His breath was coming from him in growling pants, his skin seemingly glowing with a sheen of sweat from his efforts, and there were small droplets of blood from where Gabe had scratched across his back. That sting only enhanced the pleasure that coursed through him, and he felt so in control and powerful knowing this strong and able man was his mate. They were in this together, now more than ever.

Their bodies complimented the motions of the other, and he drove harder so there was an audible slap of their bodies together, another warning to others not to come close.The slick from Gabe was already streaking his thighs, claiming him in a scent as he pounded his omega into the mildly protesting mattress.

For the last few moments, he shifted his arms so he was completely laying over Gabe, skin-on-skin even as his hips continued a rolling snap forward and backwards. His hands moved down to grasp at Gabe's thighs, pulling them further apart so he could heave his way harder as his knot grew, making it more and more difficult to push his way in, adding that final stimulation he needed.

He climaxed with a howl of pleasure, driving himself in passed that ring of muscle so he was buried so to stem, and his knot swelled earnestly as his seed began to flow. With a twist of his hips, he locked them together by setting the knot that had fully swelled, and it was tight and so hot that sparks seemed to explode behind his eyes as he rode shallowly through his orgasm, little thrusts of his hip as the knot would allow.

And all the while, his abs stroked Gabe's own impressive cock. "Gabe... God Gabe...."

[gr1m]

He let Jack have his way, too. More than happy to feel all that he could give, arching and keening under him as claws raked along his back, fingers trembling a bit in his hair as they still curled tightly there. Be no missing just how intensely his thighs trembled when that hold was taken of them to keep him nice and spread, all for the taking. Couldn't breathe without letting out a moan, head fallen back as he rode it all.

The moment he felt that knot lock in him Gabriel shuddered, grinding a bit as he seemed to slow his hips just a moment.

Once it seemed like Jack was hitting a bit of a lull, thrust shallow small, Gabriel dug claws in harder and without dislodging that knot he rolled the both of them over. Straddling Jack and seating all of his weight down on to him with a rocking grind. Let hi claws drag down Jack's chest as Gabriel looked thoroughly pleased with himself, still deep in that heat of his. Lips curling enough to bare teeth-

"Going to fucking... ride your knot," Panting, eyes a little wild yet focused down on Jack. Letting his hips roll so both of them could feel just how deep Jack was locked in him. Clenching around that knot. "See how much seed you can pour in to me, Alpha-" Using it like a pet name as his voice was horse, making tat purr all that much more deep.

He hadn't cum yet, but damned if Gabriel wasn't still enjoying this, and he would soon enough with how the tip of his cock leaked.

[dadication]

He was helpless to the stimulation, claws on his back pinpoints of heat against his already feverish feeling skin. His shallow thrusts continued, trying with his abs to stimulate his omega to orgasm as well, even if right now, his own pleasure had flooded him to the point of being rather useless for the moment.

Maybe that was why there was no fight as he was suddenly rolled to his back, eyes snapping open as he found himself straddled and the omega riding his cock and knot. It was his turn to mewl as those hips moved over him, and his hands shifted so that they were grasped Gabe's hips, encouraging those motions as his hips rolled and thrust in response.

"Yes... ride me," he hissed in pleasured delight, sparks of stimulation keeping him zeroed in on all of this. He arched the small of his back at that pet name, like a brand and a claim he hadn't thought of experiencing until that very moment. "Fill you up... you'll be so full of me in all ways," he growled back

One hand slipped from Gabe's hip to stroke over his belly pointedly, his own claws dragging across hard impressive abs while his other hand moved to grasp his omega's cock to stroke it in time with the way that Gabe rode him. "My omega... most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes on."

[gr1m]

That's right, all eyes on him. Craving that attention and purring under that alone if it were possible in the moment, so incredibly pleased by having Jack watching as he sat up on him. Hands rested on his chest as a braze, leaving marks to match the alpha's back as he pleased. Feeding on every little thing as if it would help to further soothe that heat burning through him, rather than keeping it stoked enough to not burn him alive.

Hips rolled, grinding down and clenching around Jack's knot as he moaned, leaning in to those hands as they caught his hip and grasped. Riding what movements that he managed on his back as Gabriel kept taking his fill. As much as was willingly being given to him.

Shuddering at words even, not able to lift in movements with how locked in place he was by that knot, and not even caring. He was happy to rock and grind on him and feel just how large and hot it was inside of him, that sensation of being filled with Jack's seed, base instincts so damned pleased by it all.

