***Lloyd's POV***

"So, that's it? You just gonna be a pussy? Can't even claim your mate?" Lutz barks loudly.

I turn around on my heel. I look directly at Lutz Fucking Cassidy. My head spins.

Lutz face breaks into a breathtaking smile. My breath escapes.

Oh, Goddess.

"Pussy?" I ask. My eyebrow raises and I smirk.

I close the distance between the incredibly gorgeous man who I have known was my mate for a while.

I stand in front of him and raise my hand to his face. I cup his jaw and stare into his beautiful hazel eyes. I drop my forehead onto his.

My body sizzles with electric currents at the contact. Lutz pulls back and stares into my black orbs. His eyes plead with me.

"Took you long enough." Lutz whispers.

Shivers caress my spine. Fuck, I have loved this boy since we could walk.

"I don't think you should accept me." I confess.

"Yep, still stupid." Lutz smirks.

"Yep, still an asshole." I retort.

"You two gonna stand there and insult each other? Or, are you gonna give this crowd a show?" Talon yells out with a giggle.

I stare at Talon. I can definitely see what my mate finds attractive about him. He is adorable, a real beauty. His ocean blue eyes are kind and is heart is platinum. I could never compete.

I feel shame for the years of torment I made him endure. I'm trash. I'm absolute scum. My smile falters and I drop my hand from Lutz face. I turn and drop my eyes.

I could never be as good as Talon.

"For fucks sake." Lutz whimpers.

The sound makes my heart lurch. I can feel the the fissure cracks forming on the fault line of my soul.

"I'm sorry. Just reject me." I whisper. I hold back the painful cry that is clawing at my tight throat.

"Goddess, you're dense." Lutz huffs.

I turn and look incredulously.

"What the fuck? Why are you torturing me? Just fucking DO IT." I roar.

Get this over with. Please.

"I, Lutz Jonathan Cassidy." Lutz begins. My wolf, Akir, bows in my head. His paws claw at his ears. Loud whimpers echo in my mind. I sway as my body braces for the impact of rejection. Tears pool in my eyes.

I deserve this.

I am not worthy of a mate.

"Stop stalling." I cry out painfully. I squeeze my eyes shut as my heart begins the task of breaking.

"I, Lutz Jonathan Cassidy, reject" the crowd around us gasps "the notion of rejecting my mate. I accept Lloyd Andrew Maples as my gift from the Moon Goddess."

My heart pierces. I wait for the inevitable destruction of the mate bond. It doesn't come.

Akir howls in my head. It doesn't sound painful. He sounds excited.

I can't open my eyes and I can't breathe. My head spins. What the fuck is happening?

"Why doesn't it hurt?" I ask, mystified.

"Why would it hurt?" Talon asks, confused.

"I was rejected. It should hurt." I cry.

I can't stand. I can't move. My body feels like Osmium, a ton of weight holds me in place.

I feel hot breath caress my left ear and shivers run down my spine. My nostrils fill with an alluring masculine scent of Fresh earth and rain. I moan.

Oh, Goddess why doesn't this hurt?

"I didn't reject you. You're an idiot. My idiot. You're mine." Lutz' voice sends a beautiful melody that soothes my soul.

My eyes snap open. Sure enough, Lutz Fucking Cassidy is reaching his hand to my jaw. I lift my sight to his breathtaking face and a smile is assaulting his features.

"Yours?" I ask. I'm so confounded.

"You, Lloyd Andrew Maples, are mine. I accept you. Gladly." Lutz whispers.

I lunge at him. My hands wrap around his neck and I bury my face in his chest.

"I don't deserve this." I cry. Hot tears seep down my face and wet his unclothed pecs. My heart hammers violently in my ribs. I hear his heart pounding against his sternum.

"Shut up." Lutz laughs. The deep rumble vibrates against my face.

Lutz slides his hands across my jaw and his thumbs pad away the tears that are racing from my eyes. He lifts my face and he places a gentle kiss on my lips. I purr. Like a fucking kitten, I purr.

