Chapter 12

Desire exploded between them, a white-hot burst of need that sent a shockwave through Rael”s entire body. Despite the heat of the cave, Elian”s body trembled in his arms. He hesitated for just a moment, his lips soft and pliant beneath Rael”s — and then, with a shuddering gasp, he kissed Rael back.

The taste of him was maddening. Rael deepened the kiss, unable to hold back. His tongue swept across Elian”s lips, and with a moan, the human opened to him.

Elian”s mouth was hot and wet, a perfect fit for Rael”s. Despite the heat, the human”s body was cool in his arms, a tantalizing contrast to the fiery desire that coursed through both of them.

In the depths of the kiss, Rael slid his other arm around Elian”s waist and pulled him close. The human”s body molded against his, every lean line and curve of him fitting perfectly against Rael”s own hard muscles.

Desire burned through Rael like a wildfire, a hunger that threatened to consume him. His body roared with need, demanding that he take Elian right then and there, to claim him and make him Rael”s in every way.

But at the same time, an even fiercer instinct — a protective one, a dominant one — filled him with a need to cherish the human in his arms, to give him pleasure and protect him from any hint of pain.

Rael”s head spun with the heady mix of desire and possessiveness, longing and protectiveness. He was a predator and a gentleman, a warrior and a lover, a captor and a man who would give Elian everything he desired.

And from the way the human clung to him, moaning into the depths of the kiss, he knew that Elian wanted everything that Rael had to offer.

Rael”s heart pounded in his chest as he kissed Elian, his body aching with desire. The human”s scent intoxicated him, filling his senses and making him feel alive in a way he hadn”t in years. He could taste Elian”s sweetness on his tongue, and it drove him wild.

As they kissed, Rael”s hands roamed over Elian”s body, exploring every curve and line. He couldn”t get enough of the human”s soft skin, the way it felt beneath his touch.

Elian moaned into the kiss, his body arching against Rael”s. He squirmed beneath him, his hands clenching and unclenching in silent pleas for release. Rael could feel the heat of Elian”s desire, the way his body trembled with need.

”Please,” Elian whispered, his voice hoarse with desire. He held up his bound hands. ”Let me touch you.”

Rael grinned. He took Elian”s bonds and tugged them up, holding the human”s hands above his head. Rael pulled back, his eyes locked on Elian”s. ”Maybe I plan to keep you exactly where I want you.”

Elian protested playfully, his eyes filled with laughter and desire. ”Please, Rael,” he begged.

Rael ignored him, instead focusing on the sensation of Elian”s body against him. He kept Elian”s hands raised, keeping him helpless to resist. Rael nipped at Elian”s throat, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin. Elian dissolved into shivers, his moans filling the air.

Rael”s blood ran hotter at the sound of Elian”s pleasure. He wanted to hear more, to feel more. He bit at Elian”s throat again, harder this time, and Elian cried out, his body arching beneath Rael”s.

Rael”s eyes darkened as he noticed the flush of a bruise starting to form on Elian”s pale skin. The sight of his own mark on his mate sent a jolt of arousal through him.

He couldn”t keep teasing, his self-control crumbling. He untied Elian”s bound hands, but his voice grew gruff as he leaned in to growl in Elian”s ear. ”Next time, I might keep you tied up, so I can have my way with you exactly as I please.”

Elian”s breath hitched, and Rael could see the dark desire flaring in his eyes. The human bit his lip, visibly hard in his pants, and Rael couldn”t resist the temptation any longer. He pressed his body against Elian”s, his hardness grinding against the human”s. Elian groaned, his hips bucking up to meet Rael”s thrusts.

Their movements became desperate, animalistic, as they rutted against each other. Elian”s hands reached down to fumble with Rael”s pants, his fingers trembling with urgency. Rael chuckled, a low, rumbling sound, as he helped Elian tug down his pants.

But then Elian froze, his eyes widening in astonishment. ”Holy shit.”

Rael smirked, a hint of pride in his voice. ”Borraq anatomy really is different from human anatomy, isn”t it?”

Elian”s eyes were glued to the two hard, alien cocks that were now on full display.

When Rael had first seem Elian in the river — well, it had made a sort of sense to him. Humans were smaller and more delicate than Borraq, after all. Of course they had to be different.

Rael guided Elian”s hands down, letting the human feel the unfamiliar forms. Elian”s touch was tentative at first, but as Rael growled in pleasure, the human grew bolder.

”You”re incredible,” Elian whispered, his voice filled with awe and desire. Rael could feel the heat of Elian”s gaze, the way the human”s body trembled with need.

”And you,” Rael growled, his voice thick with desire, ”are mine.”

Rael scooped Elian up into his arms, the human”s surprised yelp echoing through the cave. He carried him over to the bedroll, his muscles barely flexing. Elian playfully protested, squirming in his grasp. ”Hey, I don”t appreciate being manhandled!” he said, but his eyes sparkled with mirth.