"Fill me up full," growled, a pleased purr mixed with it, grinding against Jack's hand around his own cock for that extra stimulation as he arched. Pressed against that hand on his stomach as well, "Show me." A demand to be shown, almost, begging to be filled so full as if to prove that point.

[dadication]

It was quite a sight from where he was laid out on his back, aware he could fight to roll them over, but why would he? Gabriel was gorgeous glowing with sweat, flushed with heat and clearly hungry for everything that he had to give. He also couldn't help admire how damn hot it was that his omega was willing to just take it from him too, that little physical power struggle he always appreciated could happen between himself and Gabe during spars.

His hips flexed and hitched upwards, grinding and shifting the knot just a little. No hope in removing it while it was so swollen unless both of them wanted to suffer damage. He hissed in delight to the raking of those claws over his chest, pressing his skin to those fingers, and his stroking hand on his new lover's cock gave a little squeeze.

"I will," he said, spoken like a breathless promise. With their heat and rut lining up like this, he knew they would be mating over and over for hours, possibly days. How long hadn't exactly been tested, and he didn't entirely care while in the moment either. All that was important was pleasing his omega, bringing Gabe to orgasm over and over until the older man was a boneless sated mess full of his seed and possibly bearing his mark.

"When I'm done with you, you'll be so full of me it will be all you can taste and think of," he remarked, stroking Gabe's cock with determination but also curiosity as he learned what his omega liked best. "Our pups will be many and strong." It was just rutting word vomit, as logically he didn't expect anything of the sort out of their union.

[gr1m]

He leaned forward, letting claws rake down Jack's chest and over his own torso, down towards his sides. All the better for Gabriel to lean over him, keeping up that rocking grind of hips on his knot and press against his stroking hand. His own cock practically weeping, but with how long he'd been going out of frustration kept him holding out a little longer. All the better for his heat dazed mind to—

"Can't help but want to see me filled to the brim with your seed, can you?"

—Still speak. To let his voice drop deep and dripping with promise, honeyed sweet even with his moans. His whines whenever that cock buried and lock in deep stroke against that bundle of nerves, had his thighs trembling. Every nerve alight with pleasure and burning hear. Little over his lips as he spoke against Jack's ear, letting him hear every noise and word.

"Fuck me so full that the only thing keeping it in is your knot," heat brained and all, Gabriel was so willing to stroke ego as part of it all. "Get me drunk off of it, off of you," as if he wasn't already with how intense his heat had hit him, "Breed me to the point there'd be no denying they were yours."

[dadication]

His body pressed to the claws, feeling the raised welts that developed as they passed, and he even dropped his head back to the bed even as his shoulders lifted. His hips continually moved to bounce Gabe on his cock, keeping the stimulation going between them, the heat, the claim and that tightness. All the while, his hand never ceased to stroke the omega's weeping cock, his fingers slick with the pre-cum, making it even easier.

"I do," he agreed, showing his teeth, not as a threat but a proposition of his own. "And you riding me like this makes it clear you want that too."

An elbow dug into the mattress, pushing himself up easily so he could have those lips next to his ear, desperate to listen to the sultry sound of his heat-heavy voice. His mouth turned so he could suck and kiss Gabe's neck, tasting the slick of sweat and all the hormones that came with it. The raised bonding gland was obvious, and he could easily bite it, seal the deal, make them together long-term, but he didn't. He wanted it differently, later when they were so deep into each other they couldn't think of anything else.

And that ego stroking just made him stroke Gabe's cock harder, faster. "Your belly will be full of me," he agreed. SEP gifted them in intense stamina. He nipped sharply at the acknowledgement of breeding this omega. "Would you carry my pups? Enjoy the feel of them kicking and twisting inside of you, reliant on you? Our litter."

[gr1m]

"More than anything," in that very moment at least. Mind screaming to be filled, all the better chance for it taking so it thought, even knowing that even if the suppressants for his heat didn't work the part that should still be would likely prevent that.

Didn't reach that part of his heat addled brain however, still wanted it, and hell it'd still feel damned good and soothe the heat a tiny bit once he was. Drove him to keep his hips moving and ride every bounce and move. Hips keeping angled then so that he felt every brush and press to his prostate. Claws digging enough to nearly draw blood as thighs trembled, squeezing tighter against Jack's sides.

