Leo's p.o.v
"Happy anniversary!"
A very confused Jayden walked in, exchanged his shoes for indoor flats and stared dumbly at Leo. It was yet to ring a bell.
"It is our first f*ckerversary. We were not together so for the years this date passed; I just let it slide but now look. Cake!"
He said with a smile his focus evenly distributed between the man before him and the sweetness of the cake he baked. It is not the best-looking cake ever and probably tastes like diabetes more than anything. His not sure if homemade cake should give you the heartburn his currently experiencing. Jayden wouldn't judge him harshly for the thought and effort his lover put on this, cake? Okay yes, he sucks at cooking, but he really worked hard on making the white covered icing cake with a 'Happy F*ckerversary' elegantly written.
.
This is a special moment to him that called for a major celebration in his life and of course it did not go without warning from his fathers. It is not like his going through this bonding blind his fathers lectured him in the difficulties of having a mate, as always, one got triggered and got mad at the other although he initiated the examples.
His father who is alpha has always apologized first, dad got happy and just like that they fell madly in love even displaying their affection in front of their disgusted son. Seriously no child in the universe wants to see their parents make out, they got back to lecturing him as a united from leaving him to sit in front of a computer for almost five hours.
.
After his parents talk, he was certain this is what he wants besides fate aligned them and marked them to be together. This is going to be his first and last time he will have the opportunity to form a soul bond with someone. The lack of concern assured his feelings in the matter and his alpha's face lit up obviously to just oblige his mate. He fit in his arms like a puzzle, so this has to be fates way of blessing their union. Jayden bit his neck hard enough to draw blood and leave a mark. He even fluttered his entire body with rainbow kisses to make the pain of the moment go away. Moments later a tattoo like permanent claim appeared on his wrist, of two moons gaped on top of each other.
His fathers have an infinity designed mark with the twin moons, so did every mated couple he knows. Their mate mark does not look complete; their bond is just not complete... Maybe they different because their love is unlikely to begin with, whatever the reason he has a mate now.
"You are mine."
Jay stated planting kisses on the not visible twin marks on his wrists.
"I am yours."
He reaffirmed and Jayden attacked his lips once more.
.
"Then, for our fuckiversary, let's relive that night booze, music, and what I hate most... your tears." Jayden smirked, but then his eyes softened. "Wait a minute, you never told me why I found you crying that night?"
"It happened so long ago," Leo murmured, trying to wave it off. Jayden didn't reply, just gave him that look that look that said, Tell me everything. Leo sighed. He didn't cave because of the pressure, but because he wanted this, them to be built on honesty and open communication. A stable, real relationship.
"I always thought I'd end up with an omega, human, or maybe a beta as my soulmate. Alex, at best, is a beta... but that's not why I fell for her. She's smart, kind, gentle."
(Jayden hated hearing his mate speak with such fondness about someone else especially another potential partner. But he also saw what Leo was trying to do: be honest, vulnerable. And he had asked for the truth, hadn't he? So, he bit down on his jealousy, his anger, because if he wanted them to last, he had to hear it all.)
"That night... I was going to confess to her," Leo continued, eyes distant. "Not because of a bonding urge, but because I was tired of being alone. So tired. That was the moment fate left me on read. I remember it so clearly. I did love Lex, but I don't think I was in love with her. I don't know... maybe I was just desperate. It had been a while since I was in a real relationship. Now, thinking back, it sounds irrational that being rejected by someone you now see as a sibling still hurts. But Jay... it did. Rejection just hurts."
He gave a dry laugh. "You know what's worse than being rejected outright? Not even being rejected. Being ignored. Lex never said a word. She just let me hang there stringing myself along. I guess... she's not great at turning people down."
He paused, then looked up at Jayden. "In a weird way, Alexandria pushed me toward you."
Jayden raised a brow.
"That night," Leo said, softer now, "I saw her making out with some random guy in our faculty. It broke something in me. I think what made it worse was that she left with him. I just… I couldn't breathe."
He swallowed.
"After some drinks and a heartbreak rant with Ted the bartender you showed up. You didn't know why I was falling apart, but you didn't leave me. You stayed. You kept people from taking advantage of my drunk, pathetic self."
Jayden's expression turned unreadable.
"I just wanted one night where I didn't have to think," Leo went on. "I kept trying to kiss you, and you kept stopping me. But even drunk, I knew exactly what I was doing... and what I wanted. Eventually, you caved," he added with a cheeky grin, "and I won't let you forget it."
(Jayden rolled his eyes but his chest tightened at the memory.)
"That night, I did something I thought I'd regret. But I didn't. Not then. Not now."
Leo leaned in, voice low and honest. "No woman has ever made me feel the way I did that night. No one has. And believe me, I tried to move on, but you ruined me. Ruined me for women, for anyone else, really. That's why I kept coming back. You made me feel alive."
Fingers caressing his jawline, planting life altering kisses on his neck, face, lips. Leo ripped his shirt, nipping, sucking, licking the moment got lot to sensation. Like their first time together. Unlike Toby and Lex his body was firm. He wasn't larger than his frame, every caress gave him ground to an interesting platform.
"What do you want?"
"Why can I not be on top?"
"No. Do you want to stop?"
"No. Sorry. I was just wondering."
"I am your alpha. Now give me your hands."
He demanded and when he obliged and he tied his hands behind is back. Alphas demanded whatever and expected all to bow to grovel to complete they order. Not anymore. Oh, does he thank the wolf goddess his nature is beta. Therefore, for him, during sex he did not have to submit but it is hot he chooses to. Not to anyone alpha, not to his fated. He was in awe his wolf welcomed Jays touch, love and being with his fated was the only time he got to truly let go. In fact, what was worse in terms of the hierarchy, was the nature below him. For fucks sake he could have been fucking an omega bound to need an alpha, hell no. Before his Jayden he was in love with someone but the one he wanted did not want him.
So, with his hands bound the only thing covering his modesty was his underwear. There is something trusting about being bound and under his scrutiny. Shit Jayden, there is no way that can fit in him. This is his reaction every time he has to see all of his fated. So, in order to conclude... No matter how much his fated pleasures him, there is no way he could not allow the alpha to rip him apart. His aBeta. Unlike beta's, omegas naturally are wet and ready when aroused for their alpha. Breath, you have done this countless times before with this very man, distracted when Jayden proceeded to kiss every single inch of his body ending with his neck. Finally kissing him back, his kiss magical. It is like he wanted to consume him whole and that turned him on, as lust blinded his reservations.
Along the way he lost his underwear and something cold caressed his hole. His hands. His body. How could he be attracted to an alpha? Why did he not want the sensations to stop? Mmm, his moans were encouraging the other man to claim him. His thoughts now were justified but then the mystery of it all. He wished to forget the reservations stopping him and just allow himself to give into the sensation. For the moment his problems were nothing but a distant memory.
"Leo."
"Huh? What? Why did you stop?"
"What do you want?"
"Jay, I need you to fill me, make love to me. Please."
