CHAPTER 16
XADE
Caden was safe.
Xade’s heart purred in relief as he kissed his mate’s soft skin, holding onto his hips possessively. Even with everything that had happened, his mate had been so brave, avoiding the rebels and escaping to the forest.
Xade had planned to take his mate straight back to the palace after finding him, but as the human leaned against him and kissed him so sweetly, all such thoughts had disappeared from his mind.
His mate looked so lovely and ethereal in the moonlight, with his red hair curling gently around his flushed face, and Xade could not resist him. He reminded Xade of some kind of magical forest elf like those he had read about when researching human mythology.
Mine.
Xade let his teeth rake down the curve of Caden’s ass. Soon, he had Caden’s ass cheeks spread and was working on his tight hole with a probing finger. Caden moaned and squirmed in his grasp.
“It feels so good,” he breathed. “Oh…”
Xade didn’t respond, continuing his ministrations. Without the lubricating aid of the Jaruca fruit, it would take some time to ready his mate to take him. However, he could already feel himself starting to leak pre-cum, and he knew it would have a similar effect on the human.
With his free hand, he gave his cock a few strokes, wet his fingers with the pre-cum, and pressed them to Caden’s lips.
“Lick them,” he ordered.
His mate did so without question, lapping up the pre-cum, his tongue warm and soft against his fingers. Xade nearly groaned at the sensation.
His fingers were still at Caden’s hole, stroking him gently. Soon, he could feel a distinct wetness at his mate’s opening and the male relaxed even more. Caden was responding to Xade’s touch with such sensitivity that soon Xade was able to press another finger into him.
He pushed in and out of Caden’s asshole, relishing in the faint moans that the man produced with each movement.
When Caden was nearly contracting around Xade’s fingers in pleasure, Xade removed them and stood close behind his mate. He began to free himself from his robe when Caden suddenly turned and looked him in the eyes, surprising him.
“First, I want to… I want to do something for you,” he said, smiling in a way that made Xade think he was going to greatly enjoy whatever was about to come next.
“Tell me,” Xade said.
Caden dropped to his knees. For a moment, worry washed over Xade as he wondered if the movement was making Caden’s wounds bother him, but since the human said nothing, Xade decided it was safe not to worry and just enjoy the moment.
“I want to suck your cock,” Caden said, not appearing the least bit embarrassed at the frankness of his words. “I want to make you feel good.”
The redhead put a hand around the base of Xade’s cock, already slick with pre-cum. He stroked it slowly before swirling his tongue around the head. Caden looked up at him, his lips shiny with pre-cum and his eyes incongruously innocent.
“Thank you for saving me,” he whispered before taking as much of Xade’s cock in his mouth as he could.
Now, Xade did groan. He tangled his hands in Caden’s soft hair, guiding him even deeper onto his hard member.
Caden seemed to have no trouble taking more.
Soon, his mate had a steady rhythm going, stroking with his hand and sucking and licking in ways that made Xade moan out loud. The soft warmth of the man’s mouth and the pressure of his hand felt so good Xade was pumping more pre-cum into his mate’s mouth.
He needed to fill his mate with his seed. Now. Even though his mate was already pregnant, the intense urge was no weaker. Not that Xade had any problem with that.
He pulled Caden back by his hair, firmly but gently, and guided him to a standing position.
“Turn around for me,” he growled, nearly blind with need.
His mate complied eagerly, leaning against the tree in front of them and pushing his ass back toward Xade, inviting him in.
The rim of Caden’s asshole rubbed against the head of his cock as Xade stroked his member across Caden’s opening. The silky firmness of it hinted at such pleasure to come that Xade had a hard time not just shoving himself into his mate in that very moment. Instead, with patience, he spent a long time easing his swollen head into the tight opening.
“I don’t know if I can…” Caden started to say, wincing.
Xade stopped pushing in and leaned to kiss his mate on the neck, brushing aside his hair. As he pumped out more and more pre-cum, it became easier to enter him.
In minutes of gentle, subtle movements of his hips, Xade was completely inside. With a final shove, he hit the most pleasurable spot deep inside Caden and the man moaned, his fingers slipping as he grasped at the smooth bark of the tree.
Now Xade couldn’t hold back any longer. Caden was clearly ready for more. The way he was pushing back against Xade and breathing hard drove him nearly mad. He moved back and then pushed into Caden again, thrusting at first with each heartbeat and then faster. The feeling was incredible.
Soon, Caden appeared to be so overcome with pleasure that he could barely hold himself upright. Xade wrapped an arm around his chest to support him, being careful not to brush his mate’s wounds as he did so. His arm easily reached down to the little Omega’s hard cock and he began to stroke it, once with each thrust.
“It’s too much,” Caden breathed. “I’m… I’m…”
“Come for me,” Xade ordered into his mate’s ear, biting at his earlobe.
Caden did, with no hesitation. The way he shuddered as he came into Xade’s hand, his moans interrupted by his heavy breaths… It brought Xade to climax as well.
Pleasure like lightning flashed through him as he filled his mate with his cum. He thrust a few final times as his balls emptied completely, grunting in his pleasure.
When they both had finished, Caden turned in Xade’s embrace and strained upward to kiss him on the mouth.
Kissing was not as common during mating between Zatans, especially once climax had been reached, but Xade had absolutely no complaints. His mate’s soft lips were divine and he returned the kiss in earnest.
“No more distractions,” he said, finding it just as hard to pull away as his mate seemed to. “We must return to the palace, now.”
“I understand,” Caden said. “I’m sorry,” he said, smiling a little. “I think I just really needed that. I missed you so much while I was lost.”
Xade’s heart felt warm and began to vibrate. “No apologies are necessary,” he said finally, not sure how to express the deep warmth of what he was feeling in words.
Instead, he scooped up his little mate and wrapped him back up in his robe. He began to jog back toward the palace, with his mate in his arms and the moon as his guide.
