Untamed Hawaiian Heat (Rift Hunters) (19 page)

“Don’t you dare!” Tiaki whispered, his eyes the color of burnished gold. “This time, you’re mine.”

Before Tiaki could force him to release the tight suction of his mouth, Mateo began to stroke and suck until Tiaki arched his back as his orgasm continued to build as though he hadn’t stopped at all. All coherent thought of what Tiaki had meant by his statement fled Mateo’s mind. All that mattered was tasting Tiaki’s cum on his tongue, feeling the heat of it as it hit the back of his throat.

Tiaki’s balls drew up tight against his hands as Mateo fondled the length of his shaft. Mateo felt his own cock growing tight at the knowledge he affected Tiaki so much. Mateo felt the first pulse of Tiaki’s orgasm in his own cock. They built in intensity until Tiaki spurted his hot cum in Mateo’s mouth.

Mateo sucked until the pulses ebbed to miniscule quivers. In the back of his mind, he acknowledged he’d never experienced this kind of connection with anyone other than Kiana. He released his hold on Tiaki and started to back away.

He needed to get away from Tiaki. He shouldn’t feel this way about him. It was a stain on the memory of Remi. Mateo had barely gotten hold of his shirt on the floor when Tiaki grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back down.

* * * *

Tiaki lay completely still for a moment, trying to catch his breath. He’d never experienced anything this intense with any of the male lovers he’d had in the past. The only other person he could recall sharing this level of intimacy with was Kiana. Hearing the rustle of fabric as Mateo picked up his shirt, Tiaki stirred. There was no way he was letting Mateo get away after finally cracking the barrier he’d built around his heart.

There was too much riding on his acknowledgment of the soul bond.

Tiaki sat up and forced him back down. “Where the hell do you think you’re going? We’re not finished here.”

Mateo shoved Tiaki hard and sat up. Tiaki saw the need to escape burning in his eyes.

“Yes, we are,” he said, his words clipped, as though he’d had to force them out.

Tiaki pressed Mateo back onto the mat with one hand and straddled his hips. “No. We’re not. I told you”—Tiaki leaned down and brushed his lips across Mateo’s mouth. Leaning away, he looked into his eyes—“this time, you’re mine.”

Mateo raised his hands to push Tiaki off.

Tiaki reached for his magic. It rushed to do his bidding. Focusing it, he whispered the words of a spell in his mind.

Mateo struggled beneath him as the magical bonds closed around his wrists. “Release me.”

Tiaki held his gaze. He acknowledged the anger he saw simmering there. But there was also the tiniest glimmer of acceptance as well…even if Mateo was fighting it. “No. You started this.” He shifted so his body lay firmly against Mateo. “I’m going to make sure you understand what’s at stake if you refuse the soul bond.” Tiaki crushed his mouth over Mateo’s, smothering any protest he might have made.

Tiaki licked the seam of his lips. When Mateo continued to clench his jaw to keep it shut, Tiaki ground his cock against Mateo’s hard shaft, making him gasp at the friction. Tiaki grinned and plunged his tongue into the recesses of Mateo’s mouth. Savored the lingering taste of his cum.

Mateo thrashed, tugging at his wrists as he tried to break the bonds Tiaki had woven around them. All to no avail. Even as Mateo attempted to free himself, Tiaki sensed the restlessness of Mateo’s magic churning in his veins. It reached out to Tiaki, seeking to combine with his.

For the first time since he’d realized Mateo and Kiana were his soul mates, Tiaki loosened the restraints he’d placed on his magic. It was time Mateo learned exactly what kind of ecstasy they could bring one another. True, Mateo had felt it when he’d pleasured him, but Tiaki had still held tight control of his magic.

This time, all hell would break loose.

The magic intensified in his veins like it did when he tapped into the core of a planet. It slammed through his body, reaching for Mateo. Tiaki shuddered and let it flow until it permeated every pore in his body. It snaked around their entwined limbs like it was binding them together. Mateo jerked beneath him.

It took a moment for Tiaki to realize Mateo’s magic was mirroring his. He released his mouth and leaned back, leaving just enough room to reach between them so he could rid Mateo of his pants. The need to be buried in Mateo’s ass flared in his blood. Tiaki bit into Mateo’s lower lip until Mateo opened his eyes.

