Chapter Seventeen Andy

Thankfully I'd jammed a blanket into my backpack. The night was cold after running and playing in the water. By the time we were tired out and had shifted back into our human forms, we were damn near shivering to death. However, neither of us was ready to go home, especially Josh. To my surprise, he seemed freer than I'd ever seen him before. Some sort of weight had lifted from his shoulders. I wasn't sure if it was the playing, something I'd said, or maybe just a sudden realization, but I was happy to see him looking a bit lighter for once.

So, with our bodies pressed close, we wrapped the large blanket around our shoulders and watched the eastern sky lighten as day drew nearer. Neither of us had slept because, unbeknownst to us, we'd played the entire night away. And yet, we couldn't force ourselves to leave. The prospect of watching the sun rise over the lake was far too romantic of a notion for me to give up. And Josh didn't seem to mind. In fact, I had a feeling he was looking forward to it.

We didn't have to talk as the gray of early morning shifted into pink. Both of us were content just to be in one another's arms. His skin felt so comforting against mine and the touch of his fingers made my heart skip a beat. I could've stayed like that forever, with my his arm around my waist and my head on his shoulder. My life had never been more perfect.

"Look at that!" Josh suddenly said, leaning forward.

I lifted my head just as the horizon turned green before giving way to the warm orange of the sun. I couldn't help but smile.

"What the hell was that?" Josh asked excitedly. "Is it like aliens or something? The northern lights?"

I shook my head. "That was the green flash. It's pretty rare."

"I've never heard of that… or seen it before."

"There are some people that it's a sign."

"A sign of what?"

I looked up at him. "Old wives tales claim that anyone who sees the green flash will never again go wrong in matters of the heart." I put my head back on his shoulder. "It's a nice thought, isn't it?"

Josh didn't reply. Instead, he placed his kissed the top of my head and pulled me in close. Together we watched the sun rise over Lake Huron, filling the sky with pinks and golds before it slowly turned to blue.

"We should probably get going," I said at last. "They're gonna open the park soon and sneaking out naked in the daylight is much harder to do."

Josh nodded and together we packed up what little we'd brought. As we hiked back through the woods, he took my hand of his own accord, lacing our fingers together. The butterflies in my stomach erupted and I did everything I could not to smile like an idiot the entire way. Those little moments of affection were what I lived for. And they meant so much more when they came from Josh. He might not be ready to call me his mate, but I knew he was mine. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. It's what he had to be. There was no way I could feel this way without that kind of connection.

I just wondered how I'd ever find the words to tell him.

Thankfully, the rangers hadn't yet opened the park, so we were able to slip into my van without being seen and pull out clothes back on. Heading back toward town, I figured Josh would want to go back to the hotel to clean up. Neither of us were meant to start work for a couple more hours, so we could at least sneak in a tiny nap before the long day ahead.

But when we got to the appropriate intersection, Josh reached a hand over and placed it on my thigh.

"Take me back to the bakery," he said, his voice shaking. "I… left something there."

"No problem."

So, I took the opposite turn instead. Amarok Cafe was already opened when we arrived thanks to my barista. I parked around back so we could take the stairs up to my apartment. After all, we were covered in sand and lake water, so it probably wasn't the best idea to go through the kitchen. Josh followed me up silently, acting a bit more nervous than he had been all night. Once we were inside, I turned back to him.

"What did you forget?" I asked.

"Uh… I…" He let out a long sigh. "I didn't forget anything."

I gave him a quizzical look. "Okay…"

"I… I needed to tell you something."

"Alright."

"I…" He paused taking a deep breath. "I really like you, Andy. And not as a friend. I don't really understand how it happened or why but I like you." He closed the distance between us, his hands on either side of my face. "I want to go all the way with you. If… If that's okay…"

The burst of adrenaline in my chest nearly caused me to pass out. I wanted to shout, cry, and jump for joy all at the same time. But I also didn't want to scare him off with an over the top reaction. Instead, I forced my elation down and just gave him a small smile.

