Chapter: 52
******

Conri shut the door as soon as they entered, and stood with his back pressed against it. His hand gripping Caleb had left him, and now the Weretiger just stood there, watching him breathlessly. They held eye contact for a good amount, none looked away from the other for the longest time. With how he had dragged him up here, Caleb thought he would toss him to the bed the second they got in, and mount him so wickedly he would not be able to walk in days. But, instead, the Lycan just stood there, watching him. As if he were scrutinizing him from behind his mask of shame. As if he could see everything that went on in the back of his head.

Conri wasn't in his right senses, but somehow he could feel the pheromones close to him, and he knew very well who they belonged to. He didn't want to do it, but the Weretiger was calming his Rut, and he needed to keep him close, or else he would go insane. So, he stood there and just looked at him. He could feel the Tiger getting anxious, his eyes wandering from his to the floor repeatedly. His breathing labored, his fingers pinching the hem of his shirt. It seemed as though he was waiting for an opportunity to bolt from his presence.

The longer Conri observed him the clearer his vision got. As he became more conscious, it was clear that he could see everything clearly. From the way, his pupils were dilated to the way he clenched his jaw. He could hear each and every one of his pained gasps. He could feel them. He could tell the Tiger was confused, ashamed, and nervous. He could tell because his hands were shaking slightly when he placed them on his waist as if trying to hold them still. He could see the trembling from where he was standing.

Conri growled deeply in his throat when he felt that cursed heat filling his veins once again, his pheromones began to spread across the room, creating waves and clouds of mist. A pang of pain shot through his head when he realized that the pheromones were affecting the Weretiger too. Caleb's pheromones rose rapidly and blended smoothly with his. Conri reached for his hand and pulled him closer to him, then very slowly turned him around so his back was pressed against his front. The move brought his groin into contact with Caleb's ass. The large rigid erection pressed between the cheeks and the sensation sent a pulse through Caleb's body making his cock jerk. It was already straining at the limits of his jeans and somewhat painful. Caleb decided he didn't care as he moaned and pressed back, rubbing his ass back and forth.

Then Conri's lips came down on the bare skin where his neck and shoulder met. His teeth didn't touch Caleb's neck, but his soft lips did in a small nip that had results neither of them expected. Both of them moaned simultaneously, which only made Caleb press even closer to the Werewolf, grinding their hips together. Conri's hands fell to Caleb's backside and slid downwards over the muscles before coming to rest at his waist. He pressed up into the man.

"Conri-" Caleb moaned softly and it seemed to have snapped Conri from whatever high he was on as he shoved him away, and began pacing the bedroom floor. "Please-" Caleb begged, feeling his knees about to buckle. "Don't do this, Don't leave me. Please... I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry. I don't know what got over me, please, forgive me... I need you. I-I love you." He sobbed shamelessly.

Conri stopped short when Caleb's words registered amidst the chaos swirling around in his brain. Then, he turned around and faced the Weretiger, lust, and desire burned deeply within his colorful eyes. Conri yanked hard on his arm, pulling him into his chest. Their heated skin met, and they both groaned. Caleb couldn't tell if it was his Rut acting up again, but whatever it was he was willing to welcome it as long as he would continue to touch him like this. Caleb shuddered as his large Mate picked him up and carried him toward the bed. Conri laid him down slowly, and in one swift motion, ripped his pants and Caleb's away in haste; throwing them to the side of the room somewhere. Caleb let out another moan when Conri straddled him, rubbing his body against his.

His arousal spiked, but for some reason, he could still feel the nervousness coursing through his veins. Their bodies pressed together with such ease that Caleb could barely stand it. His fingers dug deep into Conri's shoulders desperately pressing him even more closely to himself. He moaned loudly when Conri began to move, a slow grinding that drove him closer to the edge. They kept at it, neither wanting to end the session quickly or break off. Both needed each other, they were sure of it now. A small growl rumbled from the back of the Weretiger's throat before he finally gave in to the urge, releasing all of his pent-up desires in an orgasm that lasted longer than he had ever experienced before. Then Conri pulled back, and Caleb opened his eyes.