Tipped his head, exposing that side of his neck to Jack, Gabriel encouraging every brush of lips and even teeth, tongue. Whatever it was being offered he'd drink up just as greedily- "Yes," he'd carry them. Maybe even enjoy it, "You see me round out, soft, knowing it was because you filled me with your brood," and take some joy out of that.

Claws dug harshly in to his sides suddenly as Gabriel's hips jerked, a low keen the only warning when he did finally clench that much tighter around Jack's knot once he came. Spilling over that stroking hand, but he never stopped rocking- "Fuck me through it!" Yet another demand.

[dadication]

Being in rut sort of short-circuited the logic of their physicality and the fact they were both on different suppressants to make them more acceptable for combat. The problem was that it was all experimental and with their enhancements, he ran into the trouble that he could rut easily if around an omega he was attracted to. Apparently he'd have to report that when he wasn't absolutely gone to the wind for Gabe.

So it didn't enter in his mind nor did he care to think about the limitations of their hormone levels that all this talk about breeding was for nothing. The fact was he hadn't thought much about it before this moment of heat and rut, hadn't considered it in the cards for himself. He was, after all, attracted to other men, which made breeding null and void, but science of course made things interesting. And he felt the burn of want almost as strongly as the need to mate Gabe over and over again for as long as their heat and rut lasted together.

Blood did ooze from some of the claw marks, causing him to shiver but not protest. After all, he was sucking over one of the bonding glands on Gabe's neck, getting drunk on the taste of it. All the while, he continued to bound the omega on his cock, growling in pleasure as he tried - and technically failed - drive himself deeper, loose more of his seed in the process.

"I will fill you with my brood," he promised, hand stroking over Gabe's muscled abs as if he could sense it happening now. He hissed in delight as those claws dug into his flesh, feeling the pinpricks of pain and his nostrils flaired as the omega's walls clamped tight on his cock, earning a new shout of delight.

His hand stroked Gabe's cock to spread that seed all over his abs and hand, letting the omega claim him as his free hand moved to clamp on Gabe's hip in a bruising fashion as he did exactly as he was ordered. He sat up to give himself more leverage and thrust hard, driving his cock and his knot the little that he could, driving it against that bundle of nerves over and over. "Mine," he hissed and it felt like his knot swelled just a touch more in the process.

[gr1m]

Arms wrapped around the back of Jack's neck when he sat up, pulling him closer, chest pressed to chest, and all the better to bounce on the cock locked by its knot in him. Sent shudders along his spine, legs wrapped around Jack as well as Gabriel gave in to the feeling of his own orgasm. Crying out even, face buried against the man's neck without muffling the noises. Claws once more raking over his back.

Better than he could have hoped for just moments ago when all he had was some dildo supplied to him by the nurses when he was sent to the room he shared with his roommate. No further concern for what he was suddenly having to go through.

Hips rocked, grinding as if he was trying to milk Jack's cock for all it could give- "Please." Please what? Please don't stop? Please fuck me for all you're worth? Who even knew, because it was just a mewled noise as far as Gabriel as concerned, lost in it all.

They were going to be locked together for a good while, too.

[dadication]

Once Gabe was well and truly in the throes of orgasm and those muscled legs curled around his hips, he moved his hand out from between them so he could set it on the hip currently left lonely, smearing some of the omega's seed there. He pressed in close, using his abs to keep stimulating the cock trapped between them as he continued to thrust them through this, panting and growling as he did so.

His arms finally wrapped their way around the middle of Gabe's back, sealing their chests together as this hip motions began to slow to a gentle roll. His hands spread across the omega's shoulders, and he came in gentle with little kisses on neck and cheeks, finding Gabe's lips as if to assure him that any pleas would be answered.

His knot was still full and tight, locking them together for many minutes. After a time, a tiny bit of clarity returned so he could think for more than two percent of his brain, not that it helped as he was rut-drunk, deeply lustful of this handsome and strong creature in his lap.

"I've got you," he breathed. "Take good care of you, Gabriel."

[gr1m]

He sunk in to that kiss the moment lips pressed against his, fingers curling in to Jack's hair as if Gabriel needed to keep his head there. The kiss sloppy but needy, lips even parting with a little whine as he wiggled in that lap, all the more stimulation on that knotted cock. Didn't want to lose that feeling, and just about any movement would be enough to remind them both just how deeply it was buried in him. That was just another thing that pleased that basic omega instinct, the size of it so very telling of just how virile this alpha was.

