“Growth is where it needs to be,” Dr. King said. “I’ll take measurements while the two of you stare at your little one.” There was a sound that suddenly filled the room, and I knew what it was without the doctor having to say. That was our baby’s heartbeat. I gave Dante’s hand another squeeze and closed my eyes, enjoying the moment and the feelings that I could experience through our bond. This was truly love, and a year ago, I never thought I’d be here. Now I was, and I couldn’t imagine life without Dante in it anymore.
Chapter 17
Dante
My mate was amazing, and seeing our growing son in the ultrasound made me feel a way I never thought I would. I already loved Banner. But seeing that new life he was creating for us, that added a new level of emotion to everything.
“You’re quiet,” Banner said. “Is something wrong?”
I smiled at my mate and held out my arms. He walked directly to me and into my embrace. “I love you,” I told him. I felt a surge of happiness through our bond.
“I love you too.” Banner leaned his head back a bit and looked at me. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing. I’ve just gotten back from the ultrasound and got to see our baby. It was quite a moment for me. That’s our son. You’re growing an entire new person.”
Banner smiled up at me. “Yep. And apparently, it means I’m always tired.”
I kissed his nose, then smiled. “That’s all right. You can spend your days in bed now because I have a feeling that once our little one arrives, we won’t be getting too much sleep.”
Banner groaned and closed his eyes. His head fell forward, gently hitting me in the chest. “That’s not…no. I don’t want tothink about that yet.” He looked up at me. “I’ll welcome it, but for some reason, I haven’t gotten that far into my thinking yet.”
I chuckled before I kissed his nose again. “Very well. What did you want to do for the rest of the day?” I asked. I know what we were talking about doing earlier, but things had happened since then, non-sexy things really, and I didn’t know if Banner would still be in the mood for such activities. I should have known better though.
“Really? You conveniently forgot what you were saying to me earlier? Do you not want to spend the afternoon in bed, knotted together?”
I grinned. “Oh, I do. But I didn’t know if you still were up for that. We did have an appointment outside of the house.”
Banner rolled his eyes before he stepped out of my embrace. “You’re ridiculous. As if I would ever not want to be knotted to you.” As Banner walked away, I’ll admit it took me entirely too long to realize he was walking toward the stairs. By the time my brain started functioning, he was already halfway up to the second floor, where the bedrooms were.
I gave chase, and when Banner realized I was closing the distance quickly, he laughed and took off. I caught up upstairs about halfway down the hallway. Banner continued to laugh as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and leaned in for a kiss. He tilted his head to the side, and I took that moment to start giving nibbling kisses on the side of his neck. Banner’s laughter turned to moans as we frog-walked the rest of the way to the bedroom.
I had been ready to give in to what he wanted earlier, I always was, but it would have been incredibly rude to miss our appointment because we were knotted together. I felt Banner’s desire through our bond and made sure mine was open to him, and he knew I wanted him just as much as he did me.
I let my hands roam up and down his torso, and when I got to the bottom of his hoodie, I slid my hands under and found warm, smooth skin. My fingers trailed up his ribs, while my lips left gentle sucking kisses on his neck. When we made it to the bed, Banner was whimpering, and I could feel his burning need now. That was exactly how I wanted him right now.
I pulled his hoodie off over his head and let it drop to the floor. Banner reached back and placed his hands on my hips, pulling me close while he pushed his ass into my throbbing dick. More than ready to play that game with him, I slid my hands down his body, placing them on his hips, and held him gently to me while I rolled my hips into him over and over. Banner moaned as his hands left my hips, and it didn’t take long for me to realize they’d pushed into his sweats.
“Do you need my hands on your cock, baby?”
“Yes,” Banner answered out loud. “And your dick in my ass. Use magic to stretch me because I don’t have the patience to wait for you to use your fingers. I’m sorry, Dante. But I really need you right now.”
He knew how much I loved playing with him and all of the needy noises I could pull from him while I explored his body with my hands and mouth. But I also had learned how to become a generous lover for my mate. He was pregnant, and I knew his hormones were up and down, and right now, if he said he needed me, I was going to give him exactly what he asked because I couldn’t deny my mate.
I moved us to the bed, and as Banner started to crawl onto it, I used magic to remove the rest of his clothes and all of mine. Banner let out a gasp when I used magic to stretch him. I held my hand out, which I’d put some lube on, and wrapped it around my dripping dick. I slid it up and down several times, pumping myself while imagining that it was Banner’s tight hole that I was moving in and out of.
“Fuck, that’s hot.”
I opened my eyes and found my mate staring at my hand on my dick. I put on a little show for him, sliding the foreskin back with my left hand and holding it tight while my lubed hand slid up and down my length. I swirled my hand around the head and sighed loudly. It felt so damn good.
“Seriously, Dante. Why don’t you do that all the time?”
When I looked at Banner again, he surprised me by having several fingers buried in his hole. He was moving them in and out as I stroked my cock, and his whimpers were almost enough to have me coming then and there. But I’d promised my mate that I’d fill him with my knot, and that was what I was going to do.
I let go of my cock and climbed onto the bed. I moved up behind Banner, and with a gentle hand, I pushed him back down onto his hands and knees.
“Yes,” Banner whispered as I moved up behind him.
I gently pulled his cheeks apart, and after I lined up my cock, I pressed forward. Banner moaned, then started panting when I continued to slowly push forward. My cockhead finally pushed through, and I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip to keep from thrusting forward like I so desperately wanted. Even though my mate wanted me, he still deserved to be treated with love and care while we were intimate.
