Chapter 7

Frederick

I would kick myself if I didn’t take the opportunity to kiss Dominic when given the chance. I might occasionally do stupid things, but I wasn’t dumb. I could already feel the connection between us when I touched him. When my lips may contact with his for the very first time, it was more than anything I had ever dreamed of.

Tingling vibrations that had been at the tips of my fingers seem to travel through my arms, and directly to my lips where they were touching his. I wanted more though, and when I applied light pressure, Dominic opened his mouth to allow me access. I hadn’t been kidding when I said I was probably a bit rusty when it came to such but it was a lot like learning to control your magic: you simply didn’t forget how to kiss someone.

My tongue pushed out and when it made contact with Dominic, he let out a moan and his body melted into mine. I quickly moved my hands from his jaw, running them down the front of his chest and around to his back so I could hold him more securely.

Dominic’s hands mirrored mine, and when they slid around my waist and up my back, I pulled him tighter to me. I continued to explore his mouth with mine, and when it became apparent that neither of us was going to pull away, I gave in first. Breathing was unfortunately necessary so I broke the kiss.

I took a deep breath and realized that Dominic did the same thing. I returned, hoping I wouldn’t be denied a second kiss. My heart went from racing to aching when Dominic pulled back slightly. Immediately, I dropped my hands from his back and took a step away.

“I apologize,” I told him. “I asked for a kiss, not several.”

“That’s not it,” Dominic said as he pulled me back into his embrace. “I was only going to ask if we were going to continue kissing in the entryway or if you were going to perhaps invite me in?”

I took a quick look at where we were and, remembered that yes, we were still in the entryway of my place. “Do you want to come in?” I asked as I held out my arm and gestured towards the rest of the house “I have wine if you would like another glass or two. Or perhaps coffee?”

Dominic shook his head while grinning. “Neither right now but possibly later. I was really hoping that you would give me a tour,” Dominic said as he gave me a heated look.

Tour. Right. He could probably find his way around the house if he went looking, but why would he? “I’m going to spend the evening apologizing it seems. If you want to follow me, I can show you around the place.”

Dominic nodded slowly as we started to walk away from the front door. When we passed by the stairwell, he stopped me pulling on my arm. I had been headed toward the kitchen and then the back den area, but Dominic started up the stairs, and I quickly caught on what he was wanting. At least, I hoped what he wanted.

I stopped him by gently pulling on his hand. “Are you certain?” I asked when he looked back at me. I wanted to make sure he absolutely wanted this. I knew if we went upstairs to my bedroom, but things would happen and we would end up claiming one another.

“Yes. Like I was seeing earlier, it doesn’t matter if we claim each other now or next month. Either way you and I are going to end up together. I don’t know about you, but I would rather spend my time getting to know you while already being claimed by you.”

He made a valid point. Again, I wasn’t an idiot and I was going to accept the gift that Dominic was giving me. I nodded and as I started up the stairs, Dominic fell into step beside me. There wasn’t a whole lot of room for the two of us to climb them in such close proximity, but we made do.

There were three bedrooms upstairs, and two of them were completely empty. Once we reach the top of the stairs, Dominic looked to me, and I pointed to the door on the left at the end of the hall. “I’m down there,” I said. As we walked, I pointed at the two spare bedrooms. “I never filled these. My family doesn’t really visit so there was no need for furniture in them.” We made it to the end of the hall and I pointed at the door that was directly across from the main bedroom. “That’s the second bathroom up here. I’m not sure why it is that the single enforcer housing has so many bedrooms.”

“I wouldn’t know. I do have a question though.”

I stopped just inside the door to my bedroom and looked at Dominic. “You can always ask me anything. What is your question?”.

“You said second bathroom. Is it all right to use it? I really need to empty my bladder after all of the wine and coffee we had with supper.”

“Of course. You are welcome to use either one. I do have soap and towels in there. If you need more than that, either use magic for what you require or you’re welcome to use the bathroom in here,” I said, indicating the bedroom. There was an ensuite in here, and I didn’t mind if this was the one he used.

“No, I’ll just be a minute,” Dominic said.

I nodded and watched as he disappeared into the bathroom. I went into my bedroom and looked around. This had been my home for the past few months. I wasn’t going to be here much longer, though. I didn’t have any sort of attachment to this particular house, and I wondered if Dominic and I would make amazing memories in the house that we would share together.

I had to think that we would. I knew that my cousins very much enjoyed spending time with their Ones. Granted, Caspian had only just been claimed, but he and Dimitri seemed as if they already had been together for decades.

I was standing in the middle of the room when I heard Dominic enter and come up behind me. “You aren’t having second thoughts, are you?”

“Absolutely not. You are willing to give me a chance and there is no way I am going to throw that away.”