Any breeding with him would create strong and healthy pups, and the thought had a great and thunderous purr rumbling in Reyes' chest. No matter how impossible it was now that anything could take with the birth-control added in to his daily supplements. The damned heat suppressant had failed at the very least.

Once the heat was over enough to not be drunk off of everything that could be thought about and worried over later.

Right now he was very damned content in the lap of an alpha that was such a wonderful mate who could take good care of him. "Need you," breathed against skin, inhaling that mixed scent of heat and rut along with everything that was purely Jack. Nuzzling against the side of his neck, sucking at skin to taste him, too.

[dadication]

It was obvious how restless and needy his omega partner was going to be, and he had no doubt that his own instincts over that would kick in again. He was desperate to satisfy, to keep Gabe happy, healthy and sated during this heat. It was his duty as his chosen alpha, and it was the first stepping stone of creating a foundation to both a relationship beyond heat and rut as well as to make it clear that he was a good alpha, capable and willing to take care, provide and rise to the occasion.

He shifted his weight, pulling himself back further on the bed so Gabe's legs would hang off at any point. The act of it shifted his cock, a little shallower and then deeply buried again. He groaned throatily, feeling another small well of heat course up his cock to Gabe. Birth control or no, his body was making every effort to overcome all obstacles.

After all, the alpha side of him had already instinctively reasoned that a failing of the suppressants meant to keep their hormones stable had failed them both, as this situation made clear. It simply convinced the lizard part of his brain that his seed could take, that it would require more efforts, new positions and continual attention to increase his chances of success.

He had already decided Gabriel Reyes would look amazing carrying a litter. Rounded belly held up and well with that amount of muscle the omega sported. Yes, it would be good.

He kissed his omega over and over, his hands starting to stroke soothingly up and down Gabe's back. He tipped his head to allow the omega access to his neck, trusting and so deeply infatuated with the omega right now. Give him anything he wanted. "Not going anywhere. This is just the beginning... we'll mate until both of us is incoherent for anything but one another names."

[gr1m]

Gabriel clung to Jack, legs still wrapped around him as thighs trembled, nosing just under his jaw, inhaling him with every breath that nearly made his eyes roll back. He was deep, deep in to his heat and he wouldn't be coming back up until it was nearly over, could feel it as he tried in vain to fuck himself with a toy just at the start of it- but that was okay now. No longer having to deal with it alone.

He keened at that new burst of heat, not able to help himself as he clenched around that knot again. Wanting every last drop that could be given to him- "Want you to fuck me in to this mattress," even if he was out of breath, Gabriel goddamn Reyes was still making demands. "Cover and coat my ass and thighs in slick and your cum," grinding a little with that word as if to make his point clear, as if it wasn't already.

"Love your knot," purred in to his ear as lips brushed against it, head tilted just so, pressed that much closer against Jack. "How much do you think you can give me, just on this one?" A nip at Jack's earlobe, tugging a bit. "Think it'll be enough to leak when you do finally pull out? Get to see just how well you've filled me up before going to do it over, and over, and over...?"

Hell, he was barely registering half of what he was saying, but that damned purr was still dripping from his tone.

[dadication]

Jack couldn't help himself as his hands roamed over Gabe's shoulders and back, memorizing that expanse of skin that he had been watching since they had met. He definitely enjoyed feeling those thighs against his hips, little thrusts still moving them together. He liked to think that he was much, much better than any lame toy.

He huffed softly, kissing at Gabe's jawline even as a shiver ran down his spine. He added a nip to the older man's jaw. "Oh, I will. More than once," he murmured huskily, using his nose to nuzzle. His brain went momentarily fuzzy at the words, the slow drain of his high suddenly jumping up again as he dragged a hand down and gripped an asscheek in his hand, massaging that flesh in hand as he gave a renewed thrust. "Our cum... we will cover each other. Claim each other."

Because this was a give and take, alpha and omega.

He smirked at the question, both hands now on the older man's ass, massaging as he nipped in return. A sigh left him at the tug to his earlobe. "Probably, especially if gravity has its way with you," he said and then rolled them so that Gabe was back underneath him on the mattress. "As much as I want to see how much will leak... keeping you filled up is just as hot, and I have plenty left to give."

He gave a hard thrust, shifting his knot. Soon enough, it would soften and he expected their hormones to rise again soon enough. "Over and over and over and over..." he murmured, kissing the older man's jawline. "My omega... I'll make certain you'll never look anywhere but me after this."

