Submit to the Beast (5 page)

Tobias couldn’t help but take a deep
breath, to pull as much of it as he could into his body.

The moment he did he
hardened.

It was instant.

His cock thickened in his sweats, the
blood pulsing along its length. He couldn’t help but let out a low
groan and that was all that it took. The Beast’s eyes narrowed, his
nostrils flared, and he pulled Tobias into his arms.

“
Stubborn human,” he
whispered.

“
What have you done to
me?” Tobias moaned.

“
Only what was always
going to happen,” the Beast said, and then he lowered his head and
he took Tobias’ lips into his own.

The kiss was fast and furious, frantic
even, desire exploding between them in one quick, shocking blast.
Tobias couldn’t fight it, couldn’t even begin to try, and so he let
his body relax, allowed the beast to enfold him into his arms, and
accepted the kiss, accepted the Beast’s ravaging of his lips,
nibbling of his tongue.

When the Beast picked him up, wrapping
Tobias’ legs around his waist, he let him.

When he strode into the bedroom, his
lips now trailing fire along Tobias’ neck, he did not say a single
word.

And when the Beast tumbled
them both onto the bed, the only thought in Tobias’ mind
was:
yes, at last
.

They kissed again, their lips pushing
against each other, their tongues dancing for dominance. The beast
covered him, his body hard and hot against Tobias’.

“
I’ve missed you so bad,”
the Beast whispered. “Wanted you so much.”

Clothes were removed quickly. Both
males were desperate to feel skin on skin, and in no time at all
they were both bare. Excitement shivered along Tobias’ skin, desire
pooled in his gut, and his cock hardened even more from the
friction between their bodies.

The confusion, the anger, the dread,
they were all gone now. Desire reigned supreme, and if Tobias had
been able to pause, to think clearly, to question what was
happening, he would have asked himself how that could be. How one
moment he could be so confused, so resolved to stay away from the
Beast, and then in the next, with a simple shift, a simple second
in time, he could be hard again, panting, wanting nothing more than
to be taken by the Beast, to be fucked by him, to scream in
pleasure as an orgasm was pounded from him.

It made no sense.

But in that moment Tobias did not
care.

The Beast, the pleasure, it was all
that mattered.

“
This is going to be
fast,” the Beast said as he nudged Tobias’ thighs apart. “It’s been
too long.”

“
Yes,” Tobias agreed. “I
need you inside me.”

“
Yes, you do,” the Beast
said. “That’s where I should have been these past weeks. Inside you
over and over, pleasuring you over and over.” He growled. “You
wouldn’t be feeling this way then. I should
never
have let you go.”

“
I—”

He didn’t get a chance to say another
word. The next thing Tobias knew the Beast was making his way down
Tobias’ body and a second later his cock was in the Beast’s
mouth.

God…it was like coming home, like he
had been waiting for this for so long. From being someone who had
barely gotten laid to being showed exactly what real pleasure was,
Tobias now craved it in a way that made him tremble.

The Beast’s mouth was hot and wet and
slippery. He suckled Tobias’ cock in between his lips, flicked his
tongue along his length, nibbled his cock head between his teeth.
Tobias groaned and shifted, lifting his hips, trying to get as much
of himself inside the Beast as he could. Pleasure pooled inside
him, tingles shivered from his cock and along his spine, and he
couldn’t help but pant.

When a finger penetrated his pucker
Tobias almost came there and then. So desperate was he for release
after denying it for so many weeks, he could barely control
himself. But the Beast had no intention of allowing that yet. He
rubbed Tobias’ pucker but penetrated only a little. A moment later
and he released Tobias’ cock, gathered the pre-cum and rubbed that
around his hole.

He was readying him.

Tobias panted his approval.

When the Beast moved back up the bed,
covering Tobias’ body with his own, Tobias lifted his head and
captured the Beast’s lips again. He could taste himself now on the
Beast’s tongue, and it only excited him more.

He opened his legs as wide as they
could go and tilted his hips. The Beast growled with pleasure,
grabbed a pillow and pushed it under Tobias’s ass. He was tilted
just right now, open and ready for the Beast’s invasion.

The Beast did not wait any
longer.

With something that sounded like a
deep sigh of pleasure, he nudged his cock head against Tobias’
pucker. Tobias gripped the Beast’s shoulders, buried his head
against him, and readied himself. He expected some pain, because
the Beast was long and thick, and it had been weeks since he was
last fucked, but there was none. The Beast slipped into him, inch
by pleasure filled inch, and Tobias felt nothing but delight shiver
through him, his channel accepting the Beast with ease.

By the time the Beast was seated deep
inside, Tobias was desperate for more. He tightened his grip on the
Beast’s shoulders, bit down on his chest, giving to the Beast
exactly what had been given to him.

The Beast roared and thrust out before
thrusting back in with a force that made Tobias scream. Their
rhythm was set then in an instant. The Beast pounded Tobias’ ass
with a precision that made Tobias’ head spin. Pleasure ran through
his channel, his cock was thick between the two of them, rubbing
between their bellies, and it was simply a matter of
time.

Over and over the Beast plumbed
him.

Over and over his body rubbed up
against Tobias.

Again and again he whispered how much
he loved it, how much he wanted it.

Again and again Tobias responded by
accepting the Beast’s cock, allowing his body to respond to it, to
love it.

In no time at all, he came with a
force that made him shudder, and the Beast was not far behind. His
cum splashed between them, the Beast’s filled him, shooting into
his channel and making them both slippery and wet.