Dominic smiled at me, and when he tilted his hand towards the bed, I grinned back.

“So tell me,” Dominic said as he tugged on the waist of my pants, pulling me toward the bed with him. “If you were rusty with kissing, does that mean you’re equally out of practice in fucking?”

I couldn’t help it; I threw my head back and laughed. Things were a bit awkward, and Dominic was trying his best to lighten the situation. Once I had myself under control, I gave Dominic a serious look.

“Probably. Forgive me if I don’t last nearly long enough. I promise I’m good for more than one round though.” I would be. Well, at least I used to be. I couldn’t see that having changed any in the past several years. It wasn’t as if I never got off. I just didn’t happen to do it with a partner. I couldn’t see this as being completely terrible for either of us.

“Trust me, I am not at all worried about how long either of us last. He’s not here in the beginning. From what I understand, even alphas will struggle with stamina when it comes to their mates.”

I wasn’t an alpha, and honestly I was all right with that. I hoped I was going to fill the sire role, and we were about to discover that for certain or not here just as soon as we got our act together and our clothes off.

“Well, as long as you know what to expect this first time, I think you are overdressed.”

Dominic’s already dark eyes seem to darken further. “Am I now?” He raised a hand and snapped his fingers. When he did, he was suddenly naked. I will admit that I took a moment to stand there and stare at his gorgeous body. “I do believe you are now the one who is overdressed.”

Dominic took a step back and then another. I watched as he confidently moved backward until he reached the bed. He didn’t stop there though. He sat down, and then scooted to the center of the bed.

“Are you going to join me? You’re still fully dressed, and although I’m not shy, I am starting to feel as if you’re not interested in what I have to offer.”

That absolutely was the last thing I wanted him to think so I started walking toward the bed. My clothes disappeared as I went, and by the time I placed a knee on the bed to crawl on and join him, Dominic’s body was certainly ready for some action. Not that mine wasn’t. I had been hard since we started walking up the stairs.

“I take that back. You certainly seem interested.”

I chucked as I crawled up the bed toward Dominic. “I’d be a fool to not be interested in someone even half as sexy as you are. I was certainly blessed when you were gifted to me as my One.”

I didn’t stop once I reached Dominic. I simply spread out and laid half on top of him. His skin was warm and smooth, and felt amazing against mine. “Weren’t you saying earlier that you weren’t a fool?”

I grinned. “Exactly.” I leaned in and when our lips touched once more, I wasn’t nearly as hesitant as I’d been earlier during our first kiss. No, this time I kissed Dominic with more passion and possession than I had earlier.

He moaned before he threw his leg over my hip the same moment he rotated his body and lined ours up with each other. I groaned when I felt his cock slide alongside mine. I rolled my hips, earning another moan from Dominic while my tongue dueled with his for control of the kiss. I didn’t mind who had control of what, just so long as neither of us stopped. It felt amazing, and I didn’t think anything would ever be able to top it.

Dominic grabbed my ass, the movement momentarily surprising me. I broke the kiss, and he took the opportunity to move his mouth to my neck. I closed my eyes and moaned. I felt myself moving, and then I was on my back. I looked up into dark eyes and grinned. My One might be a warlock, but it was apparent he was a tiger in bed. I was certainly not going to complain.

“If I’m too much, just say something.”

I shook my head. “You can have your way with me anytime you want.” I meant it. I wasn’t a passive lover, and it seemed as if Dominic wasn’t either. If he wanted to do the work this time around, I wasn’t going to say no. Especially not when he started kissing down my body.

His tongue flicked out at my nipples, and instinctively I reached for him. My fingers threaded into his hair, but when Dominic moved farther down, I loosened my grip. I would never hold someone in place when they were in that area, and my somewhat quite groan turned to a loud gasp and then moan when Dominic seamlessly lifted my cock and swallowed it to the root.

It took a lot to keep from thrusting up into his hot mouth, but all thought of doing anything other than enjoying what Dominic was doing to my body fled my mind when his hands slid under me and pulled my hips upward.

I bit my lip, trying to do anything I could to keep from giving into my body’s need for release so soon. It was obvious, at least to me, that I was incredibly out of practice with as quickly as my body was ready.

As Dominic sucked up and down my length, I ran my fingers through his hair, and did what I could to reassure him that I was very much enjoying what he was doing. After Dominic pulled my hips up toward him over and over, I got the hint and finally started rocking my hips upward, thrusting my cock in and out of his mouth. Dominic’s loud moan around me, sent vibrations through my body and tingles down to my balls. I gasped when I felt them pull closer to my body.

“Gah, I want to come so badly,” I whispered as I continued to slide my cock in and out of his mouth Dominic moaned; then moaned again when I tightened my grip in his hair just before I snapped my hips a little harder. “Do you like that?” I asked. I was looking down my body, watching my dick disappear into Dominic’s mouth when he looked up and met my gaze.

