Cursed a thousand years ago for the crimes of their forefathers, the warrior men of Lykaios are imprisoned to stay on their island home.

Excerpt
STORY EXCERPT
“Wh-wh—“ Gabriel stammered, his doe-like
eyes wide and his lips quivering. His hands held his strange device
closer to his chest.
Lysander didn’t realize how they were
positioned until he realized how small Gabriel was. Lysander was
broader, more muscular and larger than the human could ever hope to
become, and yet… he fit in the space inside Lysander’s body. It was like
he was the protective cocoon, and Gabriel was the caterpillar inside.
The human’s face was flushed bright red, and Lysander’s own cheeks
turned pink.
Slowly, Lysander could feel a gentle
pressure against the top of his abdomen. Gabriel was touching him. He
looked down to see the contrast in their skin – Gabriel’s pale, soft
hands against Lysander’s tough, tanned skin – and the wolf shifter felt
his insides warm, permeating from that point where they touched.
Then he slowly touched the hand on his
chest, grasping it tightly, but not in a way that would hurt the human.
He leaned in and pressed his nose against Gabriel’s neck, causing the
human to gasp. Gabriel’s was an octave higher than earlier, and
goosebumps appeared all over his neck where Lysander’s nose and lips
pressed. The human smelled of fresh citrus and heady sweat from having
been beaten down on by the sun outside. Titillating, yet strange, but
altogether delicious, said the wolf inside of Lysander that seemed to
purr in approval. Well, that was a first, Lysander thought, a grin appearing on his face.
Lysander broke the small space between the
two of them to press a kiss onto Gabriel’s lips. Firm yet tender, the
wolf inside of Lysander howled in approval at the feeling of the human’s
lips against his own, and even more so when Gabriel seemed to close his
eyes, his body seeking the warmth of Lysander’s own as the young human
slowly wrapped his arms around the wolf shifter’s bare chest.
Lysander felt nails raking slowly against
his back, and down his sides. Their kiss deepened, a primal passion
Lysander hadn’t ever known before filling his mind. His lips opened for
Gabriel, whose tongue slowly, curiously explored the warm cavern of
Lysander’s mouth. In response, Lysander pressed his body ever closer to
the human’s, just as his inner wolf was beginning to scratch and niggle
at something inside of his mind.
Gabriel was his. It didn’t matter
if the man wasn’t his mate. Centuries of loneliness had finally eroded
the walls Lysander built around himself. Having a man so beautiful, so
curious and seemingly so innocent as the one he was currently lip-locked
with was enough to make his body react. His body became as warm as a
furnace, nipples poking out like pinpricks in arousal as his large,
muscular body wrapped perfectly around Gabriel’s own, drawing the
smaller male into his arms as they deepened their kiss as far as it
could go, with their teeth pressing against each other while their
tongues dueled, danced, and tasted.
Lysander swore he could feel Gabriel’s
erection press up against his own, but with all the pleasure driving him
heady, he couldn’t make for certain. Despite him already being
shirtless and Gabriel’s body being covered only by thin fabric, there
was just too much clothing between the two of them for Lysander’s
liking.
It took all of the strength and willpower
Lysander had in himself to finally pull away. They both needed to
breathe, and the hammering of his heart told him that it was sooner
rather than later. As the thrumming echoes of his heartbeat filled his
head, he panted, staring into Gabriel’s eyes as though he were in a
haze.
Gabriel was gasping for breath. His lips,
which were already full and slightly pink, were even redder now,
reminding Lysander just how good the human tasted. Already, he wanted to
sink back in to kiss the human. Lysander remained there, his arms
finally moving from being wrapped around Gabriel’s lithe form to slowly
moving back to his sides.
Lysander’s eyes traveled over Gabriel’s
form. He quivered, pushing a bit more firmly with his hand on Lysander’s
chest, and although the wolf inside of Lysander didn’t want to, he
pulled back and looked into Gabriel’s eyes. Lysander heard the
thundering of Gabriel’s heart, the way he audibly swallowed as he gently
pressed fingers onto his lips. Then, his eyes darted up and down, from
Lysander’s chest to his face, down and up again, before finally the
human spoke.
