The Claiming

Harry was tempted to tell his mate that he was in charge, and intended to claim the hell out of him thank you very much, but Harry's dragon was willing to play nice with the little dominant for the time being. Especially since he hated the physical barriers his silly human had put between them by donning all these useless layers he was wearing. Harry mentally shook his head over that as he shrugged the robe off while keeping his gaze locked with Eggsy, making sure that he had his mate's full attention.

Which he most definitely did judging from the way the boy was licking his lips, though the sizable erection his mate was sporting interested Harry a great deal more at the moment. He couldn't wait to take that inside him and enjoy everything it had to offer him to the fullest. All night long and well into morning. They had a lot of time to make up for after all, his stupid human self having denied him Eggsy for far too long.

But there was also a part of Harry that wanted, that needed to savor this rather than rush to the finish, so to speak. To finally be both wanted and seen for the powerful, desirable dragon that he was. He was sick and tired of others pitying him or looking down on him like he was less just because his human half had insisted on caging who and what they were. Who they were meant to be. But this was their mate, their true mate, and Eggsy saw him. Harry could tell. And while it would undoubtedly take them a while to educate his human half, Harry's dragon self was genuinely looking forward to the lessons.

Lesson One, they were desirable in their TRUE mate's eyes.

So Harry went a little slower in kicking off the slippers and removing the pajama top from his shoulders after undoing each of the buttons in turn. The pajama bottoms were pushed down to the floor and also kicked off with impatient haste though, because he needed to mate more than he needed air at this point, especially with this dragon who so obviously wanted him just as badly.

"You're fuckin sexy as 'ell, A'rry."

"And you're mine."

Growling in pleasure when Eggsy didn't contradict him, Harry closed the small space between them and wrapped one arm around the smaller dragon's waist to plaster him up against his own chest while his free hand got a very good grip on his mate's hair so that he could move Eggsy's head as he wished. And then he plundered the boy's soon to be very swollen and well kissed lips with relish.

Not that his mate needed encouragement, Harry was pleased to note seconds later when Eggsy's hands immediately came up to stroke and learn the skin and muscles of his back. His mate's hands were not soft and pampered, they were a man's hands with calluses and a roughness that made Harry's back arch under those fingers like a cat demanding more while he continued to learn his man's eager mouth and touch with growing skill and knowledge.

He wanted more access to his mate's body though, the idea of Eggsy sprawled out on the bed like a feast for him to taste and sample for his pleasure sending shudders up Harry's body as he licked his lips suggestively, intending to order the man to get his fine arse onto the bed.

But before the words could form on his lips Eggsy was moving, his mate's knees bending so that Harry automatically turned him loose so that his hold on the boy didn't hurt him. Which allowed Eggsy to drop down to his knees in front of him.

And staring down at his kneeling mate Harry's eyes widened, the golden brown slits all but nonexistent as his brain processed just what Eggsy was offering him as those rough hands slowly slid up Harry's thighs in case his intentions weren't clear.

"Eggsy…"

"With your permission." Eggsy purred back, moving in close to nuzzle his cheek against Harry's thigh before sending him a look that made it very clear he had every intention of sucking Harry's brains out through his cock. All Harry had to do was say yes.

"Do it."

"Yes, Mate."

)

In their culture it was omegas who went to their knees for their dominants, not the other way around, but as Eggsy had made clear earlier his mate had spent enough time with the humans that he didn't give a damn about their social norms. The fact that he was a dominant, it was really just a word to his mate and Eggsy was far more about the pleasures of the flesh then who should be doing what in the confines of their bedroom. A fact that his boy made very clear as he went about demonstrating to Harry that he had a great deal of skill and knowledge when it came to oral sex.

Which meant that in some small corner of his brain both the dragon and human side of Harry's nature were a little miffed at the idea of the men who'd come before them, no pun intended, but for the most part Harry was too focused on his mate's incredible skills to work up much ire.

Breathing Eggsy's name and alternating between ordering and almost begging his mate not to stop while his fingers clenched in his man's hair, Harry couldn't have taken his eyes off Eggsy if he'd been offered all the gold his people had in their coffers. Nothing could be more alluring and beautiful than the sight of Eggsy's eyes on him, so warm and filled with desire for him while those bruised red lips sucked on his cock. Eggsy knew just how tight to wrap his fingers around his base, how hard to suck, and whatever the boy was doing with his tongue could not possibly be legal. Fuck, Eggsy was literally making his knees weak, Harry aware that it was taking considerable control on his part not to just come, especially when Eggsy proved his mastery over his gag reflex by taking him so deep that Harry started to babble, recognizable words and sentences beyond him. He bit down on his bottom lips to muffle them further, his dragon refusing to be reduced to that. But it had been a lifetime since he'd felt this sort of pleasure and he couldn't…it was so good…he wanted…

Harry literally snarled his fury when Eggsy's lips suddenly slid off him, leaving him bereft of all that warm, wet heat.

