Chapter 26

Sloan's POV

Sean and Addi left a few hours ago. But Carter and I haven't been able to have a moment alone to dive deep into what had just transpired. Turner had come back downstairs after they had left and Carter promised him a movie and pizza, so that's what he gave him. That occupied us for the rest of the night.

Now, Carter and I were getting ready for bed and there was finally a moment for us to talk. For me to ask how he felt about this newfound information about his family, and about then tell him about Sean and I's conversation.

I was lying on the bed already. My boxers hung low on my hips, and no shirt. Which was already strange for me. With Z, I was never shirtless around him or ever walked around in my boxers. He had only ever seen my dick, that was it. I always thought that the rest of my body was too special to be shown to just anyone.

But here I was now. Putting myself on full display for not just anyone. For my mate. For MY Carter. This body was his. I was pushing it right now. This was the first time that I had been this...open to him. We both usually wear sweats to bed, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I usually sleep naked, but I knew we weren't there yet. No matter how badly I wanted us to be.

The door swung open and the steam left the bathroom before I saw him. And I supposed Carter had the same idea. He was wearing sweatpants that hung low on his hips as well. Showing off his v-line that made me squirm in my seat. Carter looked over at me, his eyes wide in surprise as he drank me in.

I was laid out lazily on the bed. My legs spread open, and one arm rested behind my head. And my other hand holding my phone, texting Delany and trying to plan a time for us to call. As well as Ezra blowing me up saying that we need to tell him where we are so he can come see us.

Carter immediately turned away, but I could see him straining himself not to look. I wanted to yell boo at him and tell him to look but I don't know if right now is the time for teasing. Once his durag was on he walked out and sat at the end of the bed, crisscrossing applesauce looking at me.

He didn't put a shirt on.

Magnificent.

I immediately put my phone down and I gave him my full attention. But I didn't make a move to stop my sprawling. I find it amusing that he is doing everything in his power to not look at me.

'What did you and Sean talk about?' He asked, raising his brow slightly.

"He wanted to see if anything changed in our friendship." I felt a familiar sadness come back into my chest. I hadn't realized it was there, but it was. And seeing Sean elevated that feeling and I was left hurting. Knowing that my best friend caused so much to my mate. But also that he was in so much pain and I had no idea.

'Have they?' Carter asked, sympathy on his face.

"I think. But I think a lot of things have changed. It's just now a matter of figuring out how they did." I shrugged and Carter nodded in agreement. Things were different now, and we had to accept it. Though I wished they would stop happening so fast. I needed a break, and I'm sure Carter did too.

'You don't have to stop being friends with him for me, you know.' Carter scooted himself further on the bed to where he was sitting right beside my knee. His thighs brushed against me.

"I know, lightning. But right now, my focus is on you." I sighed as I watched Carter avert his gaze and how he tried to fight the smile that was slowly crawling onto his face. I knew he loved when I said sweet things to him. "How are you feeling about Addi's confession...about your dads."

'I hate to say it, but it makes me feel a bit better. That I wasn't fully alone. That I wasn't completely singled out. But now I feel like I was gipped by not being able to have the sibling relationship I dreamed of.'

I reached my free hand over and rested it on his calf, rubbing my thumb across, soothing him.

"I mean now that you know, things can change for you moving forward can they not?"

'Yeah, I just don't know what that would look like. And none of that can happen until I talk with Crispin and Dieter.'

"I don't want you to worry about them. You've been given a lot of information these past few days and it's been emotionally heavy for you. I don't like seeing you so defeated." I whispered to him, and Carter's eyes began to glaze with tears. What I said was true, he was emotionally heavy, most wouldn't be able to tell but I can. He was strong, but he didn't need to be. Not with me.

'I need a vacation, from my vacation.' I chuckled lightly and squeezed his calf. I could tell he still wasn't in a place to fully process everything and I wasn't going to push him.

