Finding Love Chapter 59
Vegeta let out a groan as he woke up. He rolled so that he was laying on his stomach and buried his face in a pillow. Fur sliding on his naked skin felt delicious, and he wanted to remain in bed to really enjoy the sensation. Vegeta was beginning to understand just why Karo was so prone to touching and brushing against him when he’d been under the influence of Lady Tarro’s transformation. He stretched out an arm across the furs to find his mate once his mind recognized the lack of warmth, but the beta wasn't within reach. The alpha pushed himself up out of the furs to look for his mate, but he was alone in the room. A frown grew on his face until the smell of biscuits and stone boar meat being cooked registered. His stomach growled at the mouthwatering scent so he moved off the nest to head to the kitchen. Vegeta snagged a crimson robe from a hook close to the door to cover his nude body. Once he finished knotting the belt, he came to stand in the doorway to watch his mate cook. Kakarot was standing in the by the stove humming as he turned a large slab of meat on a griddle. The prince saw numerous pots and pans on the stove, and he was looking forward to the amazing meal the submissive was cooking. It surprised the older man once he found out that his mate could cook, but he was thankful for the discovery. His Karo was very good in the kitchen. He was clad in a pair of loose black pants with his upper body on display, and Vegeta smiled at seeing multiple love bites on that wonderfully soft scar-less skin. Just seeing the evidence of his claim on the beta was making his blood start to rush to his lower body once more. He wanted to put more marks on that honey colored flesh, he needed to. Not being able to stay away any longer, Vegeta padded over to Goku and snaked his arms around the submissive's waist. His sudden embrace caused the younger saiyan to jump a little, but he purred and leaned into the embrace as soon as he caught the prince's scent. The alpha's chest rumbled as he caught his scent on his mate's skin, and he buried his face in Goku's shoulder. “Good morning, Geta,” Goku greeted cheerfully. He rubbed his cheek in flame shaped spikes with a happy smile on his face. “Breakfast will be ready soon. I hope you're hungry!” “I can think of something I’d like to have at the moment.” He purred giving the beta an affectionate nip as his hand gently cupped his mate’s ass. He didn’t have to see the blush to know it was on his mate’s cheeks. Goku squeaked before he heartlessly swatted at the man but did little to actually make Vegeta let him go. “As much as I enjoyed last night, I need food before we do anything else.” Goku stated firmly. “I don’t know how you aren’t starving.” Vegeta chuckled as he breathed deep inhaling his mate’s scent, purring as he nuzzled into the back of Kakarot’s neck before letting the man go to finish cooking undisturbed. Tarro forbid he make the beta ruin something on the stove. He wanted to remain in his mate's good books. He moved to the table to watch the submissive finish breakfast looking forward to the meal. The oven let out a beep, and as soon as it opened, the smell had the prince's stomach growling. Goku was plating the food on several large platters, and he loaded his arms up to bring everything to the table. Vegeta groaned at the sight of stone boar chops, gravy, biscuits, eggs, a fruit bowl with items from Earth and Vegetasei, rice, toast, pancakes, sausages, and four large pitchers of orange juice. He immediately reached out to snag a biscuit, but the beta smacked his hand with his tail as he moved beside the older man. “Not yet, Geta,” Goku mock scolded as he moved to get glasses. “I can't believe you had everything stocked for me. Even with our appetites, there's enough food here to last us for a month!” “I just wanted to be sure you’d have anything you could want.” The alpha purred as he watched the younger saiyan come closer to him once more. Vegeta grabbed his mate around the waist as he placed the glasses on the table. He nuzzled his cheek against the warm skin covering Goku's abdominal muscles, and he let out a growl at the wonderful scent. “That's very thoughtful of you, anaana.” The beta threaded his fingers in the black spikes to scratch at the prince's scalp before untangling himself from the other’s arms. “Come on, let’s eat before it gets cold. After that, I want another bath.” Vegeta narrowed his eyes as the submissive sat down at the other end of the table. The cinnamon scent Kakarot possessed was sweeter than before; but before he could think on it more, a plate was placed in front of him with different foods piled on it. Goku smiled as he watched the alpha dig into his meal with a groan of relish at his first taste of the food. He had worked hard on breakfast, and he was so happy that his mate loved his food. “Perhaps I’ll join you for that bath Karo, or do you want another shower?” Vegeta purred smirking at the violent blush on his mate’s cheeks as the beta obviously remembered their shower last night. FLASHBACK Goku’s head fell back against the shower wall with a loud moan as the saiyan prince held him there while attacking the bite mark with a steady stream of licks, kisses and nips. Vegeta held him off the tiled floor with his arms wrapped around the alpha’s neck and his legs wrapped around his waist. His black tail swayed a little before it coiled around the prince's left thigh. “Ge….Geta!” “I take it back, Karo.” The older man growled softly grinding their hips together under the stream of hot water. “I think I like this room a great deal.” The submissive just panted as his eyes gazed at the ceiling unseeingly, and he mewled when he felt calloused hands slide up his thighs to rest on his hips. Just feeling the attention his bond bite was receiving was causing the beta to feel lightheaded. Vegeta finally moved from the spot once he felt like he had caused it to stand out enough. The older saiyan let out satisfied growl as soon as he saw the redness of his mark after he pulled away. His dark eyes flickered over honeyed skin, and Vegeta felt his lips curl up at the blank canvas. His mate wasn't as muscular as he was before his pregnancy, but there were still lines of definition on the submissive's body. The alpha flexed his hands on the other’s flanks as he pressed forward to latch his mouth the hollow of Goku's throat. He needed to make more marks on his Karo. He needed to show everyone that this man belonged to him and him alone. He could feel his instincts demand that he place as many marks as he could on the body before him. Goku dug one of his hands in the prince's hair to help ground himself as pleasure made his body shake in strong arms. He allowed his head to fall as far back as it could go against the wall to let Vegeta have more room. He writhed against the cool tiles and the dominant’s warm skin, and he tightened his legs to silently tell his mate to hurry up. As the mouth moved from his throat in a direction towards his heart, the arms holding him lifted the beta’s body further up on the wall. He let out a yelp that morphed into a confused groan of pleasure as Vegeta's tongue started to lap at his nipple. The feeling was more intense than it was during their first shared dream, and while the sensation felt good, it almost made him slightly self conscious. The sound above his head had the prince chuckling as he pressed the younger man’s body against the wall to keep from being parted from golden flesh. In the back of his mind, Vegeta was amazed at just how sensitive his mate could be. Now he felt the urge to show his Karo just how many different ways pleasure could be achieved. The prince ran the flat of his tongue over the bud feeling it stiffen in his mouth. Once it stopped growing, Vegeta started to suck, and Goku let out a cry as his hands fisted in black spikes. He simultaneously arched his chest away from the feeling and used his arms to pull the alpha closer to his body. Goku felt his body heat even more as the alpha moved slowly to the other nipple. One of his hands released black to move down a muscled back leaving raised welts as his nails raked over bronzed skin. The feeling had the dominant growling in arousal, and he had to push the feeling down before he just buried himself inside the beta and took his own pleasure. It was so difficult to do, but Vegeta wanted to give pleasure before he took it. “Vegeta…!” The younger saiyan moaned his mate's name as he was distracted by the assault on his chest. He clutched at the alpha, and the hands slipping underneath his thighs unnoticed. “Please! Ah! More….I want more! I nee-!” The words were cut off as the dominant lifted Goku's body up so that he was forced to loosen his legs. Vegeta maneuvered the other so the beta's legs were over his shoulders and the alpha’s face was level with slightly defined abdominal muscles. The submissive's hands flew to Vegeta's hair that had lost its shape under the water. His face burned as he processed the situation, and he shifted in a mixture of embarrassment and need. He looked down at his mate with a confused expression on his face only to see the prince give him a wicked smile. The alpha was pleased to see the flush of arousal that colored the younger man's cheeks and nose bridge. He ran both his thumbs over the skin on Goku's hips to help ease that nervousness he could see in the submissive's eyes. Without looking from the other’s eyes, the prince leaned forward to start sucking a mark just above the naval. “Ahhhh!” Goku cried out as his body arched forward at the surprisingly wonderful sensation. His black tail slung water around the stall as it lashed until it wrapped around the dominant's torso. As he moved, it forced Vegeta to stop sucking up a mark, and he let out a growl. Sharp teeth nipped along whatever skin he could reach with the beta's body curling around his head. Every now and then, blood would bloom on Goku's skin from a sharp nip, but the submissive didn't seem to mind and the blood was quickly washed away by the water. Vegeta shifted around, so he was holding his mate up with one arm and his body, and the prince slid a hand up to rest along the younger saiyan's side to prevent him from curling too much. He wanted to work without being impeded as he moved his way down the six pack to his goal. The alpha’s cheek came into contact with the hot column of flesh as he was nipping and sucking a patch of skin close to the crease of Goku's left leg. He slowly moved his head up and down against the flesh making a moan come from the panting man above him. He smirked as he moved to run his closed lips over the silk covered steel. Goku tightened his fingers in the wet black strands as a tongue ran up the full length of his shaft. The beta crossed his legs behind Vegeta's head and used them to try and pull the other closer to him. He squeezed his eyes shut once he felt the wet muscle run over the tip of his erection. The alpha growled at the taste of his mate, and he shifted to gently nibble on the head, careful of his sharp teeth. The fluid coming from the length in front of him increased, and he moved to take the head back in his mouth. The prince's lips twitched as they tried to form a smirk as he slowly sucked. The beta shivered as a hot wetness surrounded him, and he mewled breathlessly as his cock was slowly explored. He squirmed on the wall when Vegeta swallowed his whole length. The older man’s cheeks hollowed suddenly, and Goku screamed at the increase of suction. He felt his inner saiyan growl in approval when he felt the legs trembling around his head, and his eyes greedily watched as the submissive thrashed his head. The prince tightened his hold on his mate as writhed in his arms. The fluid was coming in an almost steady stream now, and Vegeta groaned as he swallowed the addictive taste down. The sensation of the throat muscles contracted had his mate arching, but he couldn't push the alpha away. The older saiyan could tell his Karo was getting closer to the edge, and he wanted to push him beyond and savor his reward. “Geta!” Goku could feel it pooling in his lower belly, and he pulled on the hair in his hands to pull the other off of him. However, the prince refused to move, and he redoubled his efforts to make the beta spill. The pleasure he was experiencing was almost indescribable. Vegeta groaned as the fingers twisted in his hair, pulling sharply on his scalp, and the vibrations of his vocal cords traveled up the flesh in his mouth. His hair was yanked on in response, and a wicked idea came to the former planet purger. He hummed around his mouthful as he slowly moved his way down until his nose brushed against the base. Once he was all the way down, Vegeta lifted his eyes to watch the beta’s face. A flush on the younger man's face was beautiful, and his head was thrown back with his eyes shut. His lower lip was between his teeth and small drops of blood were beading around Goku's fangs. Seeing the image above him had a purr building in his chest, and he couldn't stop it from coming even if he had the will to. As soon as it rumbled out, the submissive let out a loud cry feeling pleasure all the way in his bones. “GETAAAAAA!” His mouth was flooded with the beta's come, and Vegeta pulled back to catch the flavor before he gobbled it down. The salty sweet taste had him gripping his mate's hips in