When the Mates came up the stairs to join the Alphas, Armand announced that it was time to leave Julien and Richard so they could get to know each other better.
Sean held up his hands. “Whoa, wait. What about the ceremony? We haven’t discussed the details.”
Ian clapped Sean on the back. “We have time for that Wednesday. Let’s leave the lovebirds alone. After all, they let us sleep.”
As they went down the stairs, Sean called, “It’s my turn for lunch on Wednesday. The household will appreciate you being out of the way for a few hours while they pack to go. Marcel knows the address.”
The drivers brought the cars around in order of precedence, and Julio was the last to leave. “I’m so glad you’re here, and I feel unbelievably lucky to have a Mate who thought to search for you to please me.”
“Me too. You gave me my Julien. After only three days, I can’t imagine my life without him.”

As soon as the door closed on Etienne and Julio, Richard slipped into Julien’s arms. “Let’s go upstairs and fool around.”
“We can’t do too much because I may bite you and invalidate the mating.” Julien kissed Richard’s hair, reveling in his Mate’s clean male scent.
“Julio told me what to do to avoid that.” Satisfaction filled Richard’s voice.
“Then lead on…I want you so much, I can barely breathe without catching your scent and imagining your skin under my mouth. Did you know your skin is the color of peaches and cream, so smooth and soft? Yet your body is well formed. I adore your body.”
“My skin has freckles, and my body isn’t buff. But if you like it, I’ll never complain again.” They stood in front of the elevator hand in hand, and when the door opened, they stepped in.
Julien grabbed Richard and began to make love to his mouth with his lips. He swirled his tongue, circling Richard’s full lips until his Mate opened them and welcomed him in. The elevator stopped on the third floor, and Julien picked Richard up and carried him into the bedroom.
“I’m five foot nine, not exactly a lightweight. You’re the seventh strongest wolf in North America, I’d hate to see what Armand can lift.” Julien laid Richard on the bed.
“Armand and Rémy are formidable but the others, I could probably take. However, I wouldn’t risk you, or the peace Armand has so delicately forged. On top of that, I like what I do. Now let me hold you.” He wrapped his arms around his Mate. Richard fit perfectly curled up against his body. Julien closed his eyes for a moment.Thank you, gods.
“I have no idea how this happened so fast. I love you.” Richard nestled his head on Julien’s chest. “I don’t care if it’s pheromones or if I’ve suddenly lost my mind. You make me happy.”
“Oh, mon ange, I want you to be happy and so much more.” Julien shifted and lowered himself down on top of Richard, licking his lips and sucking up a mark on his shoulder. “I’m going to bite you right there and renew my mark every time we make love.”
With a sly grin, Richard turned over and put himself on top of Julien. Sitting on Julien’s legs, he removed both his shoes and socks and toed off his own. After shifting his body to face his lover, he slowly removed Julien’s tie and unhooked his belt. He unbuttoned Julien’s pants and pulled down the zipper, brushing his hand against his wolf’s crotch. Julien let out a low, growly moan. Richard then switched his focus and undid Julien’s shirt and cuffs, his wolf’s massive erection stabbing into his thigh. His own cock grew hard as a wave of anticipation flooded him. With an assist from his lover, he took off both his shirt and his undershirt and threw them on the floor.
“Mon ange, if I am going to be half dressed, so are you.” Richard quickly stood and undressed down to his new silk boxers. His clothes now lay in a heap beside the bed. He pulled at Julien’s pants, and Julien lifted his ass so Richard could remove them. They joined Richard’s on the floor.
He eyed his wolf’s erection and licked his lips. “Now lay still on the bed while I make love to you.”
“Mon ange, I should be making love to you.” Julien stroked his thigh.
A pleasant shockwave rushed straight to his groin. “No, my love, we make love to each other.” Richard started by biting Julien’s earlobe and licking behind his ear, tasting his salty skin. He worked his way around the back of Julien’s neck. His wolf shivered.
“Angel, please stay away from my mouth. If I get too turned on, and you’re near my mouth, I’ll bite.”
“Mmm hmm.” Richard moved his mouth down Julien’s chest and ran his hands over down to his navel playing with his curly hairs, putting his lips and teeth on his wolf’s nubs. Julien smelled of sandalwood and tasted of clean sweat. Richard liked his men to have hair on their chests. He had to remember to ask Julio if all of the loup garou were hairy. He sucked lightly on his nubs with the occasional quick bite.
Julien took a deep breath and blew it out. “By the gods, do you know what you do to me?” He started to writhe on the bed.
Julien shimmied out of his boxers and Richard didn’t stop. He licked his way past Julien’s navel to the juncture of his thigh and torso. After a few teasing licks, he swiped his tongue around the head of his wolf’s cock.
Julien let out a strangled groan and grabbed Richard’s shoulders. “Oh, gods, what have I ever done to deserve you.” Richard shook him away, taking the whole of Julien’s massive shaft down his throat. He glanced up. His powerful wolf’s hands clenched the sheets as he moaned his pleasure.
He began to ever so slowly work Julien’s cock. His mouth moved up and down, he wrapped his tongue around the uncircumcised top and sipped the sweet pre-cum from the small well at the tip of the head.
“You have to stop. I might knot if I come this way with my Mate. I refuse to choke you. I have to ask Etienne or Alexei.”
Richard removed his mouth and licked his lips. “That doesn’t preclude a hand job. Wait a minute.” He got up and ran to the bathroom then returned with a bottle of hand lotion. Richard greased up his hands and started to create friction. While his hand moved above, below he took each of Julien’s balls and rotated them in his mouth. His own erection ached for release.