Rael chuckled, setting Elian down on the bedroll. He loomed over him, his body pressed against Elian”s. ”Is that so?” he said, his voice low and teasing. He reached down, his hand sliding over Elian”s erection. ”Because it seems to me like you”re enjoying this quite a bit.”

Elian blushed, his cheeks turning a deep shade of pink. He bit his lip, his eyes fluttering shut as Rael”s hand continued to tease him. ”That”s not fair,” he said, his voice breathless.

Rael grinned, leaning down to kiss Elian”s neck. He nipped at the sensitive skin, careful not to scrape it with his sharp teeth. Elian moaned, his body arching up against Rael”s.

It was an invitation if Rael had ever seen one. He stripped Elian bare, pressing their bodies together.

Rael”s cocks were longer, thicker than Elian”s human one. They were a deep, dark color, the skin textured. Elian”s was smooth, the skin delicate and flushed with pink. Rael found the contrast incredibly attractive, the way Elian”s body fit against his own.

He liked being bigger than Elian, liked being able to protect him — and to claim Elian as his own.

He reached down, slotting Elian”s cock between his own two. The sensation was incredible, the heat and friction sending a jolt of pleasure through his body. Elian moaned, his hips bucking up against Rael”s.

”Do you like that?” Rael said, his voice rough with desire.

Elian nodded, his eyes wide and filled with pleasure. ”Mm. Maybe. Keep doing that and we”ll find out.”

Rael grinned, his hips moving in a slow, steady rhythm. He could feel Elian”s body responding to his own, could feel the human”s pleasure building with each passing moment.

He leaned down, capturing Elian”s lips in a searing kiss. The human”s moans filled his mouth, the sound driving him wild with desire.

Rael”s hips moved in a steady rhythm, grinding their cocks together. The sensation of their bodies moving in tandem was intoxicating, sending jolts of pleasure through Rael”s body. Elian gasped and bucked up against him, his body desperate for more.

Soon, Rael”s cocks were beading with precome, thick and slippery. The sight of it made Elian”s eyes widen, his breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. ”That”s a lot,” he panted, his cheeks flushed with desire.

Rael didn”t know how much humans made — or if they made any at all — but the look of surprise on Elian”s flushed face clearly meant that his surprise was a good thing.

Rael smirked, a sense of pride filling him. ”Borraq do everything better than humans,” he said, his voice low and teasing.

Elian blushed, his eyes sparkling with mischief. ”Prove it.”

Rael”s heart raced at the blatant invitation, his blood running hot with desire. He growled, his hands moving to grab Elian”s knees and pull them up over his shoulders. The human”s body was pliant in his grasp, his eyes wide and filled with desire.

Rael slicked up his fingers with his thick, slick precome, his eyes dark with desire. ”I”m going to make you feel so good,” he said, his voice low and rough.

Rael”s body was a coiled spring of desire, his two cocks throbbing with need. He could smell Elian”s arousal, could see the way the human”s body trembled with anticipation.

But Elian hesitated.

Rael narrowed his eyes. ”What”s wrong?”

Elian”s cheeks flushed a deep pink. ”I... I can”t take both of them,” he stammered.

Rael couldn”t help but laugh. ”I wasn”t expecting a delicate little thing like you to take both,” he said, leaning in to kiss Elian.

”I”m not delicate—” Elian tried to protest, but Rael cut him off. He pressed a finger into Elian”s hole, sliding inside him. The human gasped, his body tensing around Rael”s finger.

”Repeat yourself,” Rael said smugly, sliding another finger into Elian. He stretched the human, making Elian”s thighs tremble.

Elian tried to act like he wasn”t affected by Rael, tried to keep his voice steady. ”I-I”m not… not…” But as Rael fingered him faster, Elian”s voice stuttered and his breath came faster and faster.

Rael admired the pink flush that spread from Elian”s face down his throat to his chest. He could feel his primal mating instincts taking over, his body wanting to claim his mate.

Rael savored the sight of Elian writhing beneath him, the human”s body flushed with desire and need. He slid a third finger into Elian, relishing the tight heat that enveloped his digits.

He leaned down, capturing one of Elian”s hard nipples in his mouth, licking and sucking until the human was groaning and bucking against him. Elian rode his hand, taking everything that Rael had to give him.

”You like that, don”t you?” Rael murmured against Elian”s skin, his voice low and rough with desire.

Elian let out a shaky breath, his eyes fluttering open to meet Rael”s gaze. ”Y-yeah,” he stammered, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Rael grinned, a wicked glint in his eyes. ”Good,” he growled, pulling his fingers out of Elian”s hole. He pressed the head of one of his cocks against Elian”s slick hole, just barely holding back from sliding inside him.

Elian gasped, his body tensing at the sudden blunt pressure. ”R-Rael,” he panted, his fingers digging into the alien”s golden skin.

