Jared pressed his lips against Carson’s, ready to bask in the flavor of their mate. He was sweet, spicy, with a hint of mint and vanilla. Carson pushed against his chest when the kiss began, but he quickly relaxed in Jared’s arms. Their human slid his hands down and wrapped his arms about Jared’s waist, tugging him even closer.
Deepening the kiss, Jared pushed the human against the smooth rocks lining the pool. Pinned between him and the rocks, Carson was his passionate prisoner. Jared took advantage, pressing closer to Carson and rubbing his naked body against their human’s. Carson was soon running his hands over Jared and tugging him closer.
Carson pulled his mouth away. “You’re not making this any easier.”
“Seems pretty easy to me,” Jared drawled, smiling down at their human. He recaptured Carson’s lips, trying to quell any more argument. The human just needed to face his desire and their bond, and when he did, then he’d be theirs.
Three days.
Carson slid his hands down and began stroking Jared’s cock. Jared moaned against the human’s lips and followed the same train of thought. He captured Carson’s cock in one fist andmassaged the length from base to tip and back down. The water helped buoy their actions, and the heat only fueled the need inside Jared.
“I want to be inside you,” Jared whispered against Carson’s lips. “I want to connect with you like we did last night.”
Carson shook his head. “I don’t know.”
“Let’s see,” Jared said, spinning Carson to face the rocks. Jared pressed along the man’s back to make him bend and lift his ass. As gently as he could, he pressed a finger against Carson’s anus and he slid in with more ease than the night before.
Carson rose on his toes, hissing.
“Too much?”
“No,” Carson mumbled. “It’s sore, butthat’snot too much.” Carson paused. “I kind of enjoy… the pain.” He lifted both of his hands to his face and scrubbed it. “What the fuck is wrong with me?”
Jared closed his eyes, trying to control his need. He stepped back, putting distance between them.
Carson spun to eye him. “Where are you going?”
Jared smiled, swimming to the edge of the pool. He searched the smooth rocks until he found the fake. After opening it, he pulled out the lube they’d stored there for emergencies. He returned to Carson and pumped a bit into his palm before lifting their mate’s ass out of the water to coat the tight hole.
Carson’s back arched as he spread the lube, a moan pouring from his lips.
“Prepared, I see,” Carson mumbled.
“As any cub scout learns to be,” Jared whispered, grinning.
He fed his finger deeper and rhythmically surged in and out, making sure Carson could handle his touch. Carson soon relaxed around the impalement and began rocking his hips to meet the thrusts. When Carson moaned, Jared added another finger, stretching him wider. Once again the man hissed in pain.
“I’m okay,” Carson said before Jared could ask the question.
“Are you sure?”
“Just keep going,” Carson spat. “You can’t stop now.”
Jared chuckled lightly. “For someone who wanted space, you’re being awfully needy right now.”
Carson looked over his shoulder, his eyes darkened with lust. “You gonna keep running your mouth or are you going to fuck me?”
Heat flooded Jared’s body. His bear rose to the surface, and his eyes began to glow.
“Come on, bear. Show me what you’re made of.”
Jared let out a roar, his incisors lengthening as he felt his animal raging within. Jared claws extended a tiny bit, the tips of his fingers growing dangerous. He reeled them back in, knowing he could hurt their human if he wasn’t careful. “Don’t tempt the beast.”
“Why not?” Carson said over his shoulder. He drew off Jared’s fingers and spun to face Jared. “Iwantthe beast.”

Carson noticed Jared’s eyes glowing even stronger, hinting the beast was coming close to the surface. He shivered all over, the hint of animal he saw a turn on when he should’ve likely been running. He’d laid down a challenge for a reason. Now he waited to see if the bear would come out to play. Already Jared’s teeth were longer, the incisors sharp as he bared them and growled at Carson.
