Keata's Promise [Brac Pack 7] (6 page)

And what an ethereal sight that was.

His eyes locked onto the tattoo on Keata’s chest. He had heard the mates snuck off to get them. He had even heard them question what Keata had possibly gotten, and now he knew. Cody stared at his name inked over his mate’s heart. So Keata
had
known they were mates.

There was a red heart above his name with blood red tears falling from it. His eyes closed briefly. Keata must have been in a lot of pain from not being near him to have that symbol.

Cody took a step forward, and Keata balled his hands into fists, bracing his shoulders and staring into Cody’s eyes. He could tell Keata was trying to be brave. Cody bridged the gap and cupped his little man’s face, making his mate look up. “So beautiful.” Keata gulped and laid his palms against Cody’s chest. “Scared,”

he whispered once more.

“I know.” Cody lifted Keata in his arms and carried him to the bed, laying him on his back. He ran his hands over the flat chest, tracing his name above Keata’s heart. “Mine,” Cody said more to himself then glanced up at his mate in wonderment. He ran his hands down Keata’s sides then wrapped his hand around the jutting cock.

His mate jumped.

Cody looked up into Keata’s shimmering black eyes then smiled.

“No hurt.” He then leaned down and swallowed Keata’s cock.

Keata keened loudly as he grabbed Cody’s hair, pulling as his head thrashed from side to side. His legs fell to the sides, lifted and wrapped around Cody’s shoulders. They fell again and then pulled up to his chest.

Cody smiled around Keata’s prick. His mate was lost in lust, not knowing what to do about it. He grabbed Keata’s ankles and placed his feet on the bed, sucking him deeper as Keata screamed out and shot down his throat.

Cody looked up to see a tear run down the side of Keata’s face.

He pulled off of him and sat back. “What’s wrong, Keata?” Cody tilted his head to the side. He had thought his mate enjoyed it.

“First one. So good,” Keata confessed.

“No way, seriously?” Cody was stunned. That couldn’t have been his first orgasm. Could it?

“Yes way.” Keata laughed as he wiped his face. “Sorry, cry like baby.” Keata covered his face with his arm Cody reached up and pulled Keata’s arm away. “Don’t. No embarrass.”

Keata got a wicked gleam in his eye. “More?” He giggled.

Cody threw his head back and laughed. “More, more, and many more.”

He lay back between Keata’s legs, running his tongue around Keata’s small sac, lapping at each orb. Cody pushed Keata’s thighs up and rimmed his puckered hole.

“Cody,” Keata cried.

Cody leaned up to see seed lying on Keata’s belly. Oh fuck, his mate was the hottest man on the planet. He climbed above him and swirled his finger through it, coating his digit then lowering it and pushing past Keata’s ring of muscles.

Keata stiffened, and Cody stopped moving, he waited until he felt the muscle relax then pushed a little further in.

“Want you, Keata.” He leaned down and licked the spent seed from Keata’s stomach.

“More.” Keata groaned, his hips hitched and impaled Cody’s finger deeper.

Cody pushed a second finger in, crooking them around. He grazed Keata’s sweet spot and watched the fireworks explode.

Keata damn near flew off of the bed. He yanked Cody’s hair as he floundered around.

Cody grabbed his hips and pressed him back down, holding Keata firmly.

“More,” Keata cried, his hips pushing against Cody’s hand again.

“Cody, please.”

“I got you, Keata.” Cody added a third as he ran his canines down Keata’s neck. The urge to sink his teeth in was overwhelming, but he knew Keata wasn’t ready for that. He needed to be buried inside his mate first.

Cody added a fourth finger, knowing Keata needed as much stretching as possible with his size.

“You okay?” Cody asked while sucking Keata’s nipple into his mouth. His mate’s skin was heady. Cody lapped at his chest, kissing the tattoo and promising himself to cleanse Keata of those blood red tears. He sucked in the other nipple, rolling it around in his mouth. It peaked to a small point. Cody bit gently at it and then kissed his way back to the other one.

“Yes,” Keata hissed out, pressing his chest into Cody’s mouth.

Cody reached for the lube in the nightstand and came up empty-Keata’s Promise

handed. Crap, Keata didn’t have any. Didn’t his mate jack off?

Duh,
that would be a no if the guy just had his first orgasm.

