“I’ll be your daddy sweetheart, however, and whenever you desire.” He told him, and Joe nearly swooned.

  “I’ve never done anything; I don’t know what. . .” His voice fell off for lack of what to say, but Yuri picked up and gave him what he needed.

  “We’ll explore it together, my love. We’ll discover all of your preferences and desires. I’ll take you where you want to go, Joseph. I’ll make you fly, baby.” Yuri softly kissed him between each sentence punctuating his intent and enflaming Joe’s desire beyond comprehension. His cock was so hard it was painful.

  Joe let out a salacious moan, but before they could take this further, they heard someone enter through the front door. Yuri stepped back and headed out of the room, and Joe followed him out, making sure to close the door. Andre was in the living room, waiting.

  “The area is clear. There was a concentration of scent, human, in the thick brush on the north end of the property. Someone languished there for quite some time to leave that much scent. The scent matches that present at the entrance and within the home.” Andre finished and cut his glance over to Joe after looking around the room.

  “It was probably some neighborhood kids looking for cash,” Joe suggested nervously.

  “Wait outside,” Yuri instructed, and Andre went out, shutting the door securely behind him. Yuri turned and drew Joe into his arms, and it felt like home, like a warm blanket on a cold night. Joe almost forgot about the mess that lay all around him.

  After a few minutes, he stepped back, but Yuri didn’t release him keeping him in a lose hold. “I better clean this up. It doesn’t look like anything was taken, not that I had anything of value apart from my computer, and that’s still there.” Thankfully they hadn’t damaged his computer because he couldn’t afford to buy another.

  “I’ll help you.” Yuri took off his jacket and hung it on a chair and began gathering up Joe’s books and papers that he’d had on the table but were now all over the floor. It was then that Joe noticed his design mockups laying on their sides bent and broken torn to pieces. He must have made a sound because Yuri was beside him in an instant.

  “What’s is it?” He asked while placing his hand on Joe’s shoulder. The man’s touch was magic, and just that fast Joe was calming down. It hurt to see his work destroyed, but he could do them over and maybe even do them better.

  Joe told him about his interest in landscaping and showed him the mockups that were now shredded. Yuri helped him salvage what he could from the pieces before discarding the rest.

  Joe explained about his online classes and that Master DuCane let him study his gardens and take design inspiration from them. He showed Yuri some of the books he’d collected on the subject after they’d finished picking up and were seated at Joe’s small dining room table having a cup of tea.

  “This is one of my favorites.” He showed Yuri a book on the landscape design of Sandleford Park in England. “Capability Brown did the entire park over two thousand acres, and it is magnificent. All his work is outstanding, the gardens at Hampton Court, Chatsworth, and the hedges at Blenheim Palace.” Tiny gardens didn’t thrill him, Joe loved the design that was on a grand scale with acres of unity.

  “I met him,” Yuri commented. “At Sandleford.”

  “Who?”

  “Capability Brown,” Yuri said it like it was no big deal, but Joe was stunned and just sat there staring at him, wondering how this was at all possible, but he knew that it was. Vampires lived very long lives. “The lady of the house, Elizabeth Montagu, was quite the socialite and patron of the arts. Fancied herself an artist and intellectual and often held court, so to say or rather her salon with like-minded individuals or war-weary soldiers like myself.”

  “I am so impressed.” Joe couldn’t control his excitement. “Was he as amazing as he seems?”

  “Yes, he was a fine man with integrity and a skill level that is still unmatched, in my opinion.” Yuri pushed the book aside and took Joe’s hand in both of his. Joe struggled to bring his attention back from the seventeen-hundreds and focus on what Yuri was going to say.

  “I would like for you to come back with me to the Palace. It isn’t safe for you to stay here after the break-in.” Yuri was concerned, and Joe appreciated that, but he didn’t want to go back to the Palace. He felt awkward there and didn’t want to overuse his welcome.

  “I have to work in the morning, and I’d rather stay here. They won’t be back whoever they were. They probably figured I called the cops, so they won’t come back. I’ll be fine.” Joe really wasn’t feeling as certain as he was letting on, but he’d prefer to stay home, and he’d lock his door and put a brace under the handle.

