Chapter thirteen

Ronny

Ipull Zander against me once we're alone inside my RV. A shiver runs through me as his belly touches my own. I still have a hard time wrapping around my head that my baby is in there, nestled safe and warm. Zander's pregnancy has been so incredibly fast, so I've had to prepare myself quickly to become a father.

Maybe it's better this way. Less time to overthink things.

His fingers play through the hair at the back of my neck before he's tugging me down into a kiss. I let him lead me, opening my lips for him when I feel his tongue press against the seam of my lips. A moan leaves my throat when our tongues touch. A shiver runs through me at the fierceness of Zander's kiss. He's usually so gentle with me, making sure I'm okay. It makes me happy to know he trusts me enough to take exactly what he wants, knowing I'll ask him to slow us down if I need it.

"I want to tell you something," Zander whispers against my lips. He helps me out of my shirt, his hands running over my toned chest and stomach.

"Anything."

"I love you."

Surprise rushes through me before I go warm all over. A smile splits my face so wide that my cheeks hurt. Holy shit. Of course I love Zander, how could I not. But it overwhelms me that he could somehow love me back.

"I love you, too," I say right away, cupping his face gently in my hands. I kiss his nose and he smiles. "I love you so much. I love you and JJ and our baby."

We kiss again and this time it's much gentler. "I have one more thing," he says with a warm chuckle. "I want you to be my mate, Ronny. I'm ready to finally take that step."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," he says right away, nodding his head. "I trust you, Ronny. I know you'll protect me and push me and make sure JJ and this baby are okay. I love you, Ronny. I want you as my mate."

"Then we'll make it happen. But you'll have to talk me through it."

"Of course," Zander says, his hands tightening around my wrists. "I'm happy to talk you through everything."

We quickly strip out of our clothes, our hands caressing each other and our mouths finding each other's skin. Everything feels heightened, electrified with emotion now that our intentions have been stated. I'm going to be Zander's mate.

Zander lays on his back, his thighs open for me. I smile wide as I lay on my stomach between his open legs. "Is this okay?" I ask him, making my plan very obvious. He licks his lips, staring down at me with lust filled eyes, nodding his head.

With permission, I take his cock into my mouth. The feel of it against my tongue makes my own cock throb. I love this. I love the taste, love the feel, love how powerful it makes me feel to pleasure Zander like this.

A moan rings through the room and I just barely keep myself from smiling. At the same time, I bring my hand to his ass, swirling my finger around his wet hole. He squirms, wordlessly begging for what he wants and of course I give it to him.

"Ronny! Oh fuck," Zander gasps out as I finger him, taking my time and making sure he's nice and ready for my cock. I've only been having sex for a few months but I like to think I'm a fast learner and Zander makes it easy and fun, always willing to take things as fast or as slow as I need.

I'm lucky to have him as my mate.

I get lost in the act of pleasuring Zander. My hips ride down against my mattress and I moan, and based on the way Zander's hand finds my hair and pulls, I'd say it must feel really, really good on his dick. He gasps out, his eyes wide as he stares down at me.

"Ronny. Please. I want you to fuck me. Please."

I pull my mouth away from his cock. The only thing keeping my disappointment at bay is knowing I'm about to be inside him. Knowing I'm about to become Zander's mate in more than just name makes my stomach flutter with excitement. Will I be able to tell the difference? Will I be able to feel him like other mates sense each other?

"Do you wanna ride me? So you're in control, baby?"

Zander's cheek pinken and he bites his bottom lip. "Actually, I was hoping you would take me from behind? I want you to bite the back of my neck."

Shock makes me freeze. That area, the spot that John bit over and over but never made Zander his mate is quite literally a tender spot, not only physically but emotionally. "Are you sure?"

"I'm tired of that being this heavy cloud hanging over my head. I want you to be mine. I want you to cover up his marks. Would you?"

"Yes," I tell him, crawling up his body and kissing him. I'm careful of his belly but still keep us skin to skin. "I love you, Zander. You're mine."

I kiss his cheek. "I have to tell you something, and I'm worried this is going to quite literally ruin the mood but I think you should know."

