spent with that monster.” Carl never elaborated on what exactly happened to him while in the care of his alpha but Jake had a pretty good idea. He also didn’t want to get confirmation from Carl or he’d run straight to Tobias’s house and kill the man as he slept, inevitably putting them all at risk.

“I know but I still feel stupid. Yes my brother had been taken by a man who loves to inflict pain on others and it’s eating me up inside that I can’t save him but I still should have figured it out.” Carl sat silent for a few minutes then turned to face him. “I also never had a dream like that before. The touch, smell, and feel of your body were so vivid and real. I couldn’t control myself and I’m not sorry for biting you.” Carl turned his attention toward the darkened woods. “It was like I felt something snap into place inside me.” He grabbed his chest.

He used his fingers to slowly turn Carl to face him again. “That’s because we are mates.” Jake slowly leaned forward, giving Carl time to stop him but he didn’t. Jake lightly brushed his lips over Carl’s and reveled in the soft fullness. A groan seeped past his lips and he moved even closer, crushing Carl to his chest.

Carl twined his arms around his neck. His mate kissed with such timidness that made Jake hunger to show him what it meant to be loved properly by one’s mate. He didn’t want Carl to be shy or fearful that he’d embarrass himself. They would both make mistakes and at times stumble and fall. But he needed Carl to know he’d never leave him.

They kissed for a while longer and Jake could feel his cock swell to painful proportions. Jake wiggled his ass where he sat on the ground trying to find a comfortable spot. Carl still sat clinging to him. Jake had to think the man was just as uncomfortable as he was.

He placed one more light kiss to Carl’s swollen lips then moved back. “Would you be okay with lying back on the ground? My legs are killing me.”

“Sure.” Carl moved so that Jake could lie down first then he snuggled close once Jake got situated.

The atmosphere seemed so romantic as they snuggled close under the stars. They were sharing their mating with nature. Something that pleased Jake’s wolf. The longer they lay there Jake started to wonder what exactly took part in Carl’s dream. He lightly combed his fingers through Carl’s hair. “So if you don’t mind me asking what happened in your dream that had you biting me?” He wanted to facepalm himself. Could there have been a less suave way to ask that?

“In my dream you told me you would never hurt me.” Carl didn’t seem to mind Jake’s bluntness. “Then you told me how beautiful I was and to never hide from you.”

Jake had to agree with his dream self. So far it sounded like stuff he would say.

“Then we were both naked laying on what felt like fluffy clouds.” Carl propped up on his elbow and gazed down at him. “Then we made love. You were so gentle and caring. I couldn’t believe someone was cherishing me so kindly.”

“Oh, baby.” He guided Carl back to lie on his chest. “I wasn’t in your dream so I can’t say with one-hundred-percent certainty that it will be exactly like that but I’ll spend the rest of my life trying my damndest to give you that.”

Carl placed a finger over Jake’s lips. “You already have.”

Jake rolled over on top of Carl. The hunger in his mate’s eyes spoke to his soul and his wolf demanded he give his mate pleasure. He had never been with another man before but his instincts took over. It was as if his body knew how to please its mate.

He kissed Carl until he was gasping for air then slowly worked his way down his mate’s body. Through the layers of clothes Carl wore Jake could still feel his mate’s bones where they stuck out to pronounce from his body. Once they rescued Casper, Jake was going to make sure both the brothers received the care they needed and all the food they could ever want. Both brothers were in desperate need of gaining some weight. It wasn’t healthy to be so thin.

Carl’s body trembled and his breathing picked up the lower Jake went. He shoved up the material that hung over Carl’s stomach and kissed the heated skin. Carl’s abdomen quivered as Jake tongued his navel. Jake sat back on his knees and fumbled with the fastening on Carl’s jeans. Finally he was able to free the snap and parted the zipper. He glanced up to see Carl staring back at him. Carl chewed on his lower lip and Jake could see the uncertainty playing across his face.

“I promise I won’t hurt you,” Jake reassured. “I just want to see you.”

Carl gave a jerky nod and Jake pulled back the rough denim. His mate’s cock pushed at the waistband of his briefs and Jake could smell his arousal where it damped the material. Jake dipped down and inhaled the wild scent of Carl’s pre-cum. He sucked around the coarse fabric trying to take in all Carl’s tangy goodness.

A low, steady growl began deep in his chest and Jake’s fingernails started to grow. He used the tip of his forefinger to slice the briefs down the center. Carl’s cock lay heavy against his hip. The moonlight hit the reddened skin and Jake traced each and every thick vein with his eyes. He needed a taste.

Before Carl could protest, he leaned down and swallowed down his mate’s velvety hardness. Carl cried out and his hands went to grip Jake around the ears. The action caused a bite of pain to make his eyes water but he didn’t stop. He licked, sucked, and nibbled along Carl’s shaft. He filed away every
