Chapter 12

After hearing what had happened earlier, Alvin wasn't surprised when he received a message from a number he didn't know.

I'm going to be late.

Knowing it was Eli, Alvin responded. I heard. Don't worry about it. We can arrange this for another week. What was one more week compared to the past several weeks? He could manage another week.

He didn't get another message, but he wasn't surprised about that either. The attack had left them scrambling and searching for answers. How could the creatures have gotten so close without detection? He knew they would be wondering the same thing, and Sax had mentioned some scientist who had arrived and saying he was the one who had created them.

Could that be why they had turned up? To kill the scientist? Alvin made sure the house was locked up and then pushed a chair against both the back and front doors. Scared, his body trembling, his breath short. What would happen to them if they took security out? What would happen to Eli? Alvin couldn't lose him now. They were finally making something of their mating.

Going through his normal bedtime routine helped to calm him somewhat, but once the kids were in bed asleep, his mind went into overdrive. He paced the living room floor, his arms wrapped around his waist, his mind going a million miles an hour.

Sax had told him they'd all been in a meeting, Salutem and Morefield, and with one of those things dead, the doctors had all come together to autopsy it and do all their forensic stuff. The scientist was questioned or was being questioned. Alvin wasn't sure. Sax's messages had come through in a rush, and he wasn't sure Sax had even thought out what he was sending because some of them made no sense at all.

In twenty-four hours, everything had been turned on its head, or so it seemed. What did he know? He was just a resident of Morefield Village and knew about as much as everyone else. Maybe slightly more thanks to Sax, who was passing him information he shouldn't be. His body trembled, skin pebbling, and Alvin rushed around the house, rechecking the locks and chairs. As he reached the front door, there was a soft knock that had him crying out, then slapping a hand over his mouth.

"It's me."

Alvin sagged and moved the chair, unlocked the door, and opened it. Eli stood there, and Alvin rushed to him, falling into his open arms. "I was so scared."

"I know. I'm sorry. I came as soon as I could." Eli guided Alvin inside and shut the door, then locked it. He saw the chair and nodded. "Good idea."

"I didn't know what else to do." He let Eli lead him to the sofa and curled up on his lap when Eli sat. "Were you hurt?"

"No. We were lucky, but this situation is escalating. They came here during daylight. Walked right in like they owned the place." Eli's arms tightened around Alvin, and he rubbed his hands over them. "I need you."

Alvin understood what Eli meant and nodded. Standing, he held out his hand, and Eli took it. Alvin never said a word, but lead Eli upstairs into his bedroom and closed the door. "I…"

"I didn't want our first time to be within hearing distance of the kids, but I couldn't stay away." Eli closed the distance between them and took Alvin's face in his hands. "I'll make it up to you."

"There is nothing for you to make up for. Just kiss me. Make me forget."

Eli kissed him, and Alvin leaned into him. When Eli picked him up and carried him to the bed, Alvin's body tightened with need. He had to touch, to taste, his mate. Eli kicked his sneakers off then lay on the bed, and moved so Alvin was on top. They pulled at each other's clothes, taking them off until, eventually, they were naked. Skin against skin, their bodies slid together as sweat covered them, causing them both to moan.

All that skin was visible to Alvin: the dark hair across his chest that trailed down to his groin, the definition in his body, the muscles on show, larger than his own, but showing Alvin that he lay with a man, his mate. The one man meant for him.

Moving down, Alvin stared at Eli's dick, long and hard, curving to the left with precome dripping from the slit. This was the first time Alvin had been up close to Eli's dick, and he knew at some point he'd have it in his mouth and ass. The thought didn't worry him, even though Eli wasn't a small man. Eli wasn't as thick as Alvin, but he was definitely longer, and Alvin knew he would feel him when he slid inside. He wanted that. Wanted to feel Eli all over and in him.

His fingers traced over Eli's skin, watching goosebumps appear in their wake, and Alvin didn't know what to do or where to begin. Overwhelmed by the enormity of the moment, he simply stared.

"I don't…"

"Shhh. I've got you."

Eli sat up, tangling his hands in Alvin's short hair, and brought their lips together, lying back down and pulling Alvin with him. Alvin went willingly, shivering when Eli's palms slid down his back, cupping his ass, then gripping the firm cheeks.

Groaning, Alvin rolled them so Eli was on top, and he could stare up into his silver eyes, seeing the blown pupils and the flush that covered his cheeks. He lifted his hand and traced his fingertips over Eli's face, feeling the ever-present stubble, and Eli turned his head to place a kiss in the palm of his hand.

Suddenly, Eli grinned and dropped a quick kiss to his lips, then moved down his body. He stopped at his neck, sucking up a mark and biting the flesh there, and Alvin groaned, his hips jerking up. Fuck, he wanted Eli to bite him.

Eli moved farther down, and when he reached Alvin's nipples, Alvin's body tensed in anticipation of what he would do. Eli didn't disappoint. He licked across one, flicking the hard nub with his tongue. Alvin gasped, his body jerking in reaction, and when Eli sucked the nipple into his mouth, he groaned loudly, his fingers stroking over Eli's head, holding him to his chest.

Eli sucked and bit Alvin's nipple until it was red, and then he moved onto Alvin's other one, giving it the same treatment. Alvin's dick was hard, precome sliding down the shaft, and he was desperate for Eli to touch it, to lick and suck it, but he could wait.