  “I’m not going to leave you here.” Yuri was adamant. He got up and went outside for a moment and then returned closing and locking the door behind him and placing a chair back under the handle. “I will stay with you, and as will my guards.” He stated and started to unbutton his shirt and remove his tie as he advanced on Joe.

  CHAPTER EIGHT

  Joseph stood there looking like a deer in the headlights but a very interested and excited deer in the headlights. Yuri cast him an appraising side-eye running from head to toe, letting him know that he liked what he saw. When Joseph’s tongue darted out and slowly ran the length of his upper lip, Yuri knew he was on board, and he had so many plans for Joseph this evening.

  He walked up and stood directly in front of Joseph and stared down at him. “Let us turn out the lights and get comfortable, shall we.” He took Joseph’s hand, and together they secured the house and then walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind them.

  “Let me help you.” Yuri took hold of Joseph’s sweater by the bottom and pulled it up and off in one move running his hands down Joseph’s smooth hairless chest on his way to Joseph’s pants. He then stuck his fingers in the waistband and pulled him closer as he popped the snap and eased the zipper down oh so slowly. He could feel the softness of the panties against the back of his hand, and the sensation had him rock hard in seconds.

  Joseph looked so eager and expectant as Yuri turned his hand to caress the heated package in the palm of his hand. “Beautiful.” He whispered, and Joseph moaned and dropped his head back and closed his eyes. “Yes.” He said so softly against Joseph’s shoulder as he kissed the smooth skin.

  He then took hold of both sides of Joseph’s pants and began to glide them down over his deliciously round, fleshy bottom. The thong fit so perfectly, separating the roundness of each cheek, baring the warmth to Yuri’s hungry touch. The pants eased down Joseph’s legs and pooled at his ankles, letting Yuri looked down to for a full view of the sexiness that was Joseph in a lacy thong. He drew in his breath and felt his heart hammering in his chest. Joseph’s cock, although not large, was straining the confines of this tiny pair of panties.

  Yuri dropped his head to Joseph’s shoulders and sucked up a pinch of flesh as he palmed both cheeks of Joseph’s amazing ass and squeezed. Joseph whimpered and rubbed his cheek against Yuri, and the act fueled Yuri’s desire for command and control.

  He was an exacting lover, and he wanted this man more than he’d wanted anything in his long life. His beloved was pushing every button and lighting every fire. His sexual bend matched Yuri’s need for dominance, and the two of them together would find their balance. He would claim Joseph this night and introduce him to the fantasies and desires he craved.

  Slipping his long fingers into the crevasse and finding Joseph’s tight puckered hole, had Joseph standing on his tiptoes, seeking more as he rubbed his face against Yuri’s fine cotton shirt. “Stay still, my love.” He told him and released him to move back just a half step to suddenly kneel. Joseph whined at the sudden loss of stimulation.

  “Quiet now and stay still.” He repeated more forcefully, and Joseph obeyed, taking a deep breath and training his eyes upon Yuri kneeled before him. Yuri placed Joseph’s hand at his sides and told him to keep them there he then removed Joseph’s pants from around his ankles and tossed them aside. Joseph was now naked apart from the skimpy lace thong.

  Yuri just knelt there silently for a few moments taking it all in. “You’re a dream, you are my dream.” He spoke softly but with a sizzling heat that was unmistakable. He leaned forward and placed several open mouth kisses to Joseph’s heated cock still pressed behind the little triangle of satin fabric. Joseph shivered at the touch, and Yuri felt the skin prickle beneath his palms as he slid his hands from Joseph’s thighs behind to once again grip the fullness of his ass.

  Joseph raised his hands to give Yuri access but then put them back at his sides when he received a hard stare. Yuri was impressed with Joseph’s obedience and his desire to follow Yuri’s commands. In time he would learn, and their needs would be in perfect harmony.

  He continued to suck and bite the sweet hardness through the thin fabric. Slowly he eased his fingers beneath the lacy sides and began to pull the tiny thong down and off, leaving his beloved completely naked.

  Joseph was still and silent, but the room was filled with his rapid pants and the steady pounding of his heart. He was excited and deliciously on edge. His cock was hard and prominent, and without pause, Yuri took it down his throat to the base and held for a beat and then began a punishing rhythm until Joseph was quivering, and his knees began to buckle.

