Anthony s face lit up. Oh, he could see the way to his pretty boy s heart was
presents. He would have to make sure his mate received them on a regular basis.
Chuckling, he walked over to the dresser, pulling a key out of his pocket as he went.
He unlocked the top drawer and removed a slim bamboo box. Smiling, he brought
the box back to the bed, pleased to see an obedient lover lying on the bed waiting for
his next command.
Silver s cock went as hard as steel.  Damn, you re a beautiful man.
He watched with pleasure as Anthony crawled with sensuous grace to the
end of the bed before kneeling again. Damn, if he weren t hard before, that would ve
done the trick.
 You have something for me? He heard the satisfaction in Anthony s voice
but he let it slide. The man had a right to be proud.
He turned the box so the clasp was facing his lover. A flick of his thumb
popped the latch free. He opened the box toward Anthony, exposing a burnished
gold collar encrusted with diamonds and emeralds lying on a bed of red velvet. The
width of the band gave it the look of a torque from Ancient Egypt. Despite the
jewels, it exuded luxurious masculinity.
 Wow. Anthony reached out with one finger, brushing lightly across the
jewels as if afraid to touch it fully.
 You can hold it, baby. It s yours. Silver lifted it from its velvet bed,
dropping the box gently on the carpet so he could slide the necklace around his
mate s neck. Murmuring a few words, he engaged the locking spell. Without the
counter spell and a drop of Silver s blood, the collar was impossible to remove. It
would also provide Anthony with some magical protection, but he told his mate
none of that as he admired the glowing gold and jewels against the flawless skin.
 Perfect, he declared. It wasn t because his mate was so incredibly beautiful,
but because the look in Anthony s eyes said he thought Silver was.
 I want a mirror, Anthony said.
Silver helped Anthony off the bed and led him to the dresser mirror.  See.
 It s beautiful, the sleek blond said in a hushed voice. Silver noticed with
amusement that Anthony didn t even look at his own reflection. His eyes were on
the necklace.
 Yes, it is, he agreed, watching Anthony. He d saved the collar for two
hundred years to give it to the right man, and now he d found him. The presence of
the collar would proclaim Anthony as Silver s mate. To touch him would mean
death or dismemberment.
Silver felt a thrill of possession as he led his mate back to bed. Anthony lay
down beside him, snuggling into his embrace.
 Come live with me.
He felt Anthony s body jerk beside him.  I don t know, Silver. His mate s
heart hammered beneath him, and fear scented the air with a sour smell.
Silver laughed, he couldn t help it.  So, my being a were doesn t even stir
your pulse, but moving in with me causes a panic attack.
A flush ran up Anthony s body, Silver could almost feel the heat. Enchanting.
 I& I just think it s too soon.
Silver brushed a finger across a strip of bare flesh above the collar on
Anthony s neck.  I have already chosen you, may I mark you?
Anthony tilted back his head.  Please.
Silver lapped at his mate s neck, absorbing the scent and taste of the only man
he would ever be with again. Fangs knifed through his gums. Unable to ignore his
wolf s need to mark what was his, Silver plunged his fangs into the smaller man.
Wet heat, hot spice, and something that was inalienably his mate rolled across his
tongue. After a few more swallows, he removed his fangs from his lover s delicate
skin, licking carefully at the marks and knowing that, while in a few hours they
would completely disappear, his scent would remain embedded in his lover for
several weeks, weeks where his mark would scare off any werekin who wandered
too close to his man.
 That was amazing, Anthony said, his eyes wide with rapture.  You can bite
me anytime.
Silver laughed with relief. He d learned from other werekin that not all mates
appreciated a good mating bite. He was pleased that Anthony wasn t one of those.
 I ll keep that in mind, baby. I ll keep that in mind. Now probably wasn t the time
to tell his mate that he would be marked regularly to keep mate poachers away.
There were a few werekin who focused on trying to lure away those who were
already mated.
He hoped Anthony didn t mind having his freedom curtailed by bodyguards.
There was nowhere he was going alone now, except Silver s bed.
 Now bend over my knees and present me with that gorgeous ass of yours.
Anthony gave him an anxious look beneath his lashes, so pretty.
 Come on, baby. Don t make me wait. You made me wait a week before
agreeing to be my mate, and you deserve punishment. That collar says that I m the
only one allowed to discipline you.
In one smooth, well-practiced motion, his baby lay across his lap.
 Someone is used to being spanked.
 Not for a while, Anthony gasped.
Silver smoothed a hand over his mate s sweet ass, the one he d noticed that
very first night. His palm absorbed the smooth texture of his Anthony s silky skin
wrapped over a tight muscular butt.
 How often do you exercise, baby?
Silver could feel his lover s cock growing hard between his legs.
 Every morning.
 Keep up the good work. This is one of the finest asses I ve ever seen. And
he d seen a lot. Not that he was going to share that information with his mate.  I
want you to count. I m going to give you ten smacks, and if you miss, I won t fuck
you. It was a baseless threat. Nothing would stop him from fucking that fine ass,
but he wanted Anthony to try. This was the tamest of the things he would do to this
beautiful creature as he learned his mate inside out.
He swung down his arm, connecting to the pale, firm ass.
Lightning crackled around the room. He didn t know a storm was moving in.
 One. Anthony grunted.
Silver smacked his ass again. He flinched when a bolt of electricity crackled
by his foot.
 Sorry.
 You want to tell me about that, baby, before I get fried?
 I usually have better control. I told you it s been a while, Anthony
explained.
Silver flipped Anthony over until his bare ass hit the bed. Tilting up his
lover s face, he saw lightning flash in his eyes.
 That s incredible. A sense of awe came over the alpha. His mate wasn t just
a wood witch-fae, he was a force of nature.  Why do you do that?
Anthony looked down at his feet. One shoulder came up in a half-hearted
shrug.
 Don t lie to me, or I ll turn your ass into a ball of fire.
 My grandfather is Zeus, he mumbled.
Silver laughed. Laughed until his eyes watered and he realized his lover
wasn t kidding. That sobered Silver right up.  Like the one and only ruler of the
heavens?
Anthony nodded.
 Shit.
 Do you still want me?
Silver was certain he must have heard wrong.  Why wouldn t I want you?
Anthony shrugged.  Drew always had a problem with my control issues.
 I don t have a problem with them, honey. The beauty of mating with a
werewolf is that I can withstand a little bolt of lightning, but I ll make sure your ass
pays for each little jolt. Now back over my knee. With a quick glance at his face,
Anthony lay back over his knees. Silver scanned his lover s mind and felt his
anxiety.  What are you worried about? [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
