, both still naked under the covers. They shifted to their sides, Adam's back to Kael's chest, and Kael guided his softening cock back inside Adam's warmth, cockwarming in that slick heat. It was intimate, grounding, Adam's body relaxing fully for the first time that night.
“I'm sorry, Kael,” Adam murmured, voice small. “For waking you up... just for sex. I've never felt the urge like that before.”
Kael pressed a kiss to Adam's neck, arms wrapping around his waist possessively. “Don't apologize for something like that, darling. You're my mate. You own me. You own this body, every part of it.”
Adam chuckled softly, twisting to glance back. “That doesn't sound very romantic, Alpha.”
Kael smiled against his skin, nuzzling closer. “I guess not. Just know I love pleasing you. I'll do anything for you. And having sweet sex even in the middle of the night? It's not a task. It's something I'll gladly do anytime. Because my favorite space is this warm, tight hole of yours. I'm getting obsessed.”
“Ohh my goodness. You're insufferable. You turned me gay.”
“Gay?” Kael repeated, genuinely confused, “what does that mean?”
“…You don’t know?”
Kael shook his head once. “Humans have many words,” he said calmly. “Not all of them exist in the pack.”
Adam huffed a small laugh. “Okay. Uh. It means I like men. Instead of women. Y'know, it means a male being without another male instead of being with a female.”
Kael was quiet again. His fingers began to trace slow, absent circles along Adam’s chest, thoughtful. After a moment, he said, “That sounds… incomplete.”
Adam raised a brow. “Incomplete?”
“Yes.” Kael tilted his head, eyes focused on Adam like he was solving something important. “You do not like men.”
Adam snorted. “Pretty sure I do. Exhibit A: you.”
Kael clicked his tongue softly, disapproving. “No. You like me.”
Adam opened his mouth, then closed it.
Kael continued, voice low and certain. “You did not look at other men before me. You do not want other men now. Your body responds to mine. You love my scent. Your body reacts to my pheromones, not to any other man’s. Your heart—” He pressed his palm flat over Adam’s chest. “—beats like this because of me.”
Adam swallowed, suddenly very aware of how intimate they were.
“That is not ‘gay,’” Kael said. “That is bond.”
Adam’s voice came out quieter. “So… you don’t think it’s a bad thing?”
Kael frowned instantly. “Bad?” He cupped Adam’s face, thumb brushing his cheek with gentleness. “Why would it be bad to be with your mate? To love where your soul settles? Why do humans call it by that word anyway?”
Adam’s throat tightened. “Humans make it complicated.”
“Then let them,” Kael murmured. “We will not.”
A small smile tugged at Adam’s lips. “You’re saying I’m not gay.”
“I am saying,” Kael corrected, a possessive edge slipping into his tone, “that you are mine. And I am yours.”
Adam laughed softly, warmth spreading through his chest. “Wow. Way to make it about yourself, Alpha.”
Kael’s lips curved into a smug smile. “It is about me,” he said, kissing Adam's neck. “You like me.”
Adam sighed, melting into him. “Yeah,” he admitted. “I really do.”
“Then sleep, baby, nobody is gay here.” He whispered.
Adam's laughter bubbled up again, warm and affectionate, as he snuggled back, finally drifting toward sleep in Kael's embrace.
