Love is Always Write Anthology Volume 10

threading his fingers through Kyle's short brown hair. To Damian's relief, Kyle pressed into his touch. It pleased him that his beloved would still take pleasure, and even reassurance, from his touch. It gave Damian hope.
    "How is that possible? I'm human. I can't live under water."
    His hand dropped to Kyle's neck, kneading the tight tendons he found there. "You like it when I bite you when we make love, right?" he asked. He'd never questioned his mate's responses before, but he needed Kyle to be able to make the correlation.
    The skin under his palm heated, and he glanced down to see a blush working its way down Kyle's neck. Oh, yeah. That's hot ! He fought a sudden wash of lust. He wanted to change the heat of embarrassment to passion. His human's muttered confession didn't help him regain his fragmenting control.
    "Yes, you know I do."
    "Good." He breathed the word as he caressed Kyle's smooth skin. "Biting you mixes my saliva into your blood. It allows your body to make certain changes, like forming gills so you can breathe under water. As long as I continue to do that, you can stay with me under water indefinitely."
    "That's— that's amazing."
    "It is, isn't it," he said softly. He continued to stroke his mate's neck and spine, loving the play of muscle under his fingertips.
    Kyle growled softly and levered up onto his elbow to stare down at Damian. His brown eyes gleamed in the light of the moon coming through the window. Cupping his cheek, Kyle took Damian's mouth in a deep kiss. Damian relaxed into the contact, happy his mate still seemed to desire him just as much as he wanted Kyle, willing to let him set the pace and lead the way where he would.
    And it didn't take long for Kyle to make it perfectly clear what he wanted. Still tangling his tongue with Damian's, his free hand slid down to tweak Damian's nipple, then he moved further down his chest, underneath his underwear, to tangle his fingers in Damian's pubic hair. Every few seconds, the tips of his fingers ghosted over Damian's erection, making the engorged, sensitive flesh flex and twitch.
    The light brushes sent shock waves through Damian's system, driving his lust higher and higher. Letting out a growl, he grabbed the man's wrist and then rolled him onto his back, settling on top of him. He used a knee to separate his smirking human's thighs and settled his boxer covered erection against Kyle's. "Are you in need, my love?" he grunted, thrusting his hips.
    Kyle bucked under him. "God, yes. Fuck me, Damian," he moaned softly.
    Damian paused, knowing his man must be going through a myriad of emotions. He brushed his knuckles down Kyle's jaw. "Are you certain?"
    "I will always need you, Damian," Kyle replied, his voice just as soft. The truth of his love and desire burned brightly in his gaze.
    Groaning at Kyle's exquisite response, he rolled over and reached for the lube in the bedside table. "Clothes off," he ordered while removing his own.
    It pleased Damian how quickly Kyle complied. He knew his Adelfi Psychi needed to reconnect with him just as much as Damian needed the same, but that didn't mean he wanted to rush this bit of returning trust his mate was giving him. Setting the lubricant on the pillow, he settled half on Kyle and took the man in a slow, lingering kiss.
    He slid his tongue into his human's mouth, tangling them together, scraping over nerve endings. Smiling against Kyle's lips, he buried one hand in the man's hair to tilt his head, nibbling his bottom lip sensually before he deepened the kiss. Pleasure filled him when Kyle moaned and gripped Damian's shoulders and ass.
    Dropping his hand to Kyle's chest, he pinched first one nipple, then the other, into sharp little points. He nibbled and sucked his way down Kyle's neck, loving how the sounds of his lover's grunts and moans of pleasure filled their bedroom. He latched onto one nub, twisting and pulling the other just like he knew Kyle enjoyed. With his other hand, he caressed the man's side and hip, finally cupping his ass and pulling them closer.
    He moved up so their groins fit tightly together, causing their shafts to rub together in delicious friction. Resting his forehead on Kyle's, he stared into the passion-darkened brown eyes he'd come to love so much. "You are everything to me," he purred throatily. "I would do anything for you." He said the words, and knew they were true down to his very soul.
    Kyle smiled up seductively. "Then love me, Damian."
    "I can do that," he said,
