Chapter Seven

Like many shifters, Doc never put a label on his sexuality. He’d been perfectly happy, married to Serenity and never felt anything was lacking in the life they shared together. They had three children together and right up until Serenity was taken from him, they’d had an active sex life. In the years that followed, if his needs got too intense, a quick visit to Jackson took care of most of his urges. He didn’t care if a person was male or female so long as they were willing to have sex in the dark while he left his shirt on.

But he’d always had a thing for cocks and Joe’s was a beauty. Twelve, possibly thirteen inches long, it had a slight curve to the left and the glans were fat and wide. Surprisingly, Joe was circumcised but for Doc that simply meant Joe would be extra sensitive during a blow job especially when he nibbled on those delicious nerve endings located at the base of his glans. Fat balls hanging heavy and low between Joe’s legs completed the sensuous picture.

Taking pity on his mate, who was lying as though on a torture rack, his hands fisted by his side and his eyes focused on the ceiling, Doc decided to confront the issue head on, so to speak. Bending over, he cradled the slab of meat in his hands, brushing his lips across the edge of the glans. He was going to have an aching jaw sucking this beast down, but he was willing to take in as much as possible.

“Just beautiful,” he whispered, dotting kisses all over the swollen head. A pulse of liquid dribbled out of the slit and he lapped it up, keen for a taste. There was always something musky about a male’s ejaculate; musky, salty, but definitely worth swallowing. Joe’s thighs trembled as Doc opened his mouth as far around the head of his cock as he could.

Warm flesh. It’d been at least two years since Doc had savored such a thing in his mouth. He rolled his tongue around as far as he could, picking up the nuances of Joe’s unique taste. Joe’s guttural moan spoke volumes and Doc remembered this wasn’t an experienced lover. Tilting his head, Doc stretched the limits of his lips, forming a tight hold just under the flare of the glans and sucked. He was rewarded mere seconds later with more than a mouthful of spunk.

“God’s, I’m so embarrassed.” Joe had covered his face with his arm.

“I think that takes the edge off nicely.” Doc sat up and licked his lips. Stretching out beside his lover, Doc removed Joe’s arm, so he could see his mate’s lovely face. “Put your arms around me,” he ordered quietly. “Learn how our bodies feel against each other.”

Joe’s groan as he did as he was told was heartfelt and scooted right through Doc’s body until it reverberated in his balls. Most shifters appreciated the benefits of touch. Doc, not so much, although as Joe wiggled and found their natural click, he was appreciating it now. Being a herd animal, he wondered how Joe coped with his self-imposed isolation. But it was a fleeting thought.

“We fit together perfectly,” he muttered as he catalogued their differences. Joe was broad across his chest and shoulders, but his arm fit snugly under Doc’s neck. Their torsos were similar lengths and their legs tangled with a surprising familiarity. Doc rubbed his cock along Joe’s length, taking care not to rub too hard. When Joe winced, Doc reached between them, tucking Joe’s cock between his legs.

“There’s nothing sexy about my inbuilt sandpaper I’m afraid,” he smiled.

“I think every inch of you is sexy.” Joe’s cheeks were bright red. He was staring at Doc’s lips and Doc mentally slapped himself. “Have you ever?” He skimmed Joe’s lips with his own.

“Not even that,” Joe whispered.

“Then let me lead. Breathe through your nose.” Doc sealed his lips over Joe’s, sucking and teasing first Joe’s full top lip and then his slightly fuller bottom one. Joe’s hands flailed over Doc’s back and then seemed to settle into a rhythm, mapping out both the smooth texture of Doc’s shoulders and ass, and the slightly rougher texture of his shifter skin. Doc tightened his thighs and Joe gave a few shallow thrusts. This boy’s a natural. He flicked his respectable nine inches to one side, so he could take advantage of the smooth grove of flesh along Joe’s hip bone and do a spot of rubbing of his own.

