Free The Link That Binds by Dawn H. Hawkes

the same time as he increased the pace of his fingers in Jace’s ass, pushing Jace into another orgasm straight after the first.
    The intensity of feeling Link’s throat rhythmically clench around his already erupting member almost made him buck Link straight off him. His lover’s bruising grip on his hip seemed to be the only thing keeping him grounded.
    Temporarily exhausted, Jace felt his entire body go limp and he fell back onto the bed, panting heavily and purring loudly. His cold shower never happened as far as Jace was concerned; his entire body felt like a sated flame, even despite the cooling effect of the lube Link had used. But the pain of the long wait in Jace’s mating heat had faded, leaving him somewhat drowsy in his contented state.
    “Damn it!” Link swore as he began clawing at his own pants and pulling them off.
    Jace instantly forgot about his plans for a little catnap and took notice of his undressing mate, making his mating heat flare up again. His eyes were all but glued to the newly exposed areas of skin.
    His purring increased when Link pulled his boxers down and a hard dick slapped up against Link’s stomach, leaving behind a wet spot of pre-cum on his abs, one that Jace was simply dying to lick.
    “Shit!” Link cursed again. “I can’t get the damn thing to down if you don’t shut off that damn purring of yours.”
    With a feral grin, Jace let his purrs increase in volume. Apparently, his mate had a little bit of kink in him and Jace definitely wasn’t opposed to kink, nor would he stop purring if it made his human mate go into heat as well.
    Link grabbed hold of his cock and hissed, clenching his jaws together. When Jace recognized Link’s hiss as one of pain, he instantly stopped purring. He’d nearly forgotten about the aches he’d caused his mate earlier.
    Before Link could go any further, Jace grabbed hold of him and pulled him down on the bed, angling him so he fell on his back.
    Getting the lube, Jace crawled up his mate’s body, quite aware of how Link’s eyes followed him to see what he would do.
    Strange how much of a turn on it could be, having his mate look at him that way. Straddling Link’s thighs, Jace poured a liberal amount of the cooling ointment into his hand and carefully started rubbing it into Link’s throbbing cock.
    Link groaned as the cooling liquid effectively began easing the pain as Jace gently smeared it onto the man’s dick, enjoying it just a tad too much considering Link was hurting. It made Jace feel somewhat proud that it was the concoction of his own making that served to ease his mate’s discomfort when Link let out a soft, relieved sigh. It at least made up a bit for his guilt trip, being the one who’d caused Link those pains in the first place. Plus, it did give him an excellent reason to stroke his mate’s wonderfully thick cock, which he hoped would be stretching him out not too long in the future.
    Damn, maybe he should have made the recipe even stronger, that way they could’ve fucked sooner, but he hadn’t wanted anybody to get frostbite either.
    Seeing Link clutching the sheets under him as he unsuccessfully tried to suppress his moans had Jace completely hard again. And stroking the man’s straining dick definitely made him want to suck it down.
    Unfortunately the cream would have to be washed off if he was to do that. Cooling his ass down would have been one thing, a pleasurable thing even, cooling his throat however—not so much. Sure he could always rim his ass, but Jace wasn’t sure if Link was quite up for that at the moment. He still hadn’t figured out if the man ever bottomed, but from what Jace had experienced, Link acted completely dominant.
    Link groaned when Jace increased his stroking as the shifter got a bit hot under the collar. He tried not to let the sexual frustrations take him over and tried to keep his strokes gentle, but by the way Link started pushing his cock through his hand with hard, determined
