Claimed Beauty (The Cubi Book 2) Read online

  Daniel got up and gently peeled the towel off, and it definitely caught in something. Seldon bit down on the pain and fisted the blanket as Daniel removed it. “Some of your wounds already have scabs. Some are stuck in the towel.”

  “Just leave it in the sink for tomorrow,” Seldon croaked. “Sleep well, cub.”

  “You, too,” Daniel said and got rid of the towel before he turned down his bed. Then he stopped and looked at Seldon. “Do you need a glass of water or something?”

  “That would be nice, yeah.”

  “Be right back.” Daniel tiptoed out of the bedroom and returned shortly after with a tall glass which he placed on the bedside table. He then ran his fingers through Seldon’s hair again—a gesture so intimate yet soothing. Yeah, his cub was settling in nicely as a Changeling, and Seldon was still amazed that the boy didn’t hold as much animosity toward him as he had thought at first. He liked the care Daniel took to show him they were becoming better friends. The situation could have been hell, but things looked promising.

  Seldon woke up to a murmuring, and by the scent in the room, Daniel was in the middle of a wet dream. Okay, so hunger came to him during the early hours of the morning. Seldon flexed his back to know how much it had healed, but it still stung like a motherfucker. Like the wounds had finally grown scabs but only superficially, and any movement made the newly formed layers break free from the still frayed flesh underneath.

  Either way, he had to feed his boy. He’d just have to relax through it.

  “Daniel, Daniel!”

  The boy jumped awake, short of breath. “What?”

  “Your hunger is taking over. Come on.”

  “Are you better?” Daniel asked, sitting up, apparently still dragging himself out of whatever dream had his cock ooze pre-cum by the buckets.

  “No, but you need to feed,” Seldon said. Daniel looked concerned and came to kneel next to the bed. A shiver tore through his body, and he ran his hands over his arms as if trying to soothe the ache. “Preferably before you get so out of control you could hurt my back.”

  “But it hurts you.”

  “Hey, Daniel. Just…top this pain I’m in with some pleasure, would you?”

  Daniel looked off in thought. “Didn’t think of it like that.”

  Probably not, no, but Seldon knew it wouldn’t take much to talk a Changeling into giving in.

  Daniel opened the bedside drawer and pulled out a tube of lube. “So, I top a bit more than you thought I would.” Daniel smiled cheekily and leaned in for a kiss.

  “Can’t dose you before you’ve prepped me.”

  “I know, just wanted a kiss,” Daniel murmured against Seldon’s lips before he stuck out his tongue to tease Seldon. It worked. It kept surprising him how much Daniel could affect him, and he moaned softly when their tongues met. “I’m gonna give you some pleasure. Take your mind off things,” Daniel whispered, planting soft kisses on Seldon’s jaw before he got up, leaving Seldon wanting more of his mouth.

  Daniel crawled onto the bed and settled between Seldon’s legs, and Seldon could hear the cap of the lube open. Turning his head would stretch some of the closing wounds high on his shoulders so he settled in, hoping Daniel could control himself enough to not hurt him once dosed. He didn’t have to wait long, and Daniel didn’t seem as nervous as he had been the first time. Not that kind of nervous, anyway. His hand was steady and secure in where it was going when he pushed a finger into Seldon. The burning and pinching sensation of his back still took all his focus and only a little pleasure made it to Seldon’s brain.

  Another finger and a slow but steady tempo pushed more pleasure at him, and he sighed in relief. A third finger pushed in, and Seldon could definitely feel that Daniel was getting impatient.

  “God, you have a delicious ass,” Daniel purred, pushing into him a bit harder.

  “Thanks. Then fuck that delicious ass for a few minutes before I dose you, okay?”

  Daniel snickered. “Okay…shit, I’m scared I’m gonna lean on your lower back.”

  “Help me by pushing my legs together. That way you can straddle them. It’ll help you sit upright a bit more. Don’t just shove in there.”

  “No, no,” Daniel said, rearranging Seldon’s legs. Shortly after, Seldon felt a slick cock find its way between his cheeks, and he jutted his ass up a bit to help while trying to ignore the pain in the skin over his lower back. But Daniel found his mark in the semi-darkness of the bedroom, and Seldon groaned as pleasure spread enough to make it through the signals of pain.