“I-I’m sorry, I don’t usually kiss people
like that after first meeting them. That may have been a mistake,” The
human said softly, trying to inch away. Lysander noticed this and
immediately took a step back, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
He turned his gaze to the side, taking deep breaths to calm down and to
settle his racing heartbeat.
“O-oh god, what must you think of me now?”
Gabriel asked suddenly, his hands suddenly coming up to his cheeks.
Lysander immediately turned back toward the petite male. The man’s face
was flushed pink, and, Lysander noted, for all the wrong reasons, too.
“I think you are intriguing.” Lysander
replied plainly, though he was still taking deep breaths and trying his
hardest not to break his composure. “And I would ask to see you again
another time.”
ADULT EXCERPT
“Take your time, erastes,” Lysander bit down on his lower lip. “Want to feel all of you. This… This feels so good.”
Gabriel took a deep breath. He was barely containing his excitement as he grasped a tighter hold of Lysander’s chiton,
his grip so tight that it started to rip the fabric. With a quick pull
on Lysander’s part, he aided in the destruction of the garment,
revealing his entire body for Gabriel to touch and feel.
Just gliding his palms up and down the
hills of Lysander’s stomach was like a dream. The wolf shifter prickled
with sweat and he was panting, but as Gabriel grabbed a tight hold of
Lysander’s pectorals, he eased himself down onto the man’s prick, until
Lysander was completely balls deep inside Gabriel, and the human could
feel each throb and twitch of his lover’s cock inside of him.
It was then that Gabriel’s heartbeat and
his breathing began to go back to normal. Even though there was the
slight prick of pain mixing with the pleasure inside of him, Gabriel
couldn’t get enough. It was like the two of them were finally connected
at that moment.
Gabriel started to swivel his hips,
undulating his waist and rubbing his own shaft against Lysander’s navel,
staring down into his lover’s eyes. He grasped tightly at Lysander’s
pectorals, elevating his rear ever so slightly, just enough for the
taller man to begin bucking his hips forward and back. His own shaft
grew as hard as it could, and Gabriel knew that he wanted so much more –
craved so much more – of Lysander filling him.
Chanting Gabriel’s name softly, Lysander’s
hands grasped tightly on the sheets around him. Wildly bucking his hips
forward and back as he rode his lover, Gabriel had to bite back a gasp
when he’d hit something inside of him that made his legs weak.
“A-ah, Lysander…” Gabriel whimpered, just
as Lysander’s hands found their way underneath his shirt, gently tugging
on the buttons until they were loose and Gabriel was just as naked as
he. Gabriel looked down to see the man’s eyes glimmer in the shade of
gold, showing him the lust that permeated inside of his body.
“Erastes, you look so wonderful
bouncing like that,” Lysander whispered, his face contorted into a
slight grin as he continued to thrust up and down, his cock sliding just
a single inch in and out of Gabriel’s needy little rear. “Am I pleasing
you?”
Gabriel’s only reply was a heady,
breathless moan, which made Lysander chuckle and thrust upward even
harder. “Ah! Ah! Shit… Ah, L-Lysander, you feel so good…” Gabriel’s face
turned a bright shade of pink at his perverse words, but it wasn’t like
he could do anything. He adjusted his spectacles that were beginning to
go askew from all of their movement, simply out of habit. Now, he was a
slave to the pleasure that brimmed between the two of them.
“I wanted you to be the one to take the
reins and take control,” Lysander’s voice became softer, more ragged as
he continued to thrust, panting in between words. Gabriel smiled. “But I
can’t resist. You look beautiful. Sweat glistening down your face and
your body, and your body is so tight, I don’t know if I can last long…”
Gabriel pressed himself down, sliding
their chests together, pressing their bodies into each other as he
kissed Lysander’s lips. Gabriel’s manhood rubbed against Lysander’s
muscles as the man underneath him writhed and took control. The wolf
shifter’s hands grasped the perfect pair of Gabriel’s cheeks, pulling
them apart to make it easier for him to push his pelvis up and slam his
cock right into that tight, hot body.