[gr1m]

So much better than some damned toy.

Did purr at the massaging, leaning heavily against Jack as if melting against him at that extra bit of contact. Thoroughly enchanted with this alpha at the moment, hanging on every touch and word, licking over his lips slowly. "Mine... and yours," Claimed. His Alpha—

He whined as his back arched again, letting Jack do as he pleased as once against he was on his back, legs still wrapped around and a heel pressing against the small of his alpha's back. "I want everything you have to give me, Alpha," and once again using it more as some claiming pet name than anything else, letting hips angle and rock as he tilted his head back. Bared is throat in some show of submission, trying to be as enticing as possible, even when locked together as they were.

Cried out, back arching sharper, claws digging in against Jack's upper back- "Knot me over and over and over, want you to breed me," and didn't even give a single thought to how damned ridiculous he sounded, letting the heat brain talk for him, "All yours."

[dadication]

"Mine and yours," he agreed, rolling his hips shallowly.

He definitely could get used to Gabe pinned down to the mattress, though he had so many other ways he wanted the omega. Right now, feeling those legs around him, heel digging in caused his hips to press up towards them. "I will give you everything that you want, anything you ask of me and it's yours," he said, nuzzling Gabe's neck, kissing and licking. He took his time sucking a mark into that neck.

He growled at the demand, flexing his hips as if proving that he was very much considering that request. He leaned down and kissed the older man on the lips, hungrily taking them as their own. "Yours."

[gr1m]

A dangerous sort of promise, that. Even during heat, that could be so very dangerous, but it stroked something perfectly that Gabriel was more than happy to sink in to a more submissive role for the moment. Didn't have to fight if he wanted control, not with words like that and the show of earlier as he rode on that knot still locked so nicely in him. Even if soon it would go down, would get to have it again.

Would get to have the alpha all to himself all over again. "Mine," to have and to lavish with his own attentions when the time came to it.

Gabriel kept his throat bared, moaning out as claws were happy to bury in against Jack's back, going over marks already scratched over skin. "Such a good, good Alpha," purring, rolling his hips in a way that tugged at Jack's knock and clenched around him as he spoke, "Excellent Alpha." Purred praises.

[dadication]

A promise made all the same because he was rut-drunk and anything to show his dedication and strength of character to be a provided was important. He wanted to give Gabe everything right now, even if it didn't even involve leaving this room for the next several days. He also knew that their dominance at any given time would wax and wane as they wanted it to. Already, their relationship had never been about dominance but working together for a common purpose.

He nuzzled Gabe's neck, blowing cool air across the sweaty skin as a contrast to all the heat. A few smaller thrusts of his hips in their new position, and he made a noise as his knot began to subside. It wouldn't last long, of course. Just their refractory periods, which should line up fairly well.

"Yours," he agreed, not even needing a bonding bite to prove it. He shivered as the sensitive and mildly damaged skin was touched, bowing his head into the hallow of Gabe's throat at the praises. He was slowing his breath down from panting and eased to laying over the omega beneath him. "My beautiful and strong omega..."

[gr1m]

A little rest before they started again, no where near the end of it, but even they did need a chance to recover. Swallowing a little thickly as Gabriel sought out Jack's scent, marking him like that in a way by rubbing his own against skin, sweat slicked and hot as the both of them were. Already a mess of cum combined with that, but he couldn't find it in him to are just yet; soon he would, but that would come then and only then.

For now he was petting over skin and scratches, hips rolling little by little as if to sort of ease the both of them with how Jack's knot was going down. No shock of a sudden loss, needing that little motion himself, soothing in a way. Crooning a little, even.

"Have so much more to look forward to," shivering a bit, letting his tongue lap over skin he could reach. "Not done with such a wonderful and strong alpha yet."

[dadication]

His fingers stroked over Gabe's sides and along the portions of arms that he could reach, and he hummed in pleasure to being touched similarly, as if they were getting to know each other on a brand new level. He dipped his head so that Gabe could scent him and mark him with scent, and even with the thick smell of sex hanging around him, it was only enough to ward off others from interfering. It wasn't that soft, affectionate scenting that was so important to establish the bonds they were looking for together.

Once he had softened and his knot had completely subsided, he shifted his hips aside and then moved to roll to the side of his omega. They had made quite a mess, and it didn't bother him at all, even if maybe it should. No, he leaned down to kiss down Gabe's chest, nuzzling with his chin and cheeks as he went. "Going to take good care of you, Gabriel. Everything you'll need."