Licking Joe’s lips, the man opened to him beautifully and Doc was hard pressed not to moan like a two-dollar whore as he dipped his tongue inside. Just that simple touch seemed to spark a passion in Joe, and if Doc was honest, inside himself as well. Top, bottom? Top, bottom? Doc usually topped but this wasn’t about him. It was about Joe who’d spent his life since puberty worried he was something of a sexual freak. I sure hope this boy has got a ton of lube.

“Hmm, you taste delicious,” he said, pulling back from their kiss. “Have you got lube, or should I get some from my bag?”

Reaching under the pillow, Joe pulled out an almost new tube. “I use it to bring myself off,” he confessed.

“Like most men, I imagine.” Doc grinned as he took the tube offered.

“Did you want me to roll over?” Joe looked nervous, and there was a flash of elongated canine teeth peeking from his lips.

“Not this time, babe.” Doc put the lube on the bed and held Joe’s jaw in his hands. “Sometime soon I will be fucking your ass just as I’ve dreamed of doing for too many nights to count. But I want to show you that simply because you’re well-endowed, with care and patience you won’t hurt your partner.”

“But…but…your animal is stronger.” Joe looked conflicted.

“We’re not just our animals, babe. We’re human too. This human has a wide collection of sex toys I pleasure myself with. Usually thinking of you while I’m doing it. The only question I have for you is do you want to prep me, or would you prefer to watch?”

“I want to learn how to please you, if that’s okay? I’ve watched videos but….”

“Perfect, you’ve got some idea then.” Doc rolled over and pulled his knees under him, so his ass was in the air. “There’s not much you can do wrong here,” he added. “Just don’t push too hard. I’ll let you know with each finger when to add more.” Resting his head on his arms, Doc let out a long breath, so his body was completely relaxed, more than happy to let Joe explore.

Hot, thick fingers rubbed up and down his back, taking in everything from Doc’s neck to his butt cheeks and back again. With every pass Joe’s fingers got closer to his crack and Doc hid his smile as Joe became more focused on his lower body.

“It’s so small and tight.” A single finger brushed over Doc’s hole, sending a shiver up Doc’s spine.

“Babe, I’ve seen a man take two hands fisted, pounding in and out of his ass and more. Admittedly, it took a lot of grease, and a hell of a lot of time to work that guy open, but the body is amazingly adaptable.”

“Have you ever done that? Fisted someone, or had someone do it to you?” Joe’s breath skated across his hole and the ends of his hair tickled where they brushed against Doc’s butt cheeks.

“I’ve got centuries on you, babe. Anything I did like that was well before you were born.”

“I’ve seen videos. It just seems so incredible.” A tentative tongue dipped into his crack and Doc breathed a little faster. He let out a quiet moan, just to show encouragement, only to feel his butt cheeks pulled apart as Joe’s tongue got more insistent.

I don’t know what videos you’ve been watching my precious, but damn I hope you’ll watch them again with me.

Joe had been called a lot of things in his time and most of them weren’t complimentary, but anyone who knew him would agree he was a fast learner. Having Doc open to him like he was, was every fantasy Joe ever had come true. Joe didn’t have experience to fall back on, but he desperately wanted to make Doc feel good – to not regret having him as a mate. Doc’s scent was super concentrated along his crack, making Joe drool and he put that drool to good use, testing with his tongue, the tightness of the muscles around Doc’s hole.

When it came to that tight little hole, Joe knew what felt good to him. Of course, he couldn’t actually lick his own hole, but he understood how the ring of muscles worked, both externally and just inside the tight space. He alternated, using the flat of his tongue right over the hole until it loosened. Then he rolled his tongue, stabbing at the hole as he held the butt cheeks open.

Doc’s quiet moans and the way he wiggled, just a bit, against Joe’s hands, boosted his confidence. His own cock hung hot and heavy, bobbing against his leg, but Joe was more focused on bringing his mate pleasure. Smooshing his face right in Doc’s crack, freed up a hand and he reached under, touching another man’s cock for the very first time.

“Oh, my goodness, babe, you’re killing me here.” Doc’s voice was raspy with sex. “I’m gonna blow if you keep that up. Use the lube and get me ready.”

