Chapter Four

“So tasty,” Korey murmured against Vince’s neck. He took one of Vince’s nipples into his mouth and sucked hard until the bud firmed up. Korey did the same with the next, biting down to leave his mark there. Damn, but his teeth marks looked amazing on Vince’s creamy unblemished skin.

“You’re amazing too, Alpha,” Vince murmured.

Korey could see Vince was hard again, the Omega’s dick already at half-mast. Good.

“Are you ready for me, pet?”

“I was born ready,” Vince declared, looking into his eyes. “I-I think I was made for this, for you, Alpha.”

Korey sealed their lips together. “I believe that too, pet. Fate set you on my path and I’m never going to let you go.”

Gripping Vince’s thighs, he positioned his cock head into Vince’s puckered entrance. He teased his Omega a little, rubbing his slick head against Vince’s hole but not pushing in until Vince begged.

“Please, Alpha. I need you in me.”

Perfect answer from his needy little mate. Korey entered Vince, inch by inch, careful to go slow, until Vince got used to him. The Omega’s ass muscles clenched around his dick and Vince groaned.

“Relax for me, baby. Once the hard part’s over, you’ll be screaming my name in pleasure soon enough.” At his coaxing, Vince breathed in and out. Korey continued. Once he passed the thick ring of muscles and sheathed himself balls deep inside Vince, Vince let out a sigh.

“You fill me up completely, Alpha.”

Korey grinned, staying there for a couple of seconds until Vince shifted slightly on his lap.

“Ready for me to move?” he asked.

“Hell, yes!”

Chuckling, Korey began to piston his way in and out of Vince’s tight little hole. Damn, but the Omega felt good around his dick. He settled on a rhythm. Vince clutched at his shoulders, nails leaving half-crescent marks on his skin. Korey didn’t mind. He liked marking his Omega and his Omega leaving little souvenirs on his skin.

“Faster, Alpha.” Vince pleaded.

Korey pushed in and out, going faster and deeper with each turn, penetrating Vince’s most intimate places.

“Pleasure yourself,” he told Vince. Despite the heat of the moment, his Omega obeyed, beginning to glide his fist up and down his cock.

Shifting the angle of his thrusts, Korey must have hit Vince’s sweet spot, because the Omega cried out and his eyes widened. Vince didn’t stop stroking himself though. Good boy.

“Again, please. That felt so damn good,” Vince whispered.

Korey aimed for Vince’s sweet spot repeatedly, riled by Vince’s gasps of pleasure. He could feel Vince’s inner muscles, tightening around his shaft each time he hammered in. Groaning, Korey picked up speed, until they were both panting. Knowing Vince would shoot soon, he nipped at the Omega’s ear and whispered, “Go ahead, baby. Come for me.”

It seemed that was all Vince was waiting for. The Omega threw his head back and screamed out his name. As if instinct drove Vince, Vince offered the side of his neck to him—a show of submission, a gift.

Korey sheathed himself inside Vince one more time before growling out his orgasm. The room fell away; all that mattered was Vince and his body, connected. He could sense his Alpha beast, wounded around Vince’s smaller Omega wolf.

Unsheathing his fangs, he drove them on the side of Vince’s neck. The Omega gripped his biceps hard. Korey emptied his balls inside Vince’s opening, hoping in some way his seed would catch.

Never before had he been so certain of anything his entire life. He could envision it now, having a family with Vince. A house, a pup or two—given his calling as a bassist for Dominance, they would have to make tweaks here and there. Mick and Steel were thinking of the future too. They all agreed on continuing to make music.

It wouldn’t be easy, but Korey would find a way to make things work. Feeling the soul link spring up between them, he pulled away.

“We’re now one, pet. One life force, mates for life,” Korey said. Tilting Vince’s head, he gave his mate a long and lingering kiss. When he pulled away, he saw pleasure filling Vince’s eyes. Vince buried his head in the crook of his neck, sighing in contentment. Korey stroked his mate’s back thoughtfully, savoring the perfect moment. Eventually, he kissed Vince’s cheek.

“I need to see the bite on your neck, pet.”

“I hardly feel the pain,” Vince sounded sleepy beside him.

“Your climax might have clouded it, but I still need to look at the wound.” Korey gently set Vince down on the bed. “Stay here.”

Vince gave him a tender smile. “I’m not going anywhere.”