"I would love that." Giving him a soft kiss, I reached down and took his hand. "Let's rinse off first though, okay?"

"R-Right!"

His cheeks were intensely red, which was adorable. I led him to the bathroom, the pair of us stripping off our clothing in silence. Flipping on the shower, I gave him a grin and pulled him inside. The heat of the water washed over me, but nothing could compare to the heat and electricity I felt between us. Leaning back against the cold tiled wall, I pulled Josh against me, our already hard cocks grinding against one another as he slipped his tongue into my mouth.

I could feel the passion in Josh's movements as he kissed me harder than I'd ever been kissed. There was something new in his intensity, a sort of confidence he didn't have before. I was used to him being lustful, but with an edge of cautiousness. It was like he was afraid to like it too much. But that was gone now. He kissed me hard and deep, the way a mate lays claim to a lover. Maybe I was just letting my imagination get the better of me, but something had definitely changed.

More than anything I wanted to get on my knees and take his throbbing cock into my mouth right there on the shower floor. However, I resisted. Just the heat and passion between us was enough to drive me crazy. That combined with our wet cocks grinding against one another already had me seeing stars. But I wasn't going to cum yet. Not before the main event.

The shower didn't last long, but the sand and lake water was gone. Stepping out, I grabbed a towel from the rack and handed it to Josh. I turned to grab on for myself, but felt the plush cotton against my back.

He was drying me off.

It was such an intimate gesture. My skin broke out in goosebumps, but I pulled my hand away from the towel rack, allowing him to continue. He took special care, drying each part of my body with a gentle touch and leaving kisses in his wake. He worked his way down my back, arms, over my ass, and my legs. There was even special attention paid to my cock, the touch of the towel making me shiver with anticipation.

When he was done, he dried himself quickly, took my hand, and led me into the bedroom. There he gently pushed me onto the bed, crawling on top of me and kissing me once more. His eyes were already Alpha gold as he stared down at me. I couldn't help the rosy hue in my cheeks, fully aware from the intensity of his scent that he meant to breed me. To mark me as his own.

"Mine," I heard him whisper, his lips trailing across my neck.

I nodded, baring more of my throat to him. "I'm yours."

He kissed me again. "All mine."

Reaching over to my bedside table, I pulled the drawer open. Inside was a bottle of lube which dropped on the bed next to us while my tongue danced with his. He took notice, but didn't rush the moment. In fact, I was so lost in his touch that I didn't know he'd moved it until a few seconds later when I heard the cap pop. Even then, I nearly cried out as his fingers, slick with lube, found my hole at last.

"Oh fuck…" I moaned into his mouth.

Josh's fingers danced over my entrance, smearing the lube across the surface. I thought he'd stop there, but curiosity got the better of him. A finger pressed against my aching ring, increasing the pressure slowly. I moaned louder against his lips as he slipped inside, my entire body shaking under his touch.

It had been a long time.

Grabbing the back of his neck, I forced his lips harder against mine as his finger slipped deeper inside me. My hips rocked of their own accord, my body hungry for more. In a matter of seconds he was down to the knuckle, the pad of his fingers resting flush against my prostate.

"Right there," I muttered against his lips.

He pressed harder and I let out one of the sluttiest sounds I'd ever made. Josh's eyes went wide, a growl of satisfaction echoed from his chest, and he pushed harder. I could barely stop myself from riding his finger.

And then he slipped another inside.

If I hadn't been on the edge before, I was now. But still I wasn't ready to cum. I wanted everything.

"Please," I begged against his lips as he milked my sweet spot. "Please fuck me…"

Those gold eyes fixed on me as he pulled away. He leaned back, grabbing my thighs and pulling me closer. The lubed hand he'd used to finger me went to his cock, getting it nice and slick.

"Do… Do you want me to turn over?" I asked, thinking that it might be easier for his first time not to see a rock hard cock between my legs while he fucked me.