When Eli finally moved from Alvin's nipples, they were a deep red, hard and sensitive. He moved down Alvin's body, licking the skin, sucking the flesh, biting it gently, leaving his mark, and Alvin knew he'd wear them with pride. His mate was marking him, and Alvin would see them every time he was naked.

Alvin jerked every time, his body shuddering at the onslaught of sensations of pleasure. He'd heard that sex between mates was the most amazing experience, but to actually feel it? It was like his body had been made for Eli and Eli alone, and he knew exactly how to touch and kiss and caress it to make Alvin's body come alive.

When Eli finally made it down to Alvin's dick, he glanced up at him through his thick, dark lashes, kissed the head, then moved to the side, licking across to his hip, and ignoring it completely. Alvin groaned in frustration, clenching the sheets in his hands, and begged, "Please, Eli."

He heard Eli chuckle as he moved farther down, pushing Alvin's legs up and out. He licked across his balls, and Alvin cried out and grabbed the back of his thighs in his hands, opening himself up farther for Eli to explore, touch, and kiss.

Suddenly, wet heat encased one of his balls, and he was certain he was going to come. They pulled up so tight to his body that Alvin knew it wouldn't take much. So close and all Eli had done was touch him.

Eli must have sensed this because his finger traced down his crease, and he gently rubbed the skin between his balls and his hole. Eli moved to his other ball, sucking it into his mouth and lavishing it with attention while his fingers circled the outside of Alvin's hole, teasing it, but not quite touching it.

More sweat broke out over Alvin's skin, and heat flushed through him, causing him to shiver with need. He needed to come. He was so close, but Eli seemed content to keep him right on the edge and not let him fall over into sweet oblivion.

"Please," he begged again, his voice hoarse with lust, and this time, Eli took pity on him.

He lunged up, sucking the head of his dick into his mouth, and Alvin came, arching back, body bowed with the intensity of his orgasm. He shot into Eli's mouth, and he knew words fell from his mouth, but couldn't recall what he said.

When he finally fell back onto the bed, he lay gasping, his skin hot and flushed. Eli moved back down and licked his hole, moaning. "You taste good, Alvin. Can't wait to fuck you with my tongue."

Alvin whimpered, his body shuddering. He'd never had it done to him and hadn't been sure how he'd feel about it, but every time Eli's tongue slid over his hole, he wanted more. He just wasn't sure if he could take more.

The tip of Eli's tongue circled his hole, smoothing over the wrinkled flesh. He moved back up to Alvin's balls, licking between them and up his half hard shaft, then moved back down to circle his hole again. Eli was teasing him, teasing him with what was to come, and Alvin's body tensed, waiting for that moment when Eli's tongue pushed deep inside.

Eli's tongue flicked across his hole, then circled, then licked, and Alvin moaned with every single touch. Indescribable pleasure centered on that one small part of his body, and his legs shook where he held them in the air.

After god only knows how long, the tip of Eli's tongue pushed into his hole, then withdrew. It circled him again, licking and sucking on the flesh before pushing back in and wriggling a little. Alvin felt Eli's hands push his legs farther apart, and he suddenly realized how exposed he was, how much of his body Eli could see, but he didn't care. Eli was making him feel sensations he had never felt before, and he wanted it to go on and on, and never stop. This was his mate, his other half, and Alvin wanted him to see everything.

Eli's tongue was now sliding in and out, still just the tip, but enough for Alvin to feel it and moan with every slide. "Love fucking you with my tongue." Alvin tensed again, waiting for Eli, and suddenly his tongue slid all the way in. "Fuck!" Alvin cried out.

Eli fucked him with his tongue, moving it in and out, and Alvin felt the muscles in his ass stretch to accommodate. Eli kept fucking him with it, and then suddenly something else touched him and slid in.

"It's just a finger, nothing more until you're ready," Eli assured him, and Alvin released the breath he hadn't been aware he was holding. As his finger moved in and out, Eli still licked around it, kissing and sucking and marking him until suddenly, a second finger slid in.

Alvin tensed, and Eli stopped, pausing to give him a chance to relax around his fingers, and then he moved them until they found what Eli was looking for, and he rubbed it, hard. Alvin's hips shot off the bed, and he cried out, squeezing his eyes shut, bliss flowing from his hole up through his body. "Oh my god," he cried out, his hips humping the air.

God, he'd read about it and had wondered what it would feel like, but nothing came close to the sensations having it caressed. Lost in the sensation that Eli was triggering within him, Alvin was unaware that a third finger had been pushed in until Eli moved up, kissing his belly and murmuring against his skin, "Three fingers now."

Alvin grunted in surprise. "Three?"

"Are you ready for me?"

Alvin looked up into Eli's eyes and slowly nodded. Eli continued to stare down at him, then kissed him softly. Eli sat up and grabbed the lube Alvin hadn't even noticed and coated his dick with it, then rubbed some around Alvin's hole, his fingers pushing it in, and Alvin held his breath when Eli moved between his legs. This was it. This was the moment Alvin had been waiting for.

He felt the spongy head of Eli's cock press against his hole and push in steadily until the head popped through. Eli paused, watching his face, and Alvin grunted at the sting. "Breathe, Alvin."

Eli didn't take his eyes from Alvin, watching him as he pushed in, not stopping until his balls touched Alvin's ass. He held still, waiting for Alvin to adjust. When Alvin relaxed, he nodded at Eli, and Eli said, "I'm gonna fuck you now."