At first, he was confused why the Lycan stopped, but when he caught the sad lines under his eyes, sadness and pain etched so strongly in his features that Caleb's heart squeezed painfully in his chest. He didn't have to hear it to know the thoughts going through Conri's head. His face dropped in shame as he watched tears fall unheeded down Conri's cheeks. Without hesitation, Caleb grabbed onto Conri and brought him back to rest fully against his body, wrapping his arms around him tightly. Shame and guilt, mixed in equal amounts washed over the Weretiger.

"You hurt me, my Love... you hurt me deeply," Conri said, groaning as their weeping erections rubbed together.

"I'm truly sorry, I regret everything," Caleb gasped; his back arching. "Would you ever forgive me? Would you even remember tonight?" He muttered, a stray tear rolled down his face, and he shut his eyes.

"You've changed so much in such a short period of time... I don't even think I know who you are anymore..." Conri rasped, his eyes meeting the Tiger's, but Caleb had his eyes shut tightly. "But, you smell so damn good, I'm losing my senses all over again," He growled, leaning down and lapping hungrily at the Weretiger's neck. Caleb moaned, his back arching. Then, Conri leaned up to kiss his lips. Caleb opened his mouth willingly, and Conri took full advantage of that action by sucking on his tongue. He ran his fingers through his hair gently and cupped his cheek with his palm. "Open your eyes for me, Beautiful." Caleb did as he was told. "I've missed you, my Love." The Lycan whispered. "How do you do that? Make me forget all that has happened. All that you have done?" He asked, panting heavily. Caleb shook his head, feeling his mind fog. "You are an amazing, beautiful creature. My god... my Xiher... the Goddess makes no mistakes whenever she pairs her children, no other Were would fit perfectly in my arms as you do," Conri breathed, pressing a lingering kiss on his forehead.

At this point, Caleb was sure he was delirious from his Rut. Yet, it made his heart soar hearing him claim him so strongly, and his breath hitched when he felt their bond thickening and making him needy. It made him ache to feel Conri inside him... to feel the fullness of being connected to his Mate once again. The thoughts had his body dripping with wetness, his nipples hardened, and he felt his pheromones growing stronger. Conri's pheromones rose in response to his reaction. His breathing hitched and he leaned forward, pressing his chest against Conri's. He arched, moaning loudly, his hand reaching between them to press their cocks together and squeeze. Conri groaned, and his hips thrust forward. Their pheromones filled the atmosphere with electricity. It crackled in every crevice of the house until everything in the apartment began to hum with it.

"Wait," Conri muttered and pulled back, he reached a hand lower to feel his Omega's warmth, felt his wetness, a loud groan tore right out of his throat, and his eyes met the Tiger's. "You're soaking up my fingers, baby!" He breathed out, removing his fingers which were now drenched with his Omega's natural lubricant, then he slicked himself up, shuddering as his hand stroked up and down his length. Caleb watched him touch his rock-hard dick and whimpered.

"Hurry." He wanted his mate inside him.

Now.

Conri rubbed a few more strokes before returning his fingers under Caleb's lewd body, feeling him twitch when his fingers touched his smooth ring. He was soaking, and clamping down on his fingers. "Don't want to hurt you." He pressed one finger inside and Caleb squirmed. It felt good, but it wasn't enough.

"Do it. Don't care, it'll feel so good," he said panting. "Please. I need you in me." He pulled his legs back.

Conri's eyes closed as Caleb begged. It was too much for him, and he leaned forward as he pushed Caleb's legs back even farther. He didn't pause as he pressed his dick forward, thrusting through his Omega's tight ring of muscles to bury inside him. Even with all the wetness, Conri felt his cock burning up from his Omega's heat and tightness.

Caleb shouted as the burn mixed with the pleasure when Conri's wide head slipped in and then nudged his prostate as he thrust forward. He groan and shuddered. Another deep thrust had him opening his eyes that he didn't remember closing.

