Chasing Seth (25 page)

Kasey kissed the skin over the pulse beating against the side of Seth’s throat. “You are my mate. I am the future Alpha, and you are the future Rho of this pack. They would die for you.”

“That’s just it!” Seth cried. “I don’t want them to die for me. I don’t want anyone to die. I’m tired of all this death and blood.”

Cuddling Seth closer, Kasey sighed. “No one is going to die, Seth. Except Taggart if I get my hands on him. No one will be running solo. They run in pairs, pup. Dad will order them not to engage without the others present. Relax. Nothing is going to happen.”

It helped Seth relax slightly. He melted into Kasey, burying his face in his neck. “I just don’t want anything to happen to you,” he murmured.

“Aww, come on, pup. You know I’m too stubborn,” Kasey teased. “Besides, if he did succeed, you’d finally be free of an arrogant ass like me.”

Seth drew back to glare at him. “That’s not even funny, Kasey. I don’t want to be free of you, even if you are an arrogant ass. I lo—” He abruptly cut himself off, horrified at what he’d almost said.

“You what?” Kasey demanded, refusing to let Seth try to hide his face from him. He tilted his head back so their eyes were locked together. “You what, pup?” he asked again, this time softer.

Sucking on his bottom lip, Seth tried to think of what he could say, but the hope shining out of the depths of Kasey’s eyes made him capitulate. His heart beat faster in anxiety, and his palms started to sweat. Aside from his parents, he had never told another person he loved them. Swallowing hard, he breathed out hesitantly, “I… love you.”

Kasey felt stunned, to say the least. His breath caught in a slight hiccup of emotion, and he crushed Seth to him, kissing him fiercely. His chest heaved for air when he broke away, leaning his forehead on Seth’s shoulder. His voice sounded rough, and his body quaked lightly when he could finally speak. “I wondered if you’d ever say it, if you’d ever feel it enough to say it. Oh God, pup. Do you really mean it?”

Seth ran his fingers through Kasey’s hair, stroking the base of his neck affectionately. “Yes, I mean it. I was afraid to admit it. Loving someone… telling someone you love them gives them a power over you that I wasn’t ready to give before. It’s why I can’t bring myself to run from you anymore. And maybe it’s selfish to leave you in danger, but I can’t stop myself.”

“It would be more selfish to leave me,” Kasey replied as he started slowly caressing Seth’s body. His hand smoothed along Seth’s thigh, around his knee and back up along the inside of it. His fingers began to lightly massage at the hot point he’d found on Seth the first time he’d taken the opportunity to explore his mate’s body to the fullest, just at the point his leg met his crotch. The backs of his fingers brushed over the swiftly swelling cock beneath his jeans with each stroke.

Seth moaned and gasped out, “What are you doing?”

A breathless chuckle left Kasey’s lips as he nuzzled at the tender spot behind Seth’s left ear. “I should think it pretty obvious, pup.” His tongue flicked out to lave the sweet skin before his teeth gently scraped over it. “I want to make love to you, Seth.”

“But it was supposed to be me in charge tonight,” Seth wheezed. His stomach flip-flopped at the love in Kasey’s voice. Everywhere Kasey’s hands and mouth touched him tingled. The drift of his fingers over his thigh, the moist heat of his tongue behind his ear, and even the hot breath sifting silkily across his skin sent fire licking through his veins. His jeans couldn’t hide the obvious effect Kasey had on him.

“Let me take care of you tonight, my mate. Let me cherish every inch of your beautiful, amazing body,” Kasey whispered between soft licks and kisses. His nose twitched and flared, filling his lungs with the scent of cinnamon. He’d never known a household kitchen spice could be so sexy. But he had a feeling if it were on anyone else, it wouldn’t compare to his captivating pup.

“Not in your truck, outside,” Seth groaned when Kasey’s hand cupped him through his jeans. “Anyone can see us.”

“There are no other houses around for miles,” Kasey murmured while continuing to feast on the luscious flesh. His palm felt his mate’s hard length throb, and he squeezed slowly, enjoying the long, loud growl Seth released.

“But…,” Seth said, arching his back slightly, his hands gripping at the large muscles in Kasey’s shoulders, “didn’t you say… there were others in your pack…?”

Seth reminded Kasey of his father’s promise to send out patrols, even around his own property. Reluctantly, he withdrew his hand from Seth’s cock, but not before giving it another squeeze and savoring the low sound Seth made. “Let’s go inside, then, pup.”

