The only problem was that he was racing there as well, and it was too late to stop it. He never wanted it to end, never wanted to leave Cameron’s body, but he was too close.
“Alric! Oh god, Alric. So close. Gonna—”
“Don’t! Don’t you dare! Not until I say,” Alric snapped.
Cameron whined, and Alric smacked him on the ass. “I mean it, Cameron. Don’t.”
Cameron whimpered. “Hurry.”
Picking up his pace, Alric fucked into him harder, tagging Cameron’s prostate so that the man under him practically sobbed with pleasure. The orgasm slammed into Alric hard. Lightning sizzled through nerve endings, and he cried out Cameron’s name as he filled his channel. The edges of his vision went dark, and his damn knees threatened to give out. Dear god, he’d never come so hard in his life. He wanted nothing more than to flop onto Cameron and cuddle the man as he drifted into sleep, but first he had to take care of his lover.
Carefully, he pulled out, wringing a cry of denial from Cameron. Working quickly, he flipped Cameron’s sweat-covered body onto his back and shoved him farther across the mattress so Alric had room to climb into the bed. Cameron lifted his head and started to speak, but the words were strangled in his throat when Alric swallowed his leaking cock down his throat.
A loud shout echoed through the room, and Cameron’s fingers twisted in Alric’s thick hair, holding him prisoner. He sucked hard on his dick, lapping up the precum and swirling his tongue around the head before stroking down the shaft. Cameron trembled underneath him. Alric bobbed on his dick hard and fast, sucking him.
“Alric!” Cameron shouted. “I—”
He could feel Cameron swelling on his tongue and Alric hummed his approval. He wanted this, needed to taste him. Cameron shouted again as his orgasm broke free. Alric happily swallowed him down, loving every sound and shiver. With it came a feeling of peace he’d not felt since he’d last held Cameron. The anger was gone, though the fear and worry still lingered.
With a final whimper from Cameron, Alric let his dick slip from his lips. He lifted up to find Cameron’s face slack, his glasses knocked askew, and his sweaty hair sticking up in every direction. He was beautiful.
Alric crawled up the bed to lay on his right side beside Cameron. The mage turned his head to face Alric, his large eyes blinking so slowly. Alric plucked the glasses off his face and stretched to place them on the closest nightstand before pulling Cameron in close. He loved that Cameron was a cuddler, loved feeling every inch of him stretched out along Alric’s body. Nothing should be between them.
“How do you feel?” Alric asked. He leaned down and brushed his lips across Cameron’s damp forehead.
“Wow…” Cameron exhaled and Alric chuckle. “No, really. It’s like everything is tingling. Every nerve ending.” He stopped and sighed softly. “I can feel you everywhere.”
“Good,” Alric whispered. He nuzzled his face into Cameron’s neck and closed his eyes. For a moment, he could actually sympathize with Kaiser Jaeggi. Was this what it had been like when he’d fallen for the dragon who didn’t belong to him? He couldn’t ever imagine letting Cameron go, watching him walk into the arms of another. He’d sooner tear open his own chest and rip out his heart than release Cameron.
“Hey,” Cameron said, and Alric lifted his head to meet his gaze. He was looking a little less blissed out and a little too focused. “How are you feeling?”
“Wonderful,” Alric said, which was true but not the entire truth. He forced a small smile on his lips that he didn’t quite feel, and Cameron’s eyes turned sad.
Reaching up, Cameron placed his hand to Alric’s cheek, his thumb stroking along the new growth of whiskers lining his jaw. “I guess I should be grateful you are such a horrible liar.”
“Cameron,” he started, but the mage’s thumb left his jaw to press to his lips.
“I’m fine, Alric. Safe. You and the rest of the clan will keep me safe. Nothing is going to happen to me. The Jaeggi are not going to touch me.” There was a fierceness to Cameron’s words. He believed what he was saying. He trusted Alric completely.
Closing his eyes, Alric rubbed his cheek against Cameron’s hand and kissed his thumb. “I will always worry about your safety.”
“Silly dragon.” Alric’s eyes flicked open to see the lightness and laughter return to Cameron’s. “You know you’re not going to get rid of me that easily.”
He didn’t want to ever be rid of Cameron Park, but he didn’t want to say more and put pressure on Cameron. He didn’t want him thinking about mates or anything that might tear Cameron from his arms. It was just better to keep things light between them.
