  Chapter One

  Rudo Sarr felt like he was going crazy. His body was exhausted and sore from being let out to roam a bit through the trees, for exercise. But he could scent that the little redheaded vampire was his mate, which set his body on fire. In the past week since being freed from the company that had imprisoned him and experimented on him, he couldn’t shift out of his rhino and back into his human form to claim his hot little twink, so his body warred against him, half too exhausted to move at times, and half fighting to shift back.

  Rudo stopped and looked up at the blue sky, and took in a deep breath of the fresh air. After being kept in the dark basement of that abomination of a company for months, he enjoyed being outdoors now more than ever, especially when his mate always accompanied him.

  Ryker’s spicy scent wafted around him as he stepped up next to him. “Come on, stud,” he said, scratching behind one of his ears, “my brother said he’s got a surprise for us.”

  Rudo groaned at his mate’s touch and leaned into it. Desire cut through his body and heated his blood. The ache in his balls caused him more pain than anything else.

  Ryker’s hand pulled away. Rudo suddenly felt cold without his mate’s warm touch.

  “Come on, stud. Sea said he was onto something that he hoped would fix the shifting blocker those scientists placed on you.”

  Rudo was reluctant to hurry only to find out the doctor still hadn’t found a cure for him, so he didn’t make any effort to move just yet.

  Ryker swayed his hips as he approached him. “Come on, handsome. I have complete confidence in my brother’s abilities. So much so, that I have been carrying around a travel sized tube of lube in my pocket.” Ryker used two slim fingers to pull out a small tube and wiggled it in the air in front of him. “And,” he continued as he turned around and looked over his shoulder at Rudo, “I’ve been wearing a butt plug so the moment you shift back, you don’t have to wait to properly claim me.” Ryker jiggled his little bottom to emphasize his statement.

  Rudo bellowed out in agony as he body lit up with a renewed blast of desire. Ryker wiggled his eyebrows and snickered.

  “Race ya,” he said with a laugh, and took off.

  Rudo chased after his mischievous mate. He needed to run to help relieve the heat that was consuming him now. The chase didn’t have the desired effect he had hoped. He enjoyed a chase, but from his vantage point, he was able to watch his mate’s fine ass flex and move as they ran through the trees, which only kept the flame of desire for him burning.

  Rudo bellowed out again. If I can’t shaft his ass soon, both my dick and my balls will fall off. Rudo’s chest heaved as they reached the barn. Ryker opened the large barn door for him, and he trotted past. The barn was completely silent, giving Rudo an uneasy feeling, stopping him dead in his tracks. This isn’t right. Where’re all the others? Ryker tried to walk past him, but Rudo blocked his path.

  Rudo’s eyes were bad, but his hearing and scent made up for its lack. He lifted his nose and sniffed the air. He didn’t hear anything other than his mate, so that left his sense of smell. His chest expanded as he drew in another deep breath and he slowly let it out, sifting through the different smells. The doctor’s scent was fresher than it had been when he had left earlier. Ok, the doc was here, but where are the others?

  Behind him, Ryker leaned against his rump. “Huh, wonder where the others went.”

  Rudo was about to back them out of the barn when he heard footsteps coming from outside. He quickly spun his backside around, nearly causing Ryker to fall, and placed himself between his mate and the door. The doorway darkened as Ryker’s brother, Doctor Seamus, entered.

  Seamus stopped quickly and held up his hands. “Whoa, easy there, it’s just me. I saw you two returning. I’ve got something for you.” Seamus lowered his hands, then pointed to Rudo’s stall.

  “Cool, what do ya have for us, bro?” Ryker asked as he followed behind Rudo to the stall.

  Rudo entered the stall before Seamus answered. It was a fair sized stall, but it was made smaller since his mate had been camping out here with him. Ryker had a sleeping bag and some other things placed on one side. Rudo was always careful not to mess it up.

  Seamus entered the stall last. “We found a counteragent for the inhibitors that were blocking all of the survivors’ abilities to shift and scent correctly.”

  “Yes!” Ryker did a jig but stopped suddenly. “Wait, scent correctly? Are you talking about Maysa’s scenting issues?”

  “Yes, she wasn’t the only one who had the problem.”

  “But she was already regaining her scent.”

  Seamus shook his head. “The base compound for the scenting blocker was made with the same compound as the blocker that prevents the shifting. They just used a separate compound coupled with it so they could control specifically what they wanted to inhibit. It was probably done that way for experimental purposes.” Seamus let slip off his shoulder the strap from his medical bag that he had been carrying. “When we looked into why Maysa was getting her scent back, that is how we found the cure.” He placed the bag on a bale of hay that was covered in a blanket. “It turns out to be a natural herb that she had ingested from the picnic. It dissolves the blocker, safely. Because Maysa didn’t eat a whole lot, the herb took a lot more time to take effect, and even then, not fully.” Seamus pulled out a syringe and held it up. “We used the herb, and created a counteragent with it. Are you ready?”