“
Tobias…” The Beast
groaned. “Tobias…”

And Tobias wanted to whisper back, to
say his lover’s name with the same desperate need…only Tobias
didn’t know it, he didn’t know much at all, except for this, the
pleasure, the desire, it was all about this, and Tobias realized
there and then, that there was no point in denying it any
longer.

In this, he belonged to the Beast, and
there was no point in fighting it anymore.

It was time to submit.

Chapter Six

It was the early hours of the morning
when the Beast stirred. He looked down at Tobias, curled up in his
arms, and then across to the window that gave a view of the valley
below. It wasn’t the valley that held his attention though, it was
something else entirely.

The moon.

The Beast narrowed his eyes and
considered it, and knew that tomorrow it would reach its fullness,
and that meant that tomorrow those below ground who were now of
age, and those from above who had been claimed, would
turn.

Tobias was the only one
who
had
been
claimed.

The only outsider.

But from tomorrow that would no longer
be the case. He would become one of the Beast’s people, and he
would never belong above ground again.

Perhaps, the Beast thought
as he glanced back at his mate,
that
was why Tobias was resisting.
Though he didn’t know what was going to happen to him, the Beast
imagined there must be a part of him that understood instinctively.
Just like how he would be able to find a way back below ground if
he tried, just like how he could feel the Beast’s calls, those
things were part of him now, and the Beast could not take them away
even if he wanted to.

The wheels had been set in motion that
very first night.

The Beast gripped Tobias a little
closer to him, desire shooting through his body at the feel of
Tobias’ skin against his. It was the oddest feeling, to know that
the male beside him was now his. A sort of contentment combined
with excitement. And fact of the matter was, it made no difference
now whether Tobias continued to resist. Tomorrow night the wheels
would come to a halt, and everything would be complete.

The Beast, however, had to ensure that
Tobias wanted it when it happened. Otherwise he would end up like
Layla.

Layla
…she had been the only real mistake of the Beast’s entire
reign as alpha. She was one of only eleven outsiders who had been
brought below ground during his time in charge. The rest had been
readied for their change, had been eager for it when it occurred.
Layla, however, had not. She hadn’t wanted to come below ground,
she hadn’t wanted to change, and because of that her turning had
not been entirely successful. Physically she was almost one of
them, though the red hair remained, incongruous alongside the
thousands of tawny heads, but emotionally? The Beast sighed. She
was not in the right place at all, insisted on coming back above
ground as much as possible, though that desire should have been
muted the moment of her turning.

Would Tobias be the same?

The Beast hoped not, and
that was one of the chief reasons he had let Tobias go. He wanted
Tobias to
want
to
return, to be eager for what was to come…only he wasn’t, and the
Beast was going to have to work hard over the next twenty-four
hours to make that the case. Perhaps he had left it too long?
Perhaps it had been a mistake to wait? He didn’t know the answers
to those questions, and that bothered him. A lot.

Tobias mumbled something,
stirring in the Beast’s arms. He was so fucking beautiful. His
hair, his eyes, everything about him was. He lifted his free hand
and ran it along Tobias’ collarbone. The skin was so soft, so pale.
And then down to his belly, pushing the covers back as he did so.
Tobias was muscled all along this area, though the Beast knew that
was not always the case. Tiny, silver lines snaked around his hips
and pelvis. Marks from when his body had been different. The Beast,
after they had showered following their lovemaking, had taken a few
moments to look around Tobias’ home, and he had seen a picture that
made him pause. It had been Tobias, sat on the beach, dressed in a
tee and a long pair of shorts. He had been different then,
chubbier, softer. The Beast had considered that, wondering if he
would still have felt the same desperate desire for his mate if he
had still looked that way, and he had known instantly that he would
have. It didn’t make any difference to him if Tobias was softer,
more rounded, he would happily have stroked along his softer skin,
his rounded belly, it would have been different, but it would not
be
less
. The
desire was for Tobias. Not just for the muscles and the leanness.
Tobias was his regardless of what he looked like. The Beast would
desire him
because
he was his mate, not because of how he looked.

Beauty is in the eye of
the beholder
…never had that been
truer.

He stroked lower, rubbing over Tobias’
pelvis and to his curls. Gently, the Beast tangled his fingers in
them, tugging slightly. Tobias stirred beneath him, mumbling
something the Beast couldn’t decipher. He tugged again before
making his way down to Tobias’ cock. He was semi-hard, and the
Beast smiled. He loved Tobias’ cock. Loved feeling it in his mouth,
licking around its length. Tobias was not huge in terms of
thickness, but he was perfect in terms of length. The Beast could
not get enough of it.

Carefully, he pulled his arm out from
underneath Tobias then moved down the bed. He wanted Tobias back
inside of him. Wanted to feel his mate come down his throat, and
then lick up every single drop of his seed. If he was honest with
himself, the Beast knew that part of him was hoping to bind Tobias
to him through the pleasure they shared. If Tobias was sated
enough, mindless enough with the need he felt then he would be more
willing to do as the Beast wanted.

Was that fair?

The Beast wasn’t sure, but
he didn’t care. In the end this was all for Tobias, because
he
would
be
happier this way. The Beast knew that in the end, nothing would
make Tobias as happy as he could, even if that meant he would be
spending the rest of his life below ground, living with creatures
that were little more than fairytales to the rest of the
world.

He moved down to the bottom of the bed
before sinking to his knees on the floor, his head now in between
Tobias’ legs. Gently, the Beast tugged him down, wrapping each of
Tobias’ legs over his shoulders.

Tobias’ cock was right there, ready
for him, in no time at all. He smelled of the blue shower gel they
had soaped each other in, a light fresh musk. The Beast wanted to
lick it all off until he could taste Tobias. His mate tasted
beautiful.
