He wanted to growl when Tal pushed him away and shook his head.
"We have to find my sister," he stated firmly.
Blaze nodded. He understood the importance of family and would never try to keep his mate away from his sister. Blaze couldn't be so unfeeling and callous, but his wolf desperately needed to mark and claim their mate.
He'd send out word later for everyone to up their quest to find Tal's sister in order to make up for their… brief delay. "We will find her. I promise," Blaze reassured and lowered his lips again.
Tal's protests grew weaker and weaker when Blaze trailed his fingers along the skin of the younger man's back and over the curve of his ass.
Blaze licked a line from Tal's shoulder to his chin before he took his mate's lips with his own. The kiss started off gentle, a seductive meeting, but it didn't take long before the smell and taste of Tal caused Blaze's wolf to burst free. He ripped his shirt off over his head. Tal's hands worked at the black pants Blaze wore, attempting to shove them down. Blaze pulled Tal flush against his body and claimed Tal's lips again, stepping quickly out of the lowered pants and kicking them to the side. He never once broke the embrace. The kiss then became hard, hungry, and demanding, full of lips, tongues, and teeth. Tal whimpered and moaned, his erect cock sliding over Blaze's equally hard but much larger erection. Their combined pre-cum coated their shafts, making the movement much easier against each other.
Blaze wrapped his arms around Tal, his hands palming the globes of his ass before he circled the puckered entrance with one finger. He then lifted it up to Tal's mouth and groaned when the other man sucked the digit in deeply, coating it with his saliva. Blaze moved it back down to Tal's clenching channel and made a slow but deep insertion within the opening while his mouth devoured his mate's.
Tal moaned again, tearing his mouth away. "Blaze…" he panted, ready for more.
Blaze removed his finger from Tal's ass and grabbed onto one firm cheek with one hand and lifting his other to push his fingers into Tal's open mouth. If possible, Blaze grew even harder when the smaller man lapped at his fingers, making them slick with spit. Blaze returned to probe at Tal's hole and sucked in a harsh breath at the same moment Tal did, both enjoying the feeling of Blaze filling Tal's entrance with two of his fingers, stretching him into readiness.
"Fuck, love, you're so tight," Blaze rasped, before slowly thrusting a third digit deep inside his mate's hot, tight channel.
Tal's ass seemed to suck Blaze's fingers in and Blaze knew he absolutely had to be inside his mate soon. He needed to claim Tal and make them one.
He had never been as happy for the copious amounts of pre-cum all male Tumarons produced that allowed for easier penetration. It helped to have the self-made lubricant. Lifting Tal high into the air, Blaze grabbed the globes of his mate's ass, spread apart the cheeks, and slid the head of his eleven inches long, seven inches in diameter cock within the other man's pink star slowly. He groaned and pushed against the muscles that were clenching and unclenching and finally the head of his cock popped through. Tal yelled out from the intrusion and Blaze stopped for a moment. He would never do anything to hurt his mate, but it felt so godsdamn good to even have a tiny part of his cock inside of him. He shuddered when the first connection of his soul with Tal's occurred, savoring the feeling. When the muscles of the Tal's ass relaxed, he nodded for Blaze to keep moving and he pressed upwards, fully impaling his mate on his admittedly huge cock.
"Oh. God!" Tal yelled when Blaze filled him fully.
Blaze growled with passion but held himself immobile deep within his mate. He'd never felt anything like it. Tal's tight, hot entrance clutched his cock as if to never let him go and Blaze shuddered when the muscles fluttered around his erection. Tal felt like heaven wrapped up in a hot, velvet dream. Blaze became instantly hooked on the feeling of his mate's ass surrounding his cock.
"Move, dammit, move," Tal grunted, all coherent thought apparently gone from his mind.