Pulling back, Joe wiped the excess saliva off his chin and reached for the lube. Squirting some on three of his fingers, He used his middle finger to test the softness of Doc’s guardian muscle. Doc exhaled as he pushed in and he bit the side of his lip at the warmth he felt inside. He couldn’t imagine what that would feel like around his cock, but he was desperate to know.

Later, Joe would thank Doc for making everything easy for him. One finger became two, then three, then four. Rather than push deep, Doc told him to spread his fingers wide in stages. Joe could hardly believe how relaxed his mate was under his attention. But when Doc announced, or rather panted, that he was ready, Joe was hit with an attack of nerves. He’d lived with the terror of hurting someone from the very first tease he got.

“You’ve done the hard bit, babe. Just don’t plunge. Ease your way inside.”

Grabbing his cock, Joe looked down at it, Doc’s hole and then up at the ceiling. Okay, there was nothing helpful up there. Shuffling forward on his knees, Joe held his cock about midway down the shaft and lined himself up and thrust with his hips. Immediately, the pressure around his glans made him groan. Even Doc’s mouth on him couldn’t compare.

Everything screamed at him to hold back and he did as he gently eased his way inside his mate. His animal half was a rampant creature full of force and power. But even he recognized the need to care for a mate. Doc was panting hard but rocking back, helping Joe as his cock was slowly engulfed in the heat of Doc’s body. When he’d finally gone as far as he could go he froze.

“Oh babe, you have no idea how delicious that stretch feels.” Doc tossed his head from side to side, his long hair brushing over his shoulders. “Just…just give me a minute, if you can. You’ll feel the pressure around you relax slightly and that will be your cue to move.”

I have to move? Joe was sure he’d blow if he moved one inch. But as he allowed his hands to gently run over Doc’s hips, his butt and the band of shifted skin, he took deep breaths to calm himself. Doc was his mate; a man he’d been in love with for two whole years. To have his body under his fingers now; to feel how tightly Doc’s body held his shaft captive; this was more than a dream come true. It was the start of a whole new life.

Doc started rocking against him and Joe let him set the pace. He wanted to do more, but it took all his energies not to fall over Doc’s back and rut like an animal. Must not hurt. Must not. But Doc took the decision out of his hands. Pushing back harder now, Joe got a thrill as he realized Doc was fucking himself on his dick and loving it. Wanting to enhance Doc’s pleasure he slipped his hand around his waist and down. Doc’s cock was easy to find and fit perfectly in his hand. Testing various pressures, Joe let Doc fuck his hand, while he fucked his ass, letting his various groans guide him.

His balls tingled, and his own butt clenched. Joe knew he was close. The smell of their sex rose up between them and before Joe knew what he was doing, his hips were moving, faster and faster with every thrust.

“Yes. Yes.” Doc flicked his hair to one side, tilting his head and exposing the lean lines of his neck. Now, Joe’s animal half pushed forward and this time he let him. As Doc met him thrust for thrust, Joe leaned over as far as he could. The brush of Doc’s shifter skin teased his gut as his teeth found their mark.

Doc yelled, whether it was a curse or a compliment, Joe didn’t know. All he knew was this was the moment he’d been waiting for. He watched with his inner eye as buffalo and Komodo spirits stalked around each other and then brushed together melding as a permanently joined pair. Joe could almost feel the chilly strength of his mate’s ancient animal warming against his own, but then he snapped back to his earthly form as his orgasm hit. Sticky warmth coated his fingers as he gently disengaged his teeth, licking over the wound he left with pride.

Giving into his instincts, Joe gathered his mate in his arms and rolled them both, so they were lying on their sides. He buried his nose in Doc’s hair, his body still tingling with the strength of his release. Doc’s hands came up, resting on his forearms as he pushed his whole body back, as keen for their connection as he was.

“Thank you, my mate. That was everything I dreamed my claiming would be,” Doc said softly and within a few seconds Doc’s breathing evened out and his body slumped.

For Joe, he wanted to savor the moment just a minute longer. His cock was softening, and he knew he needed to get up and find a washcloth. But for the moment, he had his mate in his arms and he wanted to wallow in the feeling of peace that gave him. Doc was certainly worth the wait.