his hands as he tried to pulled the other closer. He wanted more. Goku whined as he became even more sensitive the longer the prince sucked, licked, and chased every drop of seed. He pulled on the hair still in his hands to get the other to stop, and he was given a glare. The alpha didn't want to release his prize until he saw the look on his mate's face. His eyes softened as he slowly let up on the pressure of his suction. He pulled away to allow the softening member to slide out of his mouth. As soon as he was free, Goku let out a sigh that was relief mixed with disappointment. The prince chuckled at the reaction as he moved to set the submissive on his feet. The beta leaned against him as Vegeta held him up as his body trembled from the sensory overload. Goku clutched at his shoulders as he tried to get his shaky legs to work once more. “You…you’re gonna be the death of me at this rate.” Goku said breathlessly before giving his mate a small nuzzle. His mate just chuckled before he cut the water off and dried them both with a quick burst of ki. The beta purred as he was gathered and carried to their nest before curling up against Vegeta. The saiyan prince remained smug as Goku continued to purr and nuzzle him with a relaxed air. His tail swayed contently before eventually settling around Kakarot’s waist. The submissive was lazily enjoying the furs against his naked skin and the heat of his mate behind him. Seeing the chill in the night air was going to be an issue, the alpha lit the fireplace with a burst of ki. The flames crackled and emitted a soft golden light that seem to enhance the honey color of Goku's skin much to the dominant's delight. He ran his fingers along the shoulder and side where the shadows started to mix in with the light dancing on the younger saiyan's body. The sensation of his mate's fingers tracing on his skin lulled the beta into an even more tired state. He shifted in the nest to tuck his head under the alpha's chin and curled up like a cat along Vegeta's side. He hummed a bit in contentment before his purring started up once more. “Seriously, Geta, I think you gave me a zenkai.” Goku finally said tiredly, and he could feel the chest under him vibrate with the prince's amusement. “That’s twice in a few hours.” “I didn’t hear you complaining.” Vegeta chuckled as he carded his hand through the beta’s thick mane. “You’ll get more stamina eventually.” The beta was torn on being offended or looking forward to what his mate had suggested. Fortunately, a yawn helped to end the dilemma before he could smack the alpha. As he drifted off into an exhausted sleep, he felt a fur being pulled over the two and a kiss on the top of his head. FLASHBACK END Goku felt his face burning, but he tried to push down his embarrassment and focus on his meal instead the memory of last night. The beta stabbed a piece of boar with more energy than it needed, and he was quick to check that he didn't damage anything before eating. As much as he enjoyed the night, it still made him slightly self-conscious. Feeling like he did when Vegeta was loving him was completely different to any other time he had sex. With Chichi, it felt all right, more-so in the beginning of their marriage; but there was always something missing. Something that she just couldn't give him, something that Vegeta had. The alpha took his time with him, and he made Goku feel loved when they were together. It was something he never thought would happen despite knowing just how much Vegeta loves him. He didn’t think of sex as anything more than making cubs and had never expected to find enjoyment in the act. All of this was confusing to the submissive because of his past. It had hurt, left him scared and weak. But it hadn’t been that way with Vegeta, his alpha made sure he wasn’t hurt or afraid. His cheeks became red once more as he remembered the tender touches, searing kisses, adoring words whispered in his ear, and the pleasure that made stars shine behind his eyes. How could he enjoy this when it gave him so much pain before? His thoughts distracted him so much, that he didn't realize that he was pushing his half full plate of food around. His brow furrowed as his eyes glared unseeingly at the food. Vegeta paused with a fork full of eggs half way to his mouth once he noticed that Kakarot hadn't eaten a bite for the past ten minutes. He slowly lowered his utensil as he studied his mate. “Karo?” The sound of his name startled him and his head snapping up with a partial snarl on his face before it was smoothed away by one of embarrassment. Seeing the glint of fangs caused something in the alpha to growl, but he kept the sound inside. “Is everything alright? You're not eating.” “I'm fine.” Goku said as his eyes looked back down at the plate before he pushed it away with a faint expression of disinterest. “I'm just not hungry anymore.” “What…?” When was his Karo ever not hungry at mealtimes? He leaned forward to try and get a better look at his mate, and the cinnamon scent that the beta usually gave off slammed into Vegeta. His eyes widened once he realized that the scent was sweeter than it was supposed to be, and a growl left him without his knowledge. “Vegeta, what’s wrong?” Goku asked concerned. His mate stood and pushed the table aside so he could get closer to him. Vegeta scented the beta again and took in the warmth of his skin along with the light flush beginning to show on his face. “Karo, you’re having a pre-heat.” The alpha said stepping back to sit on the table in front of the beta. He could feel his own body beginning to react as an uncomfortable itch settled under his skin as he smelled that sweet scent. At least this was nothing compared to when Kakarot was pregnant otherwise he wouldn’t be able to explain. Flashback “So you’re saying that once Karo is healed our bond will reassert itself because we were separated.” Vegeta clarified. Bardock nodded. “In light of the fact most of the issues between you two stem from you not knowing much about mating bonds I thought it best to warn you.” The older man said as he stared into the fire pit while swirling his drink in his glass. “I wouldn’t expect anyone to have told you about this because most mated pairs weren’t close enough for it to matter. With you two it’s a true mating bond, like what I had with Gine. When I was gone off world for long periods of time Gine would have sort of a pre-heat after I got back and we were both healthy.” “Karo can’t handle being pregnant right now. I’m not even sure he could cope with a heat just now either.” “It’s not a full heat, he won’t get pregnant.” Bardock growled getting uncomfortable discussing his son’s sex life. “You’ll just have the urge to mate with him again and possibly renew your bond through biting. The biting may or may not happen….it didn’t always with Gine and I.” The older alpha glanced at the prince for a moment with narrowed eyes. There was a worried expression on Vegeta's face that helped ease Bardock's mind. To see the care the younger saiyan possessed for the beta reassured the other that Kakarot’s choice in a mate was a good one. “Don't worry, princeling. It won't be like Kakarot's first heat. He'll experience a more mild set of symptoms like raised body temperature, his scent becoming sweeter, and a lack of appetite. Neither of you will be overwhelmed by pheromones so you should keep a level head. If this does happen, make sure you explain this to him. Like you said, Kakarot can't handle a true heat right now. He needs to heal more.” Bardock glared at the prince as he saw him nod in response. The intense look nearly made Vegeta take a step back from the taller man. He downed the rest of his drink before he stood up and walked by the younger alpha. “Take care of him, Vegeta.” END Vegeta shuddered at the look his father in law gave him that night, but he didn't need anyone to tell him to look after his mate. He would rather pull his own tail off than neglect his Karo. “Heat…?” Goku's words sounded a little breathless as he tried to understand the dominant's words. A panicky feeling was building in his chest at the thought of going into another heat. “But…Gito’s not…And I-!” “Pre-heat, Karo.” The alpha soothed as he leaned forward to cup the beta's cheek. “From what your father told me, it's nothing like a true heat. You won't get pregnant from this, it's just our bond trying to reassert itself after everything we've been through. Relax.” While Vegeta’s words did help some, Goku still felt anxious. He could feel his body warming up in a pleasing yet slightly uncomfortable way. He squirmed in his chair very much aware of his alpha's burning gaze on him, and he had to lower his eyes in fear of being set ablaze. Seeing the saiyan prince look at him like that was unnerving yet exhilarating. He was torn from wanting to hide from those eyes and stretch his body out naked to display for his mate. The urge to strip himself of any bit of clothing shocked and frightened him. He had never felt such a slutty urge like this before. What was happening? Sex from something like this should only be to make cubs, so what was going on? How did the mating bond between them have so much control over his body, and how could he prevent this from happening? True he wanted to be closer to his mate, but was this really necessary? A rush of warmth rolled under his skin, and the submissive bit his lower lip to keep the groan from coming out. Unfortunately, he could not stop the shiver that ran through him or the sudden increase in the sweetness of his scent. The beta wanted to run from his mates intense gaze. The growl above him was Goku's only warning before Vegeta pounced on him. The force of it caused the pair to fall out of the chair and tumble on the floor. Vegeta and he rolled until the alpha pinned the beta sitting on his back holding his wrists beside his head to keep him from moving. “Geta, stop, please.” Goku pled struggling against his mate’s grip. His heart sped up in fear as he could feel his body responding to things. “I’m not…I can’t do this!” “Shh, calm down, marama.” Vegeta soothed nuzzling the back of his neck. “Just relax, love.” “Why is this happening?” The beta asked trembling under Vegeta’s iron hold. “I…why is this making me want things I never have?” “Tell me, love.” Vegeta purred into his ear, his tail softly sweeping the air to spread his scent in an effort to calm his mate. He wanted to help Karo accept this and keep him from resisting his body’s urges. It wouldn’t be healthy for Karo in the long run if he allowed the beta to ignore his instincts and allow his trepidation about intimacy rule him. “Let me help.” “I don’t….why is my body making me want sex, Geta? Heats are supposed to be for making cubs. I know we…” Kakarot blushed fiercely. “It’s different with you, but I keep remembering all the other times and how it was used to hurt me. I-I’m confused….” Vegeta purred and sat back pulling the beta into his lap seeing how upset his mate was. “It’s alright, love. What was done to you was wrong. Let me finish.” Vegeta said with a soft growl sensing Kakarot was about to interrupt. “I don’t know much about human conventions or norms, I honestly didn’t care about them even when I was with Bulma, but even for them it is ok to want to have sex with your partner just to enjoy it, mate in our case. There is nothing wrong or dirty about it, love. Saiyans are a very tactile race, we thrive on touch, it’s in our nature. So your instincts are telling you what you need. Sex is meant to be enjoyed between mates, marama, it doesn’t have to be just to make cubs. Do you know how mating bonds are actually formed?” Goku squirmed uncomfortably. “We bit each other.” “True, but it only works if it was done while mating.” Vegeta softly explained. “When you bit me, you were completing the bond I started when you were in your heat. Sex is considered symbolic of two people becoming one. That’s why the initial bite has to happen then. The way I understand it this pre-heat it sort of a…re joining. It is healing in a way.” “Healing?” “I was going out of my mind without you, Kakarot.” Vegeta confessed holding him tighter. “I felt like I had a literal hole in my chest. The boys were the only thing that could calm me down and ease that pain even a little. All I could think about was having you back in my arms and safe again. It’s calming when I touch you, when I breathe in your smell and know you’re alright. I feel powerful, more than I’ve ever been when I make you scream my name from pleasure, and pleased knowing I make you feel good. That is how sex should be, marama. You should feel amazing, loved and protected.” “I do with you.” Goku admit with a shiver as he felt his mate’s breath on his neck. That wonderful scent of cloves was making him feel warmer. “But I’m not….I don’t know how to handle these urges.” “Just relax and let them happen, love. See if you like them. Listen to your instincts and what they are telling you. Most of them are probably natural and even normal to do with your mate. I promise, I will do whatever you ask me to. If you want to try something and end up not liking it, we wont do it again. But you can’t fight your body about this, love. I don’t want you to hurt yourself resisting your heats. You’ll get sick, and it will get worse before you eventually snap and give in and mate anyways. I promised you I’d never hurt you, love, do