“Counting on that, baby.” Korey got off the bed to retrieve a first-aid kit and clean washcloths. When he returned to Vince, Vince had his eyes closed, but opened them at the sight of him. Korey cleaned both of them up first, before tending to Vince’s wound.

While disinfecting the bite, he noticed Vince watching him.

“What are you thinking about, little Omega?” Korey asked.

“How unexpectedly sweet you are, despite being domineering too.”

“You like that combination?” Korey asked.

“You know I do,” Vince said without hesitation.

After Korey finished bandaging Vince’s neck, he dumped the kit and deposited the washcloths in the bathroom. By the time he returned to his mate, Vince was on his phone.

“Texting Sally and Reed,” Vince told him.

“I’ll be delighted to meet these friends of yours,” Korey said, slipping into bed. Vince cuddled close to him, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. The Omega felt warm against him, perfectly made. The missing piece of the puzzle Korey had been searching for all his life.

“They’ll be shocked,” Vince said, grinning.

Korey placed a hand on Vince’s thigh. He was so hungry for his Omega. So tempting to fuck Vince senseless again, but he was also hungry to know more about his mate. He told Vince, “I don't know anything about you, Vince-pet.”

“I’m the same. I know some stuff about you, but only what they write in the news,” Vince said.

Korey raised his brows. “What do you know?”

“Like, I know your favorite color is blue and your favorite food is honey-glazed ribs.”

Korey chuckled. “Showing off, pet? Damn, but I feel I’m at a disadvantage, because I know next to nothing aside from what you’ve told me.”

Vince reached for his hand. Marveling at how Vince’s hand looked tiny compared to his, Korey lifted Vince’s fingers to his lips and gave the Omega’s knuckles a kiss. Color bloomed on Vince’s cheeks.

“What was that for?”

Korey shook his head. Setting Vince’s hand down, he brushed fingers over the bite on Vince’s neck. “Do you know what this is, pet?”

Vince nodded. “I’ve been trying to learn more about the shifter culture ever since I got out of my house. This is a mate mark.”

If possible, Vince grew even redder, but there was quiet satisfaction in those eyes.

“This means you’re mine now,” Korey told him.

Vince shuddered. “Yours. God, Korey. You can’t imagine how long I’ve dreamt of this moment, never expecting it to come true. Truthfully? It’s exciting and terrifying at once.”

“I know what you mean. This is new to me too.”

Vince looked surprised. “You feel the same?”

“I’m scared of fucking this up too.”

Vince leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, shocking the hell out of Korey. His bold little mate—Korey wondered how he’d ever lived his life without Vince. “You won’t. Relationships take time to build and I’m willing to put in the work.”

“Take each day as it comes.” Korey agreed. “Are your friends worried?”

“They didn’t reply, which is kind of odd. Sally and Reed are somewhat overprotective of me. Maybe they turned in early.”

“Tomorrow, we have plenty of things to do, pet.”

“We do?” Vince’s eyes widened. Then the realization must have dawned on the Omega.

Korey nodded, beginning to stroke Vince’s arm, the gesture seemed to calm the Omega down. “First things first, you’re moving in with me. I need my mate with me at all times. Understand this, pet. I’m one possessive bastard.”

Vince smiled. “I like you possessive. I’m staying with Sally and Reed. They have an apartment downtown.”

“I know, baby. We’ll get your things tomorrow and you can introduce me to your friends. I have a feeling we’ll have a couple of things to talk about.”

“What about you? Mating me will change your life too,” Vince insisted.

“I’ve seen Mick and Steel manage it. Never seen them any happier for choosing their mates and I know you’d get along with Bo and Stefan. They’re pretty down to earth. We’ll talk about your future too, like what you want to do aside from traveling with the band.”

“This is all so exciting,” Vince murmured, rubbing his head against his shoulder. Boy, did Korey’s wolf like that. A lot. He couldn’t seem to get enough of touching his mate, but then, that was expected. Shifters liked touch. It was a comfort thing, but for mates, it was always different. Special. Intimate. And their bonds were stronger than any marriage bond.

“We’ll talk tomorrow. For now, get some sleep, baby.”

“I don’t want to sleep. I’m scared that when I wake up, I’ll discover this was all a dream,” Vince confessed.

“Silly pet. When you wake up, the first thing you’ll discover is my cock buried in your ass and my mate mark pulsing on your neck.”

Vince looked shocked, then relieved. “I’ll look forward to tomorrow then.”