Blaze lifted Tal and then lowered him back onto his shaft slowly and walked towards the wall. Thrusting deeply into the younger man, Blaze pressed him against the wall and pulled out slowly. His movements quickly grew frantic, the feel of his mate short circuiting his brain and ruining his plans for a slow, thorough loving. Blaze wrapped one muscled arm around Tal and grabbed Tal's hand, removing it from his cock. Blaze held Tal's wrist above his head and pounded into his mate's ass. Tal moaned and squirmed against the wall.
"Come for me, baby," Blaze rasped.
Tal's channel clenched around his pumping erection and Blaze struggled to hold back his own impending orgasm.
Tal threw back his head, unmindful or uncaring that it hit the wall, and yelled Blaze's name when his seed burst forth from his throbbing cock. Leaning forward, Blaze swiped his tongue lovingly across the skin of Tal's neck at the juncture of his shoulder, preparing him for the mating bite. Sinking his teeth deep into the skin, Blaze gave the smaller man the bonding mark that would declare to everyone he'd been mated to the Alpha King.
Tal groaned and exploded into another orgasm. Blaze savored the sweet and slightly bitter taste of the essence of his mate's release when his blood rolled over Blaze's tongue. Their souls entwined, their hearts beat as one and their mating link slid into place. Blaze slowly pulled his canines free, flicking his tongue over the puncture wounds to close them before he could no longer hold back his own orgasm. He threw back his head, his mouth opening with a loud shout of Tal's name, his legs shaking slightly when he gave into the feelings rushing over his body. They stripped him bare, leaving him vulnerable to the exposure of his raw emotions for his smaller mate who clung to him and rested in his arms. His cock expanded and the mating knot extended to grab hold onto Tal's prostate and Blaze felt his knees weaken as another, smaller orgasm ripped through them both.
Blaze panted heavily, breathing in sync with Tal, and their hearts pounded. He struggled to regain his focus after such an amazing release. Blaze had never had such a strong orgasm. Never felt so close or open to another person while having sex. He'd craved that connection for so long but now that he had it, he didn't know if he could live up to the responsibilities that came with it. With a deep heaving sigh, Blaze turned and walked back to the bed, still buried inside Tal, his cock growing hard again with each little movement.
"Wow, seriously?" Tal chuckled. "We just finished and you're ready to go again?"
Blaze laughed in response. "What can I say, my mate? My body is insatiable for you."
Tal purred in delight at the compliment and Blaze's eyes darkened with passion. "Did you just purr at me?" he asked.
Tal blushed furiously and attempted to hide his face in the larger man's shoulder.
"No," he mumbled.
Blaze grinned. How could it be possible for his mate to get more and more adorable the more Blaze got to know him?
"Yes, you did," Blaze said and bounced the younger man on his hard shaft.
Tal shuddered and moaned, causing Blaze to chuckle. That laugh quickly became a groan when Tal clenched his tight hole around Blaze's erection. Oh yeah, he could definitely go another round.
"Stop laughing and fuck me, wolf man," Tal growled.
Apparently his mate could go for more also. Blaze laid him down upon the bed and did exactly as ordered.
He would never let it be said the Alpha King didn't know how to listen to his mate.
CHAPTER FIVE
Hours later Tal opened his eyes and groaned when he stretched. Something had woken him up. He felt… alone, as if something were missing, or someone. Suddenly his mother's words about not being able to be away from his mate rushed through his mind and he sat up swiftly. He had all but forgotten about his sister in his desire to be with Blaze and he felt horrible, but the guilt became small compared the itch he felt underneath his skin, an insistent yearning to find Blaze right there and then.
He hurt all over. His neck throbbed from the mating bite Blaze had given him and his ass ached from their continuous bouts of sex. The physical hurts paled in comparison to the thought his mate might have left him or worse, gone out and gotten killed. Tal tried to think of where Blaze could be at the moment. Tal hadn't really received a tour of the palace, or even of the room he now shared with Blaze. After they'd had sex a second time, Blaze had declared he needed a shower and Tal had readily agreed.
Once in the expansive bathtub, complete with jets, settings and different mineral options, which Blaze carried him to since he'd only been semi-conscious, he remembered mentioning Josie again. But he couldn't remember what he'd asked or what Blaze's response had been. They had then returned to bed shortly thereafter, where they'd had sex twice more, effectively ruining the bath they'd shared, before finally falling asleep.