you trust me?” “I do.” Goku said a moment later leaning back into Vegeta’s embrace. “I’m going to show you something new, love.” He purred pushing Karo back down and pinning him to the floor face down. His nose brushed the back of his mate’s neck drawing a shiver from the beta as a low aroused growl escaped Vegeta’s throat. His chestnut tail swept the air flooding it with his scent. Kakarot was squirming under him from the smell and nerves. Goku whined as his body began to burn uncomfortably. It was Vegeta’s scent that was doing it, and it was wrapped around him like a blanket blocking out anything else he could smell. He wanted to move, rub himself against something to ease the burning itch under his skin but his mate held him still. Vegeta purred and simply scented Kakarot enjoying the wonderful smell of his mate. He was going to go slow for now until Karo was calm and relaxed. He meant what he told the beta, he would never hurt Karo and the last thing he wanted was for his beloved to fear him or being intimate. The beta moaned as his hips shifted and his tail twined with Vegeta’s. A smirk formed on Vegeta’s lips as he rubbed Kakarot’s tail with his own and gently blew across Karo’s mark. He wanted to drive his mate over the edge and make the beta tell him exactly what he wanted the alpha to do. “Ah!” Goku gasped and shuddered at the feeling of fur brushing against fur. It felt so good….He tried to arch his back to feel more of his mate's heat on his back, but the dominant had him too stretched out for him to do that. The submissive was pinned on the floor of the dinning room flat on his belly with Vegeta straddling his thighs and his arms held down by the prince's hands at his wrists. He could feel the soft fabric of the robe covering his mate's body on the bare skin of his back and shoulders. Normally, he wouldn't mind it, but the fabric on both his and Vegeta's body was irritating. Goku let out an annoyed growl as he tried to wiggle his hips to get his pants off. When the pants remained in place, he let out a frustrated whine making the alpha smirk as he slowly licked the back of the submissive's neck. The skin under the prince's mouth was warm and tasted sweet. His chest rumbled with a deep purr as he nuzzled the shoulder that had his mark, loving the satiny texture of golden flesh and the softness of black spikes. Vegeta pressed a kiss to the bond bite, and he couldn't help but give it a sharp nip. This made his mate strain to arch up with a cry. “Is there something you need, Kakarot?” The dominant asked as he slowly moved his head up Goku's neck. His lips were just barely touching the shell of his ear, and the heat of the alpha's breath had the submissive shuddering. “You can tell me. What do you want?” The beta's eyes widened at the way Vegeta's voice seem to ooze over him like melted chocolate. It made his blood burn under his skin, and he tried to pull his hands free from the strong grip the older saiyan had on him to no avail. “Ah…off! Take it off!” Goku whined out with another wiggle of his hips as he moved their tails to pull at both the pants and robe. “Please…take it off!” "You want me to take off my robe? Is that what you want, marama?" Vegeta purred into his ear as his tail squeezed against his mate's while he hovered just above the beta's skin allowing the soft fabric to brush Kakarot’s back. A low moan was all the submissive could get out as he panted and squirmed under him. "I'm waiting, love, do you want me to strip?" "Yes!" The beta finally half cried half moaned. "Please take it off!" "As you wish, love. But just so you don't move..." He bit down on their bond bite without further warning drawing a pleasured scream from his mate. The familiar sensation of his limbs going limp startled the beta, but he could do nothing about it as endorphins flooded his brain. Slowly almost teasingly Vegeta pealed away the fabric of the robe, letting it brush across Goku's back drawing almost maddening whimpers from him. Black eyes took in the tremors in his mate's body as he leaned back over Kakarot but didn’t touch him. The beta whined in frustration at how close the heat and skin he wanted to feel was. His pants were getting more irritating by the second, and he couldn't do anything about it! Feather soft touches on his rear drew a pleasured moan as his hips trembled in a weak thrust trying to move up into the touch that felt so good before it stopped. "Does that feel good, Karo?" Vegeta purred leaning down to his ear as their tails brushed each other. "Are these pants bothering you? Or shall I leave them on?" "NO! Please..need...off, take them off!" They were ripped away immediately and Goku sighed in relief at the disappearance of the itch they caused. The alpha sat in his former position and held his wrists down once again seeing his mate was recovering his ability to move again. There was a disappointed whine from the beta as he struggled to touch that heat above him. "Tell me what you want, marama." Vegeta whispered in his other ear, his breath ghosting over the back of his neck while the chestnut tail swept a fresh wave of scent over him. He could feel the beta trembling under him, and he smirked as he brushed his mouth over the nape of Goku's neck. "Need...need....touch you. Please, Geta." A bright red flush stained his face as the scent of cloves and musk started to dull his awareness slightly. The submissive strained his head and managed to feel a brush of skin before it was gone. Vegeta watched as the flush started to creep down his mate's neck and shoulders. He slowly moved so that his chest covered Goku's back, and he rested his head on the unblemished shoulder. The alpha purred as he shifted so he could cover the younger saiyan like a living blanket. Goku let out a loud mewl as he finally felt the warm skin of his alpha. He seemed to melt into the floor as the heat from the body above him helped to sooth the burning inside of him. The submissive managed to pull his tail from between their bodies and wrapped it around the prince's waist to keep him from moving away. “More…,” the beta breathlessly ordered. “I…want…your hands on me.” Goku’s face burned with that admission, and he was shocked that it came from his mouth. The scent in the air was helping to lower his inhibitions. “Karo, they are on you.” The dominant flexed his hands from where they held his mate down. He was pleased that the beta was telling him what he wanted, but he still felt the need to tease his mate just a bit. Before he could add more, a surprisingly loud snarl came from under him. “I want them to touch me all over!” Goku snapped as he turned his head to the side so he could glare up at his mate. He started to pull with real strength to get his arms loose if Vegeta wasn't going to do what he wanted. His black tail had released Vegeta’s waist and lashed furiously as it fluffed up to twice its size actually hitting the alpha with stinging blows. The older man pulled back in surprise over the submissive's reaction, and he had to use greater strength to keep him from moving. He didn’t expect his mate to start fighting him. Thinking quickly, the alpha flared his ki and swept his scent heavily in the air to calm the agitated beta. Goku growled and fought to get loose leading Vegeta to start giving attention to his bite. Soft kisses and nips to that sensitive area calmed Kakarot quick enough. A disappointed whine drew his attention away from the mark. “Geta…please touch me. Need you…” the beta begged desperately. “Alright, love. Although, I still don't want you to move.” Vegeta gave a smile that showed the tips of his fangs as he slid up the younger saiyan's back. With some effort, the prince managed to gather both of Goku's wrists in one hand and used the other to trail down the beta's spine. Goku let out a moan as he managed to slightly arch his back like a cat would until he felt that hand stop at the base of his tail. His eyes had drifted shut so he missed the wicked smirk that grew on the other’s face. With a flex of his thumb, index, and middle fingers, Vegeta conjured up a small ki ring and allowed it to snap on at the base of Goku's tail. “Gahhh!” Goku cried out. “W-what did you d-do?!” Something was tingling at the base of his tail, just shy of actually vibrating. It was like a continual static shock that he couldn’t decide if it felt good or was going to drive him insane. He realized he couldn’t move. Vegeta’s hands rubbed at his back and down above the swell of his rear as Goku’s breathing sped up in his initial panic. “Shhh. Calm down, Karo. You trust me, right? This won’t hurt you, love. Just relax.” Vegeta soothed laying atop him like a blanket yet again and nuzzling into his neck. “I’m trying to show you that you can ask me anything. I don’t want you to move and try doing things yourself yet. Trust me to take care of you, Karo.” The beta mewled and nodded a moment later unable to verbalize his trust. Too many sensations were driving him crazy and that burning in his blood still hadn’t calmed down. “Now…” Vegeta smirked as he cupped his mate’s ass and rubbed it before he rubbed their hips together drawing a strangled groan from his helpless mate. “You asked me to touch you all over. Should I start here?” His hand returned to his mate’s ass as he absently traced circles with his finger. “Or here?” His hand sank into Kakarot’s mane and lightly scratched, just enough to turn his mate back into a puddle. “Or do you want me to touch here?” Feather soft touches drew mewling cries from the beta as Vegeta caressed his hips on either side while pressing his length against Karo’s cheeks. “Anaana…” Goku was in tears between the touches and the buzzing at the base of his tail. “I can touch you here too.” Kalious, his mate shouldn’t have a voice that sounds that sexy. He trembled and sweated as his mate turned his attention to the erratically twitching black limb. Vegeta watched the tail for a moment before reaching out to gently grasp it in his hand. He rubbed his other hand over the hip it still held when the beta's breath hitched. The alpha hummed a little as he brought the limb up to his face to rub it against his cheek. He allowed a brief moment of distraction as he felt the softness of black fur under his fingers and on his cheek before he turned his head to lick up from the halfway point to the tip. “AHHHH!” Goku's eyes were open wide as he shuddered from the sensation. He managed to bring his arms closer to his body with his hands clenched in fists before he once again became a boneless pile of shivering saiyan. The prince squeezed the submissive's left hip before he let it go so he could have both hands available to explore the other's tail. The fur had fluffed up again, and Vegeta enclosed his hand around the limb at the base then slowly pulled his arm towards him to help smooth the fur down. He did this a couple of times to get his mate use to his touch. Once he saw Kakarot's eyes become half lidded, he threaded the tail through his hands once again only this time the tips of his nails from both hands lightly scratched along the thin flesh hidden under the fur. He was rewarded with a loud shriek from the younger man and was slightly surprised when the body under him arched his back to try and get away from those hands. “Shhh, marama. You’ll feel good in a second.” Vegeta hushed the other as he bent down to sooth the scratched with more licks of his tongue. The alpha ran his tongue in the opposite direction of how the black fur laid so he could get better access to the scratched skin before smoothing it down once again. Once he got to the tip of the tail, the prince lightly closed his teeth around it. The beta seemed to stop breathing as soon as he felt the sharp point of one of Vegeta's fangs on the spot where the last vertebra was in his tail. Seeing the predicament that his mate was in, the dominant massaged the base of the tail just above the ki ring, and Goku's body shuddered with a keening cry. Vegeta tried to smirk around his mouthful and moved so he could nibble on that spot. He purred as he moved the furry limb in and out of his mouth leaving a few stinging nips before soothing the pain with the heat of his mouth. “Ge….please!” Goku keened unable to actually articulate words beyond please. It was too much. He couldn’t think as the sensations grew too much for the beta. His member throbbed painfully as it was pressed under him by his mate’s weight. “Does it feel good, love? Is this what you want? Or should I touch you somewhere else?” The alpha purred rocking his hips into Goku’s drawing another strangled cry of ecstasy from him. “H-h…” The buzzing on his tail robbed him of his breath along with the nibbles Vegeta was providing. He mewled, panting in need whining at the sensory overload that was becoming painful. Taking pity on the beta Vegeta released the limp black tail and knead his mate’s flesh around his tail and hips. “Maybe I can guess? Are you hot?” Warm breath sent shivers down Goku’s already quivering body. The beta whined as those hips rocked into him again before another mewl of need tore from his lips. Vegeta’s chuckle was maddening as the alpha’s tail brushed him. “Or do you like that?” He asked rubbing himself on the beta’s crease before his cock slipped between soft cheeks. Kakarot purred and twitched as his body fought to push back into the touch. He stopped after a moment