"You ready for bed?" I asked, and he nodded eagerly. We both stood to unmake the bed and turn off the lights. Once we slid under the covers Carter immediately wrapped his arms around me like he usually did

The room was pitch black, but I lay wide staring at the ceiling. It was hard to find sleep tonight, probably because I was naked, and Carter was shirtless. And this was the first time we lay skin to skin. Goddess, he was so soft. Had he always been this soft?

Thirty minutes passed, and I thought perhaps he was asleep. His breathing was steady and he hadn't moved. But then I felt his hand that rested on my stomach start to trace the lines on my abs. Sparks shoot through and just a simple touch makes my toes curl. One of my hands was resting on his lower back and I started to mimic him. Tracing circles on his back.

Carter's head was already buried in my neck. His breath tickled me, but I was used to it by now. That's just how we cuddled. But what was new was when I felt a faint kiss and I sucked in a quick breath. He laid a few more up and down my neck and he still traced my stomach. The softness of this moment was slowly heating my body. My dick grew with each press of his lips.

"Carter," I whispered, my words raspy, and lust-coated. Carter let out a soft whimper at the sound of my voice and stopped drawing his circles. He moved his hand to my face and slowly turned my head to find his.

I brushed my lips against his, teasing him. Waiting for the perfect moment. Carter was getting restless and I felt him move his hips closer to my thigh and his cock was pressed firmly against me. Hard and ready.

"Carter," I said again, my breath hitting his lips. I was hoping he would be able to hear what I was trying to say. That I don't think I'd be able to stop myself if we started. That the need to taste him was too strong, and I wanted to put my hands all over him.

"Sloan," He whispered back, but it was more of a whimper and I attacked. I took his lips in a swift motion and I began to devour him for everything that he was. His tongue met mine within an instant and he gave himself to me easily. His sweet taste hit my tongue and I wanted more. More. More.

I kept one hand firmly on his back, and my free hand moved to his ass. I squeezed him tightly here, remembering how he reacted when I smacked it before. Carter whimpered at the action and made sure to keep my grip firm. From this, I could tell he wasn't wearing any boxers and I wanted to shove my hand in his pants. Feel his soft skin on my hands.

I nipped and pulled at his lips, letting myself drown in him. Nothing was pretty about this kiss. It was sloppy and needy. Our tongues run over each other, our saliva coating our lips and chins. But I didn't care. The need for Carter was much greater than the need to be clean. Carter's hand that was on my face slid to the back of my head, pushing me into him. He was just as needy as I was.

Carter was panting against me, but he didn't make a move to pull away, and neither did I. I didn't need to breathe I just needed him. His soft moans filled my ears and I couldn't take it anymore as I let go of his ass and slid my hands under his sweatpants. I roughly grabbed his ass again, but I made sure my fingers grazed his pucker. Carter let out a gasp as I brushed past it, in a seemingly innocent way.

Another day, I told myself. One day I'd take him here, but not yet.

I slowly let go and I pushed him back to lie down and I leaned over him, still not breaking the kiss. I traced my hand slowly across his hip and headed to the one thing that was aching to be touched. I made sure to keep my pace slow in case Carter protested but instead, he just lifted his hips as if trying to hurry me up.

I smirked at that. I broke about our kiss, and I looked down at my mate's face. Lips swollen and red, chin glistening with our mixed saliva.

"You want me to touch you here?" I traced a feather touch up his shaft and I felt him twitch against me. The fabric was wet and making my hand wet from his precum. Carter panted and bit his lip.

"Sloan," He moaned out and nodded. Fuck, the way he said my name had me in shambled. Had me wanting to turn him over and slam into him. Claim him.

"Is that a yes, baby?" Carter moaned again, and from what I could tell he loved it when I called him baby, and when my voice was deep and animalistic. He also liked being talked to.

"I--I need you, Sloan." A growl erupted in my throat as he spoke. More than just my name. If he needed me, I was going to give him everything.

I smashed my lips back on his with an almost scary ferocity. I wasn't gentle in the slightest, but Carter loved it. He loved it rough, and I am here to oblige. I gripped his cock, pulling it from the waistband of his pants. His skin was soft here too. But that wasn't enough for me. I wanted to see it. I wanted him to watch me please him.