He dragged his fingers through the mess of his omega's cum, flicking his tongue and then sucking on those finger tips. He shivered and nestled closer to Gabe's side, protective and affectionate.

[gr1m]

Needed to have his scent mixed with Jack's outside of the thick and heavy scents of sex, heat, and rut; no doubt anyone passing by their door would get a whiff of it. They'd hear about it once this was done- or at last Jack might, most didn't dare comment to him about these things after he'd flattened a few who tried to impose dominance over him when they found out he wasn't an alpha himself. Deal with all of that after, unimportant. What was important was that satisfied purring once Jack did smell more like him.

In turn he smelled more like Jack, and that too greatly soothed a part of him. The heat not lessening a bit, but at the very least he was soothed, not so desperate and frustrated. Even if he whined at the loss of being filled, squirming a little as thighs pressed together, he was eager to press closer to Jack at his side.

Let him touch, fingers of a handle tangled in blond hair, shuddering as Gabriel watched through lidded eyes. "So glad you came," even if he didn't damn well remember when or think of why he was alone and then just suddenly Jack was there. All that mattered was he was there now.

[dadication]

He wasn't thinking about how he would hear about it, how he would be ribbed for bedding the Commander of the SEP soldiers and how had he even done it? He didn't care about any of that because at the end of the day, Gabriel was his mate and also his friend. For an alpha, he was more laid back with his dominance, only taking that step with it was necessary. And right now, the most important act of dominance was guarding his omega and making certain that Gabe was safe and comfortable.

He nestled down next to Gabe, resting his chin on the older man's chest and cuddling him. He tipped his head towards that touch even as his fingers lightly ran over Gabe's belly, smearing the mess they had made together in the process. Not minding in the least.

"So glad I came," he agreed, closing his eyes for a moment as he invested more to listening for signs anyone might be near. He realized, enjoying the post-coital haze even if that itch to mate again lingered at the back of his consciousness. "Also glad you accepted me as your mate."

[gr1m]

For all the world and purpose, those who couldn't have read his medical files would have believed Gabriel Reyes to be an Alpha himself. His attitude and the way he carried himself screamed it, the way even a look from him could cow anyone on the wrong end of it. Been long believed during all of his military career thanks mostly to the suppressants he took, they helped him in a lot of ways medically, too. Few knew or even cared what he was- until they did.

His scent gave him away, however. Always had whenever someone was close enough to catch it, or it was strong nearing the time when his heat was supposed to hit and passed without much fanfare. Reyes was used to having to step up harder because of it, and even took advantage of the allure it could give him in tight situations; or just flattening someone who let their hormones cloud their brain. Opinions going wit it.

Jack had been a breath of fresh air, never mattered to him, and Gabriel felt like he could relax around him more than anyone else. Wasn't it just logical then that he was the Alpha best for him? Could care for his needs, but there'd be no fight for dominance unless it was wanted. Felt so secure, and how he was softened now showed that.

He tugged a bit at Jack's hair, that haze of his heat so damned nice for the moment, heat and fuck drunk in the best of ways. "Could be no one else but you." Those words were purred, filled with praise in a way.

[dadication]

Jack had known once he had first sparred with Gabe once he had undertaken the SEP treatments. The scent had been subtle, but he had known it immediately and it didn't matter in the least to him. Gabe's sense of duty, his dry humor, his leadership and his personality were the only thing that he cared about. Honestly, he would have admired and potentially slept with Gabe even if the older man had been alpha.

He supposed he could blame his ma for that. She was a fiesty strong omega who imprinted that it was the quality of person rather than their scent that made them worthwhile. Maybe she knew early on that he was different, that he would attach himself to men over women in a sexual fashion. She probably thought she needed to prepare him for the inevitability that his chosen mate would be male and an alpha. Boy would she be surprised.

Gabriel had been deeply attractive to him the first moment he laid eyes on the man. Couldn't help it. His attraction had only deepened the more time they spend together chatting, joking, sparring and training.

And now? Well he tipped his head to the tugging in his hair, rumbling low in his chest and slid his arm all the way across Gabe's hips, holding him close and securely. "Feel the same way. Always wanted it to be you since the first time I laid eyes on you." However, now that he was rested, sated momentarily and cuddling, he also knew he had other duties that required his attention before their next time mating.

"You okay if I leave you for a minute to go to the bathroom?"
