Buck waited apprehensively, along with the other well-wishers. Tom sat at the front with his brothers, greeting relatives who’d mysteriously appeared. Must be hard, Buck mused, to have so many greedy relatives about. Buck had worked for Burl for a long time, since the Hardings bought out the local businesses, but he never liked the man. He always knew Tom had a complex relationship with his father, but Buck could see him soldiering on with his brothers, taking care of each guest and making sure everyone was comfortable.
When midnight struck, Buck wasn’t aware of falling asleep when Tom gently woke him. He blinked up at Tom, confused where he was for a moment. Then he recalled their promise, and a blush crept to his cheeks.
“Sorry, I feel asleep,” Buck confessed as they walked out of the funeral home. Well, Tom holding him close, interlacing their fingers together like they were a couple, made him decidedly awake.
“I hope you have plenty of energy left.”
“I should be the one saying that.” Buck looked up at Tom. “Are you sure you’re alright?”
“Yeah, but I need you now, Buck. Are you still going to say ‘no’ to me?”
Buck let out a strangled laugh. “I’ve already said ‘yes’.”
Above their heads rose the full moon. For some reason, Buck shivered. He knew Tom was a werewolf and they got horny during the full moon. But he also knew Tom needed him more than ever.
“Buck, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not approaching you because you’re a hook-up, you’re something more.”
Unsettled, Buck got into Tom’s car. “How long will you keep saying that?”
“Until you believe it, Buck-pet.”
“Okay, Tom.”
Buck swallowed, but urged himself to calm the hell down. He swore he’d be what Tom needed. Afraid yet excited, Buck couldn’t put a name to his feelings. So what if Tom would change his mind after? Buck wanted Tom for as long as he could remember. Heck, he’d sulked and mooned over Tom Harding the day Tom went off to college in the next state.
After that, Buck did all he could to forget Tom. He dated other men, nearly got engaged to one, but in the end, he realized none of them could measure up to Tom. Worse, Buck loved none of them. Without knowing it, he’d already given his heart to Tom Harding, and the bastard had no clue.
Buck wasn’t surprised Tom drove straight to Harding Manor. Although he’d been working for Burl Harding for years, he’d never been here. Often passing the huge gated property on his way to work, Buck realized it no longer looked as intimidating once inside.
“How does it feel like, coming home?” Buck asked. “Strange?”
“You can say that. Funny how years ago all my brothers and I could think about was leaving. Were we running towards something, searching for something, only to realize what we wanted was back here?”
“Never thought you were a thinker,” Buck finally managed to say. Tom stopped the car in front of the manor’s entryway.
Tom let out a sexy little laugh that made his insides turn to liquid. Moonlight made his yellow eyes slightly out worldly, and when he smiled, Buck saw the hint of his canines. How could this beautiful man, this powerful Alpha want him, plain and boring little Buck Mosley?
“In case you didn’t get my drift, I was talking about you, Buck-pet.”
“I got that,” Buck said hoarsely, although he hadn’t been too sure. They moved into the house and Tom handed his car keys to a butler.
“Do you require anything else, young master?” the butler intoned.
“Will you bring up some wine to my room? And please tell everyone else I’m not to be disturbed.”
“Very good, sir.” Was it Buck’s imagination, or did the butler gave his appearance an once-over?
When they arrived in Tom’s room, there was a bucket of wine waiting.
“Would you like a drink?” Tom asked, closing the door behind him.
Buck glanced around the room, smiling at the posters and old photos of Tom amidst the lavish contemporary interior. Damn it, all he could imagine was Tom, taking him in all areas of the room. The bed, desk, floor, shower—oh hell, what was wrong with him?
“No drink.”
“Buck,” Tom said in an even voice. “You can still change your mind.”
“No, it’s not that. I don’t want to be drunk, I want to remember tonight.”
“Feisty, human, I think I like you much better in private.”
“Oh, I know, Tom. How do you want this to go? I’m—” Buck faltered, then let it all out. “Not exactly experienced in this arena. I’ve been with some men, but we’ve never gotten to the last stage.”
Tom’s eyebrows shot up at that. “You’re a virgin.”
Then Tom growled, making Buck laugh.
“Tom, are you disappointed?”
“No, baby. This is fucking perfect, because I’m going to be your first and last.”
Buck shivered at those words.
“Show me how badly you want me, Buck. Strip.”