He shook his head. "I want to see you," he replied. "I want to look into your eyes as I breed you. As I make you mine."

Fuck… I'd never been so fucking turned on in my life.

He adjusted me so that my ankles were over his shoulders. Leaning forward, I felt the head of his cock press firmly against my hole. Thanks to his prep, I opened up easily to him, my body relaxing to accommodate his impressive girth. I let out a whining groan as his ridge slipped past my ring with a small pop. I felt a rush of endorphins realizing he was finally inside of me, the thing I'd been dreaming about since the first day I saw him.

Josh leaned down, pressing his lips to mine as his cock slipped deeper and deeper inside me. I moaned against his lips as he slid to the hilt, his heavy balls drawn tight against my ass. The feeling of having him inside me was so intense, I could scarcely breathe. I'd never taken such a large cock before. But I loved it. His rod pulsed gently against my prostate causing my own cock to leak pre-cum onto my belly. Already I could feel it running down my side and seeping into the comforter.

I lifted my legs, wrapping them around Josh's lower back, grinding my ass against him to get every last inch. He responded by rocking his hips, taking my breath away with each stroke. I arched my back, my lips coming away from his at last. My moans filled the room without care. I'd had the ceiling of the shop soundproofed for a reason.

Josh straightened up, wrapping his arms around my thighs to give himself a better hold. At this angle his cockhead ground against my sweet spot with every thrust. The sensation was like fireworks in my body, disrupting my thoughts so much that I could even think. I was nothing but lust in that moment, my need for cock and cum trumping everything else.

Already I could feel my body tensing, a familiar warmth filling my belly. I wasn't going to last long. A quick glance up at Josh told me he wasn't going to either. Even though he was going slow, my tight hole was milking him for everything he had. It looked like he was just barely holding on.

"Do it," I said, reaching down and taking my sensitive cock in my hand with a moan. "Breed me, please."

Josh locked his golden eyes with mine and gave a nod. Picking up his pace at last, he rocked my body with that thick cock of his. My entire nervous system went haywire, my cries filling the room. In a matter of seconds I was lost in sheer ecstasy with Josh's balls slapping against my ass.

"Oh fuck…" Josh growled. "I'm gonna cum!"

With a cry, he slammed his cock as deep as it would go, the thick rod pulsing wildly. Heat filled my belly as he came. The sensation pushed me over the edge. Even though I was barely touching myself, I came so hard that the first shot went clean over my head. The second striped my face, but I barely noticed. Wave after wave of pleasure crashed over me, driving out all other sensation or thought. Stars burst in my vision and I was completely lost in the intensity of the moment.

The feeling of lips against mine pulled me back to reality. Josh had collapsed on top of me, his cock still wedged deep inside me. He kissed me until he went soft enough to pull out. There was a rush of cum that followed, the hot sticky liquid running down my ass. I didn't know something so simple could be so fucking hot.

He pulled away from me at last, falling onto the bed beside me. Both of us took a moment to recover and tried to catch our breaths. I wasn't sure how long we'd been going at it, but it felt like I'd run a marathon with a baseball bat in my ass.

"Fuck…" I sighed at last. "That was hot as hell."

"You're so tight," Josh laughed. "I couldn't last."

"A few more sessions with you and I'll loosen up a little bit. I'm gonna have to if I want to keep taking that giant hog of yours." I paused, turning over to look at him. "You… You're okay, right?"

"I'm fucking great," he replied without missing a beat. "That was the best sex I've ever had."

"Same."

"Hey Andy?"

"Yeah?"

"I know you felt it too but… would you be happy being my mate?" He looked over at me, his brown eyes full of worry. "I know I'm a fucking mess…"

I held a finger to his lips, silencing him. "I have always wanted to be your mate," I replied. "Since the moment I met you."

"Really?"

I nodded. "And you just sort of marked me… so…"

"I guess it's official then," he smiled. And it wasn't just any smile, it was a real smile. The first one I'd ever seen him put on. "You're my mate." He kissed me again. "All mine."
