be. The past several months had been good in a way because it had forced Ben to get to know his mate before he was able to claim the man, even if Tommy had been hurt and withdrawn to begin with. His mate had come a long way since the first time Ben had seen him lying on the grass in the clearing of the pack lands in Cairns, covered in so much blood Ben had thought him dead.
    Ben shuddered at the unwelcome memory and pulled Tommy closer against him, needing to feel the heat of his mate's skin against his own.
    A soft little snore came from the smaller man and Ben grinned. The noise really was very cute, not that he would ever tell Tommy that. Ben rested his head on the pillow and settled down to wait for his knot to recede.
    Not too much later Ben's body finally released Tommy, and he gently slipped from inside his mate. Tommy whimpered in his sleep and Ben liked to think that awake or asleep Tommy wouldn't want them to part. Ben watched in utter fascination as some of his seed started to run out of his mate's well-used hole. Fuck that's hot as hell. Ben thought he had just found a new kink for him. He had never paid much attention in the past to his other lovers but to see the evidence of his desire for his mate leaking from Tommy's red, slightly puffy entrance was flicking every switch he had.
    Seeing that his poor mate clearly wasn't up for another round, Ben carefully got out of bed, not wanting to wake Tommy, and padded to the en suite bathroom. He quickly cleaned up, not willing to be away from Tommy for any longer than he absolutely had to be. Running a cloth under warm water, Ben then wrung it out and took it back into the bedroom so he could clean his mate.
    As much as he hated the idea of wiping away the evidence of his claim, he knew Tommy probably wouldn't appreciate waking up with dried cum all down his ass and legs. When Ben was finished, he threw the cloth in the rough direction of the laundry basket he had in his room and pulled the covers over the pair of them.
    Ben switched off the light and pulled Tommy securely into his arms, happy in the knowledge that he had finally been able to claim his mate. Sleep followed quickly.

CHAPTER 6
     
    Ben awoke to the exquisite feeling of wet heat surrounding his hard and aching member. He groaned low in his throat as suction was applied and fingers played with his balls. A head bobbed up and down on his length as Ben peered down his body. He ran his fingers through the soft black strands and gripped tightly.
    "You're gonna take what I give you." His voice low and rough.
    Tommy looked up at him from under his lashes, his mouth stretched wide around Ben's cock, a small trail of drool running down his chin. Ben had never seen a sexier sight in his life. Tommy nodded his agreement, never once letting Ben's cock slip from inside his mouth.
    Ben positioned himself so he could get a little leverage, never once releasing the grip he had on Tommy's hair, and started thrusting into his mate's mouth. Tommy's eyes fluttered then closed and a serene expression crossed his face. If Ben ever had any doubts about whether Tommy would enjoy Ben taking charge in bed, his fears had just been assuaged.
    He could feel the tingling in his spine as it moved through his body and settled in his balls. Ben gripped Tommy's hair harder and grunted as his thrusts became a little more forceful. "I want you to swallow everything I give you." Tommy moaned at his command and the tingling was the final straw. Ben grunted as his release rushed through him, his cock pulsing inside his mate's willing mouth. Tommy hastily drank him down, little moans and whimpers escaping the other man the entire time.
    When Ben's body felt like it had been drained of every single drop of seed, he collapsed back to the bed beneath him. Tommy eagerly followed him, licking Ben's spent cock, trying to gather every last drop of his cum.
    "Come up here, pup, and I'll take care of you," Ben rumbled as he gently removed his hand from
