embrace. Carl felt himself falling forward to rub his nose along Jake’s bare chest. A light covering of hair tickled along his nose and he breathed in deep, not wanting to forget the woodsy smell coming off the man.

“I’ll never hurt you.” Jake slowly started to kiss down Carl’s cheek to settle and tease along his jaw line. His head fell back and he let Jake have his soft and gentle way with him. “All I ever want to do is make you happy.”

Carl moaned as Jake’s tongue trailed down his neck to suck up a mark where his pulse beat rapidly. His body came alive with a jolt and he could feel his cock stabbing up toward his navel. He lightly rested his hands on Jake’s biceps and held on. The man worked his lips and tongue in ways Tobias never had and Carl melted into each sensual touch.

Jake pulled back and ran his fingers down Carl’s chest. He slowly lifted the T-shirt he wore up and over his head. Carl was helpless to do anything but raise his arms. Once the covering was gone he instantly dropped his arms to shield his pale and scarred chest from the other man. Where Jake had a deeply defined muscular chest with a bronze coloring that made Carl long for summer, Carl looked like a skeleton with flesh clinging to his bones.

“Don’t hide from me.” Jake very gently pulled Carl’s arms back and eyed his body.

“I’m ugly.” Carl’s voice cracked as tears welled in his eyes.

Jake’s warm, thick fingers came up to cradle his face and forced his chin up so he could meet the man’s gaze. “No you’re not.” Jake kissed his forehead, then dropped soft kisses to each cheek. “You’re the most beautiful creature I’ve ever laid eyes on and I’ll spend the rest of my life proving it to you.”

With that Jake captured Carl’s lips and wrapped his arms around his waist. Carl brought his arms up to loop around Jake’s neck. Jake licked and sucked along his mouth and all Carl could do was open wide and let the man do as he wished. It had been over three years since he’d been kissed with such passion, back before Tobias proved to be a heartless monster, but even then Tobias couldn’t compete with Jake’s kisses.

As if by magic Carl found himself completely naked lying flat on his back in the most comfortable bed he had ever had the pleasure to rest on. It felt like fluffy white clouds hugged his body from underneath while Jake’s body cradled him from the front. Every inch of Jake’s body fitted snug against his, as if they were of the same body.

Jake wedged his way between Carl’s thighs and Carl let his knees fall open. The hot tip of Jake’s shaft nudged at his opening and Carl lost the ability to think. His head dropped back and he moaned as Jake nipped along the base of his neck, moving over to his collarbone.

As Jake started to rock forward, Carl lifted his legs to rest on Jake’s hips. He moved in time with the strong, gorgeous man above him, wanting only what Jake could give him. One forceful thrust of Jake’s hips had his manhood seated fully in Carl’s tight opening. His body shook and pulsed around the hot length buried deep inside him.

Jake started to move and Carl held on for dear life. Sparks went off behind his eyelids and his body began to tingle. His teeth started to lengthen and his upper lip pulled back in a snarl. He grabbed tightly around Jake’s shoulders as his orgasm rolled through his body.

Unable to stop himself, he struck Jake right where his neck and shoulder met. Hot pulses of cream left his body as he bit down harder on the man’s shoulder.

“Ouch!”

Carl woke with a start. He sat straddling Jake’s lap with his teeth buried deep into his neck. The moon still hung in the sky and darkness filled the night. He blinked his eyes, getting his wits about him, then slowly pulled away from Jake. The man’s eyes were rounded and had a glazed-over look about them.

“I’m sor—” Before he could finish his sentence Jake rolled him underneath him and covered his mouth.

Jake’s smooth tongue rubbed alongside his and coaxed mewling little moans from Carl. He brought his hands up and ran his fingers up under Jake’s cap until he could grip ahold of the man’s hair. The texture silky and soft as it tangled around his fingers.

The sleeping bag hindered their movements and Carl growled in frustration. In the tight confines he couldn’t hold on to the man like he had in his dream. Sweat started to break out across his forehead even with the chilling temperature surrounding them.

Almost as fast as it began it ended. Jake rolled away from him and cursed quietly under his breath. Carl stared up at him. His chest heaved with every intake of breath.

“What’s wrong?” His voice sounded small and distant.

“Nothing.” Jake rolled to lie on his back. “Everything is perfect, you’re perfect but…” Carl turned on his side and stared down at Jake. His face was distorted by the shadows bouncing over the ground and he had to squint to try and get a read on the man’s face.

“But what?” Carl needed to know what was going on in Jake’s head. He had never acted like this before and he knew it had something to do with Jake. He swore to himself after what Tobias had done to him he’d never let another soul touch him but here he was being the aggressor toward Jake. He had even bit the man.

“I just thought when my mate bit me it would be while we were making love not fooling around on the hard ground with my friends sleeping fifteen feet away.” Jake used his thumb and forefinger to pinch the bridge of his nose.

Mate? Carl’s brain got stuck on that one word. “Huh?” was
