"Dante... Please..."

He captured Amir's lips in a bruising kiss, simultaneously pummeling harder into him. The rhythm was relentless, insistent, and Amir found himself spiraling toward the precipice again. Then Dante hit something inside that sent a jolt of pleasure through his body. His breath hitched, and he whimpered, his sounds begging Dante to give him relief.

"Amir." Dante's voice came out throaty, strained. He bent forward, his strong hand holding onto Amir’s cock, stroking it in time with his thrusts. "Mine. Allmine.”

Dante’s eyes were screwed shut, his features twisted in an expression of ecstasy as sweat dripped down his face, droplets landing on Amir’s chest. He froze moments before he shuddered, an animalistic growl escaping his lips as he spilled his seed inside Amir.

Tingles built at the base of his spine, Dante jacked him off harder, brushing his thumb along the head of Amir’s hard dick. The moment Dante pressed his thumbnail into the slit, Amir cried out, coming again. He rode the magnificent waves of pleasure until he went limp against the dampened sheets. He didn’t know how, but Dante had managed to wrest another orgasm from him.

Dante didn't withdraw, remaining deep inside Amir as he lowered himself onto his elbows, his ragged breaths hot against the dip in Amir's neck. He used one hand to trace idle patterns across Amir's sweat-soaked skin, each gentle stroke making him shiver beneath the weight of Dante’s muscled body.

Dante didn’t soften, didn’t attempt to pull away. Amir tugged on Dante’s nape and raised his head, silently begging for another kiss while Dante was still inside him. Before their lips could meet, Amir stiffened, his eyes going wide.

“Dante? What’s happening?”

“Don’t be frightened, angel.” Dante nibbled along Amir’s jaw. “This is part of the mating process for us. We’re joined together by my knot, keeping my seed inside you.”

“Oh.” He wished he wasn’t so clueless about what was happening. “I’ve never heard of that before. I’m guessing it’s a gargoyle thing?”

Dante chuckled as he rubbed his nose behind Amir’s ear as if scenting him. “Not just gargoyles, but definitely not a human trait. It gives you a better chance of conceiving.”

He tensed at Dante’s words.Nah. That part couldn’t be real. There was no way.

“But I might not, you know, conceive. Don’t be disappointed if nothing happens.”

Dante switched to nibbling on Amir’s ear lobe. “How could having your tight, hot ass wrapped around my cock be disappointing?”

Amir’s anxiety ebbed away. At least Dante wasn’t expecting miracles. And the sensation of Dante’s thick cock swelling inside him, while different, wasn’t unpleasant. In truth, he found the experience thrilling. The connection went beyond the physical.

Amir wasn’t sure what to say, but he wanted Dante to know that he didn’t regret their encounter. "I could never have imagined my first time being so incredible."

Dante chuckled softly, a rich, deep sound that skittered down Amir’s spine. “Yes, our bond isn’t like human relationships. It goes much deeper, stronger. You’re mine now.” He pressed a kiss to Amir’s forehead. “And I’m yours.”

Amir took a moment to absorb what Dante was saying. This talk of being fated, of being meant for each other. It wasn’t a joke. He was dead serious. It wasn’t a line Dante had used to get laid. But would someone so experienced, a stunning guy who was used to having anyone he wanted, want to be tied down to a stranger forever?

He dragged the pad of his fingers across the stubble on Dante’s chin. “No more hook-ups in bars?”

Dante’s eyes darkened. “Never. Only you.”

A strange peace filled Amir, something akin to relief, yet it was much more than that. The feeling was more potent, almost primal. He rode the wave of being joined with Dante, the knot holding him, keeping them as one. Dante took his mouth over and over in deep, lazy kisses, as if all of eternity lay before them, endless stretches of time filled with nothing but ecstasy and pleasure.

A firm knock on the door broke them from their trance, their kiss coming to an abrupt end.

Dante groaned and muttered, “Seriously?” He gazed down at Amir. “I’ll tell whoever it is to get lost.”

“But what if it’s important?”

“Nothing’s more important to me than this.” He gave Amir a crooked smile. “Plus, we’re stuck together until my knot shrinks. Could make having a conversation a tad awkward.”

Amir arched his eyebrows. “You’re kidding.”

“There are some things I simply won’t joke about. This is one of them.”

The knock sounded louder.

“What?” Dante shouted, and Amir winced from the sharp yell. His mate had an impressive set of lungs.

Ezekiel answered, “Open the door. Michael and the others are here.”
