Tortured Mate (Sassy Ever After Universe #62)(19)

“Now, if you don’t mind let’s get back to more important topics.” She said as they all suddenly appeared back in Barbara’s cabin. “Valac, I’d like to begin training next week after you’re rested and all your power is fully restored. A good dose of your mate will do you wonders. In the meantime, I’ve got to go deal with Aeron and his temper tantrum.”

Rogue couldn’t hide his growl as the Goddess disappeared leaving only a soft echo of her laughter behind. He suddenly felt exhausted, as the day's events finally hit him. He’d come out of the closet all over again in a manner. He didn’t have to hide from his mate anymore. They could begin to build a life together.

He was startled out of his thoughts as Valac stood and offered his hand, “Remember your promise to me?

“To never let you sleep alone?”

“Yes, even if it was for a nap. I’m exhausted, come lie down with me. I know it’s only been one night, but I think I’m already addicted to having your arms around me as I sleep. And yes, I know you shifted last night and held me. I felt the stirring of magic in the air and knew what it meant. Thank you for that, by the way.”

“Lead the way, love. I’ll follow you anywhere.”

He wasn’t sure how much time had passed since they’d laid down. Rogue had dozed off and on while Valac slept like the dead wrapped in his arms. He’d never felt such contentment as he did in that moment.

“Rogue, are you awake?”

“Yes, Valac’s not though. What do you need, Cadence?”

“I’ve finally found the missing ingredient I’ve been searching for. It’s in Scotland. Will you two stay here and watch my place until I get back?”

“Of course, how could we say no after all you’ve done for us. When do you leave?”

“Now, my ride is waiting. I’ll be gone for a couple of weeks, but if you need me for anything Barbara knows how to reach me. Keep my brother safe, while I’m gone.”

“Always, have a safe trip.”

“What’s going on?” Valac asked with a yawn. “Did I hear a door slam?”

Rogue explained about Cadence’s unexpected trip and how they were now house sitting. Which worked out great since Rogue really didn’t have a place to call his own that would fit him and Valac. He rented a room that was hardly bigger than a walk-in closet. At the time it fit, but now that he had his mate, they were going to need a house to call their own.

“Does this mean we can finish what we started earlier outside with my bucket list?”

He didn’t wait for Valac to finish his sentence before he had him flipped onto his back. He groaned as he stretched out on top of his mate and their cocks rubbed together.

Valac gasped, “That feels amazing.”

Rogue grinned, “You haven’t even begun to feel amazing yet” he said right before he leaned down to nuzzled Valac’s neck. “I think you’re wearing too many clothes for this to work properly.”

In the next instant, they were both naked as the day they were born. “What the fuck?” Rogue exclaimed. “How in the hell?”

“I’m a witch, I can do all kinds of things that will blow your mind.”

“Babe, haven’t you heard I’m the big bad wolf. I’m the king of blowing, just you wait and see.” Without preamble, Rogue leaned down and licked one of Valac’s nipples causing the man to arch off the bed with a deep moan of pleasure. “Like that do you?” He alternated between licking, sucking and nibbling on Val’s nipples until he was a quivering begging mess.

“What do you want baby?” Rogue asked as he moved slowly down his body laying kisses as he went. He stopped inches from his cock, “Is this what you want? My mouth here?” He asked as he lapped at the straining tip. “That’s the sweetest nectar I’ve ever tasted.” Without another word, he took Valac to the hilt.

“Holy fuck.”

Rogue laughed as he sucked harder. He loved the feel of his man’s hands in his hair urging him to move. He began to bob his head up and down, hallowing his cheeks with each pass. Soon, his mate was a blubbering mess, babbling incoherent nonsense. He quickly wet his finger and tapped at his entrance throwing his mate over the edge.

It was a good thing they were in the middle of the woods with no one around he thought absently as Valac screamed in pleasure. He continued to milk the throbbing cock in his mouth making sure he didn’t spill a drop. When his mate finally began to settle down he pulled off with an audible pop and pulled himself up to next to Val. “You okay, love?”

“I don’t know. I think I saw angels and they were jealous as hell.”

Rogue burst into laughter at those words. Never in a million years would he have expected that kind of response.

“We’re not done, are we?” Valac asked. “Because you haven’t marked me. I want to be yours forever.”

“Are you sure, you’re ready for that? You just found out we were mates a few hours ago.”

“I think I knew it the moment I saw you in that alley. Even then I knew there was something special about you. Besides if there’s one thing I’ve learned from all this, it’s too never put off anything. You never know what’s going to happen.”

“Okay, but I don’t have any lube.”