"Okay?"

"John will never be a problem again."

Zander blinks slowly, taking this in. "What did you do?"

"I've ruined him," I say bluntly. "And I feel zero remorse."

"But how, Ronny?"

"I flagged his ID, he'll never be able to have a credit card or get a loan, no bank will give him the time of day, when he applies for jobs his name will be flagged." I swallow thickly. "He's on a no fly list, I've made it so the IRS is looking into his finances and I'm pretty sure they'll be arresting him for tax fraud at the least. Even if nothing sticks he will never be able to have a normal life again. There's no way a litter would allow such an alpha as their leader. He's ruined."

I get it all out, praying that Zander will still want to be my mate after hearing what I'm capable of.

"Really?"

I stare into his hopeful, green eyes. "Yes."

I wasn't sure what I was expecting but being flipped over onto my back and kissed within an inch of my life was not it. I let out a startled noise before I begin to kiss Zander back. I can tell he's relieved, but I need him to say it.

"Was that okay?"

"I'm so relieved," he confesses softly. "I won't have to worry about him again. Can you track him? Just to keep tabs on him and know where he is?" I nod and in response, I'm gifted even more kisses.

Our kisses quickly fill with heat. Zander rearranges, getting onto his hands and knees. I'm so used to making love face to face. Seeing the bite marks left behind fills me with unease, but I push that away, determined to make Zander feel good as I make him my mate once and for all.

"Please," Zander whispers, pushing his hips up into the air. "Fuck me, Ronny."

I grip Zander's hip with one hand, my other guiding my cock to his hole. His whimper makes a shiver run down my spine as the head of my dick catches on his rim. Fuck, he's so wet and so warm.

Matching groans leave us as my cock finally enters Zander. I push forward, going achingly slow until my hips are pressed against his ass.

"Fuck," I gasp out, just savoring the feeling of Zander so warm and tight around me.

"Come on," Zander whines, reaching back and slapping my hip. "Fuck me, Ronny. Don't hold back."

I lean forward, plastering my chest against his back as I fuck him. Gods, he feels so fucking good. I mouth along his shoulder, loving each and every sound he makes. I'm addicted to making him feel good.

"I'm so close," he says, leaning his face against his pillows. "Come with me, Ronny. Come inside me. Fuck! I want you to bite me."

My cock throbs inside of Zander's ass as I fuck him. I kiss the back of his neck. Right here. This is the spot. I'm not sure if I have some inner instinct I'm channeling or if I'm completely off course but as pleasure crashes over me like waves, I bite Zander. My teeth clamp onto the back of his neck and I bite down as hard as I can.

Mate. Mine. Zander. Us. Mine. Mate.

A whimper escapes my throat as I taste blood. I let go, looking down with wide eyes as I see a bloody bite on the back of Zander's neck.

Zander's ass clamps down around my cock as he's overcome with pleasure. Fuck. Another shiver wracks through my body. I carefully pull out and readjust us until I'm on my back and he's in my lap.

"Want you to come and bite me too," I murmur, planting my feet on the bed so I have leverage to thrust up into Zander's body. I've already come but the adrenaline of mating has apparently helped me stay hard a little longer than usual.

Zander nods, wrapping his hand around his cock and stroking himself as he leans down and plants a kiss against my shoulder. There's a moment where I wait in suspense. And the next Zander is moaning before pain lances through my shoulder.

"Gods! Fuck!"

Our mating becomes cemented in that moment. I can feel him. I can sense that he's my mate, that he's mine. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before.

"Mine," I whisper, tucking Zander against my chest and peppering kisses into his hair. "You're mine."

"I'm yours and you're mine," he says back with a wide smile. We kiss and I wrinkle my nose. Now that everything is said and done, it's kinda gross that I can taste our blood on our tongues like this.

"Let me go grab supplies to clean us up and then I promise you can have all the kisses you want."

Zander giggles, nodding his head and slapping my butt as I walk away. If this is what I look forward to for the rest of my life, then gods, I am one lucky man.