straining to stop himself from going too far, but he didn't pull away. Karo hadn’t asked for more yet, the beta had to tell him otherwise this wouldn’t work. The desperate moan and weak shifting of his mate’s hips made him smirk. “H-hurts…ple….ana…” Vegeta raised an eyebrow unsure how to interpret that request. “Touch…m-me!” His tail fluffed and member twitched at the last two words. The alpha’s grin was feral as his mate weakly shivered beneath him. Grasping Kakarot’s hips he lifted the beta to his knees grinding against his ass once more holding him there. He saw what his beta wanted easily enough as Goku pressed against him as much as possible whimpering in desperation. “Oh that does look painful, love. Should I stroke it, use my tail......my lips?” Vegeta’s hand hovering a hair’s breath from his mate’s need. The prince’s arm was like a band of steel keeping the beta’s hips still while he strained to get the friction his body craved. In the back of his mind, the alpha wondered if he had pushed Kakarot too far and at the same time relishing in the fact he was able to do this to his mate with so little effort. Kakarot was so beautiful…pinned like this, completely at his mercy with no way of overpowering the alpha to get the release he obviously craved. Perhaps he could make a few more rings and keep him like this for the remainder of…. He growled as he fought to control himself. He was the Prince of Saiyans, he would not give into his base instincts and ruin his plans! Kakarot had to end it or this was for nothing….well not entirely at least. The submissive let out a sob that had Vegeta snapping back to the present. The lean body under his own was shaking from the pleasurable torture and tears were streaming down Goku's cheeks. Seeing just how much the submissive was overwhelmed, the older saiyan moved to settle more firmly on the other's back with one hand enclosing the beta's shaft. Goku let out a choked cry before it turned into a scream as the prince stroked the younger male into release just after a few quick tugs. His body shuddered in the aftermath, and the only thing keeping him on his knees was the iron grip Vegeta had on his waist. He whined as his mate kept stroking the sensitive length that had yet to soften, and he tried to curl in on himself to escape from both the hand on his cock and the ring on his tail. “Off…” The word was hoarse after he had screamed, and despite the release, his body still wanted more. “Ring…off. Want…you…need you…now…please.” Vegeta could see the desperation in the beta's eyes, and he moved to nuzzle the side of his mate's face as he finally allowed the ki to vanish from the base of Goku's tail. A weak mewl was all that the younger man gave as the current finally went away, and he could feel some strength returning to his body. It was only now that he was able to register the sudden emptiness within his body, and the desire to be filled was overwhelming. Goku could feel the member trapped between his cheeks throb, and he rocked his hips back onto the alpha with a raspy purr in his throat. He could hear the older saiyan clench his teeth as he arched his neck to rub his cheek against the prince's. “Take me. Please, Ouji.” The dominant let out a deep growl over the words. He moved to grip both of his mate's hands together to keep him from moving once more as he fought to control himself. Smelling the spilled seed and spike in cinnamon from Goku had his control hanging by a thread, and hearing the words he wanted to was almost more than Vegeta could bare. The older man maneuvered their bodies so that Goku was almost sitting on the prince's lap while both were still on their knees. This allowed Vegeta to use both of his arms to grip his mate's wrists as he laid on the younger saiyan's back. The alpha stared to roll his hips, and his cock slid between golden flesh in the submissive's crease. Slick was coating his cock and making everything feel just that more intense. A deep rumble came from Vegeta's chest as the head of his erection rubbed over the hot, little hole. He shifted so on his next glide, he was poised to enter delicious heat. The alpha remained still until he could feel the tight, furrowed bud open like a flower. With a groan, he slowly buried himself inside of Goku's heat. The beta’s mouth fell open as soon as he felt the blunt pressure, but he was too overwhelmed to make a sound. He shuddered as he sobbed in relief at finally being filled with his alpha's head resting on his marked shoulder. Goku arched his back as soon as he felt Vegeta bottom out, but a growl from the body above him made him still. Once the prince was certain that his mate would remain still, he moved so that he was on his hands and knees, hovering over the younger male. He took in the golden skin below him as he slowly pulled out before pushing back in. He wanted to see just how well the beta could take him. Even in the thrall of his instinctual mind, Vegeta refused to harm his mate. When all he got were sighs and mewls of delight, Vegeta let out another growl as he started to speed up and intensify his thrusts. Soon he was pounding Goku into the floor with deep movements making the sound of flesh hitting flesh fill the room. The submissive let out a cry once he felt his sweet spot being battered. He tried to claw at the floor, but Vegeta just held down his wrists with a tight grip. He pulled his arms as he turned his head and managed to break free. Goku pulled his arms down do he could push off the floor with his arms, but a snarl from above, and a nip to his bond bite had him placid before he could do so. All he managed to do was get up on his elbows, that took every last bit of effort to remain on, then Vegeta was caging him in with firm grips on his wrists as he increased the pace of his hips. The alpha snarled again as soon as he was finished in fully restraining the beta. Vegeta's fangs flashed as he bit the mark Goku's neck and gave the younger saiyan a slight shake. This had the submissive whimpering as he froze and just took whatever the prince was willing to give him. The dominant could feel that neither he nor his mate would last very long with this coupling and the thrusts sped up to almost mind numbing. Vegeta had finally lost all semblance of control, and he lost any rhythm. His deep and power thrusts were becoming shorter, but they still jabbed against the beta's prostate. Both saiyans could feel their climax just beyond reach, and Goku started to sob as it remained that way. The beta whined, he needed something to push him over the edge and his length ached to be touched. He yanked on one of his arms so he could stroke himself, but the prince would have none of that. His hands tightened their hold on his wrists making sure that bruises would be left from this mating. When the beta pulled again, Vegeta let out a loud growl and bit down harder on the bond bite making blood flood into his mouth. That sudden spark of pain mixed in with euphoria was enough to roughly shove Goku over the edge without a single touch to his cock. Goku's eyes clenched shut as his mouth fell open in a silent scream. With the older saiyan's teeth firmly embedded in his skin, he was paralyzed. The only thing he could do was ride out the storm with Vegeta still thrusting away into him. The prince moaned at the spicy taste that bloomed over his tongue. He swallowed a mouthful as he gave a few more sharp thrusts into the clinching heat before spilling his seed into his mate's channel. Another muffled groan came out of him, and he ground their hips together so every drop would stay within his Karo. Goku whined softly, panting heavily from all the exertion. His body went limp beneath the alpha before he softly purred feeling the burn in his blood fade a bit. Vegeta gently released his mate’s mark and proceeded to lick it tenderly with a deep rumble emanating from his chest. His body settled heavily atop his beta and he covered him as much as possible while setting them on the floor. Once all the blood was gone Vegeta nuzzled into Kakarot’s hair with a soft possessive growl as his tail wrapped firmly around his submissive’s waist. Goku mewled quietly as Vegeta shifted their hips before hesitantly rubbing his head against his prince, unsure if he was allowed to move now. The tender lick to his mark and satisfied rumble from the alpha drew a loud content sigh from his mate. The black tail wrapped tightly around the prince’s thigh as it fluffed in happiness. “Mine.” Vegeta growled possessively as he purred and nuzzled Goku’s neck. He kept the beta firmly under him as his instincts demanded. Kakarot simply let him, he felt content and pleased with his alpha. He felt safe and loved. “Ana…” the beta purred happily before he mewed again as their hips shifted. His skin was so sensitive he couldn’t help it. Vegeta softly growled and nuzzled his mate again to calm the beta’s trembling aftershocks. As they slowly came back to themselves Vegeta realized the floor of the dinning room was not an appropriate place for his mate to be. Placing a soft kiss on the beta’s neck he finally pulled out of his mate drawing a disappointed whimper from him. The alpha’s ego was stroked when his mate whined and tried to follow him not wanting to break contact. He purred and wrapped his mate in his arms and moved them to the fur rug by the living room fireplace before they spooned in front of the flames. Karo was purring contently while Vegeta continued to give attention to the fresh bite mark and then the bruises left behind on the beta’s wrists. He hadn’t meant to be so rough with Karo. The brushing of Kakarot’s tail on his own as they wound together with Karo laying utterly relaxed in his arms quickly drove away his guilt as exhaustion over came them both. Reaching behind him on the couch the alpha grabbed one of many blankets and a pillow, which he placed under Karo’s head before covering them both. Sunlight unexpectedly woke him up. Vegeta glanced about with one eye and noticed it was almost noon. He ignored everything around them in favor of his still sleeping mate. Karo was buried in his chest and purring softly as his chest rose and fell. The alpha gave a soft smile and basked watching his mate, his marama. He purred loudly and breathed his mate’s scent. The extra sweetness was still there but…muted a bit. Apparently their coupling had eased Karo’s heat enough his symptoms were letting him rest. Dark eyes trailed down to the empty expanse of Kakarot’s back. The scars were all really gone, not faded to where they were unseen but completely gone as if they were never there. His fingers absently traced the path of what had been the deepest of them taking in the smooth unblemished skin. Times like this, where he could watch Karo sleep…he wondered how he could love someone so much. He couldn’t imagine not having Karo at his side, even thinking of that possibility made him cold. The prince banished that line of thought with a shake of his head before breathing deep of his mate’s scent. He sneezed to get the stale scent of sweat and sex from his nostrils. That needed to be dealt with…..as well as what was left of their breakfast on both the table and dinning room floor apparently judging from what he could smell. Everything had gone cold, or warm in case of the juice. Karo could sleep while he dealt with that. Arms tightened around the alpha’s waist as he tried to sit up. Karo was clinging worse than a limpet….he thought that was the phrase Bulma used in reference to their son as a toddler anyways. “Karo, I’m just going to clean up. I won’t be far, love.” His fingers carded through the thick mane in an attempt to relax him. “Nuh…uhh.” Dark eyes rolled a bit at his mate’s childish behavior. “Karo…” “Smell good….and warm.” And with that the black tail wrapped around his waist. Vegeta wanted to face palm. His mate had apparently reverted to his nesting instincts again. “At least he’s not threatening to castrate me this time.” He muttered to himself as the beta’s breathing evened out again. Feeling playful the alpha leaned in and licked the shell of Goku’s ear. His mate squealed and bolted up pawing at the saliva he’d purposefully left behind. “Geeetaaa, that’s gross!” “You wouldn’t let go.” The alpha smirked in amusement before kissing him as he rose to his feet. Goku realizing they were still naked eeped and covered himself with the blanket. “No point in being shy about your body, love, not like I haven’t seen every inch of you.” “Ugh, what is that smell?” Goku voiced following Vegeta into the kitchen wrapping the blanked around himself anyways. He still didn’t like being unclothed but was not unappreciative of the nice view Geta was giving him. It made that warm heat creep in again. “Aftermath of our coupling….multiple times given this morning wasn’t the first.” Vegeta said calmly as he started putting away the food smirking at his mate’s blush. “I tried to let you sleep while I took care of it.” “I…I just really want to touch you.” Goku replied, a pink blush covering his face. “It feels good, kinda like when I was pregnant.” “I’m honestly not surprised. Just let me clean things up and we’ll cuddle all you want, love. Your heat is still going by the smell of it. You can go ahead to the hot spring if you like, get that bath you wanted earlier.” Vegeta said giving him a soft nuzzle and kiss before continuing to put away the food while taking bites here and there. Just because Kakarot wasn’t hungry didn’t mean that sex didn’t make him hungry. Goku bit his lip unsure while glancing at the hot spring door. He really wanted a bath but at the same time being that far from his alpha was bothering him. “Karo, I promise I’m not going anywhere, love. Go relax, I be in there in a moment….Unless you want another round in here before you bathe?” The prince stifled a laugh as Goku bolted into the hot spring room. +++KV+++ A loud sigh left Goku as he sank down to his neck in the warm water. Vegeta had been right this felt amazing to his sore muscles. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt this relaxed. He still felt hot despite the cold water he’d rinsed with before entering the spring like he was supposed to. He could feel that itch starting to sink back in but it was slow, almost lazy right now. Vegeta sat down in the hot water with a pleasured groan distracting him. The alpha was washing himself like Kakarot had done moments earlier, using one of several sponges. Goku gulped watching the warm water glide over Vegeta’s tan skin. That burn was coming back even harder now. He wanted to taste that skin much to his embarrassment and couldn’t help but lick his lips. Vegeta smelled that sudden sweet spike in Kakarot’s scent and knew the younger's reprieve was over for now. Those dark eyes watching his every move were already working on his own instincts. Despite the desire he could obviously smell from the beta, his mate still wasn’t coming over to him. It then occurred to him, Kakarot had never instigated something unless they were already cuddling or touching. “Come here, Karo.” Vegeta said softly, using his voice to elicit a response from his mate. The shiver that ran through the beta’s body and further spike in scent told him the low growl in his words had worked. Almost shyly the beta moved until he was standing in front of his alpha. Vegeta gently caressed his mate’s hips before pulling him to straddle his lap, the water stopping at their waists were they sat and kneeled on the bench. “Do you want to touch me, love?” Goku felt his face burn as his hands came to rest on the prince's shoulders to help keep his balance. He shifted as he looked away from the intense gaze of the older man, not answering the question. Dark eyes fell on a small drop of water that was resting on Vegeta’s collarbone. It slowly slipped down following the line of the bone. The trail it left beckoned the younger saiyan to follow it down the tanned skin. His hands tightened on the shoulders they held and the beta seemed to shrink in on himself a little while biting his lip. “Marama,” Vegeta purred as he rubbed his hands down the thighs on either side of his waist in an effort to help the other relax. “It's alright, love. Relax.” The dominant lifted one of his hands to gently take ahold of Goku's right arm. He guided the hand so it was resting on his chest with the palm spread as wide as it could go. He allowed his purr to deepen as he let go to rest both of his arms on the edge of the spring. The beta could feel his skin tingle as his hand rested over his mate's heart. He focused on the strong thumping and moved his eyes from the water to look at the prince's face. Seeing the encouraging expression there, he slowly moved his fingers over the large pectoral muscle. His own purr built in his chest and he brought his other hand up to touch the other muscle. The skin was warm and satiny under his fingers. It felt so good. Kakarot purred and rubbed more firmly against that skin. His fingers followed the dips and valleys both above and below the water line. The submissive could feel the strength hidden under tanned skin. Goku always knew that Vegeta was strong, and it made him feel a little lightheaded at the thought that an alpha with that much power belonged to him. His purr deepened as his hands swept up over the older man’s chest. Vegeta growled softly in arousal as his mate explored his chest before he leaned forward and claimed Goku’s mouth in a kiss. He was enjoying letting the beta explore, and he knew that he would have to do this again when the other wasn't under the influence of a preheat. The submissive followed him as he leaned back and rubbed his chest against Vegeta’s with a content sigh. His nose brushed the alpha’s shoulder giving him a heavy dose of that intoxicating spicy clove scent. He shivered with a whine before breathing deep again needing more of that scent. Goku didn’t know but his pupils were blown as the scent and pheromones took hold of the beta. “That’s right, Karo. Feels good.” Vegeta purred sliding his hands down to Kakarot’s hips to help hold the beta steady and encourage him to keep going. The beta’s hands slid down to rest on his mate’s abs as he finally licked at the dark skin that had been beckoning him. The satisfied rumble from his alpha’s chest encouraged him to continue. He reached his bite mark and began licking it repeatedly. Goku in his hazy mind remembered just how good it felt. It must have a similar effect on his mate. He needed more though, just licking that skin wasn’t enough. Pressing closer the beta gently scraped his teeth over the scar and was rewarded with a soft growl and Vegeta shifting his head to the side to give him more room. Goku attacked that spot with licks and soft nips losing himself in the warm haze surrounding his mind. The smell of cloves was overwhelming, and he couldn’t get enough of it as he buried his nose in the alpha’s skin between licks and nips. Under the skin was a sweeter spice just waiting that the older male’s skin only hinted at and the beta wanted it so badly. Long fangs pierced the sensitized skin and blood flooded into Goku’s mouth as he eagerly swallowed his prize. Vegeta’s loud groan broke whatever spell was on him, startling him enough to release the skin in his mouth and jump away afraid he had done something wrong. Hands grabbed his hips with bruising force keeping him from retreating as their dark eyes met. A low growl from Vegeta commanded the beta to continue as his own white fangs peeked from beneath his lips. With a soft whine Goku looked away from his mate’s smoldering eyes with a blush and resumed tasting his mate’s flesh eager to please his alpha and get more of that wonderful blood. The submissive purred as he licked the crimson fluid not wanting to miss a single drop of it. As the spicy sweet taste burst over his tongue, Goku let out a growl as he moved his hands to grip at the prince's shoulders so he could get closer. The prince purred as the licks over his bond bite sent shudders down his spine. His hands slid up honeyed skin a few times before one buried itself in thick black spikes while the other moved under the water to cup Karo’s rear. He gave the soft mounds a squeeze that made the submissive start to rotate his hips. Dual groans came from the saiyans as this made their lengths rub against each other. Goku had finished cleaning the blood from the prince's shoulder, but he wasn't done with getting more. His mouth closed over the bite mark and sucked on the patch of skin to coax more out of his teeth marks. His efforts were rewarded with a few more drops that made him shiver as he tasted them. He pressed closer to his mate only to be distracted by another sensation. He felt the hard member of the older man against the cheeks of his ass, and that brought another craving that sent his mind reeling. As he buried his face in the crook of Vegeta's neck, the beta wiggled his hips to feel the heavy cock brush against him. He mewled as he felt it wedge into his crease. An unexpected hunger roared within him to feel his alpha take him had Goku pushing harder against Vegeta in an effort to fulfill that need. Vegeta rumbled lowly in his chest before grabbing his mate’s hips to hold him still drawing whimpers from the needy beta. He pacified the beta by claiming his lips with a hungry kiss before his tail brushed Karo’s length. He had every intention of taking the beta but not yet. Karo wasn’t ready. The wet fur made the beta pant as his hips tried to thrust into that sensation, his mate’s length still pressed into his crease and driving him crazy. “Do you want me, Karo? To feel me inside you?” He asked shifting his hips to make the beta mewl. Vegeta found his own eyes rolling back as the temptation to plunge into his mate intensified. Goku found himself about to drown in the heady scent of cloves and couldn’t stop the urge to touch himself. The low moan from those soft lips was one of the sexiest things Vegeta had ever heard in his lifetime. Hips twitched in Vegeta’s hold and both men groaned at the enjoyable sensations. The alpha leaned in and gave Goku’s ear a gentle nip. “Touch yourself for me, marama.” The words were gentle as he rolled their hips. “Can you feel what you do to me?” Kakarot moaned with his head thrown back as Vegeta teased him. The beta slid one hand down from the prince's shoulders over a well defined chest to slip under the water. The tips of his fingers felt over cobblestone abs, and the muscles trembled at his delicate touch. Once the heel of his hand brushed his own arousal, Goku abandoned his trail to wrap his fingers around himself. Vegeta let out a growl at the sight of his mate's face as the submissive bucked his hips forward to drive his cock into his own grip. The blissful look almost had the prince pull back to watch the younger saiyan bring himself to completion, but the rocking motion had his own length demanding to be in a tighter location. He allowed the submissive to play for a moment while trying to reign in his own desire when Karo did something unexpected. Goku pulled on his member as he used his weight to grind back on the firm column of flesh behind him. The emptiness within him was demanding to be filled so he let go of his cock to reach behind him to pull the alpha out from between his cheeks. The body under him jumped, but the beta didn't notice as he shifted his body so that his hole was over the member in his hand. “Karo-!” Vegeta tried to say before he was enveloped in tight heat. He snarled as his mate let out a cry that held satisfaction once the older man was fully seated within his body. His hands gripped the hips they were holding before to keep Goku still so he could adjust to the sudden entrance. “Ah! O…ouji…!” The beta moaned out as he managed a slight wiggle of his hips that made the hands on him grip tighter. The burning in his blood had lessen, but his body still wanted more. His tail whipped behind them sending water drops flying in the air, and he moved his hands to Vegeta's shoulders to anchor himself. “Pl…please!” The word was muffled as Goku buried his face in the crook of his mate's neck. The dominant's hips snapped up before he was fully aware of what he was doing, and the mewling cry that sounded right by his ear had his head falling back as he gave another rough thrust up in that heat. A deep growl rumbled in the prince's chest like a purr as he used his hands to move the beta in time with his thrusting until Karo was riding him. Water started to slosh around and over the saiyans, but neither paid it any mind as they lost themselves in each other. The younger saiyan quickly picked up the rhythm and was soon moving without prompting. It was a different experience that, in his hazed filled mind, Goku was enjoying. The only issue was that he couldn't hit his sweet spot directly, and Vegeta wasn't allowing him to shift the angle of his thrusts. He let out a sob filled with pleasure and frustration as his prostate was only grazed every time the prince drove himself in. The alpha snarled as he felt his submissive try to move in his hold once more, and he nipped at an ear to warn Goku from doing that once again, mindful of the deep hot spring behind his mate. His mind finally registered the whining and sobbing and he realized he wasn't thrusting at the correct angle for his mate's pleasure. His growling purr softened some as he licked the mark in apology while shifting his hips making the beta mewl. On his next thrust, he hit the beta's sweet spot head on. Goku let out a loud wail as his head snapped back in shock at the sudden rush that zapped up his spine and raked his nails over Vegeta's shoulders and upper back. He dropped down harder on the next roll of their hips, and the pleasure had the younger saiyan clawing at his alpha's back in a vain effort to ground himself, but he couldn't get a good grip on the wet skin. His forehead came to rest on Vegeta's shoulder as the pair got closer to release. The alpha hissed as the marks on his back stung before the warm spring soothed them, but he made no move to stop the younger male as he used his hands to stop the submissive from thrusting once again. The whimper of protest was choked off as he began a harsher rhythm while keeping Goku still. He was so close, and he could tell his mate was as well. Vegeta was so focused on chasing his climax that the feeling of fangs driving into his mark made him cry out in surprise. The pleasure of the bite was so great that he followed suit as the channel around him convulsed signaling Goku's release. Karo released the flesh in his mouth to throw his head back as he fell over the edge. He screamed out the prince's name and felt another shudder run through him as liquid heat spilled inside his body. His nails scratched over Vegeta's shoulders until they finally found a hold as he lost himself in another orgasm once the alpha bit him back. The sensation was so great that Goku slumped against the older saiyan as he fell into unconsciousness. The bond between them flared with new life as it was resealed by blood and love. The sudden shock of it knocked the breath out of Vegeta as he pulled out of his mate’s body, and he nearly fell over into the water before managing to catch himself on the edge of the spring. Kalious that had been intense. He smirked at he unconscious mate, they really would have to work on his stamina so this didn’t happen every time he had a heat. Tenderly he brushed Kakarot’s damp bangs to the side and kissed the beta who sighed in his sleep and cuddled closer to him, his nose buried into the prince’s shoulder. Rather than try climbing out of the slippery spring he simply flew them out, holding his Karo securely. With the bond blazing so newly he couldn’t bring himself to even relax his hold. Karo was his, his mate, his beta. The prince shifted Kakarot to better hold him and cut off the lights before leaving the room. They settled into the nest and Vegeta smiled completely relaxed as he watched him mate instinctively seek him out, his loud purr calming and serene. Karo was going to be out the rest of the day judging from his already deep and even breathing. The last thing he wanted was to wake Karo up to leave in a few hours or take him from the safety of the nest. “I wonder if Bardock and Bulma can watch the boys one more night.” He mused aloud trying to remember where he left that scouter or phone Bulma put in the house.