  “Yeah, that’s it,” Seldon said softly, thinking how he was going to dose Daniel as even raising his head from the mattress enough for a tongue kiss caused pain. Dosing glass, he finally remembered and carefully reached for the drawer. He opened it and rummaged through it blindly, finally finding a vial. His tongue fit if elongated, and he released a dose in it and popped the lid.

  “What are you doing?” Daniel asked, chuckling, keeping the slow, deep rhythm.

  “Dose,” Seldon said, holding up the vial with the light green viscous liquid. Daniel leaned forward, mindfully, and took the vial.

  “Just drink it?”

  “Yeah, it’s how we usually deliver doses to break in breeders. We mix it up with juice or something since they tend to balk at getting a kiss.”

  “Oh, clever,” Daniel said and sat up. Seldon waited while Daniel’s hips kept a slow rhythm—so slow that the minute friction of Daniel’s cock sliding in and out was driving him crazy and didn’t give enough to rival the pain in his back.

  Then Daniel groaned loudly and jerked. “Fuck.” Daniel sped up.

  “Careful, cub.”

  “Yeah, oh fuck, your ass feels amazing.” The dose made Daniel’s speech slur like he was drunk on lust.

  “Try to control yourself. That’s what the dose is supposed to teach Changelings. Try to hold back a bit.”

  Daniel grabbed an ass cheek in each hand and gently kneaded them, moaning loudly as he decreased his pace to almost as excruciatingly slow as before. But Seldon could definitely feel the boy’s focus on both giving and taking pleasure from him.

  “Uh, yeah…shit.” Daniel sounded like he had trouble with the whole self-control thing but his increasing speed was well within what Seldon could handle without feeling more pain in his back. He could feel his spine tingle at feeding, but it was pretty much drowned out by the constant burn on his entire back. It struck him that the burn might be enough to keep him from reaching orgasm since the fucking hadn’t drowned out the pain enough for him to focus purely on the pleasure.

  Shit, if that was the case, he couldn’t suck the dose from Daniel, and the boy could fuck him until noon and not get the release he needed.

  Daniel’s moans grew louder, and his breathing shallower as he thrust harder.

  “Daniel, lean forward and place your hands on either side of me. Change your angle of fucking me,” Seldon urged, hoping he could get the boy to fuck his prostate enough to blow a load. Daniel erupted in orgasm and filled Seldon’s ass a minute later.

  “Oh, fuck, I need more, your ass feels so fucking good.”

  “Then fuck that ass, find that good spot in there,” Seldon said, gripping the sheets because pleasure definitely took over now that Daniel leaned forward and shoved himself in deeper. “Oh, yeah boy, oh fuck!”

  As the feeding became stronger, Seldon needed more, but every attempt to move with the thrusts made pain tear through his back, minimizing the pleasure. It was, contrary to what he had hoped, not possible to lie still and let the boy feed them both. Every time he felt a rise enough to think he would reach orgasm, his body would roll with the pleasure and shoves and the pain would pull him back down from the pending climax.

  Daniel sped up, groaning louder and louder, and Seldon knew he was on his way to the second orgasm. However, he could do that all fucking day and not get anything out of it if Seldon couldn’t reach a climax and the boy wasn’t skilled enough to find and keep tapping his prostate to
at least milk it from him.

  As Daniel hit his second climax, Seldon scrambled on the bedside table for his phone, calling Caledon. A groggy voice answered on the other end.

  “I can’t come because of the pain, and Daniel is dosed going on—”

  Daniel cried out another orgasm, before declaring once again that he needed more, that he needed to come again.

  “On my way!” Caledon said and disconnected. Seldon bit down, riding the pain/pleasure train he had willingly gotten on while Daniel kept going. His ass was going to be so fucking sore tomorrow. Good thing he wasn’t going to move or sit anywhere.

  “Why isn’t this stopping? Aren’t you feeding? Don’t you enjoy me tonight?” Daniel sounded hurt by the prospect.

  “Oh, I’m feeding cub, I am enjoying you. Pain just won’t let me reach orgasm, so I can’t work the dose out of you.”

  “Oh, shit, am I gonna hurt you?” Daniel stopped, shaking from pent up and unfulfilled lust as he fought the dose to keep still.