With trembling fingers, Buck obeyed. His cheeks turned red with each piece of clothing that fell away, but Tom’s hungry look made it all worthwhile. I want to devour you, Tom’s eyes read and oh boy, did Buck want to be ravished by this hunk of an Alpha.
Tom stripped out of his own clothes in record speed. Buck stared, open-mouthed and speechless at Tom’s girth.
“Oh Lord, Tom. I’m not sure you can fit in me.”
“Come here, pet. I won’t bite.”
Buck approached him, shyly and tentatively, squeaking when Tom banded one arm around his waist and pulling them close. A moan slipped out of Buck when his lean body rubbed against the hard muscled expanse of Tom’s upper body. Tom pressed his cock against his belly, so thick and needy. Buck’s own shaft began to harden. Tom gripped his buttocks, squeezing them.
“Kiss me,” Buck whispered, overwhelmed but ready. God, he’d been born ready for this.
Tom tilted his chin. “Remember, Buck-pet. I’m the one who gives the commands here.” But nonetheless, Tom plundered his lips, all tongue and teeth...and Buck loved every moment of it. Tom pulled away and Buck moaned into his mouth, wanting more. Laughing, Tom kissed him again, this time thrusting his tongue down his throat.
“You like my kisses, baby?”
“Oh, yes. Tom.”
“Good, I hope you won’t get sick of them.”
“Never!”
“Get on your knees, pet. I want to introduce you to my cock.”
Buck fell on his knees. He might be a virgin, but this, he was good at. Licking his lips at the sight of the monster between Tom’s legs, Buck sighed when Tom sunk his hand in his hair, drawing him close.
“Show me how badly you want my prick, Buck.”
He opened his mouth, tongue darting out to lick the pre-cum on Tom’s tip. Tom groaned as Buck licked him like his favorite ice lolly—with lingering and lashing strokes. Knowing below the head was a sensitive spot, Buck took his time there, not sparing Tom’s balls either.
“So good, pet. Take me in your mouth. Now.”
Tempting as it was to continue enjoying himself, Buck opened his mouth, swirling his tongue over Tom’s cock head. He bobbed his head up and down, while Tom groaned his approval above him, fingers fisting his hair.
“Damn it, Buck-pet. Who knew you were a champion at sucking cock?
Buck took that as a compliment. Tom pulled his dick out of his mouth. “Mouth or face, pet?”
“Mouth.”
Groaning, Tom fucked his mouth a few more times, before exploding and spilling his hot warm seed down Buck’s waiting throat. Buck licked every drop of Tom’s cream, not wanting to waste any.
“So perfect, pet.” To his surprise, Tom knelt in front of him, pulling him close for a kiss, tasting both of them combined. Buck whimpered at the feel of Tom’s hand on his member, stroking him from root to crown, over and over, driving him mad.
“Please,” Buck pleaded.
“I want you to give it to me, Buck-pet. I want to hear you cry out my name.”
“Tom!” Buck screamed in a paroxysm of pure pleasure. Seeing stars, the pressure building in him burst.
Tom put his wet fingers to Buck’s mouth, seemingly enjoying the way Buck licked them dry. Heck, Buck didn’t miss the fact Tom sported a woody again, ready for more action and damn it, Buck wanted him more than ever.
“Very good, pet,” Tom said, cupping his chin. Helping Buck on his feet, Tom took his hands and kissed him on the mouth again. Heat poured down his throat, turning the fire between them into a raging inferno. They rubbed their dicks together, groaning.
Cheeks red, Buck asked, “Where do you want me?”
“I want to look upon your face when I have you the first time, Buck-pet. Then, I want you deep.”
“Oh, Tom,” Buck moaned, even though Tom hadn’t done anything yet. Despite not knowing each other that well intimately in the bedroom, his Alpha seemed to know he wanted both the sweet and the rough. “I’m so new at this. Please tell me what to do.”
“Lie on the edge of the bed. Knees up and show me how ready and hard you are for me, baby.”
Feeling apprehensive and excited at once, Buck crawled into bed. Red-faced, Buck parted his legs, flashing Tom his thickening dick. Licking his lips, Tom walked to the drawer beside the bed and began taking out things.
“What are you doing?”
“Getting some lube and some toys I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy.”
“No protection? Oh, I forgot. Shifters don’t catch anything,” Buck murmured. He already began to imagine how it would feel like, being ridden bareback by Tom.
“Don’t worry, Buck-pet. I’m going to go slow, make sure you won’t forget this.”
“Tom,” Buck breathed. “I doubt I’ll forget you anytime soon.”
“Good, because other men won’t compare.”