I let go for only a second to throw the blanket off of us, my erection extremely visible now. But I didn't care. I grabbed him again and began to pump him. I wasn't slow, I wasn't teasing. I was fucking taking. I moved up and down his cock fast, and hard. So much so that Carter pulled away from the kiss, unable to continue because of his loud and needy preening.

His nails dug deep into my skin in my back and my head, but it added to the pleasure I was feeling just from watching him. I watched him writhe under my grip, trying to get away from my assault but I just held him tighter.

"You like it rough like this don't you baby?" I asked him, my voice shaking from how fast I was moving.

Carter's legs were flailing all over the bed, so I used mine to hook one of his to keep his legs open for me. Just the noises Carter was making were enough to make my body tingle with the need to cum. He didn't know how much pleasing him, and seeing him like this made me crazy.

"You're gonna make me cum and you haven't touched me." I gritted out as I wrapped my hand around his head, scooping some of pre-cum, and started stroking him fast again. Carter whimpered loudly at my words, only adding to my need to release.

"When you cum, I'm going to lick it up with my tongue so I can taste you. I know you're going to taste so fucking good." Carter's eyes opened and went directly to where I was holding him and a moan erupted from him. I saw his body go stiff, and I felt his cock throb in my hand. His nails dug deep into my skin and I angled him to where we would shoot all over his stomach.

With one last shout of my name, cum flew out of him and hit his lower stomach. Just the sight of that was enough to send me over the edge myself. I let out a deep growl as a white-hot feeling rushed over me and I felt myself cum in my boxer. The front is now soaked. But I didn't stop stroking, not until he was empty. And once he was I pulled myself off of him, so I could lean over him and clean him just like I promised.

His taste was perfect, musky and a bit salty, but it was him. I lapped it up eagerly, the fucking animal I was. Carter watched, lust dancing in his eyes, and once he was clean I looked up at him. He grabbed my face and pulled me in for another kiss, but this time he was tasting himself on my tongue.

I was leaning over him, my arms holding my weight by the side of his head. And even though I just come, I felt myself getting hard again, and if he didn't stop within the next three seconds I was going to rub myself against him. But it seems Carter had other plans.

He lightly pushed me and I was laid on my back, our lips still connected. But his hand gripped my soak boxer and gripped my dick through them. A groan went passed my lips at the feeling of Carter's hands on me. He fumbled for a moment trying to pull me from my boxers and he made a frustrated sound. I chuckled lightly but I didn't step in the way.

Once it was out, Carter grabbed and held me with the same strength that I had on him. I hissed as he pumped me, but he was slow and teasing.

"Don't tease," I said as I nipped at his bottom lip. A small sitting on his face as he went slow. Dragging out every movement, making sure every inch of me was being touched. I shudder went through me as he swiped his thumb over my head.

"Baby, you keep going like this, who says I won't shove myself inside you." Carter moaned at my words and pressed his hips against my thigh. He was hard again.

A deep laugh came from him as he leaned forward, breath hitting my ear as he said; "Maybe I want you to." His voice was light and if he wasn't so close to my ear I would have missed it. But it awakened something deep in me.

I was on top of him in seconds, I grabbed both of our now hard cocks in my hand and I started pumping furiously. Carter's eyes rolled back as I began moving around the both of us at an insane speed. I was breathless and so was Carter as I brought us both to the edge within seconds.

We were both panting, slowly coming down. I leaned forward, centimeters away from Carter's face and I slowly wrapped my hand around his neck, squeezing slightly. And even in this Carter moaned again.

"Look at me," I said in a demanding tone. Carter opened his eyes, barely able to. "The next time you say something like that again. I will fuck you. Hard, and fast. Then I will claim you." Carter was biting his lip at my confession. I moved his head roughly to the side, still holding him firm around his neck. I pressed my lips on his ear as I whispered, "And I will not warn you. And I will not ask for permission."

Carter came again.