Finding Love Chapter 58
Vegeta watched his mate play with the boys as the submissive held Vegito on his hip. Ever since he had gotten his voice back, he hadn't been too far from the cubs, and he had been constantly chattering to their youngest to help improve the toddler’s own vocabulary. The beta's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Gohan come over to talk to his father, most likely about what to find Tarble as an offering for his hand. The teen had been busy trying to find something suitable on Earth while beginning lessons on how to run his new kingdom. Poor boy could use all the help he could get, and Goku was more than happy to offer advice. It made the prince happy to see the submissive so relaxed and like his former self, but there was something that was burning in the back of his mind that made a frown grow on his face. His eyes flickered over to the oldest of the half saiyans, and a surge of pride went through him as he observed just how much effort Gohan was putting into his gift. Unfortunately, it also made guilt rear its ugly head as well. Bardock was right, loathed as Vegeta was to admit it, and he felt the need to come up with something to give to his Karo. Their mating had been unorthodox, but the alpha wanted to make it up to Goku. “You look troubled, nii-sama.” Tarble said softly. “Tarble, I thought we’d talked about the nii-sama thing.” Vegeta smirked as he ruffled his sibling’s hair. “I know but you’re always going to be my nii-sama.” The beta admit with a smile. “What’s bothering you?” “I’m…I’m sorry I gave Gohan a hard time about his proposal.” Vegeta said softly. “I just want him to do right by you. And I’ve realized that I need to do right by Karo….but I have no idea what I could offer him.” “You really want to make amends don’t you. Ni-” Vegeta’s glare cut him off. “Big brother, Kakarot is happy with you. He forgave you for everything. You don’t have to keep making it up to him.” “It’s not just that, Tarble. Bardock, damn him, has a point. How can I expect Gohan to honor our traditions with you when I haven’t done so with my own mate. We didn’t even court properly. I just….I want to make things right. Karo deserves that.” Tarble hugged his older brother trying to get the troubled expression off the older man’s face. “He’ll be happy with pretty much anything you give him, brother.” Tarble said quietly. “And I know the only reason you give Gohan a hard time is because that’s your job as my big brother. I think you enjoy pushing his buttons.” The beta teased. They settled in the grass watching Kakarot and the cubs playing with the pups, Gohan now involved in the game making the older two boys squeal in laughter as he tickled them both. Karo was so beautiful like this. He wanted to see Karo like this everyday for the rest of their lives. “So what have you considered so far? Maybe you’re over thinking this.” “I can’t really hunt anything for Karo. He’s an accomplished hunter himself and we both know there isn’t an animal that either of us couldn’t kill easily. He doesn’t want to kill anything for trophy status either and doing something like that would only make him sad or angry.” Neither said the obvious, that it was too close a reminder to Shiveria right now. “What about a pet?” Vegeta glared at him not even dignifying that question with a response. “Yeah…that was a terrible idea.” Tarble admit with a blush. “And you already have the three panzaons. And besides your bond jewelry that really wouldn’t work either.” Vegeta sighed at that. “At times I wish he liked wearing nice things and jewelry. Karo looks absolutely stunning when he’s wearing a bit of jewelry but that’s just not him. It was one of the things I always found admirable.” “He told me he was afraid of ruining his nicer clothes and losing the jewelry. Kakarot just isn’t used to it yet. I wasn’t either until I started helping father in court more recently.” Tarble said as his tail wagged a bit. Vegeta smiled happy their father was actually asking Tarble to help. He hadn’t wanted his brother to fade into the shadows. “Anything else?” “I considered a few things, but Karo isn’t a crafter so any tools to help him with that are out. And he doesn’t really care for reading and knowledge unless it helps him with something he has to learn. I thought about adding to the gardens but they are already filled with everything we can safely grow in the palace. Not to mention he feels comfortable with how they already are, I’m hesitant to change that.” Tarble watched as the alpha furrowed his brow in thought. It was so sweet that his older brother was trying so hard to find the perfect gift for his mate. The young beta smiled once he heard Vegeta start to mutter out some more ideas before quickly rejecting them. Just then, a memory flashed in his mind from a few months back. “You know, there was something Kakarot mentioned.” The younger said after bit. “We were talking about where we grew up. He told me he didn’t feel like he ever had a home of his own. He did mention his home with his grandfather and how his wife had it totally rebuilt after they married; to be far Kakarot did say it was in really bad shape after being empty for several years. It never felt like home after that. You could do something to make the palace feel like his home maybe?” The idea struck Vegeta like lightening. He grinned and ruffled his little brother’s hair affectionately as he stood up. “Thanks, Tarble.” +++VK+++ “We’re almost there.” Vegeta said with a sly grin before he pulled the submissive through some bushes drawing giggle from his mate. “Vegeta, why did you bring me all the way out here…?” The beta’s breath caught in his throat once he realized where they were. “This is…” He turned to look back at his mate with wide eyes. It was their lake, where Vegeta marked him and the setting of so many of their dreams together. It was unchanged except for a house further down the shoreline. “I know. I wanted to bring you here.” Vegeta said kissing his mate. “This is our place and its only fitting to visit while we’re on Earth, marama.” “Geta…” The beta felt his eyes water a bit at the sweetness of the gesture. He frowned a bit seeing the house. “What’s wrong?” The alpha was immediately concerned. “There’s someone living here now.” Goku responded softly. Vegeta relaxed then with a smile, and he guided the beta over so he could see the building better. “Take a closer look, Karo,” he whispered making the younger male shiver slightly. Goku glanced over his shoulder at the smirking alpha with a look of confusion before turning to study the house with a closer eye. What he saw made his breath catch in his throat a second time. It was bigger than he realized. The roof was made of black tile and shaped like a traditional Chinese house with the corners curving up just a bit, and the walls were made out of a light gray stone that helped it blend into its surroundings. There were round windows on the two sides he could see with a pattern on the glass that was similar to King Kai’s insignia. The house itself was sitting beside the tree that they had mated for the first time, and there were flowers and other plants scattered along the walls. All and all…it looked eerily similar to his grandfather's house. “Geta…what is this?” Goku's voice was hesitant as he looked over the scene once more. He sounded so confused that it made the prince let out a chuckle. “Marama…as I'm sure you're aware, our mating has been…rather unorthodox to say the least. Normally an alpha will offer a bonding gift to the beta he is courting before they mate to show he is serious about their relationship, and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't even thought of doing so until Gohan asked for Tarble’s hand.” Vegeta moved so that he was in front of the beta and held his hands before continuing. “Kakarot, after Vegetasei was destroyed, I thought I would be the prince of a dead race. I didn't think there was any hope of having a miraculous comeback from the brink of extinction for our people so I gave up. My only comfort was the thought of revenge for years….then I met you. At first I was impressed that a third class warrior had grown so strong, then, on Namek, I became angry over the thought of you being stronger then myself. “Then you were gone for seven years.” Goku was surprised to hear his mate choke up a bit here. “I vowed at your death to never fight again, but I was only able to do so for those first two years. I don't like to look back on that time, love. I just remember feeling empty most of those days, and I was angry that I couldn’t understand why. I started training again as an outlet for my aggression because… while I still thought I hated you at that time, I still couldn’t stand the thought of destroying everything you cared for.” The prince lifted a hand and cupped the submissive's cheek as he gazed adoringly in the other’s onyx eyes. Goku couldn't help but nuzzle the hand as his eyes watered a bit at the speech. “When you returned after all those years… to be honest I wasn’t quite sure what to feel, Karo. I knew I wanted to fight with you, I was also angry that you weren’t going to stay longer, and I was hurt that you were so happy with not being on Earth. I think it was then that my heart decided that it would belong to you and no other. With every else that came after… in a way I’m not surprised that it took my brain so long to catch up with what my heart had decided. “I can now see that I don't want to live a single day without you in my life. I know there will be days when we do not get along. We will fight, we will be at each other’s throat’s, and there may be days when we beat each other to bloody pulp, but I want to share those days with you. I also know there’ll be days where we can just enjoy being with each other. We can laugh together, we can spend days with our boys together, and we can spend nights wrapped up in each other’s arms just soaking in one another. I want that for the rest of our lives, love.” Here Vegeta knelt down on one knee making Goku gasp. He pulled out a black box about the size of his hands and opened it to reveal a white gold necklace with a blue, multicolored labradorite stone in its center. “Will you spend the rest of our days with me as my mate?” Goku stared at him, eyes misty with a soft smile on his face. “But…but I thought we were already mates.” Goku stammered. “You did all this for me?” “I wanted to do things right Karo. I wanted to show you just how much you mean to me because you deserve this being done the proper way.” “Geta….” Goku actually teared up and slid to his knees in front of his alpha. “So do I get an answer to my question?” Vegeta softly asked with a smile. Goku gave a watery laugh before he nodded. “You idiot.” The beta teased as Vegeta carefully hooked the necklace around his mate’s neck. It shimmered in the light and rested around mid-chest on him just at the top of his pectoral muscles. “Of course the answer is yes.” He wiped his eyes before kissing Vegeta softly. His hands found the necklace and gave it a better look. “A necklace or bracelet is traditional. I thought you’d prefer something simple.” Vegeta said taking one of his mate’s hands in his own. “I love it, it’s perfect, Vegeta.” The beta felt at peace as he held the blue stone. He didn’t feel overwhelmed like with the finer jewelry he wore for Vegito’s presentation. His mind didn’t even compare it to the collar he hated so much with how loose it was. “How did you…when did you find the time for all this?” “Bulma helped.” Vegeta said with a laugh. “I told her what I needed and we got it done. It was a bit disturbing how fast she can get people to do things.” The alpha confessed. “This whole lake and the land around it belong