Faunus shook his head, but said, “I would wish to understand what is in you that does not trust me to go through the ritual understanding I am yours alone and am doing something I will enjoy physically but will mean little outside what it is supposed to build between me and my brothers. And after it is done, it will be done. But if there is something within you that cannot abide this without it coming between us, it is something I will come to terms with.”

“I would not…ever…keep from you something you desire to have,” Teddy whispered fiercely.

Faunus did not respond.

That wasn’t true.

He did.

Or two parts of him did.

His eyes, which were burning into Teddy.

And his cock, which was stiffening.

“Do you love me?” Faunus finally whispered in return.

“Yes.”

“When did you fall in love with me?”

“It began when you kissed me after you fucked Saturn that first time at Lorenz and Nyx’s.”

Faunus’s face grew soft and his hand went to his cock to stroke.

“I am sorry, mio amore, but it took me longer,” he replied gently. “I liked you very much and wanted more from you. But I knew it would go much deeper when you annoyed me greatly by demanding to put your life at risk to become a spy.”

“Don’t be sorry, I wasn’t worthy of your love until then.”

“You are wrong, but we will not discuss it in the now for you need to come to me and kiss me, then you need to suckle me, Teddy,” Faunus growled.

Teddy did not delay.

He crawled into bed and did just that.

And their avowals of love were not sealed by making love, as Faunus had been doing to him since he saved Teddy and his women.

No.

It was rough and wild and domineering.

And when Faunus pulled Teddy up to his knees after Teddy had been taking his cock on all fours, and he seized his shaft and was stroking it savagely, Teddy would know why.

“Is this mine?” he demanded on a tug.

“Yes,” Teddy breathed, riding the big cock up his arse.

“Is this yours?” Faunus asked, ramming up inside him.

“Yes,” Teddy groaned.

“Yes,” Faunus whispered, fucking him and milking him and fucking him and milking him until his lover, his love forced him to gush his seed up his chest right before he took Faunus’s up his arse.

They were both breathing heavily, Teddy’s head back on Faunus’s shoulder, Faunus claiming him by filling him as well as at his cock and with an arm about his upper chest, his breaths whispering in Teddy’s ear.

“You are mine,” he said softly.

“And you are mine,” Teddy returned.

“Yes, I am. But you are mine.”

Teddy started to turn his head but stopped to grunt when Faunus pulsed up his arse.

“You are mine,” he growled.
