A grin pulled at Snooke’s lips. “You are such a dork.”

Chapter Five

“Let me show you what a dork can do.” Kane slid his hands around Snooke’s waist and pulled him up into those strong arms. Snooke’s head fell back as Kane began to kiss down his neck, sucking and twirling his tongue over Snooke’s Adam’s apple.

Snooke’s neck was on fire as Kane made a trail down to his collarbone. Kane’s mouth covered Snooke’s skin hungrily. Snooke clutched Kane’s hair, his lips parting as Kane’s hands traveled down his spine, covering his buttocks, and then squeezed.

Want crashed over him as Snooke’s cock pulsed out a rhythm to Kane’s tongue. The fear he held inside melted away as Kane held him close. Kane lifted his head and stared down at Snooke. His eyes were soft, tender. Kane looked at Snooke as if he were the stars and the moon. At that moment Snooke knew he didn’t want Kane to ever leave his side.

He loved Kane.

Kane now owned Snooke’s heart.

“I’ve been a lonely warrior until you.” Kane took Snooke’s lips, his tongue exploring the recesses of Snooke’s mouth. Snooke whimpered as Kane slowly walked them over to his bed. He gently lay Snooke down. For every inch Kane exposed of Snooke’s chest, he kissed, licked, and nipped. His fingers slowly unbuttoned Snooke’s shirt, kissing and pressing his lips upon Snooke’s heart.

Snooke pulled his arms free from his shirt as Kane kissed his way down Snooke’s chest to his abdomen. Snooke’s cock jumped when Kane bit the clasp to his slacks, and then mouthed his erection through the fabric. Tension began to build in Snooke. The need to come was getting close. He closed his eyes, willing himself to calm down.

Kane slid the clasp free from Snooke’s pants as his lips worked Snooke’s cock. When his shaft was finally free, Kane slipped it into his mouth.

“Oh,” Snooke groaned. He raised his legs as Kane slid his pants down and then off. Snooke grabbed his knees and pulled them back, giving his lover all of him. The voice in the back of Snooke’s mind kept telling him to leave and never look back. Kane didn’t need to get involved. But his body wouldn’t listen.

Kane was fast becoming his whole world, and that was dangerous. Snooke lost his train of thought and gasped as Kane’s tongue pushed past the ring of muscles, his hands gliding over the back of Snooke’s thighs.

His skin began to hum when Kane licked a path up to his balls, circling around them and taking each orb into his mouth. Had anyone ever taken their time to make love to Snooke’s body like this? Snooke’s head thrashed back and forth, his hands fisting the sheets. “K–Kane.”

Snooke could feel the pre-cum leaking onto his stomach as Kane lapped his way up and then licked his belly clean, taking his cock into the haven of his mouth. Snooke bucked, his hips thrusting as Kane worked Snooke’s cock down his throat.

Snooke’s back bowed as Kane’s throat muscles worked his shaft. His legs swung up, and his feet planted themselves onto Kane’s back. Snooke fucked Kane’s mouth in frenzy.

Kane’s fingers massaged Snooke’s hot, sensitive skin, sending his senses to another realm. Snooke felt as though he wasn’t even in his own body. Kane had taken him to the highest peak, and that’s where they were hovering now.

Currents of fire shot through him as Kane worked his cock, taking Snooke so close to the edge, he could see the abyss below.

“Kane!” Snooke cried to the heavens as he came. Kane drank him down, body and soul. There wasn’t one part of Snooke that Kane didn’t own now.

He fell back on the bed as Kane rose above him, staring down at Snooke with hooded eyes. The warrior pulled his shirt over his head, tossing it aside, his eyes never leaving Snooke’s.

Snooke’s heart beat loudly in his chest as Kane kicked his jeans off. His lover stood there gloriously naked, his cock hitting his abdomen. There was no rolling away now, and Snooke didn’t want to.

Kane slid onto the bed, his hands skating up Snooke’s body as the strength of Kane blanketed him. “I knew I’d get you in my bed.” Kane lowered his head and took one of Snooke’s nipples into his mouth. He could feel Kane’s cockhead at his anus, the pre-cum relaxing his muscles.

Snooke spread his legs wider, wanting to feel his lover buried deep inside of him. Why couldn’t he crawl inside Kane and live there safely forever?

His hands came down on Kane’s head, pulling at the mahogany hair as the warrior gently bit his nipple, teasing it with his lips. Goose bumps broke out over Snooke’s skin as Kane’s fingers traced over his shoulders and down his arms.

Snooke lifted his legs higher as Kane slowly pushed through, breaching him, taking Snooke’s body in more than just the physical sense. He could feel his lover’s cock deep inside as his warrior lifted his head and stared into Snooke’s eyes. “You’re mine.” Kane lowered his head, tracing Snooke’s lips with his tongue. “I’ll never let you go.” Their lips collided in a fierce play of desire, hungrily taking what the other offered.

But I’ll just break your heart
. Snooke’s mind whispered the words. He wrapped his legs around Kane’s waist, feeling the steel shaft moving in and out of his body.

Snooke cried out when he felt the binding begin.
No!
Kane couldn’t be his mate.
God no.
This couldn’t be happening. It wasn’t safe for Kane to be near him, but now they were mates. A single tear slid down the side of Snooke’s face as he thought of how Kane would be in danger now.

They both would be.

“Snooke,” Kane gasped, locking eyes with Snooke. A smile formed on Kane’s face. “I knew you were the one. From the moment I saw you, I knew.”

