Chapter 8

Aydan

My thoughts were going a direction I couldn't control. I was headed at warp speed toward a bad decision, and I had no intention of hitting the brakes. Jayce was nothing like what I expected him to be while at the same time being exactly like it, and it was making my head spin and my dick ask to be part of the conversation.

If Jayce gave me any indication that he was interested in a fling, then I was going to be hard pressed to say no. Actually, that was a lie. I'd jump at the opportunity without a second's thought. When it came to Jayce, I seemed to let all logic go out the window.

It was more than just him being sexy as fuck, which he was. He had a way of breaking through the walls I had up, the ones that kept me focused, and as bad as that was—it was also freaking amazing. Maybe letting him stay here was a bad idea.

We were inside my house, standing just inside the backdoor and were still naked. I'd seen the entire den naked. It was no big deal. We were shifters, it came with the nudity, it was no big deal. Only that wasn't the case with Jayce. I wanted to lick him from head to toe despite his scent.

Part of me wanted to dig deeper, to have him let me know what really happened with the skunk. But then there was the self-preservation side of myself that half thought it might've been a lover's spat or one-night stand gone wrong and no part of me wanted to hear that. It was for sure a case of ignorance being bliss. Probably.

"I should go to bed," Jayce said. "Maybe shower first."

Ah. So he wasn't going to make a move. A wave of disappointment wafted through me. Reality was, it was probably for the best. He was my brother's best friend and a new den member. I couldn't cross that boundary and expect it not to blow up in my face.

But there were other things I wanted to explode in my face and on my chest and down my throat. This was definitely an issue, a big one. I needed to shut these thoughts down and walk away. Only thing was, I couldn't.

I thought or maybe hoped that he'd walk away, go down the hall to the bathroom and shower, then go to bed. That would make it easy. Out of sight and all of that. Only he hesitated at first and then… then he stepped closer to me. His eyes roved down my body. When he lifted his hand and trailed his fingertips down my chest, I knew I was done for. His touch seared me in the best of ways.

"I can't scent for shit right now, alpha, but I can see. I'm not wrong, right? You want this?"

I did. I so very much did. But also, it was a bad idea. The worst of ideas. Screw it. I didn't care. Or I did and forgot because all there was now were the two of us and this moment. All logic had fled the building… the den… the county.

"You might be wrong about a lot of things, Jayce, but not about this." Screw it. His cock was filling as quickly as mine was. What harm could come of it?

"We shouldn't though, right? It's a terrible idea." Did he mean it or was he trying to convince himself? I wasn't sure.

"Awful idea. Probably the worst I ever had." I for sure was focused on convincing myself.

"You aren't running away."

I shook my head. My hands went to his hips, and I pulled him closer. I hadn't let myself look, because I was a gentleman, but now I felt his arousal grinding against my own. "I'm not running."

"To the shower then?"

I nodded.

Jayce took a hold of my hand and led me through the house. I didn't let my gaze wander away from him. His creamy skin looked delicious. The perfect round globes of his ass would look perfect with my handprints on them. I wanted to mark him in the worst way.

He seemed to know exactly where he was going. The main bedroom had an ensuite and he took us there.

"You have protection, alpha?"

I nodded and indicated toward the nightstand. My bear didn't like the idea. He wanted nothing between us. But this wasn't about him, and this might be a terrible mistake and I refused to compound it by making another.

Jayce pulled out a condom. "We'll save this for later. Shower first."

"How about we take it to the shower with us?" Would that work? Would friction rule the day? Whatever. I didn't care. Right now, I just needed to feel his body against mine, to explore every inch of him with my hands.

Jayce grinned. "I like the way you think."

The shower took a minute to warm up, and while it did, I had Jayce pinned against the wall as I kissed him deeply. His hands roved over my shoulders, chest, and into my hair. The man was like an octopus rather than a bear. Forgotten was the stink of the skunk, my other senses fully taking over.

When I sucked his neck, he let out a rumble that was all bear. I was doing something right.

I chuckled. "You like that spot, huh?"

"Apparently," he said as if it was a surprise to him.

The steam began to fill the room, so we stepped into the shower. I couldn't keep my hands or mouth off him. I never recalled a time when I'd needed someone this badly. And I couldn't even scent him! I wondered if he smelled as good as he tasted.

"I need you inside me, Aydan. Please. I'm so fucking ready."

I licked just under his ear and then nipped at the skin. He shuddered beneath my touch. His cock jerked against my thigh.

"I haven't even stretched you," I said.

Thankfully, this spacious shower had a built-in ledge where he could rest his foot and give me better access to his hole. On a different day, I'd spread him out on my bed and stretch him with my tongue. But today, my fingers would have to do.

His body opened for me without hesitation. Slick eased the way and within minutes I had three fingers inside his greedy hole. I was on my knees in the shower, my nose buried in his groin.

Jayce was a whimpering mess, his head thrashing against the tile wall. His cock leaked precum, and I swiped at it with my tongue.

"Fuck!" Jayce shouted. "Need you. Need to touch you. Need you inside me. Something. Alpha, please!"

"I do like a polite omega," I teased. Truth was I liked this omega exactly how he came, polite or not.

I stood, towering over him again. His eyes met mine. They were glazed over with desire. I imagined mine looked the same.

"Do you need my cock, omega? Is that what you need?" Because there was nothing more that I wanted than to give it to him.

Jayce nodded frantically.

"I always provide for what's mine," I said. I found the condom on the edge of the shower and slid it down my cock.

"Yes, alpha."

Jayce's hole welcomed my cock as I filled him. A look of total bliss came over his face. The walls of his channel surrounded me, his heat drawing out my release. I slowed. I couldn't come yet, it was too soon. We just started.

Jayce clawed at my back. His hands grasping my ass, my shoulders, anything he could get a hold of, urging me on.

I slammed into him, again and again. Each time feeling better than the one before.

"Fuck, you feel good, Jayce. So fucking good." I inhaled deeply, hoping to draw in his scent, but it wasn't there. I ignored the skunk scent. It didn't matter to me.

Jayce captured my lips. His tongue sliding against mine and the taste of him flooded my senses. At that moment, it was as if I could scent him. My canines dropped, and I had the sudden urge to bite and mark.

I didn't. I couldn't.

Jayce let out a groan and cum shot between us.

Seeing him come undone, pushed me over the edge and I came.

Moments later, when we were rinsed and I had disposed of the condom, Jayce's gaze caught mine.

"It's been a long day, Aydan." Was that a good or bad thing in his eyes?

"It has."

"I'm not tired yet." A good thing, then.

I grinned. "Me neither."

"Great." He left the room, leaving me standing there watching his ass flex as he walked away. It wasn't until he was on the bed, his legs spread as he stroked his cock that he called out to me. "Are you coming?"