Seth didn’t need another word of encouragement. He’d jumped out of the truck and walked around the front before Kasey could gather himself enough to move. Laughing, Kasey slammed his truck door shut and took Seth’s hand in his, tugging him toward the front porch. “So eager to have me inside you, Seth?” he teased with a twinkle of merriment dancing in his eyes.

When Kasey stopped to unlock the front door, Seth stood up on tiptoe and nipped at Kasey’s ear. “I am eager to have you inside me, hot and hard and fucking me until we both can’t move.” His tongue slipped in and out of Kasey’s ear a couple of times, simulating the act they would be performing in the very near future, before he drew back.

Kasey fumbled with the keys as he shuddered in lust, swearing when he almost dropped them. Seth grinned victoriously, but it was only a short battle, for Kasey would win the war very shortly. He pinned Seth to the door the instant it shut. Growling into Seth’s ear, Kasey began stripping Seth of his clothing. He didn’t take Seth up against the door like Seth hoped he would. Instead, once he had Seth completely naked, he swept Seth up into his arms and carried him bridal-style up the stairs to his bedroom.

Seth had never been in his bedroom before, but he didn’t have the chance to look around, because Kasey covered his body immediately, his still fully clothed. Seth pouted up at Kasey. “You’re still wearing clothes.”

“I want to savor my gift before I bury myself balls deep inside your beautiful body,” Kasey explained. He started pressing hot, openmouthed kisses over Seth’s throat, collarbone, and down to his chest. Seth had very little hair on his body. A small sparse sprinkling along his pecs drew Kasey’s attention first. He rubbed his face along it, enjoying the slight tickling sensation. But he didn’t linger there, moving on to his mate’s left nipple.

His pup’s nipples were a light shade of brown, just dark enough to stand out against the lightness of his skin. He’d marveled more than once over how dark his skin appeared compared to Seth’s. They were as different as night and day, but it didn’t matter to him. Seth had quickly become his entire world. In the week since they’d met, things had changed so much. Despite it happening so fast, it felt right to be there, touching him, kissing him.

Kasey slid his tongue over Seth’s nipple slowly, teasingly, drawing a swift intake of breath from his lover. The nipple quickly puckered when Kasey blew on the wet skin. Seth wound his fingers through Kasey’s dark hair, pulling out the leather string that tied it back. “You’re not being fair,” he whimpered when he felt his mate gently roll his nipple between his teeth.

“All’s fair in love, pup,” Kasey said, grinning before he resumed the slick strokes of his tongue. He brushed kisses along the slight indent between nipples and paid the right one as much attention as the left. His eyes caught sight of the tattoo his Seth shared with the other wolf. Jealousy returned. He looked up at Seth and asked, “Will you do the same with me, Seth? Will you mark your body permanently to show the world we belong to each other?”

The jealousy rolled intensely off of Kasey. Seth could feel it, fierce and hot. He smiled tenderly and traced the tip of his index finger over the ridge of his high cheekbone. “Still jealous, love?”

“My true mate and another wolf share a permanent mark signifying a deep relationship between them. Do you think you wouldn’t be if it were reversed?” Kasey lifted an eyebrow, still stroking his hand over Seth’s soft belly. A secret thrill had gone through him when Seth called him his love. If there was only one thing he’d learned about his mate, pride and loyalty were taken very seriously by Seth. If Seth said he loved him, he loved him unconditionally.

Seth hummed in pleasure at Kasey’s touch, but he knew he would be just as jealous if it were him in Kasey’s position. “No, I would be insanely jealous,” he murmured. “You’ve handled it much better than I would have.”

A triumphant gleam came into Kasey’s eyes. He lazily slid his hand lower, letting the small sprinkled trail of hair leading the way down to a great treat tickle his palm. “I like the idea of you being jealous,” Kasey smirked.

“Yeah, well, don’t get used to public displays of it,” Seth said, scowling. He attempted to keep control of his body, but it seemed to want to ignore his thoughts. His cock leapt when Kasey’s fingers brushed the base, but the touch merely teased him before the fingers moved away. A frustrated snarl rumbled in his throat.

“Patience, mate. I want to enjoy this night.” Slipping down, Kasey licked and kissed each of Seth’s ribs, following the line down to his navel. Seth’s belly button looked like a perfect O, so pretty and just begging for him to make love to it with his tongue. He didn’t disappoint, and the wet hot muscle slipped into the small hole, twirling around the edges of it.

“Just tonight?” Seth groaned out in question, one hand coming to rest on the back of Kasey’s head and the other clutching the sheet beneath him.

