Chapter 1
June
Sonny cursed as he hugged the toilet and threw up for the second time that morning. His head pounded and all he wanted to do was curl up in his husband’s lap and sleep. Stupid stomach needs to calm the hell down.
A bout of dizziness hit him, making him moan. I’m sorry, stupid stomach. You’re the boss, I swear.
A soft, warm weight settled against his back, and the dizziness started to fade. His familiar, Flufflepuff, rubbed her head against his side, her purring sending small, soothing vibrations through him.
Sonny almost moaned when a cool cloth was pressed to his head.
He glanced to his left. “Did I wake you?”
Leo rolled his eyes. “Seriously? You’re clearly feeling like shit and you’re afraid you woke me up?”
“Don’t yell at me,” Sonny said, lip trembling. He knew Leo wasn’t mad at him, but damn if he could control his emotions right then.
Leo’s eyes softened, and he rubbed Sonny’s back. “I’m sorry, sunshine. Is your stomach feeling better? Let me help you.”
Sonny let Leo pull him up and hold him steady as he brushed his teach and washed his face. “Carry me to the bed?”
“My pleasure.” Leo scooped him up and carried him back into their room. Ravenpaw, Sonny’s large, fluffy black cat watched them from the four-poster bed.
Leo settled Sonny in his spot, and Sonny curled around his pillow, sleep pulling at him. Flufflepuff hopped up and curled against his back again, steadily purring and offering her strength.
He vaguely heard Leo moving around the room, but Sonny felt it when Leo lit the first of the pre-spelled blue candles. A jolt of healing calm settled in his stomach, and he started to drift off to sleep.
Sonny rubbed his face against his pillow. “Don’t light the green ones anymore.” No need for fertility candles, he thought wryly.
He fell asleep to Leo’s rumbling laughter.
By the time he woke up again, morning sunshine poured through the wide windows. Sonny and Leo’s bedroom was cluttered with books, candles, and other knick-knacks. Colorful strands of glass hung from the ceiling and caught the sunbeams, sending shards of colored light to dance across the walls.
Home, he thought, sighing at the peace that filled him.
The closet doors stood open, and Sonny winced at the sight of all his clothes and shoes. I may have a problem. The light glinted off the shiny gold-heeled sandals he’d bought the day before. What am I saying? Shoes are life. There’s no problem here.
A warm breeze rustled his hair, and he noticed the balcony doors stood open. Sonny turned onto his back and pulled Fluff into his arms to pet as he watched the light dance across Leo’s broad, tan shoulders.
His mate stood on the balcony with his morning coffee. Ravenpaw wound between Leo’s bare feet, tail high in the air. Sonny loved that Leo didn’t even seem to notice his nakedness most of the time. His mate used to be so self-conscious of his soft stomach, but now, he barely remembered to wear shorts on the balcony.
Leo’s damn shoulders were too appealing. Sonny checked the time, then snapped his fingers, lighting the three red candles spread around the room.
He set Flufflepuff on Leo’s pillow and slid out of bed, happy that his stomach was settled. For some reason, it always chose three in the morning to be a dickhead.
Sonny snuck behind Leo and wrapped his arms around his mate’s waist, hugging him tightly and breathing in his warm, masculine scent. “Good morning.”
Leo set his coffee on the rail and turned around, pulling Sonny close and kissing him. Sonny enjoyed the press of his mate’s large body against his own.
“You lit the red candles, didn’t you?” Leo asked, amusement filling his voice. “Do we have time?”
Sonny leaned back, glaring. “There’s always time for morning sex.”
Leo’s laughter shook them both. “What was I thinking?”
“It’s okay,” Sonny said, patting Leo’s cheek. “No one can be completely perfect.”
Leo leaned down and nibbled on Sonny’s neck. “You’re the tastiest treat, sunshine. What would I do without you?”
Sonny gently bit Leo’s chin. “Die alone, because I will haunt your ass if you try to mate someone else if I die. Now, we have a little over an hour before we both need to leave. Get your ass in gear. I want morning fun times and strawberry pancakes.”
Leo hummed low in his throat and pulled them into the room as Sonny pressed kisses to his shoulders. “I live to serve my mate.”
“Good answer.” Sonny trailed his mouth down Leo’s chest. “Why do you always taste so good? You do it on purpose, don’t you?”
Leo’s laugh ended on a gasp when Sonny teased his nipples. He groaned and shivered when Sonny’s teeth tugged gently on one nub.
“Sonny,” he said, voice rough.
Sonny ignored him and slid to his knees. He pulled Leo’s sleep shorts down to free his dick. “Yummiest honey bear in the whole world. Love you.”
Leo ran his hand through Sonny’s hair. “I love you too, sunshine.”
Sonny wrapped his hands around Leo’s dick and tugged, pumping him hard. When his mate’s groans hit a certain familiar pitch, Sonny leaned forward and sucked the tip into his mouth as he continued to stroke Leo. Yep, tastiest man in the world.
“Need you,” Leo said, head falling back when Sonny swallowed him deep.
Sonny snorted a laugh when Leo pulled him to his feet. “Impatient much?”
Leo hummed in agreement and kissed him, licking the precum off his lips. His hands slid down Sonny’s back and cupped his ass, pulling their hips together before picking him up and setting him on the dresser.
Leo slid Sonny’s silky pajama bottoms off and leaned down to suck the tip of Sonny’s dick. “I’m not the only one with an addictive taste, sunshine.”
Sonny wiggled his hips. “Inside me, please.”
Leo smiled softly, then grabbed the lube. He pressed a finger against Sonny’s pucker, slipping the tip in and making Sonny shiver with need.
Sonny panted and spread his legs wider as Leo pushed his finger deeper and trailed kisses along Sonny’s neck, lingering over the mating mark on Sonny’s neck.
Leo slid more fingers in, stretching Sonny, before angling his hips and slowly sinking into him.
They moved together slowly at first, but they fit too well and it felt too good to last long.
Leo moved faster and faster until Sonny’s climax splattered them both with cum. Sonny’s ass clenched around Leo’s dick. Leo’s growl made Sonny’s dick harden again.
Leo let himself go, pounding in and out of Sonny’s ass, shaking the dresser under them.
Sonny came again, and Leo followed, filling Sonny’s ass.
They panted against each other for a few moments. “Pancakes, right?” Sonny asked, rubbing his face against Leo’s shoulder.
Leo chuckled. “I love how you stick to a plan.”
Sonny grinned and kissed Leo’s own mating mark. “You shower and I’ll cook.”
“Yes, darling,” Leo said with a smirk and slowly eased from his body. “Do you need anything first?”
“Nope.” Sonny smacked Leo’s bare ass as he walked past, making his mate yelp in surprise. “I got what I needed.”
