I pulled my tongue free in a blink, and propped up onto my knees. I grabbed the bottle of lube that I'd abandoned at some point, and popped the cap before drenching my dick in the slick liquid.
I pressed my tip against his hole and looked him in the eyes. At his nod, I dropped my gaze and pushed my hips forward. I watched in awe as his flesh stretched to take in my girth. His hole thinned and spread until it gobbled me whole, taking in every thick inch.
I eased back and forth, letting him get used to my size. After a few strokes, his muscles relaxed and I moved easier within him, but his channel still hugged me like a glove.
Lance wrapped his thighs around my waist and pulled me deeper every time I thrust into him. He begged for me to go faster and harder, so I gave him everything he asked for.
I slammed inside him at a fevered pace. My balls bounced off of his ass cheeks, sending an electric current up my spine as they rolled and tightened.
Lance was close too, judging by the way he wrapped his hand around his cock and stroked wildly. His eyes pinched shut and his jaw dropped open. He called out my name and his back arched off of the mattress. His body lurched and my sweet mate erupted, painting his abdomen in thick, white stripes of cum.
I breathed in deeply, inhaling his tangy essence, and it threw me over the edge. I buried myself in his warm body and roared as I planted my seed deep inside him.
Once we caught our breath, Lance gave me a dreamy smile. "You are amazing. I'm so glad we're mated."
"I'm blessed that you're mine, but we're not quite mated yet, sweets."
He cocked his head to the side. "Even though we…you know…" He looked down to where we were still connected. "Mated?"
I smiled at my adorable man. "Making love to you was the most incredible experience of my life, but in order to bind our souls together, I'll need to give you my mating bite on your throat. It will show all creatures that you are mine, and link us together for all time."
Lance stretched his neck to the side and asked, "Please; make me yours."
At his words, my fangs elongated in preparation as Lance's eyes widened, but he didn't appear afraid. I lowered my mouth to his throat and placed a gentle kiss on his skin before opening my mouth wide.
Lance flinched when I punctured his flesh with the tips of my fangs, but he moaned in pleasure as they slid deeper into his throat. I bit down until my teeth scraped against his collarbone before pulling back. My fangs popped out of his body, and I licked away the sweet drops of his blood lingering on his skin.
His broken flesh quickly knitted together until it formed a beautiful mating mark; my mating mark. This gorgeous, perfect man was mine.
I smiled when a faint, indigo-colored light ignited in Lance's chest. I told him, "That's called a spirit light. When a shifter bonds with his mate, our bodies release lights that embody our core characteristics. We breathe each other in to intertwine our souls."
The indigo shine brightened and broke into smaller orbs which hung in the air between us. "Indigo stands for devotion, justice, and wisdom." As a great father, he held those values dear. I breathed in deeply, taking in the lights which warmed my chest before extinguishing.
When I breathed out, lighter blue lights danced in the air. "These stand for stability and loyalty. I promise that you and Brady will always have that in me."
Lance breathed in, and the flickering orbs entered his nostrils. They burned brightly inside him before dulling away.
"I'm honored to have you as a mate," I whispered. "I promise to fill your life with happiness and security. I will love you more every single day, and I will never leave your side."
"I love you too," he whispered back. "I never thought I'd be in a relationship again, but I was blessed to find my perfect match who will never hide me away or leave me behind. Brady and I are so lucky to have you."
"I'm the lucky one; you two give me purpose. I will do everything I can to help Brady grow and thrive. You guys are my everything."
A pearly grin took his lips. "And you're ours."
I kissed him softly and lowered myself on top of him until I felt his cool, tacky seed against my skin. "Let me get something to clean you up, sweets."
"Will you hold me for just a little while first?"
"Yes, my love. I want to hold you forever."

"I'll grab the cake I made," Cedric said before struggling to stand up from his chair at the dining room table.