  “No, keep going, just slow down a bit if you can. You do keep the pain at bay,” Seldon said, panting. Daniel whimpered and continued at a slower pace. “Caledon is on his way to help us out.”

  “Good. I don’t want you in any more pain. I want you well again. Beautiful again. I want you strong and smiling. So we can play pool.” Daniel’s chest came into contact with Seldon’s back, and he tensed up, sending a new wave of pain through his sore skin.

  The door opened, and Caledon made his way to the bed, stripping off his clothes as he went. He climbed behind Daniel. “How you holding up, Seldon.”

  “Been better.”

  “I’m sorry,” Daniel said, still trying to hold still.

  “Hey, not your fault. I was planning on coming by early. Like, in an hour, hoping you hadn’t gotten this far. I know this is impossible, come on,” Caledon said.

  Daniel groaned loudly and ground into Seldon who cried out from the pleasure of Daniel hitting a sweet spot.

  “You get to try what you watched, cub,” Caledon whispered, getting a whimpered response and more groaning from Daniel. “Don’t worry, I’ll suck that dose right out of you.”

  “Oh fuck…argh!”

  Seldon grinned at picturing Daniel in the middle. Good thing the boy was a verse. They could have so much fun with that if Caledon was up for it. There was no doubt as to when Caledon entered Daniel because the thrusts changed, and so did the sounds the boy made. Seldon was back on fire, both ass and back, and his lust was spiraling as Daniel’s heightened pleasure fed both Caledon and Seldon.

  “Yeah, that’s it, cub, will you come for me, too?” Caledon whispered, snapping his hips and sending Daniel’s dick into Seldon in short and quick thrusts. Once again, Seldon slammed back against the thrusts, sending pain down his back.

  “Yeah, yeah,” Daniel panted.

  “Feed Seldon again, come in him so he can get strong again.”

  “Yeah…oh fuck this is good!”

  Caledon growled and thrust harder, and Seldon pushed back, his back searing, but fuck if the boy wasn’t right that the three of them were good together. He’d even bottom for them again when he could move to participate fully.

  “Fuck!” Caledon roared and pumped three times hard. Daniel shuddered and filled Seldon for the third time before the party at the back came to a halt. Seldon quivered and sweated, his back stung like hell, and his ass burned. And his dick was thoroughly displeased with not seeing any action but the friction against the blanket and the slipperiness of his own pre-cum.

  Daniel collapsed onto the bed next to Seldon, and Caledon took a seat on the edge of the bed.

  “Seriously, Seldon, I wasn’t going to let you go these days alone while you heal. You really thought that?”

  “Yeah.”

  “I’m not that cruel.”

  “Figured I was being tested or something.”

  “Oh, you were. But I planned on being here when I wanted to see if you would give it a go or ask for help.”

  “At least tell me if I passed your test,” Seldon said, finding enough energy for a chuckle.

  “You did. Flying colors. And I never doubted you would since you’re an honorable man. You keep your word and carry out every order given. I’m not the only one testing you, you know.” Caledon got up and crouched next to Seldon’s head. “How’s the back?”

  “In pain.”

  “Do you want the towel back on?” Daniel asked.

  “Yeah, thanks, cub.”

  Daniel left them, and Caledon turned his head to look at the boy. “This was fun.”

  “Yeah, could have been a lot more fun.”

  “Mind if I stay?”

  “No.”

  Caledon got up and looked at Daniel’s old bed. “Is he sleeping there?”

  “He insisted on it, scared he’d hit me during the night.”

  “Too bad,” Caledon said, slipping under the covers.

  Seldon chuckled at Daniel’s puzzled expression as he returned. “Come on, cub, sleep next to me. That way I can wake you when I need my towel changed.”

  “Okay,” Daniel said and gently placed the cold towel over Seldon before climbing in. “I’m sorry.”

  Seldon turned his head to look at his beautiful boy. He wasn’t supposed to look sad over this, so Seldon reached out and took his hand, smiling at him. “Don’t be, cub. Let’s talk tomorrow…well, later today.”

  “Okay.”

  Seldon fell asleep from sheer exhaustion.