Tiaki froze. For a moment, he could do nothing but stare as the sapphire strands of Mateo’s magic coalesced until his eyes resembled smooth, sapphire-tinged steel. He sucked in a ragged breath, his hands trembling as he made short work of the belt and buttons covering Mateo’s erection. “Do you understand what’s happening?” He brushed a light kiss over Mateo’s lips. “That’s our magic trying to meld together.” Tiaki pushed the edges of Mateo’s fly open and shifted his hips, rubbing their cocks together. “Can you feel my pleasure rushing through your veins?” Tiaki moved to the side and pushed Mateo’s pants down, tearing the laces of his combat boots in his haste to have Mateo naked beneath him.

Tiaki ran a hand down Mateo’s side and felt the fluttering impression of fingers trailing down his. When he reached Mateo’s groin, Tiaki called his magic as he did when they’d made love to Kiana until his hand tingled with the warmth of it coating them; then he grasped Mateo’s shaft and stroked it as he caressed, kissed, and nibbled at his chest.

Mateo moaned and pumped his hips upward, thrusting his cock through the circle of Tiaki’s hand.

Tiaki shook at the feeling of a phantom hand stroking his cock in time with Mateo’s thrusts. When Mateo lifted his knees and let them fall open, Tiaki almost came on the mat, the anticipation of possessing this gorgeous man racing straight to his cock. Leaning down, he took Mateo’s shaft into his mouth and slid his fingers down to the sensitive muscles of his anus. Slowly he pushed the tip of one finger past the tight barrier.

Mateo cried out and arched his hips, shoving his cock into Tiaki’s mouth until the head touched the back of Tiaki’s throat.

Tiaki groaned around the thick shaft filling him. The intense pleasure of his cock being buried inside a hot mouth crashed over him. He pushed his finger all the way into Mateo’s tight ass. The thought of how it would squeeze his dick sent a new flood of heat racing through him, causing his magic to pulse with an almost painful urgency to meld with Mateo’s. He added another finger to torment his mate, preparing him to take his cock.

Mateo threaded his fingers into Tiaki’s hair. “That’s it. Suck my dick. Oh God… That feels so fucking good.”

Tiaki pushed against Mateo’s hold until he released him. “Mmm. You like that. What about this?” He pumped his fingers in and out, stretching the hole wider with a scissoring motion. “Do you want me to fill this tight ass with my cock?”

Mateo moaned as Tiaki moved to lay beside him, never breaking contact with his body.

Tiaki nipped at the lightning bolts tattooed over Mateo’s shoulder, loving the tingle of electric current his magic produced in the inked lines. He continued kissing and biting until he reached Mateo’s ear. He pushed his fingers deep into his ass and pressed on his prostate, making Mateo buck wildly in his arms. “Say it, Mateo,” Tiaki breathed into his ear, then caught his earlobe in his teeth. He bit down gently as he worked his fingers in Mateo’s ass. “Tell me you want me to push my cock deep inside you.” He mimicked the words with his fingers. “Pound into you until you scream my name as you spill all over your stomach.” Tiaki demanded, his control slipping with every passing second. He wanted to be inside his mate so bad, but he wanted, needed, to hear him say he wanted it too.

Mateo thrashed his head from side to side as though trying to deny his feelings. Even though he knew he couldn’t. Not with Tiaki being able to feel every last one through the link of their magic.

“Feel the way my magic swirls around yours…caressing your senses… Feel the way our combined energy pulses like a gentle flame? Think of how much more intense it will be when Kiana’s magic joins ours. Tell me you want me to fuck your tight ass, Mateo, so you can feel our magic soar together.” Tiaki stopped moving his fingers until Mateo opened his eyes and looked at him. “Say it,
tōku wairua
!”

Mateo’s breathing was ragged as his gaze remained locked with Tiaki’s for a long moment. “Fuck me, Hunter. I need to feel your hard cock deep inside me.”

Tiaki slid his fingers from Mateo and moved between his legs. He wanted to bury himself inside Mateo before Mateo changed his mind. He needed to connect with him to help him past whatever demons kept him from accepting the soul bond. He called to his magic. It coated his cock as a natural lubricant. He pressed the head of his dick against the tight opening of Mateo’s ass.

Tiaki tried to go slow, but Mateo reached up, captured Tiaki’s lips, wrapped his legs around his back, and impaled himself in one quick thrust.

Tiaki broke the kiss and pushed his cock deep inside Mateo. “Ahh. Oh gods!” His shaft throbbed inside the hot, clenching muscles of Mateo’s ass. The feeling of his own ass being filled rushed through him as well, increasing the lust tenfold.

Mateo pushed against his hips. “Fuck me, Tiaki. I need to feel you,” he moaned.

Tiaki took a deep breath to regain his suddenly nonexistent equilibrium. Then he began to move. Rocking his hips against Mateo, he plunged his cock in and out of his tight ass. The pressure of both of their orgasms built with each thrust.