to you, Karo, legally. No one can ever move out here or do anything to this place without your consent.” “Why the house?” “I want you to be happy, marama.” Vegeta said once again cupping his mate’s cheek. “If that means we live here or on Vegetasei, I’ll follow you to the ends of the universe.” “Vegeta….” Goku felt his eyes water again. “Our home is on Vegetasei. I love Earth and miss our family here, but I belong with our people.” His alpha smiled and purred at that. “Then this can be a get away for you….or the two of us if you like. A place to relax.” Goku whimpered as Vegeta leaned in and breathed in his scent, his breath ghosting over his mark. His mate had a point. ‘Maybe for my next heat…’ “I’d like that….very much, anaana.” Goku felt like he walked into his rooms in the palace when they went inside. Soft blue and grays decorated the entryway will a living area just like the one in his room minus the nest. Large double french doors were at the back of the room revealing a stunning landscape of the surrounding woods and some more decorative plants surrounding an outdoor sitting area. Goku immediately went to look closer and found a small fire pit and soft chairs and a lounge. A latticed arbor on the corners were covered in vines of flowers and supported a glass roof that would keep the occupants and furniture dry without ruining the view of the sky. Further out from the patio was a large brick grill and oven that they could use for outdoor cooking. Vegeta watched Goku with a smile seeing how happy his mate was. The beta quickly went into a different set of french doors and found himself in an amazing kitchen. The fridge alone was massive. Soft blue covered the walls and the cabinets were white to match the clean white quartz countertops. From there it was a mismatch of Earth and Saiyan technology to let him cook whatever style he wanted from either planet. He opened one of the drawers and found an assortment of knives and tools for prepping food. “This is incredible.” The beta was breathless as he started looking at all the items and ingredients in his kitchen. He was so excited about what he could make his thoughtful alpha with all that he had here. “You haven’t even seen the best parts, Karo.” Vegeta said with a chuckle as he stood in the doorway leading to a dinning room connected to the sitting area. Goku gave the alpha a confused look before following Vegeta to a large dark wood door to the left of the fireplace. Goku opened the door after giving his mate a curious look. He froze seeing a replica of the den in his father’s home. The deep nest filled with blankets, furs and pillows. The back wall was taken up by another massive fireplace and Goku shivered a bit realizing this room was for the two of them alone. “There’s a bathroom like the one at the palace over here.” Vegeta said softly pulling his partner from his thoughts, and the submissive noticed a door just beside the bedroom door. “I didn’t know you liked the bathroom so much.” Goku quipped as Vegeta’s arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him close. “Oh, I wasn’t talking about the bathroom, love.” Vegeta led his mate back to the living room and showed him another dark door off to the side of the doors to the patio. Steam hit his face as he went it. It was a natural hot spring bath. Soft grass and natural smooth stones covered the floor leading to a wide pool in the center of the room. There were submerged stone benches in the pool with steam rolling off them. “I was thinking more along this room.” The beta let out a pleased and excited noise that heated the prince's body in a way that the steam couldn't do, and Vegeta bit back a growl as he watched Goku explore a little. The older saiyan watched in a mixture of amusement and arousal as the black tail attached to his mate whipped the air spreading the scent of cinnamon in the room. “A personal hot spring?!” Goku beamed at his alpha, and Vegeta could feel his chest puffing out a bit at the expression directed to him. “Geta, this is wonderful! I can't believe you went through all this trouble!” “It was no trouble, Marama,” the prince's voice was a purr as he watched the other with half lidded eyes. Vegeta pushed off the doorframe that he was leaning on to almost stalk closer to his mate. “There's one more thing to go with your gift.” The submissive's eyes widened at the tone in Vegeta’s voice as he watched him come closer. He got that distinct feeling of being prey as the alpha circled around to stand at his back. Goku shivered as soon as he felt air rush over his ear from Vegeta’s mouth. “Bardock and Bulma agreed to watch the cubs for tonight and tomorrow….” Pink dusted over Goku's face as he caught the meaning of the words. “So we can enjoy our little paradise before we have to go back to Vegetasei. Doesn't that sound nice?” The question was rhetorical, and the beta found his head nodding without really thinking about it. A mewl came from the younger’s throat as gloved hands crept up under the white top that was becoming damp from the steam. “I'm not going to wait another moment longer, Karo.” Vegeta growled as he pulled his mate closer to his body. “We are not leaving here until I've heard you scream my name. Multiple times in fact.” “Anaana….ah!” Goku was cut off by his own gasp as the prince nipped at the shell of his ear. He melted against the strong body behind him once the dominant left his ear to run his tongue over the bond bite on the beta's shoulder. “I think we can start here.” The excitement in Vegeta's tone had Goku's mind clearing enough to hear the next words before a feeling of anticipation and a small amount of nervousness filled his heart. His body was spun round before he could utter a sound, and the light in the older man's eyes nearly brought him to his knees. “It's going to be a long night, so we might as well have you as relaxed as you can get before we begin. Don't you agree?”
Finding Love Chapter 57
Vegeta just stared down at the glowing orbs with a slight twisted smirk. The rest of the group had listened to Bulma when she said that the saiyan prince should be the one to make the wish without complaint. ‘Ironic…,’ Vegeta thought to himself. ‘For years I've wanted to wish for immortality so I could live in paradise by fighting forever, but now that I'm here,…I'm making a wish for the benefit of another.’ The alpha shook his head in bemusement. Then his smirk turned into a leer. ‘Although…I suppose some of my wish will be selfish.’ “Daddy?” Goten came up to grip the prince's leg drawing the elder’s eyes down to him. He looked up at the dominant with unsure eyes. “Will Shenron be able to help Tama?” “I'm sure he will, tesoro. He can do almost anything, remember?” Vegeta reached down to ruffle the wild spikes on the cub’s head. Once he straightened up, he curled his tail around the small beta before looking back around him one last time. Trunks came up to his other side with Tarble following behind him with a fascinated expression while Bardock, Raditz, and Vegito, in his grandfather's arms, came to stand behind Goten. The humans and namekian were looking on behind the alpha a couple feet away, and the excitement rose once Vegeta held his hands over the dragon balls. “Eternal Dragon, Shenron! I summon you by your name to grant my wish! Come forth!” For a few long seconds, nothing happened, making everything pause for just a moment. The prince let out a breath he unconsciously held as the sky began to darken and the orbs flashed brighter and quicker. The large blast of golden light had everyone gasping as it soared into the clouded sky. It twisting in on itself until it flashed with a bellowing roar, revealing the green scales that covered the majority of the dragon. Goten and Trunks just laughed at the sight of the majestic creature while Vegito stared up with wide eyes. The saiyans that hadn't seen Shenron before gasped and gawked at the sight of the reptile moving so he could get closer to Vegeta, and Bardock couldn't help but hold the baby closer to his chest. “YOU WHO HAVE GATHERED THE SEVEN DRAGON BALLS…I SHALL GRANT YOU TWO WISHES!!!” The voice of the dragon rumbled like thunder, and every person gathered before him could feel the vibrations in their bones. “Two wishes?” Krillin muttered but everyone heard him anyway. “I thought he could grant three wishes…” “YOU ARE CORRECT, BUT LAST TIME I GRANTED A PURE SOUL A WISH THAT USED MUCH OF MY POWER!” The answer had the black haired human flinching. “THEREFORE, I CAN ONLY GRANT TWO AT THIS TIME!” Vegeta narrowed his eyes at this information, but shrugged it off. He only needed the one wish after all, and he took a step forward. “Almighty Shenron! My mate, Kakarot, was taken and harmed not too long ago. I wish for all the injuries and marks that were placed upon his body with the intent to harm to be healed!” The prince clinched his hands as he waited for the response, hoping his wording was enough for the dragon. While it was impossible to tell, Shenron seemed to be looking specifically at Vegeta. The solid, crimson eyes flashed before giving off a steady glow. The massive creature seemed to frown as he used his powers, but then the glow ceased before Vegeta could worry. “YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED!” Everyone smiled and Vegeta visibly relaxed. "I HAVE RESTORED THE ONE NAMED KAKAROT TO AN UNINJURED STATE. MAKE YOUR FINAL WISH!" "Kinda pushy, isn't he?" Bardock muttered as he held Vegito close. The baby looked up at the green serpentine body with wide eyes, but Shenron’s voice made the cub shrink closer to his grandfather's chest. "What else do we wish for?" Bulma asked the group. "We only planned to heal Goku." "We could send the dragon on his way." Krillin suggested. "Actually I have something in mind." Gohan said surprising the others. He turned to face Tarble as he took the beta's hands in his own. "Gohan?" "I know this sudden and not how it's done by saiyans. It's not actually how humans do it since I don't have a ring." He said going down on one knee. Bulma and the others of Earth gasped realizing what Gohan was doing. Tarble blushed getting an idea of where this could be going. "Are you..." "I know that we have only known each other for a short amount of time, but I cannot imagine my life without you. I want to marry you Tarble, to mate with you. I want to be with you forever as my mtima-anake, and I want to start a family with you one day. I want you to help me rule my grandfather's...no my kingdom. I love you ayu. Will you say yes?" Tarble bent and kissed Gohan and smiled. "Of course I'll marry you. But what does this have to do with your wish?" Gohan grinned as he turned to the dragon without letting go of his new mate’s hands. Their tails wrapped around each other seemingly on their own. "I might have a way to keep our family's together, for us to be able to see each other whenever we want without needing my dad's technique." Gohan's said quietly before turning to address the dragon with a polite bow of his head. "Thank you for waiting patiently for my wish, Shenron. I wish for you to create a permanent portal between the planet Earth and Vegetasei connecting Earth's lookout and the palace of Vegetasei." The Dragon’s eyes glowed red for a moment. “YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED! UNITL THE NEXT SUMMONING!” Bardock and the others watched in fascination as green bled into golden light before shrinking to a pinpoint like a star and exploding outward in seven different directions before the sky returned to daylight. Vegeta just stared at the place where the dragon balls had been before they scattered feeling like a large weight had been taken off his shoulders. It only lasted for a few moments before he whirled around on his brother and stepson. “Gohan, Tarble,” the prince called out as he walked up to the pair with his arms crossed. “I'm very happy for you and wish you a long and happy bonding together, but I expect you to do the traditional way of asking for Tarble’s hand, boy. I will not give you my blessings otherwise.” Gohan winced as he brought a hand up to rub the back of his head. The teen had hoped that inheriting a kingdom and showing off the dragon balls would qualify in the saiyan way, but the look on the older alpha's face proved him incorrect. “Excuse me…” Bardock interrupted with an incredulous expression. He shifted Vegito so he could grip the back of the prince's armor, and yanked him away from the flushed couple. “I really don't think you have any room to talk, Vegeta. You leave them alone, besides I seem to recall that you-!” “Shut up, old man!” Vegeta snarled as he pushed the older alpha off of him. “It's none of your business!” “It's is too my business! Kakarot is my son, therefore I have a right to get involved!” Bardock glared at the shorter saiyan as he handed the baby to Gohan, who haphazardly took the cub and quickly backed away. The alphas were just about ready to tear into each other when Bulma marched up to them with a scowl on her face, her eyebrow twitching in fury. The saiyans didn't notice the woman until she proceeded to slap both Vegeta and Bardock on their faces. Immediately, the two dominant saiyans were crouched down holding their faces. “Both of you, shut up!” Her blue eyes were glaring at the pair as she placed her hands on her hips. “Now is not the time for this! This moment is for Gohan and