“Keata, no lube?” Cody’s cock was throbbing to get inside his mate. It pressed against his zipper in a painful arousal.

Keata tilted his head and furrowed his brow. “I not understand.”

“Never mind.”
Think, dammit
. Cody shot off of the bed and ran to the bathroom. He riffled through Keata’s medicine cabinet, knocking things into the sink until he found a jar of petroleum jelly. Fuck it when in a pinch.

Cody ripped his clothes off on his way from the bathroom, and then set the jar on the nightstand. He opened the lid, and then smeared the thick petroleum jelly around Keata’s ass and his own cock, pushing his fingers back into Keata for good measure. Cody grabbed Keata’s prick, stroking it a few times to get his mate to relax. This seemed to do the trick because Keata went from trembling to moaning.

Cody lined himself up with Keata’s tight hole. His own body started to shake, the anticipation of finally mating Keata shot through him like a lightning bolt.

“Ready?” Cody slid his left hand under Keata’s shoulder, staring at him deep in his midnight black eyes.

“Yes.” Keata’s body trembled again, and Cody knew there was no amount of stroking to settle his mate’s nervousness

“I won’t move until you tell me when I can.” He never looked away from Keata as he slowly pressed in. Cody fought for control.

His mate’s tight star threatened his sanity as he inched in a little at a time.

His right hand slid under Keata’s other shoulder, cradling his mate close to his chest. He was buried balls deep, and the need to move drove him insane, but he would never hurt his mate.

Cody rested his forehead on his man’s chest, breathing in and out to stave off his orgasm. There was no way in fuck he was going to last long the first time. Months of need and want had come to a head, and

he begged fate to let him last long enough to show Keata that sex was a beautiful thing between mates.

“More.” Keata wiggled his ass, and Cody nearly unloaded right then and there. When his mate’s small nails dug into his shoulders, Cody had to rapidly breathe in and out to stop his balls from emptying.

His hips rocked back and forth, moving his right hand down until it cupped Keata’s ass as he pulled his mate’s hips a little higher then slanted his head and took Keata’s lips in a searing kiss. His left hand massaged the back of Keata’s head, his fingers luxuriating in the silky strands.

Keata made the cutest little noises as Cody made love to him. He began to speak in his native tongue, his head falling back as his nails dug deeper into Cody’s flesh. He would wear Keata’s marks with pride.

“Cody.” Keata pushed his hips higher, grinding his cock into Cody’s stomach. The little hellcat wrapped his legs around Cody’s waist and began fucking him back. Cody was surprised, and then he recovered quickly enough to drive deeper, harder, as Keata’s mewling grew louder.

Watching his mate enjoy his touch was like watching the sunset from Heaven. He nuzzled into Keata’s neck, sucking up his skin as Cody pulled back and then thrust in.

He stilled for a moment, allowing Keata the pleasure of riding him upside down. Keata moved up and down wildly and uncoordinated.

The movements drove Cody closer to the edge.

Cody reached between them and grabbed Keata’s shaft and squeezed the head, pre-cum leaking onto his fist. He used it for lube.

He didn’t have to pump his fist. All he had to do was hold Keata’s cock, and his mate’s fucking motion did the rest.

“Do you accept me as your mate, Keata?” Cody panted.

“Yes, Cody, yes,” Keata shouted as he rode harder.

Cody sank his teeth into the soft flesh of Keata’s shoulder. Keata

wailed as his seed erupted into Cody’s hand. His mate hitched his hips faster into Cody’s fist, his hips jetting up and down. Cody growled around his mate’s neck.

Cody closed his eyes as he felt his life ribbons unwind then entwine with Keata’s. The feeling stealing his breath of joining with his mate. Their heart beats synchronizing, the mating complete. He pulled at Keata’s neck, drinking down his ambrosia in frenzy. He couldn’t seem to get deep enough into Keata to satisfy his hunger for his mate. The little guy was going to be his undoing, and he knew it.

Throwing his head back, Cody roared his release, pumping faster into Keata ass. He dropped his head and licked the wound closed, lapping the blood up that had escaped. Cody’s mind fogged with the overwhelming love the encompassed him at having his mate in his arms.