He opens his mouth and his soft lips capture mine again. He swipes his wet tongue against my bottom lip and I open for him. My body lights on fire. My groin says hello.

Lutz deepens the kiss and I can't think of anything aside from his delicious scent washing over my tongue. His tongue plunders my mouth. I want him. He explores every inch of my mouth. I climb up his body and we fall to the grass. My body is out of control. It ruts and I pant.

Lutz pulls away and smiles a blistering, beautiful full grin of pearly whites.

"Eager?" Lutz chides me.

"Yes." I unashamedly cry out.

Lutz picks me up, bridal style. I don't care who looks at us. My mate accepts me. Akir barks and coos in my head. Lutz looks at my eyes as he walks with my heavy body effortlessly laying in his arms. Every inch of our contacting skin is tingling.

"Let me show you what you mean to me." Lutz whispers as he bends down and places me on a soft bed. My mind reels when I realize we are in his house. We made it there so quickly. His room is filled with his scent and it envelopes me in peace and security.

Lutz reaches over and pulls my shirt softly from my body. His hands roam my naked chest. He hums, in approval, as his fingers leave a trail of goosebumps.

"You are worthy. You are sexy. You are beautiful. You are mine." Lutz announces between wet, open mouthed kisses to my chest.

***Lutz' POV***

Oh, Goddess.

My mate!

Damon purrs with every touch. He is ecstatic.

Talon has nothing on my mate. Sorry. This man was made for me!

His skin is like caramel, dark brown hair with a touch of sun kissed honey right at the front. So soft. So gorgeous. His black orbs are so enrapturing. His muscles, oh fuck me, his rippling, fantastic muscles. He is a god.

I lick and kiss his exposed torso. My lips tremble as I make purchase to his divine flesh. My whole body begs to feel him.

"Lutz." Lloyd pants under my tongue. His chest heaves as his breathing is labored.

"Yes, baby?" I ask between kisses of exploration.

"Thank you." Lloyd whispers. His hands drag thru my dark blonde strands.

"For what?" I ask. My teeth scraping across his hip bone. My fingers find his waistband and I slide his sweats and boxers down, off his ankles. I kiss his pubic bone before standing and letting my eyes rake over his glorious body.

"Accepting me." Lloyd confirms.

"I would never reject you. You are one of my best friends and chosen for only me." I explain.

"I have loved you since I could walk." Lloyd whimpers as my tongue dips into his belly button.

"Shoulda said something." I smile against his hairless happy trail.

"You're right." He shudders against my lips. My tongue runs the line of his defined v line.

"Lutz." Lloyd whines. I smile. He is getting impatient.

I don't answer. I kneel before him. I place sweet kisses on the inside of his thighs, then I throw them over my shoulders.

I lean my head down and lick the head of his delicious cock. I stroke my hand gently down his shaft. 7.5 inches of steel, mouth watering flesh. I drop my lips over his flesh and consume his manhood into my mouth.

Fuck, he tastes like my favorite meal. I run my tongue over his thick vein on the underside of his pillar. I suck him into the back of my throat.

"Oh, fuck. Lutz." Lloyd pants out my name. It's like a soft prayer of worship.

I take my time licking and sucking his arousal. He needs me to prove that he is mine. Gladly.

I bob my head down into his lap and give him a proper blow job. Judging by the way his thighs squeeze the sides of my head, I'm not too bad at this.

He arches his back as his sperm hits the back of my throat. I moan and swallow the fast stream of completion. I clean his pole and pull off slowly with a lick of his shaft, my tongue swirling around the girth. I kiss his slit and drop my head lower.

I spread his ankles with my hands and push his knees to his shoulders. I bring my face to his golden hole and lap the glistening moisture from the surface. My eyes roll. Fuck he is yummy. His body quivers.

"Lutz, sensitive." He whines.

"Shhh, baby." I whisper as I blow my breath over his wet entrance. I dive into his cheeks and nibble the tight flesh. I can swear I have never tasted food a day in my life, I'm starving. I lap, nip, kiss and pull his quenched ring into my mouth.