  As interesting as that information was, Rudo had never thought a speech lasted longer in his life. He was ready for whatever the doc wanted to inject in him with since Ryker’s little happy dance. He would have joined in, but obviously that wouldn’t have been a good idea. Rudo thought the pain he endured waiting to claim his mate was at its worst until Seamus declared he had a cure only to stop and give an explanation. Rudo nodded his head and stomped his feet. He couldn’t contain the anxiety of waiting.

  Seamus checked him over, listening to his heart and lungs before giving him the injection. He quickly put his stuff away and backed away. “I’ll stay long enough to see that you shift, and then I’ll leave. All I ask is that you wait long enough for me to exit the barn before you work on completing your bond. That’s why the barn is empty. I cured them first, and everyone knows to stay clear from here for a little while.”

  After a few moments, Rudo felt his body flush, but it wasn’t from embarrassment. He felt an undeniable urge to shift, to which he gladly succumbed. His shift hurt at first, since
it had been such a long time, but then it felt nearly euphoric. After his shift was completed, he stretched.

  “I’ll see you later, Rye.” Seamus rushed out of the stall, and before Rudo could hear the barn door close, he reached out and snatched his gobsmacked mate and crushed their bodies together.

  Rudo didn’t stop to stare into his mate’s green eyes before he slammed his lips over Ryker’s. He threaded the fingers of his other hand through Ryker’s bright red locks and fisted them. I can explore his delectable body later, after my mark is finally scarred on his neck. With the flavor of his mate filling his mouth, his desire for him was too far out of his control, and all he could do at that point was give in to his animal, which wouldn’t stop chanting “mate, mate, mate” in his mind. Pain shot through his gums as his canines broke through them.

  Rudo’s painfully rigid cock was pinned between them, and he could feel it leaking pre-cum heavily. It rubbed against the abrasive fabric of Ryker’s shirt. Rudo backed Ryker up until the back of Ryker’s legs hit the bale of hay. Ryker would have fallen back but Rudo’s grip on him was too tight. He could feel Ryker’s hands claw at his shoulder and back. The sound of him mewling and whimpering into his mouth was erotic music to Rudo’s ears.

  Rudo suctioned Ryker’s lips into his mouth and nipped them, then licked away the sting, then swept his tongue around Ryker’s mouth. He sucked in again, this time pulling Ryker’s tongue into his mouth, holding it there, and licking around it. He sucked it in again, and then popped off, immediately slamming his lips down again to drink in more of his mate. Never enough, I will never have enough of him.

  Rudo finally had to tear his mouth away to let them both breathe. They were both breathing so hard that simply breathing through their noses wasn’t enough. His balls rolled in their sac at the sight of his much shorter mate. Ryker’s green eyes were glazed, and his mouth was red and swollen from his energetic administrations. Rudo didn’t stare long. His cock and balls hurt too much, and his mate still needed his mark. He grabbed each side of Ryker’s blue button-up shirt and ripped it apart. Buttons popped off like popcorn and flew in every direction, exposing Ryker’s smooth, white skin.

  Rudo’s shaking hands slid up and down the warm, creamy skin. “So sexy. You’re the most perfect mate anyone could ever want,” he said breathily. He hoped his eyes were conveying his awe and desire, because that was exactly how he felt.

  As he lightly pushed Ryker back, his mate’s butt landed on the bale of hay, and Rudo yanked at the fastening on Ryker’s pants and ripped it apart. Ryker pulled out the tube of lube before Rudo finished pulling the ruined jeans off.

  When did he take off his shoes?

  Looking down at his fully naked mate, Rudo’s stomach fluttered, and his heart beat faster than he ever remembered it. Rudo had to pinch the base of his dick to stave off his orgasm. It wasn’t enough, so he had to close his eyes and use his other hand to carefully pull his balls down away from his body. Once he opened his eyes back up, he nearly lost his control. Ryker’s creamy, perfectly shaped ass was up in the air in front of him, and Rudo could clearly see the butt plug tease wasn’t a lie.

  “Oh fuck, you’re killing me, my mate. This is going to be fast. I can’t hold back any longer.” Rudo’s voice was strained, and he was covered in sweat. Ryker reached back and held up the little tube of lube. After he took it, Ryker put his hands over his ass and pulled his cheeks apart, opening himself up to him. Rudo quickly smeared some lube over his dick and carefully pulled out Ryker’s butt plug.

  Ryker moaned and arched his back a bit. Rudo lined up his cockhead and slowly pushed in. He kept a keen eye on his mate for any pain or discomfort as he continued to push in without stopping. All he saw was pleasure. And joy perhaps?

  Finally bottoming out, Rudo pulled his mate upright so he was kneeling on the bale of hay with Ryker’s back flush against his front. Rudo grabbed both sides of Ryker’s hips and began to rock in and out. It didn’t take long for him to work up to a heavy pounding, all the while Ryker’s vocal encouragement spurring him on as he jacked his own dick.

  “Yes! Fuck! Oh yeah! Harder, stud, please, harder!”