“So confident?”
“You’re the one, baby. My mate. I’m never ever letting you go.”
Warming up to the concept, Buck began to believe those words. “Tom, please. I need you in me.”
“Soon, baby, but I got to warm you up.” Tom positioned himself between Buck’s legs and held up a dildo for him to see. “I’m going to stretch you a little first with this, so you can take me. Do you trust me?”
“Always.”
Buck got incredibly aroused, seeing Tom lube his fingers, before finally moving to his waiting hole.
“Oh, Tom. No one has ever touched me there.”
“I’ll go gentle, Buck-pet.” After lubing his ass, Tom pushed one finger in, then a second. Buck moaned at the sensation, squirming slightly as Tom finger-banged him. Withdrawing his digits, Tom pressed the plastic head of the dildo inside Buck. Bucking, Buck groaned when Tom smacked his inner thighs, left then right.
“Behave, pet.”
“I’ll try,” Buck answered, mischievous smile on his lips.
“Take it all in for me, baby.”
Nodding, Buck felt Tom push the toy all the way in, until it was lodged firmly in his ass. He could see Tom’s cock hardening, tip red and glistening. Buck couldn’t help imagine how Tom’s member would feel like, instead of a toy. Blanketing his body over Buck’s, Tom imprisoned Buck’s hands above his head. Tom devoured his mouth like his lips were something edible. Giving in, Buck realized he began to grow addicted to the taste of him.
“Oh, Tom. You’re all I’ve ever wanted and you’ve made me wait for so long,” Buck whispered after Tom pulled his mouth away.
“I’m sorry, Buck, to keep you waiting. But from now on, things will be different.”
“I hope so, Tom.”
“Believe it, baby, because I’m about to prove it to you.” Tom’s hand moved to the dildo and began pulling it out, and Buck whimpered as he suddenly ached for something bigger.
“Ready?”
“Yes.”
Tom teased Buck’s entrance with his tip, before pushing in. Heart racing, Buck felt Tom tighten his grip on Buck’s hips. Fully lubed and prepared by the dildo, Tom didn’t meet any obstruction. Sheathed fully inside Buck, Tom’s balls brushed against his ass. Eyes wide, Buck breathed hard.
“That’s it, relax. I’m going to make you feel good soon.”
Willing his ass muscles to relax, Buck enjoyed the sensation of Tom pistoning in and out. Beginning to pick up speed, Tom took his mouth again. Tom seemed intent on breaching his most intimate places. Reaching between their bodies, Tom began fisting his cock, pumping him in tune to his thrusts. Buck clutched at his shoulders, gaze not leaving the Alpha’s, his Alpha now.
“Give it to me again, pet,” Tom demanded and Buck was eager for release.
Only glad to, Buck screamed out Tom’s name as he saw stars in his vision. Waves of pleasure broke all over his body as Buck emptied his seed into Tom’s waiting hand, spilling his cum over Tom’s ribs and stomach.
Tom slammed into him several times, before growling out his triumph. Hands locked around Tom’s neck, Buck pulled his Alpha in for a kiss. Tom held him close, not letting go as he unloaded his warm cum into Buck’s ass.
“God, Tom. That was amazing. You’re amazing.”
“We’re amazing,” Tom corrected, collapsing on Buck’s side. Watching Tom with half-lidded eyes, Buck smiled lazily as Tom pulled out wet wipes and began cleaning both of them up.
“Love you,” Buck uttered, horrified seconds later. How could he say those words to Tom? But it was nonetheless true. Buck had loved Tom from afar for so long, it had hurt watching Tom leave Cherry Harding all those years ago.
To his surprise, Tom kissed his forehead. “What a coincidence, baby, because I love you too. Although it took me a while to admit that, will you still accept and love me, Buck-pet?”
“Always, Alpha.”
Tom slid into the covers, pulling Buck to his chest. With a contented sigh, Buck settled in his muscled arms, enjoying the warm press of his chest.
“What will happen tomorrow, and the day after next, Tom?”
“Glad you asked that question, baby, because I have an answer.”
Buck raised his brows, groaning when Tom reached for his dick. The bastard looked amused when Buck began to thrust his cock into his hand. “There’s my father’s funeral to attend, some things to settle, but I doubt I’ll be going back to the city.”
Surprised, Buck turned, so he faced Tom, speechless.
“I hope you’re not sick of me yet, pet, because I’ll be staying here with you for the long run.”
“I’ll never ever be sick of you, Tom.”