”Last chance, Elian,” Rael said, his voice strained as he held himself back from plunging into the human”s warmth. ”Tell me to stop now, or I won”t be able to.”

Elian bit his lip, his eyes flicking between Rael”s face and the spot where their bodies were joined. ”I don”t want you to stop,” he whispered, his voice barely audible.

Rael”s breath hitched, and he lost control.

He slowly slid his cock into Elian”s welcoming heat. The human felt incredible, a tight velvet glove gripping him with a warmth that sent waves of pleasure coursing through his veins. His instincts roared in approval, the alpha in him rejoicing at the feeling of claiming his mate.

Elian”s gasps filled the air, only spurring him on. It took every ounce of willpower Rael possessed not to slam into Elian, to bury himself completely in the human”s tight heat. His grip tightened on Elian”s hips as he slowly fed his cock into Elian”s hole, his other cock rubbing tantalizingly against Elian”s own.

Rael”s thoughts were a whirlwind of desire and possessiveness. He marveled at the size difference between them, the way Elian”s body seemed so small and fragile beneath his own muscular frame.

Yet the human was anything but fragile. Rael”s eyes darkened as he watched Elian take him in, the sight of their bodies joined together sending a jolt of pure desire through him. He could see the pleasure in Elian”s eyes, the way the human”s pupils dilated with each thrust. It was a heady feeling, one that only served to fuel Rael”s desire.

He leaned down, capturing Elian”s lips in a searing kiss. The human”s moans filled his mouth, the sound driving him wild with desire. He wanted to hear Elian scream his name, wanted to feel the human come apart beneath his touch.

And as he continued to move inside Elian, as he continued to claim the human”s body with his own, he knew that he would have exactly that.

He would make Elian his, in every way possible.

And nothing, not even the war between their species, would stop him.

Rael”s instincts took over, his hips snapping forward as he slammed into Elian”s body. The human moaned, bucking against Rael”s thick cock as he took the alien deep inside him. ”Fuck!” Elian gasped, his eyes wide with pleasure. ”Rael…!”

The sound of his name on his mate”s lips sent a jolt of desire through Rael. He grinned savagely. ”You like that, do you?” Rael growled, reaching between them to grab both his second cock and Elian”s cock in one hand. He began to jerk them both off in time with his thrusts, feeling Elian”s body tense beneath him.

”Oh, god!” Elian gasped, his body writhing beneath Rael”s touch. The sight of Elian”s pleasure, the sound of his gasps and moans, only served to heighten Rael”s own arousal.

Rael slammed into Elian”s body, burying his thick cock deep inside the human”s tight hole. Elian rocked up to meet each thrust, taking Rael deep inside him as if he was born to be Rael”s mate. The sight of Elian, his face twisted in pleasure, his body slick with sweat, was almost too much for Rael to bear.

Rael”s fist tightened around Elian”s cock and his own other cock, jerking them both off harder and faster as he continued to thrust deeper into Elian. The delicious scent of Elian”s arousal filled the air, driving Rael wild with desire. He could feel Elian”s body tightening around him, the human”s muscles clenching as he neared the edge.

Elian”s gasps and whines filled Rael”s ears, the sound sending a jolt of pleasure through his body. He could feel his own release building, his cocks throbbing with need. He snarled, his hips snapping forward as he slammed into Elian.

Elian cried out, his body arching up against Rael”s, on the verge — and then he came with a cry. The sight of Elian”s face, twisted in pleasure, was almost too much for Rael to bear. He could see the way Elian”s eyes fluttered shut, the way his lips parted in a silent cry.

It was a sight that Rael knew he would never forget.

Elian”s body tightened around Rael”s cock, the human”s muscles clenching as he came. Rael snarled, his hips snapping forward as he slammed into Elian one final time. He could feel his own release building, his cocks throbbing with need.

”Rael— god, Rael—”” Elian panted.

The sound of his name was enough to send him over the edge. His hands gripping Elian”s hips tight, Rael buried himself deep inside. With a roar, he came, one cock marking Elian”s stomach with his come, the other filling him.

And as he felt Elian filling with his seed, he knew that he had found his mate.

A feeling of deep primal satisfaction washed over Rael. He could feel the warmth of his release, the way it filled Elian. It was a feeling that sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, a feeling that only served to heighten his own satisfaction.

Rael leaned down, capturing Elian”s lips in a searing kiss. He could taste the salt of Elian”s sweat, smell the sweetness of his scent. As he pulled away, Rael could see the way Elian”s eyes fluttered open, the way the human”s chest heaved with each breath. He could see the way Elian”s body trembled, the way the human”s muscles clenched around him. It was a sight that filled Rael with a sense of pride, a sense of possession.

And as he looked down at Elian, as he saw the way the human”s eyes sparkled with pleasure, Rael knew that he had made the right choice. He had found his mate, and he would never let him go.

Even if that meant fighting the world.