"None of that, Luv. Come in my mouth like a good dragon now. We've got all night, remember, and I wanna know what my mate tastes like."

And so saying Eggsy returned to putting his saucy mouth back to considerable use, Harry reduced to more sounds and muffled words as Eggsy's lips and tongue attacked him with single-minded focus, his mate's next move causing Harry to arch and swear a blue streak as his brain struggled to process what Eggsy's fingers were doing.

On some level he'd been aware of the throbbing in his ass, the wet feeling striking Harry as odd because while he was an omega his ass self-lubricating only happened when he was in heat, which he wasn't. In theory it was supposed to happen whenever he was aroused, but his body had never behaved the way it was supposed to. But the pleasure Eggsy was giving him had been more than enough to distract him from that, especially when he was trying to draw out the experience rather than blow like a teenager. So even when Eggsy's free hand had left his hip to travel around to his ass, two of the boy's fingers stroking at his hole, Harry hadn't paid much attention to that, too focused on the man's much more devious mouth.

Or he had right up until those two fingers slide into his ass and started thrusted into him while Eggsy continued to work him over with his mouth.

"EGGSY!"

The way Eggsy's hummed knowingly, the vibrations working over his cock, well it was just too much and Harry came hard in his mate's mouth, his eyes closing as his world became one of pure sensation and feelings unlike any he'd ever experienced.

Too good to survive, but so worth it.

Shaking with the force of his climax, and then not, Harry was aware on some level that Eggsy had straightened up again and was now holding him, skin to skin, his mate's lips pressing kisses against his jaw and throat. Grounding him. Reassuring him that Eggsy was there and would take care of him so that he could simply lean on him and enjoy.

Humming his pleasure as he cuddled close, not even caring that the difference in their heights made it a little awkward as he nuzzled his cheek against Eggsy's hair, Harry murmured a thank you, his own lips curving into a smile when Eggsy chuckled and told him that it had been his pleasure.

Which reminded Harry of the fact that his mate had yet to come, a fact that embarrassed him because ignoring his mate's own need for release did not reflect well on him either as a mate or a lover. Especially when Eggsy had just given him more pleasure in one sex act that Chester had managed in decades. So Harry started to use his own body to shepherd Eggsy towards the bed, moving his hands down to grab Eggsy by his hips and then toss him onto the covers to show both his strength and his desire to join their bodies.

The surprised yelp Eggsy made when he landed made Harry smile more than a little rakishly, though his amusement faded quickly to stirrings of fresh lust when the boy crawled backward before splaying himself out on top of the covers with the pillows propping him up slightly as his mate twisted that beautiful body to put it on display for him. Just for him.

"No one will ever see you like this but me."

Lifting up one hand Eggsy held it out to him, beckoning him to take it. "No one. Now come 'ere."

Sliding onto the bed, and moving quickly to straddle his mate, Harry braced his hands on either side of Eggsy's head as he leaned in so that their noses were almost touching, pressing their lips together in what was meant to be a quick kiss.

Except Eggsy was apparently very interested in drawing out the kissing. And the touching. And it was really hard for Harry to remember why he wasn't pushing his mate to fuck him when he was feeling so relaxed from his earlier orgasm. Letting Eggsy touch and kiss him was certainly not a hardship, especially when his mate was so skilled and knowledgeable at doing both. There was also the fact that he absolutely loved the praise and lustful comments Eggsy whispered or groaned at him when their lips weren't joined and he could tell Harry how sexy and gorgeous he was. After years of that fool he'd been stuck with blaming him for everything he now had Eggsy, who would submit and acknowledge him as his equal. In fact Harry had no idea how much time had passed before it eventually registered just how pained Eggsy was starting to look due to the way Harry had started rubbing against him in a demand for more touching.

In a flash of insight Harry understood that Eggsy was holding back and ignoring his own pleasure for Harry's sake. That his mate was so determined to show him how good it could be between them that he was ignoring his own wants and needs. And while it was true that his silly human side probably needed and appreciated the restraint Eggsy was showing him Harry's dragon half rolled his eyes as he reared up to a sitting position. A moment to appreciate the flare of heat in Eggsy's eyes as he looked him over and then Harry shifted down the toned bod beneath him and grabbed ahold of his mate's erection with one hand, his other hand resting on Eggsy's chest for balance as he very swiftly and without hesitation worked Eggsy's cock deep inside his ass.

