Page 56 of Sobek’s Joy

Sobek didn’t last long after that. With a deep, guttural groan, he buried himself to the hilt one final time, his release filling Rudy with heat. He held him there, their bodies locked together, as the last shudders of pleasure racked through them both.

For a long moment, neither of them moved. Rudy remained slumped against Sobek’s chest, boneless and sated, his breath slowly returning to normal. Sobek pressed a kiss to the top of his head, his arms wrapping tightly around him.

“Mine,” he murmured, as if he needed to remind himself.

Rudy huffed a tired laugh. “Yours.”

But Sobek wasn’t finished with him yet. As the water settled around them and their breathing steadied, Sobek’s hand began to trace idle patterns over Rudy’s skin, his touch turning from possessive to reverent.

Rudy shivered, even though the water was warm. “Again?”

Sobek’s chuckle was a dark, delicious sound. “Not yet. But soon.”

Rudy groaned, but it wasn’t a protest. Not really. He tilted his head back, catching Sobek’s lips in a slow, lazy kiss. When he pulled back, he grinned. “You’re going to wear me out before the kids wake up from their naps.”

Sobek’s eyes gleamed. “A challenge I’m happy to accept.”

Rudy laughed, shaking his head before pressing another kiss to Sobek’s mouth. “Let me recover for five minutes, at least. And then you can do that thing with your tongue that makes me see stars.”

Sobek’s grip on him tightened, and suddenly Rudy was being lifted out of the water, his back pressed against the edge of the tub as Sobek knelt between his legs. The water sluiced off his skin as Sobek’s mouth found his softening cock, his tongue swirling around the sensitive head.

Rudy’s breath hitched. “Oh. Oh, fuck…”

Sobek’s tongue was wicked, doing things that had Rudy’s hips jerking up off the tub’s edge despite his earlier exhaustion. He ran his fingers through Sobek’s bald head, not guiding, just holding on as his mate took him deep, his throat working around Rudy’s cock in a way that had him hardening all over again.

“Sobek, I…I can’t…” But he could. He did. With a cry, his back arching, Rudy came again, his release spilling down Sobek’s throat as the god swallowed around him, milking every last drop from him.

Sobek pulled back with a satisfied smirk, his lips glistening. “I told you five minutes was more than enough.”

Rudy could only pant, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath. “You’re a menace.”

Sobek’s smirk only deepened as he stood, lifting Rudy out of the tub as if he weighed nothing. Water sluiced off them both as Sobek carried him into the bedroom, laying him out on the bed before crawling over him, caging him in with his big body.

Rudy wrapped his arms around Sobek’s neck, pulling him down for another kiss. This one was slower, softer, the kind of kiss that felt like a promise. When they broke apart, Sobek rested his forehead against Rudy’s, his breath warm against his skin.

“You’re perfect,” Sobek murmured.

Rudy smiled, his fingers tracing the strong line of Sobek’s jaw. “You’re not so bad yourself.”

Sobek’s expression turned serious, his dark eyes searching Rudy’s face. “You’re mine, Rudy Crisp. All of you. Forever.”

Rudy’s heart stuttered. He’d known, logically, that this was forever. But hearing the words, feeling the weight of them in Sobek’s voice, settled something deep inside him. “And you’re mine,” he whispered. “So stop talking and fuck me.”

Sobek didn’t need to be told twice. In one fluid motion, he flipped Rudy onto his stomach, his big hands spreading his thighs. Rudy buried his face in the pillow, his body already thrumming with need again. He ached, but it was a good ache, the kind that made him feel alive, wanted.

The cap of lube clicked open, and then Sobek’s fingers were back, pressing inside him, lubing him up again with a care that belied the hunger in his touch. Rudy moaned, his hips pushing back into the touch, already desperate for more.

“Please, Sobek…”

Sobek’s answer was the thick head of his cock pressing against Rudy’s entrance. And then, with one deep, relentless thrust, he was inside again, filling Rudy so completely it stole his breath.

“Fuck…yes…”

Sobek set a punishing pace, each snap of his hips driving Rudy into the mattress. The bed creaked beneath them, the sound mixing with the slick, wet noises of their bodies and the ragged cries falling from Rudy’s lips.

“Harder,” Rudy gasped, his fingers clutching at the sheets. “I can take it…”

Sobek groaned, his grip on Rudy’s hips tightening to the point of pain. And then he gave Rudy what he asked for. The headboard slammed against the wall with each movement, the sound a staccato rhythm that matched the pounding of Rudy’s heart.