  Chapter Eleven

  Waking up to the scent of coffee was great. Then Daniel’s brain kicked into gear, because who had made the coffee? He opened his eyes and sat up, finding Rosadin sitting on the edge of his old bed with Caledon reclining against the pillows with a cup of coffee in his hand. They spoke quietly. Daniel checked on Seldon. His face was turned toward Daniel, and he was still sleeping. He looked beautiful when he slept, and Daniel found him beautiful. Was it the Cubus in him making it easier to accept that he had sex with men? He had no idea how a newborn Cubi usually felt or transitioned into their new life, and he only had born Cubi around. He couldn’t ask them.

  Daniel looked at Rosadin and remembered that the photographer Heimli was a Changeling, too. And that Seldon had mentioned something about a calendar for Caledon’s birthday. Maybe he could ask Heimli then? He then wondered how he’d feel about meeting the big Viking again, but it had gone okay with meeting Rosadin. Well, it was okay now.

  Taking a closer look at Rosadin, she looked so much like her dad. The chiseled features were just softer and feminine. Talk about a beautiful gene pool. Her eyes weren’t Seldon’s though, and her hair was colored, so Daniel had no idea if it was Seldon’s almost black or her mother’s…something. The luscious lips were from Seldon that was for sure.

  “Morning, Daniel.”

  Daniel looked up, finding Rosadin looking at him. “Morning.” He smiled and sat up as carefully as possible to not stir Seldon. He looked at his back, seeing it scabbing over nicely so Rosadin must have removed the towel. The very early morning fuck came back to him and with it came guilt.

  “Hey, cub,” Caledon said. “Have some coffee with that morning guilt.”

  Rosadin poured him a cup and served it on the bed.

  “He’s going to be better, soon. Caledon said you gave him three fills of semen?”

  That was just so wrong to be asked by the guy’s daughter, but sex was something different to them, he reminded himself. So he nodded.

  “Good. It’ll make him heal faster.”

  “So, I should just feed him semen? Great. I can do that without a dose and hurting him.”

  Seldon’s arm moved to feel for Daniel, finally finding a thigh to rest a hand on. Daniel had very few places other than the arm, ass, and thigh to caress, so he chose to hold the hand.

  “Don’t do this to yourself, Daniel,” Seldon said.

  “Yeah, it’s a miscalculation on my part. I had hoped the three doses you got in the office would h
ave kept you over,” Caledon said.

  “Two, I got two doses,” Daniel corrected him.

  “Oh, well, that would definitely explain my serious lack of timing. I’m sorry about that.”

  “It’s okay,” Seldon mumbled and turned his head to look at Caledon.

  “My plan for today is to have Daniel with me. Since I have to register him as a Changeling and all, I figured it to be a good excuse for him not to be here to feed on you, giving you some time to heal. I’ll take care of his feeding today.”

  “Thanks,” Seldon said, squeezing Daniel’s hand.

  “My brothers are coming later today,” Rosadin said.

  “Yeah, the train arrives in four hours,” Caledon informed them, looking at his phone. “And I have an appointment soon so Daniel, if you would shower and make yourself presentable, I’ll come and get you in an hour. Don’t forget to eat human food before I arrive, too.”

  “Yes, My Lord.”

  Caledon drank the rest of his coffee and got up to find his clothes. “Thank you for the coffee, Rosadin.”

  “My Lord,” she answered.

  Caledon left, and Daniel sighed in relief at knowing that Seldon would get some rest.

  “You gonna stay with him?” Daniel asked.

  “Of course, I am,” Rosadin said and smiled. “But I’d appreciate if you took the task of washing him upon yourself. I’ll make you some breakfast in the meantime, so we won’t keep the Lord waiting.”

  “Thanks,” Daniel said and finished his coffee, too. Rosadin took his cup and left, and Daniel hurried to the bathroom to find a washbasin and filled it with warm water. He also looked under the sink where Seldon had once told Alex the ointment for a sore ass could be located. Reading the labels on the tubes, he finally found it and brought it and the water to the bed.

  “Never done this before,” Daniel informed Seldon who just chuckled.

  “Just wash my ass. I’ll be able to get up tomorrow and move around a bit. I can have a more thorough bath then. And if I stink, feel free to sleep in your own bed again.”
