"If my body had a say, I wouldn't turn away. Touch, make love, taste you. If my body told the truth, baby I would do just what I want to."
~Demi Lovato, 'Body Say'

*Ryland's POV*

My arms are snuggly wrapped around Landon, and his around me as we lay on my bed. After Landon's confrontation with Leon yesterday, he's rarely left my side. The only time we've been apart is to shower and use the toilet. Other than that, we can't seem to let go of each other.

From what Lyn told me, this is an obvious sign that we're nearing our heats. I really should be making preparations to keep River from trying to jump on Landon, but I can't seem to focus on anything other than staying wrapped up in my mate's arms.

My nose brushes against Landon's throat as I inhale his scent. The addictive scent of lavender and pine draws me in, and I start peppering soft kisses along Landon's throat.

Landon moans, tilting his head back to give me more access to his tantalizing throat. I take his offering happily, leaving purple love bites along his skin. Each time my tongue sneaks out for a taste of him, Landon shivers in my arms, fueling my excitement.

"Fuck," he releases a breathy groan, tightening his hold on me. Smiling against his throat, I roll us until I'm on top, straddling him. Landon stares up at me, his crystal blue eyes wide with desire. His golden blonde hair is disheveled from lazing around in bed all day, making me want to sink my fingers into his golden tresses and never let go.

"Gorgeous," I murmur a praise, brushing my thumb over his pink bottom lip. "You look so good like this."

Landon snatches my hand and nips at my fingertips. "I could say the same about you. You look so fucking sexy on top of me."

I quirk an eyebrow. "So you like this then?" I ask with a teasing grin. "Having me on top?"

A deep blush spreads across Landon's face as he stammers. Giggling, I lean down and brush my lips against his ear.

"Don't be embarrassed, baby," I whisper lowly. "I like when you're on top of me too."

His blush deepens, and I can practically see the images running through his mind based on how rapidly the scent of his arousal is growing. With a soft laugh, I move my lips down to his cheek, leaving tender kisses in my wake. I take my time pressing my lips against his cheek, down to his defined jawline.

Landon grunts beneath me, hips subtly rocking as my lips trail down his jaw. Becoming impatient with my teasing touches, Landon places his fingers beneath my chin to push my lips towards his.

A very faint alarm in the back of my mind is telling me to stop, knowing what happens each time Landon and I are in these types of situations. I get over excited, causing River to try and break free, which leads to me having to shut everything down before my collar can shock me. I know we should stop, but once Landon's mouth fully covers mine, that nagging voice is drowned out completely.

I grip Landon's hair as our kiss quickly grows passionate. The scent of his arousal fogs my mind, and suddenly all I can think about is pleasing my mate.

Landon's tongue invades my mouth, making me moan as he sweeps over my tongue. I push my hips down onto his pelvis as I roughly suck on his tongue. A growl rumbles in Landon's chest, and he begins to tug at my clothing.

"Off," he mumbles against my lips. I groan in frustration at having to part from my delectable mate, standing up to quickly strip down to my underwear. Landon copies me until we're back in our former position, moaning happily at the skin-on-skin contact.

With nothing but our boxers in between us, my skin heats up from Landon's hands roaming my body. He grabs my ass, kneading it as he rocks his hips. I whimper, pushing my ass down harder onto him and feeling his prominent erection rubbing against me.

"Fuck, honeybee," Landon groans between kisses, the nickname sending a jolt straight to my cock. I suddenly recall that on our first date, I left Landon with blue balls after things had gotten heated. A wicked smile spreads across my face, and I resolve to not let that happen tonight.

I detach my lips from his, kissing and suckling down to his neck and chest, leaving soft bruises behind. The sight of his skin marked by my lips makes me growl as the desire to mark him for real surges up. I push those urges down and continue on my journey down his toned body. Landon squirms and moans beneath me, hands coming up to my hair. I nip at his defined hipbones as my fingers curl around the waistband of his boxers.

Looking up at him, I pause as I wait for permission to keep going. Panting, Landon looks at me with pleading blue eyes.

"Please, baby, please don't tease me," he begs, and that's all I need to hear.

Slipping off his underwear, I come face-to-face with his leaking cock. His shaft is long and smooth, save for a vein that runs along the underside. The head is swollen and red with the need to release, reminding me once again of how I left him hanging the other night. Precum drips down from his slit, making me lick my lips in anticipation.

I grasp his erection in my hand, slowly pumping him. Landon's legs are already shaking as I work him at an agonizingly slow pace, amping up his desire for more.

"R-Ryland..." Landon stammers, gripping the silken locks of my hair. His body is still shaking, only now I can sense a hint of nerves among his arousal. I grab one of his hands, intertwining our fingers as I give him a warm smile. Landon's smiles back, his shaking ceasing as the aura of nervousness dies down.

"Do you want me to stop?"

He's quick to shake his head. "No, please, keep going."

Giving him another smile, I press a kiss to his thigh before bringing my lips back to his cock. I flick my tongue out experimentally, tasting his precum. Landon shudders and urges me to keep going. I wrap my lips around the swollen tip as my hand pumps his length. He moans loudly, covering his mouth in an attempt to muffle his noises. Feeling confident from his reactions, I take more of his length into my mouth. As I begin to bob my head up and down, I flatten my tongue along his protruding vein. The thickness of his cock stretches my lips, and I moan at how full my mouth feels.

"G-Good, that's r-really good!" Landon praises as I swallow him down. I keep my eyes locked on his face, not wanting to miss one second of the way he looks as I pleasure him.

I'm able to relax my throat enough to take the rest of him into my mouth, until my nose is brushing against his pelvis. My own erection is painfully hard just from having my mate's cock in my mouth, and I haven't even been touched yet. I swirl my tongue around his length, humming at how strangely delicious he tastes. It's probably because he's my mate, but his taste is so much better than I could have imagined.

"Fuck, Ry— ah, I'm c-close!" Landon warns me, tugging at my hair to try and pull me off his cock. And I do pull back, but only for a moment as I lick my swollen lips.

"I want to taste you," I purr, dipping down to engulf his cock once more. Landon groans, thrusting his hips upward. Relaxing my jaw, I let him fuck my mouth as he chases his release.

"Fuck, fuck, ahhh!!" Landon cries out, back arching as he shoots his hot seed down my throat. I continue to lap at his cock, licking up every last drop of my mate's cum. Once he's come down from his high, I release his half-hard erection from my mouth and look at him with a pleased smile. Landon's eyes are heavy-lidded with lust; cheeks flushed from the intense orgasm he just experienced.

I yelp as I'm suddenly tackled onto the bed with Landon hovering over me. His lips capture mine in a hungry kiss; the taste of his essence floating between our tongues. He bites my bottom lip before pulling back to look at me with glowing blue eyes.

I'm hit with a new wave of arousal as the temperature in the room spikes. We both moan simultaneously as the stench of lust and arousal permeates the room. Our eyes lock on each other, and we both know what's happening.

Heat.

~~~

Aaahhhhhh, HEAT!!
Needless to say, next chapter gets a tad wild

What'd you think of the smut?? Was it good??

Also, this is really random but I don't know if you guys have noticed that the human-wolf counterparts first names all start with the same letter
(Landon/Leo, Ryland/River, Veronica/Valeria, etc)

Thoughts??

Q: Would you rather be a vampire, werewolf, or witch?
[I'd rather be a witch tbh]

See you next time!