“Fuck,” I said as I did it again. Dominic didn’t break eye contact with me, and it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen. “I’m going to come soon if we don’t slow down,” I warned.

Dominic moaned and closed his eyes when I said that. A new wave of desire ran through me, causing me to close my eyes and drop it back to the bed. I thrust into Dominic’s mouth three more times before I felt his fingers slide alongside my balls. When the moved down below and then behind, I felt them apply a bit of pressure as he slowly started circling and massaging the space between them and my hole. I fully expected his fingers to travel back there, but they didn’t. Instead, he applied pressure just behind my balls which only increased my pleasure.

“Fuck. Dom…I’m not going to last much longer,” I told him in warning. He didn’t pull off, nor did he stop massaging where he was. Instead, he sucked harder, and applied a bit more pressure. That was all it took for the tingling in my balls to become too much. I felt my toes curl as an orgasm pushed through my body.

Wave after wave of pleasure zinged through me while I filled Dominic’s mouth with cum. He moaned, swallowed, and then moaned again. He continued to suck on my cock, focusing on the head now, and after several seconds, the sensation became too much and I gently pulled on his hair to get him to release me.

I took several deep breaths, trying to calm my racing heart. I needed a moment to get my body to function enough to take care of Dominic, and I was about to tell him as much when I felt him crawling up my body. He straddled my hips, and when I met his eyes, the need in his was obvious.

“Give me…a second. Just…my legs and arms feel like jelly.”

Dominic smirked. “No need. I got this,” he said as he moved a bit higher up my body before reaching behind him. When I felt him place my still-hard cock at his opening and then start to apply pressure, I quickly realized that he was slick.

I looked up at Dominic, but his eyes were closed as he slowly applied more pressure. When I slipped into him, sudden tight, hot heat surrounded my cock and I moaned. I had just come, but my body was ready for more.

Dominic rolled his hips back and forth until he was sitting on me, my cock completely inside his body. Only then did he look at me. There was still need in his eyes, and I wanted to do everything I could to take care of him.

“You feel so tight.”

“It’s been a while,” Dominic said.

“What do you want me to do to take care of you? What do you like most?” I didn’t know yet, but I would learn everything I needed to about pleasuring him soon enough.

“Just let me ride you. That’s all I need. I like hard and fast, so I hope you’re up for it.”

I didn’t get an opportunity to respond before Dominic started rolling his hips on top of me. He placed his hands on my lower stomach to brace himself and then he started grinding; slow at first but quickly building up momentum until his hips were moving so fast I could feel heat from the friction. It was a gorgeous sight, but the sounds coming from him were the most erotic ones I’d ever heard. Dominic’s moans as he found his pleasure from my body was the best sounds.

I reached out and touched his thighs, and then slid my hands in between them, reaching for the engorged cock that was slapping against my stomach. When I wrapped a hand around it, Dominic’s head fell back and he moaned out.

“Yes. Squeeze it a little tighter,” he instructed.

I did as told, and Dominic made another sound, this one long and drawn-out. I felt his body start squeezing my cock and knew he was close to finding his own release. When he started snapping his hips back harder against me, his mouth opened and he started grunting with each thrust.

“Come for me,” I told him when his eyes met mine again. “Claim me as yours,” I added.

Dominic’s eyes looked desperate as his hips sped up, thrusting my cock in and out of his hole while his own moved through my fist. I tightened it a little, and when I used magic and added a little lube, Dominic’s eyes widened for a second before they glazed over. I felt his channel clamp down on my cock the same time his swelled in my hand and then my chest was sprayed with ropes of cum.

Everything combined was enough to throw me over again and when I felt my body fill his with cum, I claimed him with my family’s mark on his left hipbone. A sudden burning sensation on my ribs told me that Dominic was doing the same.

His hips faltered, and then he seemed to struggle to move so I used my free hand to grab his left hip and hold him tightly to me; impaling him on my cock as deep as I could get. When I slid my hand up his back and to his shoulder, I tugged. Dominic laid down on top of me quickly, and then sighed.

I felt our bond start to slip into place while my cock still pulsed inside him and smiled. “Hello my fated One.”

I felt Dominic smile against my chest. “Hello.” He turned his head and kissed my chest before he laid back down again. “Give me a minute and we’re going to do this again. But your favorite position next time.”

I chuckled. “Whatever you want,” I told him. I didn’t know if I had a favorite position. I liked them all, but I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be difficult to develop a favorite with Dominic. I felt his body squeeze my cock as it pulsed one last time and then still.

Somehow, I had my One. He’d forgiven me enough to get us here, now I just needed to make sure I didn’t fuck things up again.