“Oh, I fully intend to savor this gorgeous”—he kissed the top of Seth’s hipbone—“sexy”—his teeth scraped over the sensitive skin—“body of yours every minute of every day for the rest of our lives. But tonight”—his tongue soothed the small mark from his teeth—“tonight is the first time you gave me everything.”

A strangled cry echoed through the room when Kasey suddenly sucked the skin between Seth’s hipbone and his groin into his mouth. It sent spirals of pleasure shafting through Seth, and his cock grew even harder, pressing against Kasey’s cheek. Sweat began to form on his body, glistening in the moonlight shafting through the window. Kasey had left all of the lights turned off when he’d brought him up to his bedroom, and there was only a matter of days before the full moon, leaving it hanging an almost full orb in the sky. The muscles under Seth’s skin rippled as Kasey continued to suckle at the bit of skin his mouth had captured. “Kasey,” Seth keened.

Seth’s cock wept profusely, and Kasey could feel the liquid smearing on his cheek. He ignored his mate’s plea and just continued enjoying the way his small body trembled and quaked, the way he panted and sighed. Those sounds were the most precious things in the world to him. They were proof his mate enjoyed what he did to him. He never wanted to hear a sound of fear from his mate when he touched him, when he made love to him.

Once his mouth left behind a love mark, Kasey moved away from the spot. He brushed his lips over the base of Seth’s fully erect prick and continued up the shaft, just passing his mouth over it in small butterfly-like kisses. Then Kasey went back down the shaft, using just his tongue. He did it over and over again until Seth became nothing but a moaning, quivering mass of limbs. Kasey’s nostrils flared, taking in the sharp tangy scent of his mate’s fluids and the salty scent of the sweat dampening the sheets. Kasey swiped at the flared tip, tasting the pearly liquid steadily seeping out of the little slit in the end. “I love the way you taste, pup.”

“No more,” Seth gasped, his hand tightening in the dark strands of Kasey’s hair. “Please… please, Kasey. Take it in your mouth.”

“What do you want me to do with it, Seth?” Kasey taunted seductively, rubbing his cheek against Seth’s dick. “Tell me exactly and in detail, mate. I’ll do whatever you want.”

Seth blushed as he whispered, “Lick it.”

A flash of pink swiped over the tip of Seth’s cock. “What else?” Kasey asked roughly between licks.

“Kasey…,” Seth whined quietly. “It’s… it’s embarrassing.”

“I just want to do whatever makes you feel good, pup.” Kasey nuzzled his nose at the tight sac under his mate’s erect shaft. When a panting moan rattled in Seth’s throat, he took pity on the dark-haired vet and rose up enough to engulf the head in his mouth. He hummed in pleasure when he felt Seth’s fingers reflexively squeeze his hair even tighter. It made him happy to know his mate enjoyed his mouth on him. Curling his tongue around the shaft, he slowly descended to the base, taking each inch into his mouth and further down his throat. Despite Seth’s stature, he wasn’t built small. The head touched the back of Kasey’s throat, and he relaxed his muscles, taking it all the way in.

“Oh fuck,” Seth groaned when he felt Kasey deep-throat him. His hips rose slightly from the bed at the lust spiking through him. His eyes rolled back in his head, and his neck arched gracefully, glistening with a tempting sheen of sweat. The warm moist sucking sent shivers along his spine, but it wasn’t enough to trip him over the edge. “Kasey….”

The dark-haired sheriff enjoyed the taste of his lover too much to bring him to orgasm just yet. His large hands stroked along the inside of Seth’s thighs, caressing him with roughly calloused palms. Seth’s skin felt soft and silky, smooth like warm butter. It almost made Kasey feel ashamed to touch him with such coarse hands. Kasey pushed Seth’s legs wider and higher up, resting the backs of his knees on his shoulders. The position gave him access to the tight opening that would soon be sheathing his hard staff, and he eagerly released Seth’s cock to tease him further by pressing his tongue against the puckered flesh.

Seth gasped at the first touch of wet heat against his hole. He felt vulnerable and exposed to Kasey right then, his legs in the air and his body bared for the still fully clothed Cheyenne’s roving hands and mouth. He licked his dry lips, his breath wheezing in and out of his lungs. Tingles zipped up his body when Kasey’s tongue pushed inside him, spreading him open. The longer Kasey fucked him with his tongue, the more relaxed his body became, which allowed Kasey to push two fingers inside him easily. Seth bucked upward and cried out as Kasey’s fingers brushed against his prostate. “Kasey…,” he rasped, writhing on the sheets. “No more. Please… need you… now.”
