Taming the Wild Beast of Alamina-Chapter 111: Escalation [Win-Win]

"Arion," Dean managed again, and this time it wasn’t a warning. It was a plea he refused to label.

Arion’s mouth paused against his skin. He didn’t answer immediately. His breath warmed the spot under Dean’s ear, and his thumb stilled for one heartbeat of complete control, as if he were giving Dean space to pull away.

It took Dean’s panicked mind a second to realize what that was.

A choice.

Arion lifted his head just enough to murmur, voice low and wrecked, "Tell me to stop." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Dean’s throat tightened.

He should. He knew he should.

The word sat on the tip of his tongue, ready, sensible, and responsible.

And then Arion’s mouth returned to his throat, and Dean’s body answered in a way that made the word ’responsible’ evaporate.

Arion’s scent deepened, vetiver thickening, sliding warm through the room, but it remained controlled. Dean felt the effort of it, the discipline straining, and it did something dangerous to him: it made him want to reward it.

"Why would I do that?" Dean managed to breathe rather than speak as Arion pressed harder against Dean’s head, the sensation making his breath hitch even through two layers of clothing.

A low, dark chuckle rumbled against Dean’s skin, a vibration that seemed to travel straight to his bones. "A very good question," Arion murmured, his voice a low, intimate rumble. "One I’m eager to hear you answer when you can still form words."

He took the chance.

In one fluid, powerful motion, Arion moved. He rose over Dean, shifting his weight to enclose him, his knees bracing Dean’s thighs. The sudden change in position stole the air from Dean’s lungs. He was no longer pressed against Arion’s side; instead, he was beneath him, staring up at his alpha’s shadowed, intent face. The morning light caught Arion’s sharp jawline and the darkness in his eyes.

Arion’s gaze swept down Dean’s body, evoking such intense hunger that Dean’s skin prickled. His hands moved to Dean’s sleep pants waistband. There was no fumbling, no hesitation. He hooked his fingers into the fabric and paused.

"This is a terrible idea," Dean stated, his voice a low rasp. He didn’t want to stop, but the thought had to seep into the real world.

"The worst," Arion agreed, his voice equally rough. He didn’t look away from Dean’s eyes. "Tell me to stop, Dean. Tell me you don’t want this."

"If you stop now, I’m going to make you a monk for the rest of our lives."

Arion’s breath hitched, a sound so close to a laugh it was almost insulting. He stared down at Dean, his eyes widening with a disbelief that quickly melted into something far more dangerous. A slow, predatory grin spread across his face, the kind of grin that promised retribution and delight in equal measure.

"A monk?" he repeated, the words a low, incredulous rumble. "Dean, you don’t make threats. You deliver ultimatums."

Dean lifted his chin, a spark of old fire returning to his eyes despite his vulnerable position. "Consider this an ultimatum, then. Stop, and I swear to every god you hold dear, I’ll keep you in abstinence out of spite."

Arion’s predatory grin faded for a half-second, replaced by a look of profound, almost reverent comprehension. He was hearing not only a threat but also a surrender.

"Out of spite?" Arion repeated, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that vibrated through Dean’s very bones. He leaned down, his lips brushing against Dean’s ear, his breath a warm gust.

He hooked his fingers into the fabric and pulled them down in one smooth, decisive motion. The cool air hit Dean’s overheated skin, raising goosebumps.

Beneath the pants, Dean wore simple, dark boxer briefs, the fabric stretched taut over his burgeoning erection. A low growl rumbled in Arion’s chest, a sound of pure, primal appreciation.

"Dean," he breathed, the name a rough, reverent curse.

He hooked his thumbs into the briefs’ waistband and slid them down Dean’s legs, baring him completely.

Dean shivered, a full-body tremor of anticipation.

Arion’s grin widened. "Well," he murmured, his voice dropping to a husky whisper as he lowered his head, his lips brushing against Dean’s ear. "We can’t have that."

Arion’s mouth was on him before Dean could draw another breath.

A hot, wet seal of lips around the head of his cock, a swirl of a tongue that made Dean’s back arch off the bed with a choked, guttural sound. His hands flew to Arion’s hair, fingers entwined in the dark strands, not to guide, but to ground himself against the overwhelming sensation.

Arion hummed, the vibration traveling straight up Dean’s spine, and took him deeper. Dean’s head thrashed against the pillow. God, his mouth. The heat was incredible, a slick, tight blaze that seemed to pull the very soul from his body.

Arion sucked hard, drawing a ragged moan from Dean, then eased back, lavishing attention with his tongue along the sensitive underside, the ridge, and the throbbing vein. Every movement was calculated, every shift of his jaw designed to wring another broken sound from Dean’s throat.

Dean could only watch, dazed, as Arion worked him. The sight alone was nearly enough to undo him. Arion’s eyes were open, locked on Dean’s face, watching every flinch, every gasp, cataloging his reactions with an alpha’s intense focus. His cheeks hollowed beautifully as he sucked, his lips stretched wide, a faint sheen of sweat already glistening at his temples from the effort of his restraint. The vetiver scent was a thick, spicy cloud around them, but beneath it, Dean could smell himself on Arion’s skin, a musky, intimate perfume that made his stomach clench with want.

"Fuck, Arion," Dean gasped, his hips giving an involuntary jerk.

Arion’s hands, which had been braced on Dean’s thighs, slid up to grip his hips, pinning him to the mattress effortlessly.

The dominance of it, the sheer physical control, sent a fresh, dizzying wave of heat through Dean.

Arion pulled off with a wet, obscene pop, his breath coming in short, hot pants against Dean’s slick skin. He nuzzled the base of Dean’s cock, his lips brushing the coarse hair. "You taste like you’ve been waiting for this," he murmured, his voice gravelly with desire.

"I did," Dean admitted in a hoarse whisper, the confession torn from him.

A dark, pleased smile touched Arion’s lips. He answered by taking Dean deep again, this time until the head nudged the back of his throat. Dean cried out, his fingers tightening in Arion’s hair. Arion held him there for a long, breathless moment, his throat working around him, and Dean felt the fluttering tightening. He was seeing stars.

When Arion pulled back to breathe, a string of saliva connected his lips to Dean’s glistening cock. He didn’t break it. He leaned in again, licking a slow, torturous path from root to tip, his tongue flat and hot. He swirled it around the head, then dipped into the slit, tasting the precum beading there. Dean’s entire body shuddered, a full-body convulsion of pleasure so sharp it bordered on pain.

"More," Dean begged, the word a raw scrape in his throat. It wasn’t enough. The exquisite torture was pushing him to the brink, but he didn’t want to fall alone. "I need... fuck, Arion, more."

Arion lifted his head, his eyes blazing. "More what, Dean?" he asked, his voice dangerously soft. He stroked Dean with a firm, slick hand, his thumb rubbing over the leaking tip. "You have to say it."

Dean’s mind was a haze of need. "I want to come," he panted. "In your mouth. I want to feel you swallow it."