  Yuri held him in place, and to his credit, Joseph kept his hands at this sides although he wanted to touch his hands trembled with the need to touch. Yuri worked Joseph’s hole with his fingers as he sucked and nipped at his cock, bringing Joseph to a near climax. Before he could come, Yuri suddenly grips the base of his hard, throbbing cock and preventing his release.

  Joseph gasped and, with a complete body shiver, began to whine softly and look at Yuri with desperation in his eyes. “Please don’t stop.” He said through gritted teeth.

  “I’m not stopping, but you aren’t allowed to come yet, my love.” Yuri stood and continued to hold Joseph’s cock in his grip as he unbuttoned his shirt and spread it wide, pulling it free of his pants but did not remove it. He then undid his belt and opened his pants, revealing that he was naked beneath. Yuri didn’t wear underwear; he’d never gotten used to the garment and saw no need. His long hard, weeping cock was on full display as he lowered his pants to hang around his hips.

  …

  Joe stood there in awe, wanting desperately to reach out and touch, but needing to obey Yuri’s commands, he kept his hands at his sides. Yuri was magnificent, Joe hadn’t seen many cocks, but he was sure Yuri’s was the finest and the largest. It was thick and long, and Joe wanted a taste so bad that he shook for want of it.

  Yuri placed his hands on his hips and stared a Joe for a few moments. Joe was completely naked, but Yuri still was partially dressed, and Joe found the contrast thrilling.

  “Get on your knees.” He said, and Joe dropped to his knees immediately. His head was level with Yuri’s hips, and his eyes were currently staring at that magnificent cock. “Keep your hands at your sides, and don’t open your mouth until I tell you to.” His instruction was firm and clear. Joe knew what was coming, and his body began to buzz with anticipation.

  Yuri held his cock and touched the moist tip to Joe’s lips wiping it back and forth over his sensitive flesh. He wanted to suck that thing more than he wanted to breathe, but he did as he was told and kept his lips pressed together and his hands at his sides.

  “Good boy,” Yuri said and pressed the spongy head against Joe’s mouth. The praise went right to his cock, and he was pushed back to the edge of release. Yuri must have sensed his strain because he forbade him to come until told to do so. Joe whimpered but kept his mouth closed and concentrated on not coming.

  “Open your mouth.” He said, and Joe opened wide as Yuri pressed his long thick cock inside an inch at a time. Joe could only handle about half before gagging. His lips were stretched around the width, and spittle seeped out as he tried to take more. Yuri pulled back, and Joe tried to follow, not wanting him to withdraw. Yuri tunneled the fingers of his left hand through Joe’s hair and held him in place as he repeated the thrust and retreat several times whetting Joe’s appetite.

  Joe felt his cock jerk and leak, and he wondered if he would be able to keep from spewing all over the floor, he was so jacked up with what Yuri was doing to him. Yuri picked up his pace and thrust into Joe’s mouth and held him still as he erupted, filling Joe’s mouth and throat with his warm seed.

  Joe sucked hard, swallowing everything as fast as he could, but some spilled out and ran down his chin, and it was to most erotic thing to ever happen to Joe. His eyes rolled back, and his deep moan vibrated across the cock in his mouth, causing it to jerk, and more seed shot down his throat.

  “Beautiful baby, just beautiful,” Yuri said, his voice soft as velvet. Joe glanced up at Yuri and smiled around the thick cock still in his mouth. Yuri smiled back and smoothed Joe’s hair back in a distinctly petting motion and slowly slid his still hard cock from Joe’s mouth.

  Yuri motioned for Joe to stand, so he did. He then wiped the excess seed that had run down Joe’s chin off with his thumb before pulling Joe in for a ravenous kiss so hard and wanting that Joe saw stars as his mind swirled with a pent-up mountain of energy.

  Yuri released him just as abruptly as he’d started and stepped back, leaving Joe wobbling and struggling to stay on his feet and not come. The sensations throbbing through his veins were intense and all-consuming.