Back bowing as he groaned out Harry's name like a prayer, Eggsy opened his eyes again as soon as Harry demanded that he look at him, their eyes meeting and holding as Harry's experimented with a few thrusts to get just the right angle to drive them both mad. He was soaking wet for his mate at this point after all, and despite Eggsy's pleasing bulk Harry found that he could take him easily. There was no pain here, no harsh words and demands for Harry to do this his way either even though Eggsy's finger tips were digging into his thighs. Supporting and keeping him where he was, yes, but not stopping him. Because this was about giving and taking pleasure from another, no selfishness or rules on how that pleasure was to be gained.

"I want you to come inside me. Come inside me, Eggsy." Growling out the demand Harry couldn't think of anything he wanted more. He wanted to see his mate come apart under him, claiming him completely as he did the same.

"Fuck! Not without you!"

Fingers digging in hard enough to leave bruises, not that Harry cared, Eggsy started to take more control of their mating as their bodies met in loud slaps of flesh on flesh, Harry moaning his approval at the sensations and sparks the new angle and strength behind Eggsy's thrusts caused.

"Shit! Shit, A'rry! I can't…I gotta….ya feel so fuckin good! Are ya close?! Oh please God!"

Chuckling darkly in amusement, he loved the power he had, Harry licked his lips before putting a lot of sex into his next words. "Come inside me, Eggsy, that's all I need." And he clenched his ass muscles down around Eggsy as hard as he could for emphasis.

"Fuck!"

Hissing a long, drawn out 'yes' as he felt Eggsy's climax fill his ass, the man's shouts and the way Eggsy shuddered beneath him as his orgasm took him over, Harry giving himself over to the pleasure and stroking himself off to join Eggsy in his bliss.

And he couldn't wait to do it all over again as soon as Eggsy was up to it.

)

It was late morning when Harry woke up, his human side in control while his dragon half purred away in the background of his mind, content and utterly relaxed. His human side was feeling very similar too, Harry's eyes fluttering only a little before he buried his face in his pillow again, breathing in Eggsy's scent with a smile of pleasure. He did so love the way the boy smelled, and the fact that his nose was picking up on both their scents entwined and complimenting each other brought his appreciation to a whole other level that made Harry want to do nothing more than wallow in it.

Unfortunately this was oversleeping even for him, and Harry's wish to go back to sleep was further hindered by the fact that he couldn't quite remember or figure out just why he would be sleeping on a pillow that smelled like Eggsy. Was he sleeping over at Eggsy's place for some reason? That couldn't be it because Chester would never allow that and…and…OH!

Jerking up to his hands and knees as memories of the night before hit him like a ton of bricks, Harry immediately dropped back onto his stomach with a low groan, a hand instinctively covering his ass like Eggsy might suddenly pop out of nowhere to take it again.

Eggsy. Where was Eggsy?

Carefully turning over and sitting up with the covers pooled around his waist, Harry blinked as he looked around for his mate, checking the sheets beside him when he failed to spot the man who hadn't just knocked his world off its axis, but blown it to smithereens. The sheets still held some of his mate's warmth, but where was Eggsy? Why…why wasn't he here with him?

Wait. What time was it?

Turning his head in the direction of the nightstand Harry's jaw dropped as his mind processed what the hands on the clock meant. Eleven twenty something? It was almost noon?!

Throwing aside the covers Harry slid off the bed and was about to make a dash for the bathroom to shower when the bedroom door opened, Harry freezing like a deer in headlights as Eggsy walked into the room wearing his robe. His robe and possibly nothing else. And Eggsy looked all bed tousled and sexy and…dear God, Eggsy was his mate and they'd had sex the night before. Lots and lots of sex. Really, really good and fantastic sex that had been…the opposite of what he'd known with Chester. It had been straight out of a movie or romance novel.

Harry's voice was embarrassingly hoarse from all the shouting he'd done the night before. "Eggsy."

"And here I was lookin forward ta waking you up." Grinning mischievously as he swaggered over to him, there was no other word for it, Eggsy wrapped his arms around him, though the hold was a loose one. "Okay?"

Understanding what he was being asked, and well aware that he was blushing like the virgin he was most certainly not, Harry nodded as he brought his own arms up to encircle Eggsy's waist in turn. Though he did have to lean forward and press his cheek against Eggsy's hair so that his mate couldn't see how embarrassed he was now that he was not only remembering the night before, but was very aware he was currently butt naked.

And then Harry remembered what time it was, and he had to pull away as he blurted out how late they were for the festivities planned for the day.

Eggsy snorted and pulled Harry back into his arms when he would have hurried off towards the bathroom again. "I already made it clear that we wouldn't be joining the rest until after lunch. So shower if ya want, but we have brunch waitin for us in the parlor and we aren't leaving this room until we have to. Attendance isn't mandatory until your bastard ex's actual mating ceremony."

"Brunch?"

"Yup. I'll even feed you if you want." Eggsy wiggled his eyebrows for emphasis.

"Oh, Eggsy."
