CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: TEASE

Victor’s lips softened against Elias’s one last time before he began to pull away, breath shallow, the edge of restraint fraying. He eased back only by a fraction, just enough to give Elias space, to let him breathe, to choose.

But Elias didn’t let him go.

His hands, fisted now in the front of Victor’s shirt, tugged sharply, dragging him forward again with a force that surprised them both. His mouth found Victor’s with hunger barely restrained.

Elias kissed like a man who had run out of reasons not to.

Victor’s control shattered.

He growled low in his throat, the sound vibrating through Elias’s chest as he pushed him back onto the bed, following him down without breaking the kiss. Their legs tangled together, and Victor’s knee pressed between Elias’s thighs, forcing them apart.

Elias gasped, his back arching off the bed, the friction of Victor’s thigh against his hardening length sending sparks through his veins. He moaned into Victor’s mouth, the muffled sound sending jolts of pleasure through the alpha.

Victor grabbed the hem of his own shirt and yanked it over his head, tossing it aside before leaning down to capture Elias’s lips again. His hands roamed over Elias’s body, skimming the curve of his ribs, the dip of his waist, before slipping under the fabric of his shirt.

Elias flinched at the touch, his skin warm and sensitive, and Victor could feel the way his breath hitched. He pushed the shirt up slowly, revealing more of that smooth, pale skin, his lips trailing after his hands as they moved.

"Victor," Elias whispered, his voice trembling as the Alpha’s mouth closed over one nipple, sucking gently before nipping at the tender flesh.

Victor hummed in response, his tongue flicking over the peak, coaxing it to hardness. His hand slid down Elias’s stomach, fingers tracing the line of muscle there before brushing over the waistband of his pants.

Elias shuddered, his hips lifting off the bed instinctively, seeking more contact. Victor tugged Elias’s pants and underwear down just enough to free his erection.

The air was cool against Elias’s heated skin, but the sensation was quickly replaced by the warmth of Victor’s hand wrapping around him. Elias gasped, his head falling back against the pillows as Victor’s grip tightened, stroking him slowly from base to tip.

"Already so hard for me," Victor murmured against Elias’s neck, his breath hot against the sensitive skin there. His teeth grazed the scent gland at the base of Elias’s throat, eliciting a sharp gasp.

Elias’s hands clawed at Victor’s shoulders, his nails digging into the alpha’s skin as he fought to keep himself grounded. The pleasure was overwhelming, building with every stroke of Victor’s hand, every scrape of teeth against his neck.

"Victor," Elias whimpered, the word slipping out before he could stop it.

Victor froze for a moment, his grip tightening almost painfully around Elias’s cock before he released him completely. Elias made a sound of protest, but it was cut off as Victor flipped him over onto his stomach with surprising ease.

Elias’s face pressed into the pillow, his heart racing as Victor straddled his thighs, keeping him pinned to the bed. The alpha’s hands smoothed over the curve of Elias’s ass, squeezing gently before spreading him apart.

"Fuck," Elias breathed, his body trembling as he felt Victor’s breath against his entrance.

Victor’s tongue pressed against Elias’s hole, licking a slow, wet stripe over the sensitive flesh. Elias moaned, pushing back against Victor’s face as the Alpha continued to lick and tease, his tongue dipping inside ever so slightly.

The sensation was electric, sending jolts of pleasure through Elias’s body. He gripped the sheets tightly, his knuckles turning white as Victor’s tongue worked him open. When Victor added a finger alongside his tongue, Elias nearly lost it.

"Please," Elias begged, his voice barely above a whisper.

Victor chuckled darkly, adding another finger and scissoring them to stretch Elias further. "You beg so prettily," he murmured against Elias’s skin, his breath hot and moist. "But I want to hear you scream."

He crooked his fingers just right, hitting that spot inside Elias that made him see stars. Elias cried out, his body convulsing with pleasure as Victor repeated the motion again and again.

The tight, wet heat closed around him instantly, and Victor’s breath caught. Elias arched under him, lips parting on a gasp so raw and startled it made Victor nearly lose his composure. His other hand pressed firmly against Elias’s stomach, steadying him, grounding him, as his finger moved with excruciating patience.

"You’re beautiful like this," Victor said softly against his cheek. "Open for me."

Elias turned his face away, half in the pillow, trying to bite back the sound that escaped him when Victor added another finger, stretching him further.

Victor’s fingers curled deeper inside Elias, the slick warmth of him making every movement effortless. Elias’s back arched, his hips pressed back against Victor’s hand as a broken whimper escaped his lips. The alpha’s breath was hot against the back of Elias’s neck, his scent filling Elias’s lungs with every gasp.

"You’re taking me so well," Victor murmured, his voice low and rough, sending shivers down Elias’s spine. "But I think you’re ready for more."

Elias’s body tensed, his fingers clutching the sheets tighter as Victor withdrew his fingers slowly, leaving him achingly empty. He didn’t have time to mourn the loss before Victor’s hands gripped his hips, pulling him up onto his knees. The shift in position left Elias exposed, vulnerable, his hole slick and glistening under the muted morning light.

Victor’s cock brushed against the curve of Elias’s ass, the tip already wet with precum. The alpha leaned forward, his chest pressing against Elias’s back as he kissed the base of his neck, right over his scent gland. The touch sent a jolt of pleasure through Elias, his cock twitching against his stomach.

And then, a knock.

A sharp, muffled rap echoed from the far door, jarring against the molten quiet of the room.