  “Turn around and bend over, brace yourself with your hands on the bed and spread your legs apart.” Joe followed his direction without pause, eager to see and experience what was next. He jerked and nearly screamed with pleasure when Yuri spread his cheeks apart and began bathing Joe’s hole with his tongue and plunging inside as his fingers worked to stretch the tight muscle. His hot breath and wet tongue were driving Joe insane as his body continued to tremble with the pleasure of it all.

  Yuri stood, and Joe could hear the man removing his clothes. He wanted to turn around and watch, but he was not given permission, so he remained bent over the bed so open and exposed such an erotic experience. This was his fantasy in the flesh and more because his fantasies had never included someone as masterful and amazing as Yuri Petrov, Master Yuri Petrov, to be exact. To be dominated by such a man was an absolute rush.

  He felt Yuri continue to prep him and was struck with the need to tell him something. He wasn’t supposed to talk without permission, but he had to say it. “I’ve never gone this far with anyone. I’ve never done this before.” He said softly, not wanting to break the spell that seemed to be surrounding them.

  Yuri ran the palm of his hand up the middle of Joe’s back, easing his nerves as he did so. “I know, Joseph.” He said. “I will be gentle with you, sweetheart.” Joe’s heart that was pounding out of his chest with the excitement of the moment suddenly melted and pooled beneath him at the tender concern and understanding he heard in Yuri’s voice. “Shhh . . .” Yuri told him, and the sound lulled Joe back under the spell.

  …

  Yuri knew his beloved’s experience probably did not go beyond the magazines and toys in this room. He knew Joe was innocent from the first touch, but he also felt the burning desire raging just beneath the skin. Shifters don’t, as a rule, accept domination, especially independent beasts like a lynx, so he knew how lucky he was to have such a man as Joseph who fit so perfectly into his own needs and desires.

  He gripped Joseph’s hips and pressed his cock against Joseph’s well-stretched hole, he was so ready to become one with this beautiful ass. He pulled Joseph’s hips back as he pushed himself forward and thrust inside halfway. He didn’t want to overwhelm the little man so planned to ease his way inside, but the heat and the pressure were calling for him to bury himself completely. He paused, letting Joseph adjust to his size, but Joseph had other plans.

  Joseph began to squirm and tried pushing his hips back to take more of Yuri inside. Yuri stopped him with a quick light smack to his plump little ass. The moan he received told him the bite of pain was pleasing. Joseph tried it again, and he gave him another quick slap to the other side, reddening this delicious ass and giving him ideas for the future.

  Yuri leaned over closer and whispered. “Stay still, and I promise to paddle your plump little ass good next time.” Joseph gave a body shiver and nodded vigorously, which brought a smile to Yuri. His beloved was so open. He would never hurt his beloved, but he was not against the pleasures of less than gentle stimulation. He looked forward to sinking his hard cock into Joseph’s hot, red ass, but for now, he needed to focus on introducing his love to the pleasures he sought and claiming what was his.

  In one sudden thrust, he pushed completely inside, stretching his love to accommodate him and marveling at the lovely sight of his beloved bent over and taking all of him inside. He stopped and rubbed his palms over Joseph’s back and hips, calming and preparing him for the punishing thrusts to come. He pulled out to just the tip and then thrust back in and listened as Joseph rolled his head and moaned. He was beginning to desire that satisfied moan above all other sounds.

  He did this several times and then gripped Joseph hard and began slamming his cock inside reveling in the way Joseph braced and tried to increase the force and thereby his indulgence. Yuri increased both his speed and his power to comply with his beloved’s needs.

  The room was filled with sounds, and words of sex and satisfaction as Yuri forced himself deep within Joseph’s velvet channel and with a guttural roar came filling his beloved full, and then he struck. Yuri pulled Joseph up by the shoulders, yanking him back against him and told him to come as he sunk his fangs into the gorgeous soft flesh of his neck. He drank and continued to trust slow but deep, milking the depths of his reserve.

  …

  Joe was traveling to another world; the sensations racing through his mind and body were so intense and so sharp that he couldn’t think he could only hold on and enjoy. The moment Yuri sank his fangs into Joe’s throat, he gave Joe permission to come with just one word spoken on a hot breath, ‘come,’ and he did, shooting stream after steam across the bedspread in front of him. He’d never come so hard or felt so much.