"Conri- hngh!" His eyes gleamed in the darkness as he stared at the ecstasy on his mate's face. Conri froze, their bodies pressed tight together. "Move. Please," Caleb whimpered.

His head kicked back when Conri did just that, pulling out incredibly slowly before he snapped his hips forward again, one long hard thrust after another.

Caleb was lost in the incredible sensations that passed through their bond as their need grew together. He could barely breathe as he was lost in his mate. He could feel the hunger Conri had as he eyed his neck. His mate wanted to claim him; for the second time, to reconnect the bonds lost. Caleb knew the Alpha's Moon has been dormant since the Betrayal, and should Conri bite into his neck at this very moment, he would raise their bonds higher once again, it might lead to a whole lot of other possibilities.

Possibilities he didn't think the Alpha would accept when he realized what he had done, but now wasn't the time to think things through.

Now was the time to lay still and let his Mate claim him as hard, as deep, and as fast as he pleases.

His balls drew up, and he tilted his head to the side. "Do it!"

His mate struck, those four huge fangs burying deep in his shoulder as his hips began to lose their smooth rhythm and just pound into Caleb. The pain made him freeze for only a second before his head rolled back. It felt so good. He moaned and shuddered as Conri's slightly rough tongue lapped at the skin caught in his mouth.

Caleb felt it; the moment was almost there, the pinnacle that they were both reaching for. He panted, forcing himself to move as he opened his mouth and buried his own fangs into the sweaty skin in front of him, sinking deep into the muscle above Conri's heart.

He would like to see the Fox try to take him now.

Conri jerked and pulled away from his shoulder, roaring as he slammed into Caleb one last time, his cock grew bigger, larger, reaching deep inside his Omega's heat, and Caleb cried loudly when he felt his Mate begin to knot deeply inside him. He cried some more when he began to spill his seed deep inside. Caleb's hand reached down and curled around his dick, tugging on it just twice as he released Conri to add his own roar. He came hard, hot spurts of semen splattering across Conri's bare chest. His body trembled uncontrollably as Conri moved, licking every drop off his chest. Caleb couldn't stop shaking, the Lycan's dick nestled deeply inside him, stretching him to an almost painful level. Conri's cock pulsed in rhythm with the Omega's heartbeat.

Caleb could feel himself leaking so much more from both ends. His breath coming in short gasps, he pushed his head back and forth a few times, his eyes glazed and unfocused as he tried to catch his breath after what seemed like hours of pure pleasure.

The Alpha lifted his hands, cupping Conri's cheeks tenderly while Caleb stared into his lover's mesmerizing color-filled eyes, his breath rugged and uneven. Intense pleasure as their minds met and bonded fully at that moment washed over them and forced their orgasms to continue for almost another full minute. So much passed between them that Caleb couldn't sort it all out. He did feel the intense and overpowering feelings his mate had for him though. But more than that, he did feel the immense affection and love the Lycan still holds for him even after everything he had done. Their links opened to each other once again, his Tiger greeting the Lycan within, their bond rekindled, and their scents merging. Caleb knew after tonight he would wear the Lycan's scent.

And it was all too overwhelming, so much so it brought tears to Caleb's eyes. He waited breathlessly for the Lycan to slip out of him and when he did, Caleb gasped, falling forward into the bed

They were lying on their sides, limbs tangled together as they tried to recover. Lost in the afterglow of the best sex of his life, Caleb closed his eyes, feeling the strong mental cable that tied him to the huge Lycan lounging at his side. Their hands slid over hot skin and petted each other gently as if they were unable to not touch each other.

"I love you," Caleb said simply.

Conri kissed him, their lips touching gently, but before he would reply, he fell limp, asleep.

Caleb wanted to get up and leave him, but remembering that it was what he had done the first time they Mated, he decided against it. Instead, he snuggled up closer and let his thoughts wander off into deep sleep.