  Seeing Ryker’s hand piston over his fully erect cock added to the tension that built throughout Rudo’s body, and once it became too great to hold back any longer, his fingers dug into Ryker’s hips, and he sank his canines into his mate’s neck. Rudo’s entire body went rigid as he felt his semen shoot through his cock, and erupt from him, marking the inside of his mate. He just barely heard Ryker over the roaring in his ears, shouting his own release, and the tight sphincter gripping his pulsing cock convulsed.

  Both were breathing heavily as Rudo licked his tongue over his bite, sealing the newly formed mark.

  After the waves of pleasure calmed and he was able to breathe normally again, Rudo carefully pulled his flagging dick from his mate’s warm body. White cum dripped from the stretched hole, and primal pride filled him at the sight.

  Before he could say anything, Ryker spun around, his eyes blazing red, and bared his fangs, right before sinking them into Rudo’s neck. Another wave of sexual pleasure pushed through his body, and Rudo’s balls pulled tight, sending him into another climax. Every pull from Ryker’s suction sent a wave of bliss shooting out of his cock. Rudo felt warm wetness on his thigh where his mate’s erection was pressed against him, and he knew Ryker had climaxed as well.

  Rudo felt when their souls synced, bonding them together for life. The relief that he finally had his mate marked set in, and he began to fade. Months of torture and a week of intense sexual tension all disappeared as a supreme peace settled over him. He wrapped his arms around Ryker and stumbled over to the sleeping bag. Somewhere along the way, Ryker licked his bite mark closed, and with a contented sigh, Rudo couldn’t fight the encroaching darkness any longer. He fell asleep with his mate clutched to his chest.

  ****

  Ryker felt happier than he ever thought he would be as he snuggled up close to his beloved, and worked on his tablet. It had been hard to be so close to his beloved, and yet unable to be claimed by him. He had tried to keep upbeat for his mate as they waited for Seamus to come up with a cure. He never doubted his twin’s abilities, but keeping cheerful for his mate had been a challenge while looking for more evil Phenocorps labs. The more Ryker found out about the company, the sicker it made him. Add the news he’d just learned that morning of a reporter in town starting to ask questions about the two missing downed planes, and it was safe to say he was right at his breaking point.

  Ryker looked up when he felt his beloved start to come out of his slumber. Cinnamon colored eyes pinned him in place, causing his heart to flutter and his dick to start to fill.

  “Hi there, handsome. Do I finally get to know your name? Or do I just call you stud?”

  The look in his beloved’s eyes showed heat and desire as he leaned forward, tenderly pressing their lips together, a huge contrast to how he had been kissed earlier. Ryker dropped his tablet and ran his hands over his beloved’s dark chocolate skin.

  Ryker spoke through their newly formed mind-link. “Stud it is.”

  His beloved pulled back, and Ryker had to suppress a whimper of disappointment.

  “Rudo, my name is Rudo Sarr. But stud works just fine.” Rudo gave him a lopsided grin before pressing their lips together again.

  Ryker wasn’t about to argue. His dick was already fully hard again, and he wanted to explore his beloved’s sexier-than-hell body now that he was awake. He let his hands smooth over Rudo’s skin.

  His hands weren’t the only wandering pair. Rudo’s were gliding up and down his back and over the round globes of his ass. He hummed happily when his beloved’s huge hands pulled his butt cheeks apart, and he felt a finger rim his hole.

  Rudo pulled Ryker up and over, startling him, then lined up his cockhead and began rubbing it between the two parted globes, all without dislodging from their kiss.

  Ryker’s anus twitched every time the soft mushroom h
ead rubbed over it, sending a pleasant zing to travel through his cock, making it jump and ooze pre-cum onto Rudo’s stomach. His large hands squeezed and massaged the cheeks of Ryker’s ass.

  “Do it, stud. Fill me with your cock. Stretch my hole wide. I want you inside me so bad.” Ryker continued to moan into his beloved’s mouth and whimpered when he said the last part.

  Rudo gave a growl below him and spoke perfectly into his mind. “Lube, where’s the lube?”

  Ryker pulled up, heaving, and looked around. The small travel tube was halfway between where they were and the bale of hay where they had first started. He leaned over and stretched as far as he could reach, just barely able to grab the tiny tube with the tips of his fingers. He sat up and held it over his mate, triumphantly. He wiggled a little with glee, which pulled a pained moan from his mate. Ryker’s face quickly fell, and he tried to lean up off the cock he thought he’d just hurt.

  “I’m so sorry, stud. I didn’t mean to hurt you, I was just a little bit excited—er, ok, a lot excited, but—”

  Ryker quieted when Rudo placed a finger over his mouth and shushed him. “You didn’t hurt me, little red, I’m just aching so much for you right now.”

  Ryker relaxed and smiled down at his beloved as Rudo reached around to spread on some lube.

  “Little red? I’ve got another friend who calls me that. I like it though.”

  Rudo growled again, and Ryker decided he liked the lethal look in his mate’s light brown eyes when he got jealous.

  “You can tell him only I can call you that. You’re mine.”

  Ryker was about to snicker when he felt his beloved’s slick finger quickly rim his hole, and then press in. He hissed, and groaned, and let his eyes roll shut. He rolled his hips as the finger pushed in and pulled out a few times.
