Nero was murmuring words in another language, the same one he’d spoken before when he’d been comforting me this afternoon, and he grabbed one of my hands and brought it up to rest over his saddle patch, my thumb on his Adam’s apple, so I felt it when he swallowed and shuddered as I gently scraped my nails over the sensitive skin.
“Fuck, Felix. Come down here.” He pulled me down onto his chest, his mouth finding my scent gland behind my ear and nipping at it.
I wanted his claiming bite, but this didn’t feel like the right moment. This was something that was just for us, something we needed before we’d be ready for that step. I didn’t know how orca shifters claimed their mates, fated or otherwise, but I had a feeling it had to do with his saddle patch. We’d need to talk about it so I did it right when it was time. For now, I rocked my hips, and he lifted his to match my rhythm.
What had started as hurried and desperate had slowed in pace but not in urgency. I wanted to feel Nero’s cum inside me. Slowly, we increased the pace until we were both panting and sweaty and I was riding the edge.
“Nero, God, I need to come.”
He gripped my hips and thrust up into me hard and fast, hitting where I needed him to just right. He wrapped a hand around my cock, and he’d barely stroked twice before I came on a scream, my ass pulsing around him, and painted his chest with my release.
“Felix.” He pulled me down sharply and bit into my shoulder—enough to leave a mark but not enough to draw blood—and came, the heat of his cum flooding me. For one flash of a second, I wished I’d let him bite me and claim me for real.
But this was just the beginning of our story. There would be time.
Plenty of time.
CHAPTER
SEVEN
NERO
I wokefrom a dead sleep and knew immediately something was wrong.
Felix wasn’t next to me, and when I reached out, his side of the bed was cold.
“Fuuuuck!” I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and threw back the covers. How had I let something happen to him when he was in my house?
Then I took a breath and opened my senses, reaching for the thread of connection our fated bond had created. He was frustrated, but he was safe.
And I knew where he was.
I grabbed a pair of sweats and made my way down to Julius’s office.
The lights were off downstairs, but the blue glow of a computer monitor filtered into the hallway through the open doors.
For a moment, I just stood there watching Felix as his fingers flew over the keys. Then I realized what was on the screen, and my heart fell to my toes. Still, I didn’t want to scare him, so I cleared my throat once, then again when he didn’t turn.
Felix swiveled around in the chair, locking eyes with me while he minimized the window he had open.
“Nero. Shit. What are you doing down here?”
I crossed my arms and leaned against the doorjamb. “I woke up, and you weren’t there. I panicked.”
“I was just, uh, doing some research.”
“Yeah, I saw. Research on my family.”
He looked down at his hands. “It’s not like that.”
“Yeah? Sure looks like it.”
“Here. Sit.” He kicked the extra chair at the desk out. I didn’t move. “Please. I want to talk to you about something.”
“Fine.” I wasn’t sure why, but seeing Felix digging into my family felt like a betrayal. Or maybe it only felt that way because there were skeletons in our closets that didn’t need to be let out.
Felix restored his windows and beckoned me to move closer. “I’m guessing you already know about all this.”