"You are absolutely gorgeous in the morning," Blaze growled seductively from the doorway separating the bedroom from the sitting room.
He walked towards Tal with a tray laden with breakfast food items. Tal looked at the array of fruits, cheese, ham cakes, sugar patties, and glasses of what appeared to be juice mixed with Vamprincian Flow. Hmm… his mate wouldn't be trying to get him drunk so early in the morning, would he?
"Really?" Tal blushed, reaching forward to snatch off a piece of fruit and popped it into his mouth.
"Really," Blaze assured him and lowered the tray over Tal's legs, where he still lay underneath the gold sheets. "The only thing sexier than you in the morning is you when you're coming on my hard cock, or down my throat, or when my cum is spilling out of your ass." He finished his assertion with a leer.
Tal's skin flushed hotly at Blaze's explicit words before he broke out in a cold sweat and gasped.
"Oh my god, oh my god," he whispered, panic surging.
His legs moved frantically underneath the sheets and he reached out towards the tray to push it away, his breath bursting forth from his chest in panicked pants. He couldn't believe after all this time, after being so careful… no, no, no! He couldn't be that stupid! He didn't even know Blaze! Even if he they were mates, it didn't mean anything.
"What is it, love?" Blaze asked and cautiously lifted the tray from Tal's legs.
Tal immediately leapt from the bed and paced, ignoring the painful twinges in his body. All thoughts of Josie flew from his mind and he frantically tried to remember what his mother had told him when she'd given him the talk all those many years ago.
"Maybe I'm not—we didn't use—not even once—maybe they were wrong—I can't be—What am I going to—" He stammered and walked, wringing his hands.
Blaze grasped his shoulders and halted him. Tal jerked to a stop, but his mind continued to swirl with frantic images and conversations with his mother. The consequences of his mating with Blaze, the mating bite, and the copious amount of sex they'd had made his fingers twist and twitch in each other.
"Talon, what the hell is the problem?" Blaze asked in a low growl.
Tal blinked, no recognition in his mind before he realized who stood in front of him.
"I am Vermithian!" he yelled, tossing his hands into the air as if that explained it all.
* * * *
Blaze's mind whirled and he gasped when the implications of Tal's statement flooded his mind. "You're Vermithian? You mean, you may even now be carrying my children? My heirs?" he whispered in wonder.
Had his father told him that the Versuthions were Vermithians? Wouldn't he have thought it important? Blaze's mind raced and he tried to remember the entire vid his father had left him. But he couldn't focus on anything other than what Tal had just told him.
His mate, his male mate would be bearing their children.
He struggled to remember every lesson he'd been given on the different species within the galaxies. He thought about the things his tutor had explained to him and Buck about Vermithians and their gestational periods, about what it could be like for them to be pregnant. If there were things they couldn't eat, anything they shouldn't do. He had always suspected he would either have to have a surrogate if his mate turned out to be a male, or he would have to mate with one of the females from the pack in order to have a few cubs… a few litters of cubs… to carry on the royal line. He wondered if Tal would be like his mother when it came to procreation. His mother had been the only wolf shifter in history to give birth to single living cubs with each litter. Blaze had been the only cub of five in his litter to live past five months and Buck had been the only one to survive his litter of six past three months. His parents had been devastated by the loss of their other children and had treasured Blaze and Buck… maybe to the point of being slightly overprotective, but Blaze could remember rolling over in bed as a young cub expecting to feel his litter mates, and finding himself all alone. Tumarons had a special gift in having their memories start from within the womb and unless they were diagnosed with givab, a disease that made them lose chunks of their memory, they held those experiences until they were called home by the One. Blaze remembered being in his mother's womb, kicking and rolling, and the day they were born. He remembered lying in a cub pile with his litter mates as they slept and he remembered the horrible moment when he couldn't sense their energies anymore.