Tarble, and we need to check to see if Goku is alright!” “Dear Kalious what is her hand made of?!” Bardock growled under his breath. “She hits like a damn saiyan!” “Never figured out how she does that.” Vegeta replied as they stood up. +++VK+++ Vegeta quietly closed the door behind Dende as the guardian left the room. They all agreed that keeping things between Goku and his mate would likely be best until they knew if the wish worked or not. Vegeta had no doubt the dragon healed Kakarot, but the test would be getting Kakarot to actually try speaking again. His eyes raked over the sleeping form taking in the lack of discoloration on what skin he could see. Just the sight of his mate healthy and physically unmarked relaxed something inside Vegeta that he wasn’t aware was tense. The beta looked like himself again. His skin was still pale but the sickly pallor of his time in space was gone. His Karo would need plenty of meals and training yet to get his muscles back, but he was healthy. He settled onto the bed and brushed his thumb on Kakarot’s cheek before he leaned in and kissed his mate gently. The beta purred and whimpered in his sleep. “Come on, Karo, you need to wake up now.” Goku groaned and rolled over to face the alpha, his tail flicking in irritation. “Karo.” “It feels so good here.” The beta finally mumbled as he curled against his mate. “I guess we’ll have to find out if Dende healed me when I wake up for real.” Vegeta said nothing as he hovered over his mate and kissed him deeply. When he pulled back the beta noticed the watering of his mate’s eyes. “Geta? What’s wrong?” “Its not a dream, Karo.” Vegeta said caressing the beta’s cheek with a warm, happy smile on his face. “This is real, love.” Dark eyes widened before one of his hands grasped at his throat in shock. “You…you mean…” Goku smiled feeling the vibrations of his vocal cords before tears sprang to his eyes. “It worked…..Geta, it worked!” He pulled his mate down with sobbing laugh before he kissed Vegeta fiercely. “I love you; Geta I love you so much.” Goku gasped out between tears. “I…I didn’t think…” “Shh, its ok, Karo.” Vegeta soothed as he kissed his mate’s forehead. He moved so that he was laying beside the younger saiyan, and the prince gathered the other to his chest. “Its over Karo, it’s finally over. You have your voice back and all the scars are gone.” “I can talk to the boys now, my father. We don’t have to sleep to talk to each other.” “I personally liked how some of those talks ended, Karo.” Vegeta teased earning a blush from Goku. “Of course you would.” Goku grinned back before he rubbed his face alongside the prince’s. “I love you so much, Geta.” “You already said that, love.” Vegeta purred pulling Goku tighter to him and simply holding him. “I missed saying it. Please don’t let this actually be a dream.” “Would you like me to pinch you?” “That never works- Ouch!” Goku yelped when the alpha nipped his ear. “Geta!” He shifted to put some distance between them, but the dominant had too strong of a grip for him to go far. The prince's chest rumbled at the call of his name, and he brought his tongue up to soothe the sting he left on the submissive. Almost immediately, Goku's head fell to the side with a whimpering moan that had Vegeta’s blood heating. A deep purr built in the alpha's chest as he lowered his head to worship the offered flesh. “Ahh….” The moan was breathy as the beta felt teeth and tongue play over his bond bite. “Geta….anaana…,” Goku almost whined out the term of endearment as a calloused hand slipped under the white shirt he was wearing unnoticed. His arms wrapped around the dominant’s neck to pull his mate closer. “Marama…” Vegeta’s voice was velvety and the whisper caused Goku to shudder. The alpha brought his hand up slowly as he moved to hover over the younger saiyan. His eyes had gone half lidded with a sensual heat building up in onyx depths. The fingers of his free hand sank into black spikes to lightly scratch at the submissive’s scalp. “I have missed you saying my name. Especially like this.” “Wha-?” Goku started to ask when the prince moved and almost violently shoved his tongue in that sweet mouth. The beta moaned as he tried to pull back from the overbearing alpha, but he had been pressed into the mattress which prevented his escape. The dominant moved the hand under Goku's shirt up towards the younger male’s neck, bringing the shirt with it. The cool air had the submissive shuddering, and Vegeta started to play with one of Goku’s nipples making him whine. The beta broke the kiss as the prince brought both of his hands to grip along his rib cage. “Nggg….Ve-Vegeta.” “Yes…,” Vegeta purred as he heatedly stared his mate down. “I've missed the way you call out my name. It proves that you are my mate. Mine and mine alone. I'm going to make you scream it for all to hear.” The alpha could feel his blood rushing to the lower half of his body, and he brought one hand down to Goku's pants so he could take this further. Goku was about ready to surrender to the older man's intentions, but his ears could pick up the rapid thumping taps of small feet running along the floor. His eyes widened once he realized that the sound was coming closer, so he shoved his mate off his body. The alpha snarled in irritation as the submissive rushed to smooth his shirt down just as the door burst open to show two cubs with their eyes set on Goku. “Tama!” Goten barreled into the beta's arms with Trunks following close behind. The force of their impact caused Goku to land flat on his back on the bed. “Did it work? Can you talk now?” “I'm sorry, Tama.” The lavender haired boy cut in before the submissive could answer. “I told Goten we should've waited, but he was too anxious.” “Hey! You wanted to know too!” “But the grown ups said to wait, not come running up here!” “I waited!” “Five minutes doesn’t count!” Goku couldn’t help the laugh that burst from his mouth before he pulled both cubs into an embrace. He laughed hard enough his eyes teared up just reveling in actually being able to make the sound. “Boys, what did-” Bardock growled out from the doorway before he froze hearing his son’s laugh. “It worked!” Goten shouted happily as he purred and nuzzled his tama, his little tail whipping the air happily. “It worked, it worked, it worked!” “It worked, Goten.” Goku finally managed to stop laughing and nuzzled his cub back. “I love you both so much, boys.” He nuzzled Trunks next drawing a happy purr from the older boy. “I thought about you every day I was gone. I missed you so much.” Words he’d wanted to say for so long came spilling out. Bardock glanced at Vegeta as the alpha picked himself off the floor with a raised eyebrow. While the sight before him warmed his heart, he would have liked to finish what he had started. “I’m going to start locking the doors at this rate.” “Were you-?!” Bardock didn’t finish the question before Vegeta growled a bit. Goten and Trunks climbed off the beta and tugged at his hands. “Come on! We gotta show everybody!” Goten said practically bouncing in place. “Ok, let me get up first.” Goku laughed before ruffling the cubs’ hair with his tail. Oh Tarro Bardock had missed that sound. The older male pulled his son into a tight embrace as they made it to the doorway. “I’m so glad you’re finally ok, Kakarot.” “Me too, father.” Goku whispered into his father’s ear. “I missed you. I’m….” The beta choked up overwhelmed with words. “It’s alright, son. We have all the time you need to say everything you want.” “Thank you.” Both he and Vegeta knew it was for more than just being patient. It was for everything. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat, son.” ++VK++ “It worked, it worked!” Goten shouted running ahead as they entered the living room where everyone was waiting. “Shenron made Tama better!” “What?” The word was sharp and half growled by Goku standing in the doorway causing all of the adults to freeze. Goten smiled and looked back up at the beta ignoring the anger in his tama’s voice. “Daddy made a wish so you would get better.” He chirped. “And Gohan and Tarble are gonna be mates! They made a wish so we can go back and forth between here and home!” “Huh?” Goku gasped out confused. How long was he asleep? “Tama?” Trunks asked concerned. Goku turned and walked out of the room his tail lashing the air. “Did I say something wrong?” Goten asked softly, his tail finding its way into his hands as he squeezed it nervously. Vegeta sighed looking after his mate and gently took the tail from his hands. They really needed to break that habit before he hurt himself. “No, I should have told Karo about the dragon before now.” He said quietly. “How about you boys go play with Miyu and Dokueki while we talk to Karo. I think your Tama is just overwhelmed right now.” “Kay!” Both cubs chimed in unison. Vegeta found Kakarot squatting against the building on the verge of a panic attack. Karo’s emotions were all over the place with the return of his voice and before they even came downstairs Vegeta could tell his mate was overwhelmed. If he had to guess, the news his oldest son proposed without so much as telling him he wanted to had to be what finally tipped the beta over the edge. “Karo-” “Go away, Vegeta.” Goku snapped short of breath. “Not while you’re like this, marama.” Vegeta said softly. “I told you not to use the dragon balls.” The beta snarled finally looking up. “You said you wouldn’t!” “I never agreed to that and you know it. You dropped the subject.” Vegeta bit back trying to keep his temper in check. “Karo, why are you so upset about this?” “I already got a wish for myself, Geta; doing that more than once….Its wrong.” Goku struggled to get out as his emotions spun out of control. “I should have never let you talk me into coming back here.” “I’m glad he did” Bulma said startling both of them. “You would have let yourself suffer pointlessly with an injury that couldn’t be fixed.” “I wouldn’t have-” “Shut up, Goku!” Bulma exploded. “You are the most selfless person on the entire planet. In the entire time I’ve known you, you never made a single wish for yourself. I doubt it ever even crossed your mind! And no reviving your planet and race so you can go live with them because you wanted to be with your own race doesn’t count!” “Vegeta knows how I felt about using the dragon balls he shou-” “We all agreed to make the wish for you after Dende said he couldn’t heal you. It wasn’t just him.” “What?” Bulma sighed and sat beside him in the grass. “All of us wanted you to have your voice back. We….what happened to you was wrong, Goku. None of your friends or family wanted you to suffer because of what that bitch did to you. You have done so much for this world and all of your friends…you don’t get to decide if we can return the favor to you.” “But…but I…” The beta stuttered as he looked at his oldest friend in shock, and both Vegeta and Bulma felt their heart clench at the lost look on the younger saiyan's face. He stepped over so he could sit on Goku's other side and pulled the submissive to rest on his chest. “Goku…did you really think that we wouldn't care enough about you to do something like this?” Bulma asked while the alpha ran a hand up so he could scratch at his mate’s sensitive scalp helping him to relax a little more. A flush of embarrassment was all the answer Bulma and Vegeta needed, and he let out an exasperated sigh. “Love…” “I know, Geta.” The submissive's voice cut him off before he could say anything. “No Goku this isn’t right. We should have been better friends, better family. You are basically my little brother. You should have never felt you couldn’t come to us for help. Just because we looked up to you from all the times you saved us doesn’t mean we won’t look out for you. You are so special and have helped everyone so many times. It just never seemed like you needed us to do anything for you.” Bulma explained to the confused beta. “We’re all here for you, marama. You aren’t alone now, and will never be ever again. Its ok to let us help you.” The quiet was broken when the beta’s stomach growled drawing a blush from the beta. “That includes asking for food to fill that black hole you call a stomach when you’re hungry.” Bulma teased with a giggle as she stood and dusted off her dress. “I promise you can always ask us for help Goku. Now I’m going to get the kitchen in gear, that buffet isn’t enough to feed all you hungry saiyans.” Goku hummed as he leaned closer to the prince with his eyes narrowed in thought. In a way, he did think something along those lines. He had been taking care of himself for so long that he forgot about the people that cared for him here. The prince moved to look in the younger in his eyes. Vegeta could see a new realization with those wide onyx depths, but he decided to let the subject go for now. It might come up again in the future, and he would be ready for it. “Im ok now, Geta. I’m sorry I got mad.” “Its alright, Karo.” The alpha nuzzled the side of the beta's face with a purr. He was relieved that his mate was no longer upset with him, and now everything was alright with the world once more. “Come on, let's head back to the boys before they destroy something or poison someone.” Goku chuckled at that and allowed the dominant to pull him to his feet. As they started to walk back, he remembered something Goten said. “So…what's this about Gohan and Tarble?”
