Awareness buzzed between us as we made our goodbyes to the children, and Axel canceled the movie we were to watch. Even as anxious as we were to get somewhere with privacy, Axel’s well-bred manners would not allow him to have someone waiting to begin the film for us.
There were more than a few knowing glances among the omegas in their part of the compound as Axel made an excuse about being tired after the game.
They knew it was a lie.
We would not be resting once Axel took me to his suite. I, for one, could not wait. It felt as if we had been dancing around our electric chemistry since the very day we had met.
Since our first date, the picnic, there had been a handful of kisses, yet never time for more. All it did was ramp up the sexual tension between us.
Though I was skilled in the carnal arts—time in the military will do that—I required a connection to a person, regardless of gender, before I couldtake things further. Sexual attraction only came from knowing them first, finding things in common, having feelings for them.
I had a lot of feelings for Axel. Likely more than I was willing to admit, considering my time with the pack would be short and our future… there were too many unknowns. Not taking this chance with Axel would leave me with my life’s biggest regret. That I knew with certainty.
Shifters moved out of our way as we rushed to the main house, Axel’s hand firmly in mine.
Aware he might be expending too much energy, I pushed magic into him, giving him a boost. His color brightened, and he tossed a grateful smile my way.
Energy renewed, he took advantage of that by twisting our positions as soon as we were behind the door of his suite. I did not have time to see the room I was in before my back met the wall and Axel’s mouth covered mine.
From our first kiss, I became addicted to his taste. The feel of his body against mine had a surge of arousal flowing through me. This first full experience with Axel would not be a drawn-out affair. My body ached for him.
“Bedroom,” Axel demanded as he broke the kiss. “We need to be naked for this.”
I paused our journey to his bed. “What do you want?”
Axel hesitated, and I nearly ended it all. I would not be with an unwilling or reluctant participant. Hewould be fully and enthusiastically consenting or it would not happen.
“What do you like?” Was there a glimmer of fear in his eyes?
I raised a hand to brush the hair from his forehead and then caressed his cheek. “I have to admit, my position in the army has had me playing the part of the more dominant partner. If this is an issue for you—“
“No!” he interrupted. “I like both, but with you, I’d be happy to bottom.” A trace of a smile clung to his full lips. They were slightly kiss swollen, and I hoped I’d soon see them wrapped around my cock.
“Well, in that case, I’d like you to strip and get on the bed.”
“How about I get on my knees for you instead?”
The heat had returned to Axel’s expression. It wiped away any hint of worry I had about going further.
Stepping away, I pulled my tunic over my head, my amulet snagged in the cloth.
“This is beautiful,” Axel said as he untangled it to hang correctly around my neck. “Do you want to keep it on?”
In answer, I removed it, dropping it to land on my tunic.
Axel gazed at my bare chest. His breathing picked up, and I caught sight of his arousal. He was straining the fabric of his jeans.
He dropped to his knees, pulled my leggings down, and took in the sight of me, hard and leaking at just a look from him.
“What’s this?” He stroked a finger over the tattoo on the skin of the crease of my groin.
“Later. I need you to touch me.”
“I am touching you.” Axel laughed quietly. His breath over my cock was torture.
“Suck me,” I ordered, my voice coming out gravelly.
