Free The Link That Binds by Dawn H. Hawkes Page B

chuckle, Link pulled the sheets on top of them and ordered, “Just shut up and sleep already.”
    No sooner had he said it, than Jace felt his eyes slide shut and his entire body relax for the first time in what felt like forever. “You better be here when I wake up or I’m so gonna kick your ass.”
    “I’ll be here, kitten,” Link promised.
    “Don’t call me kitten…” Jace grumbled before letting his sated body rest.
    “Whatever… kitten.”

Chapter 10
     
    When Link went along with Solomon, he figured he’d be in for an easy gig. He’d just suck off Jace and that would be that. He hadn’t expected his own reactions to the guy.
    Wasn’t the first time Link had seen Jace in the throes of passion, but not like that, begging and pleading and needing… and then the purring!
    Fuck, Link wasn’t into the whole bestiality thing, but when Jace started purring, he’d gone rock hard in a second flat. It had been hard enough simply trying to stay calm with Jace laid out before him like a buffet.
    Having Jace jacking him off afterward had been fucking hot too. Thank fucking god for the cooling cream.
    He’d pushed his limits by sleeping together afterward, but despite the drying cum, it had felt… kind of nice, which was a new experience entirely since he’d never really been able to sleep with somebody else in the same bed. Not even with Debra had he ever been able to zone out like that.
    Waking up hadn’t been half fucking bad either. Jace had wrapped those lush lips around his cock and sucked him down deep while stretching himself. Then he’d straddled Link and lowered himself down on his dick, and you definitely couldn’t complain about the guy’s enthusiasm. Link had been ridden hard and sported quite a few new scratches as evidence.
    They’d had sex twice more after, before Link needed to go to work. Time had vanished disturbingly fast and, while Link definitely wouldn’t have minded sticking around for round three, Thursday night had turned into Friday night and it wouldn’t be fair to ask Trey to work the bar alone when the crowds came.
    Solomon stood true to his word and didn’t try to stop him from leaving, even if he did send him with an escort, but it had still been quite a job peeling Jace off him.
    He chuckled to himself as he recalled how Maddox and Kett literally had to hold him down as Link headed off to the bar.
    Jace had gotten increasingly aggressive after they’d taken off the edge of his mating heat, but seemed to have no problems submitting to Link as long as he got his itch scratched.
    Frankly, Link didn’t mind that part either, not one bit. Having Jace snarl and almost lunge for Kett when he’d apparently been checking out Link’s ass had been oddly endearing in a twisted kind of way. The fact that Jace’s clinginess didn’t faze him barely even registered.
    “You’re in an awfully good mood,” Trey remarked as he moved past him to grab a bottle of brandy off of one of the shelves. “Feel like filling me in?”
    “Get stuffed, Trey.”
    “Looks like you’ve been doing enough stuffing for the both of us lately.” Trey snickered as he wiggled his eyebrows.
    Link rolled his eyes as he filled a pitcher with beer and handed it off to one of the costumers.
    “I mean, seriously, there’s Jace, who even I have to admit is pretty fucking hot.”
    Link tried to ignore the annoyed anger he felt when his friend complimented Jace. True or not, Jace was his or whatever… he would have to keep those two apart. Right now, he didn’t have much trust in Trey.
    Not noticing Link’s internal conversation with himself, Trey continued. “But when push comes to shove, he ends up getting real close and personal, in a not what I would call comfortable way and nearly destroys your family jewels. Then there’s tall, terrifying and somewhat gorgeous from last night, whom you left with by the way, and now…” Trey nodded towards the pale, attractive man who’d followed him into the