I form a point with my tongue and push into his closed ring. He mewls and tightens his hands in my hair. He pushes me inside of him as he rocks his hips against my face. I hungrily pierce his cavern with my tongue.

I lift my face and kiss his thighs, then I bite them. I suck on my index finger and get it wet with my saliva before pushing it into his hole.

He gasps.

"Does it hurt?" I worry.

"Not too bad." He shakes his head. His eyes are squeezed shut.

I stretch his walls and feel around. My long fingers seek a tight ball of nerves I know will bring him pleasure.

I swipe blindly until I see his body jerk. Then I pass the spot again, applying pressure.

"There. Right there, babe." Lloyd whines. His pet name for me makes my hand work harder to please him.

I pull out and add my middle finger. I curl them and manipulate that swollen bud of nerves. His dick bounces against his stomach and bubbles the clear sticky fluid that announces my success.

I pull my fingers out and push them back in, scissoring and twisting as they move. His legs shake as I continuously manipulate his tunnel.

When my fingers glide easily I pull out. I bend down and capture his luscious taupe lips with my pale pink ones. The waves of pleasure consume me. I quietly line myself up with his entrance while stealing a mind blowing kiss from my mate.

Lloyd's moans throttle at the base of his throat and send small vibrations into my mouth. I gently start the task of pushing into his hole. The head of my dick is immediately wet at the contact of his ring. I move my hips firmly trying to pass the barrier.

I hear and feel the pop as his ring encompasses my circumcised head. The heat is absolutely scorching. Lloyd gasps into my mouth.

I pull back my face and stare at him.

"Keep going." Lloyd nods.

I push further and sweltering heat of his walls enflame my shaft.

"Oh, my." Lloyd whimpers. I feel his hips pushing me into him further.

I kiss his neck and trace my tongue down the area I will mark shortly. Damon drools in my head.

When our hips meet, I keep them still. I place my elbows on either side of my mate's head. I slowly pull out my rod from its new home. Then I press back in just as slow.

"Goddess, you are so damn tight." I whisper against Lloyd's neck.

"Virgin." Lloyd shivers his word.

"Me too, baby. Me, too." I confess.

"Well, was." Lloyd laughs.

"Oh, Goddess. I didn't even think to ask if you were bottom." I chastise myself.

"Hell, I didn't know. I just need you." Lloyd excuses me.

My strokes are long and ridiculously slow. I'm so scared to hurt him.

"Is this okay? Does it hurt?" I ask.

"It feels wonderful. I could never imagine this." Lloyd praises me.

"I kinda wanna go faster." I tell him.

"Okay." He agrees.

I softly pick up the pace. His slick coats my flesh and the friction is other worldly. When I am going at a decent pace, I watch for his bodies reactions. He pants and moans. I feel my head hitting his prostate each time. He moans deeply.

"Lutz, babe. I'm cumming." He shakes the words out.

"Cum for me, love." I persuade him.

His throat tightens, head falls back and he opens his mouth. I slam my hips into his prostate as milky white ropes cover our chests.

"So, fucking good." Lloyd praises.

I grip his hips and plunge into his hot walls. My heart accelerates and I ravage his ass like the beast I am. My member thickens inside of him, my body tenses.

"I'm going to cum." I whisper.

"Just a sec. please. I'm almost there again." Lloyd begs.

I bend down and hover above his collarbone, where his neck meets the juncture. I position him the same as he moans at my thrusts.

"Ready." He yells.

We both sink our canines into each other's flesh. My orgasm washes over me and I feel how my seed fills him to the brim. He cums on our stomachs and loud roars rip thru our throats, rumbling thru our marks. The feeling is ridiculously pleasurable. Never have I experienced something so amazing.

The bond seals. I feel his emotions flood into me. I hear his thoughts. He is happy. So am I.

"Mine." I growl and nip his mark.

"Mine." He kisses my mark and licks it.

"I love you." Lloyd grabs my face and kisses me.

I kiss back, unwilling to say those words until I have earned the right.