“Mine,” Cody crooned as he slowed his pace, rocking slowly and staring Keata in his eyes. His mate was the most beautiful creature on earth in his eyes. Cody felt his cock softening, so he pulled free. He wrapped his body around Keata’s, not caring of the semen cooling between them. Removing it could wait, he only wanted to feel his mate’s soft skin against his at the moment.

“Mine,” Keata mimicked and then kissed Cody.

Keata ran down the stairs and into the den the next morning.

“I claimed, I claimed,” he shouted over and over again as he threw his hands in the air and ran around the pool table then the couches. He threw a sparkly, beaded necklace at each mate as he ran around every piece of furniture in the room.

“No way.” Blair and Oliver jumped up to stop Keata. “Who?” Cecil and Johnny tossed their controllers down and ran over to Keata as Drew came from behind the bar to join them.

“Cody.” Keata beamed.

“But I thought—”

Blair shot Drew a warning look. Drew curled his lips in to hush anymore questions.

Oliver pulled Keata’s collar back. He knew the mate would see the healing wound of teeth marks. Keata beamed at the fact he was now a mate. “Yep, he’s been claimed.”

“Well, this is a cause for celebration.” Cecil clapped his hands together then rubbed them back and forth.

“What are we celebrating?” Kyoshi asked as he entered the den.

He spotted Keata and lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Keata.” Keata pushed through the other mates and ran to Kyoshi, throwing his arms around his cousin’s shoulders. “It okay.” Kyoshi hugged Keata tight. “So sorry.”

“We are celebrating Cody claiming Keata,” Cecil informed him.

Kyoshi leaned back and pulled Keata’s collar aside.

Keata pulled away from Kyoshi. He didn’t want another lecture from his cousin or more intimate questions he definitely wasn’t going to answer. Last night had been magical, and he didn’t want Kyoshi taking away from it.

Kyoshi pulled Keata back into his arms, whispering in his ear,

“Did it hurt?”

Keata giggled and whispered back, “No. I like very much.” Boy, did he ever. Keata wanted to run upstairs and do it all over again, but he was being hip with the men now and he couldn’t be happier.

“Me, too.” Kyoshi laughed.

“So, are we going to celebrate?” Cecil stepped closer to the pair.

“Yes, celebrate…what celebrate?” Keata turned to Kyoshi for an explanation.

“Go dancing,” Cecil offered.

“Oh, I like dancing. Okay.” Keata squealed when Johnny hugged him tightly from behind.

“We dance together, Keata.” Johnny bounced him around.

Keata giggled and swatted at Johnny’s hands. When the mate put

him down, Keata and Johnny began to dance to imaginary music together.

“Where?” Drew asked.

Keata settled down and listened to the mates.

“I was thinking that new nightclub that just opened up by the mall.” Cecil waited for their responses.

“Will we have to steal one of the cars?” Blair asked with a devilish gleam in his eyes. Keata wondered what was going on and why Blair had that look.

“Possibly.” Cecil clasped his hands behind his back and rocked back on his heels.

“Then I’m in.” Blair rubbed his hands together. “When?” Oliver asked.

“We meet by the front door at ten p.m. and make sure your mates are otherwise occupied with something else.” Cecil turned to Kyoshi,

“Explain all that to Keata. We don’t need him blabbing to Cody.” Cecil tapped knuckles with all the mates then headed down the hall toward his mate’s office.

“That is one sneaky dude.” Kyoshi shook his head as he laughed.

“You’ve no idea.” Blair snorted.

Keata was totally lost here. All he knew was they were going dancing, and he bubbled with excitement at the idea.

* * * *

Keata and Johnny crept into the den, looking around to make sure no one was around. Keata tried to hide the bulge under his shirt as the two made their way over to the video game controllers.

Keata lifted his shirt and pulled the bag out, handing it to Johnny as he looked over his shoulder.

“Hold the controller.” Johnny handed it to him as he took the jar from the bag. They made quick work and then shoved the jar and bag under the couch and sat down.

Cecil and Oliver came into the den and turned the television on, starting the Xbox game. They jumped around playing as Keata and Johnny watched.

“Damn, it’s hot in here.” Oliver wiped his hand over his forehead.

“Dude, you got something on your face.” Cecil pointed and then scratched his chin.

“You, too.” Oliver pointed at Cecil’s face. They both ran over to the mirror behind the bar and looked. They had black face paint all over their faces and hands.