“That’s it. Fuck me hard, Hunter.” Mateo groaned.

Tiaki tried to form words to respond, but coherent thought escaped him as the pleasure mounted in his blood. Mateo continued to demand more until he couldn’t tell if the waves of pleasure crashing through him were his or Mateo’s. A spike of energy rushed through him as his climax neared. He fell forward. He caught himself on his hands and moved faster until Mateo cried out.

“Yes, Tiaki. Oh God,
yes
.”

Tiaki glanced down as the muscles in Mateo’s ass clamped down hard around his cock and saw the first spurt of cum spray from Mateo’s dick over his taut stomach. The sight of it pushed Tiaki over the edge, and he felt his cock pulse and release his load deep inside Mateo. He threw back his head and roared.

Tiaki collapsed on top of Mateo and held him close. Neither one said anything as they fought to regain control of their racing hearts. Their magic sighed in satisfaction. After a few long moments, Tiaki stirred and raised his head to look at Mateo. “Search your heart, Mateo. You know you’re meant to complete the soul bond with Kiana and me.” He leaned down and brushed his lips against Mateo’s. “Do you really think Remi would want you to deny…” Mateo’s eyes flew open, and the words died in his throat.

Putting the full force of his magic behind him, Mateo shoved him off and rose to his feet. “Don’t ever say his name again, Hunter.”

Tiaki stared at Mateo as he gathered his clothes and started pulling them on. “So that’s it, then? You’re going to ignore everything your body and soul are screaming for you to embrace to preserve the memory of an old lover?” He rose and started jerking his clothes on.

Mateo stopped halfway to the door but didn’t turn around. “You don’t know what he meant to me.”

Tiaki approached Mateo. “You’re right. I don’t. But I do know what you’re giving up if you refuse to complete the soul bond.” He raised his hand, aching to take hold of Mateo and spin him around so he could see his eyes, but thought better of it. “I may not know what the soul bond feels like in its entirety, but I’ve seen the connection forged between those who have completed it.”

When Mateo didn’t respond, Tiaki finally gave in and made him turn around. “What happened between us here”—he gestured to the room—“was barely a taste of what we would share. Especially when you add Kiana into the mix. Can you imagine a connection with her that goes deeper than the one you have through your cybernetic link?”

Tiaki slowly raised his hand to Mateo’s jaw and caressed it, afraid if he moved too fast, Mateo would run. “Don’t you think you deserve to grasp the kind of passion…the happiness the three of us could have?” He leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to Mateo’s lips. “Don’t you think Remi would want you to?”

Mateo closed his eyes.

When he didn’t draw away, Tiaki slipped a hand beneath the hem of Mateo’s shirt and grazed his stomach, still sticky with his cum. He forced himself to continue moving slow, savoring every shudder he felt course though Mateo. Closing the distance between their mouths, he licked Mateo’s lower lip and sucked at it, letting the heat they’d experienced mere minutes before build again.

Mateo shoved him away. “I can’t.”

Tiaki stared at Mateo, noting the anguish he hid so well floating to the surface before he could mask it. “How can you still deny this connection after what just happened, Mateo?”

“Nothing happened, Hunter. That was a mistake.”

“A mistake…” Tiaki fell silent, the words dying on his lips when he caught sight of Kiana standing in the doorway.

Mateo turned to see what had caught his attention, and swore.

Chapter Sixteen

Kiana closed her eyes and relished the cool water as it surged around her feet before being sucked back out to sea. Her mind kept wandering, when she should be paying attention to what her dad was saying.

She couldn’t shake the thought of Mateo shutting her out. Well, unless they were making love. Then he managed to be present. Yet the desperation she felt roiling through their link then made her want to cry. He wanted to make sure she knew he felt she belonged to him. She agreed he held her heart, but what she felt with Tiaki… She was fast coming to believe she might be falling in love with him as well. Which scared the hell out of her, even as she sensed Mateo was experiencing the same.

She’d also been remembering more of the visions she’d had as a teenager. Visions of Tiaki, Mateo, and her. After the vision she’d had during the conference last week, she’d thought a lot about how her mom had reacted to the “dreams” she’d had as a teenager. Needless to say, she hadn’t slept well since that vision had overwhelmed her. Especially since she spent most of her days training with Tiaki, which meant she had to suppress her feelings for him lest she upset the delicate truce she and Mateo had called. Then she would spend the darkest part of the night in the sensual dominance Mateo had started using to try to bind her to him even more.