Snooke felt like he was spiraling out of control as Kane thrust harder. His cock was smashed between his body and the warrior’s solid muscles. The friction was going to make him come again.

“My shorty.” Kane kissed down Snooke’s neck tenderly. “My Snooke.”

“Kane.” Snooke whispered the name, feeling his body ignite as Kane wrapped his arms around Snooke’s body and jetted into him. His mate shouted as his ass filled with Kane’s hot seed.

Snooke reached between them, bringing himself off for the second time. He tightened his legs around Kane as he came.

Kane lay wrapped around Snooke as Snooke stared at the ceiling. How had everything gone so right, and so wrong, all at the same time?

Kane turned to his side and pulled Snooke to his chest, curling around him as Kane petted his back. “My mate.” He kissed Snooke’s temple.

Snooke lay there until he knew Kane was asleep. He pulled away and got dressed.

He stood in the bedroom doorway staring at the sleeping warrior. It was his shame to bear. Kane was innocent in all this. Why should the warrior pay for Snooke’s sins? He shouldn’t, and Snooke was going to make damn sure he didn’t. Snooke would pay the price to keep the warrior safe. The price being his heart ripping out of his very chest.

He smiled as he saw Kane turn over, snoring loud enough to wake the dead.

His mate.

I love you.
Snooke hung his head as he turned around and walked out.

Hondo stepped into Malcor’s, Rainerio and Kane at his flanks. He looked around, taking in the busy restaurant. The place was somewhere you would take a date to show off or to entertain a large group.

Malcor’s had a nice atmosphere to it. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. There were couples laughing together, looking like they hadn’t a care in the world. Hondo was glad he and Chris had that kind of carefree relationship. It wasn’t easy, but they were finally back to the fun friendship they had shared for so long.

Hondo sniffed the air. The aromas wafting his way smelled tantalizing. He was ready to grab a seat and order.

“Over there.” Hondo nodded to a table with a very large man sitting there holding court with a half a dozen others. His brows shot to his hairline, and then he quickly masked his expression when his eyes and the elf’s locked together.

It was the same elf that had kept coming to Chris’s to warn that
everything is not as it seems
. He could see the fear pouring off the creature. Hondo wondered why the elf was sitting with these rough-looking demons, but kept the question to himself. If the elf’s eyes were anything to go by, the questions wouldn’t be welcomed.

The three warriors stepped to the table, Hondo averting his eyes from the elf as Kane spoke. “I’m looking for someone who has been seen here a lot. His name is Snooke. He’s about five foot six, blue eyes, and he has white hair.”

The large man chuckled, but not before Hondo saw rage in the depths of the bastard’s eyes. This guy knew something. He sat there looking smug. A man who thought he owed the world nothing, but the world owed him everything. Hondo hated people like that.

“I only eat here. What do I look like, the owner, a waiter? Go ask Malcor.” The man waved his hand dismissively, as if the warriors were a fly buzzing around his head. An annoyance.

Hondo grabbed Kane’s forearm when Kane lurched forward. He could see the rage on Kane’s face, and the warrior didn’t mask his. Hondo’s fingers itched to let Kane free, to see the smug look leave the bastard’s face. But they didn’t operate like that. The warriors were the good guys.

“Thank you for your time.” Hondo nodded, taking another glance at the elf before walking over to the bar. He asked Malcor, but the owner hadn’t a clue either.

“Why would Torky say Snooke hung in here if no one even knows who we are talking about?” Rainerio asked.

“I need to find that fucker,” Kane stated through clenched teeth as he pushed the door open and stepped out of the restaurant.

“Go calm him before everyone on the street is frozen. I need to make a phone call.”

Rainerio nodded and headed for the door.

Hondo pulled his cell out, watching the patrons in the restaurant.

“Panahasi.”

“It’s me. No one knows who Snooke is at Malcor’s.”

“Or that’s what they are saying. I have a feeling they do.”

Hondo shot a glance over at the table before looking away. “Remember that elf I told you about?”

“He’s there?”

“Yeah.” Hondo scratched his jaw as he looked from the corner of his eye. The elf sat rigid next to the large demon. He could tell the elf would rather be anywhere but at that table. Hondo headed for the door, knowing they had more pressing issues. It ate at him to leave the delicate creature behind. “I don’t know what to make of it. He’s sitting at a table full of men, looking scared shitless.”

“Leave that to me. Go to Bernard’s Buybacks. The owner says he has info on the crystal.”

“Will do, boss man.” Hondo pocketed his phone as he joined the other two warriors.

Kane put on a burst of speed, leapt through the air, and tackled Torky. Their bodies rolled a few times before Kane shot to his feet and pulled the bastard up, slamming him into the wall. “Where the fuck is he?” he snarled.

“I told you. Snooke hangs at the Malcor’s.” The demon yelped when Kane’s fist hit the brick wall beside his head.

“He isn’t there, and no one knows who I was talking about. Try again or I’m gonna feed you to the troll down by the river.”

“Kane!” Hondo shouted as he and Rainerio caught up with him. “Let him go.”

Kane glared at the demon before opening his fist and letting the punk drop to the ground. Snooke had disappeared from his bed, and it had been two days since he’d seen him. Kane was going out of his mind with worry.

“I have to find my mate,” Kane shouted at the two warriors. “What if something happened to him?” He spun on his booted heel and started walking down Broadview. “Has Chris seen him?”
