**Marked Forever**

Vinnie's fingers danced across Mochi's skin, adding more gentle touches to the spot where he had left his mark. He wanted to make sure that the scent was strong, that it would linger on Mochi's skin for a long time, a constant reminder of their bond. As he worked, Mochi's eyes never left his, a mixture of fascination and desire burning in their depths. The scent mark was a primal thing, a way for Vinnie to claim Mochi as his own in the most basic, instinctual way. He had always known that he would do this, that he would leave his mark on Mochi's skin and make him his. And now, as he finished the last of the scent marking, Vinnie felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him. Mochi's eyes fluttered closed as he let out a soft sigh, his body relaxing into Vinnie's touch. Vinnie's hands roamed over his skin, gentle and soothing, as he whispered soft words of reassurance into Mochi's ear. "You're mine now, kitten," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Forever and always, you'll be mine." As Vinnie's words washed over him, Mochi felt a shiver run down his spine. He knew that he was Vinnie's now, that he had been claimed and marked as the alpha's own. It was a strange, thrilling feeling, and Mochi couldn't help but wonder what other things Vinnie had in store for him. Vinnie's hands continued to roam over Mochi's skin, gentle and soothing, as he pulled back to look at him. Mochi's eyes met his, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, the air between them thick with tension. Then, without a word, Vinnie leaned in, his lips brushing against Mochi's in a soft, gentle kiss. Mochi's response was immediate – he deepened the kiss, his tongue tangling with Vinnie's as he wrapped his arms around him, holding him close. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own little bubble of desire and possession. As they broke apart for air, Vinnie's eyes locked onto Mochi's, burning with an inner fire. "I want you, kitten," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "I want you all to myself, now and forever." Mochi's heart skipped a beat as he looked into Vinnie's eyes. He knew that he was in this now, that he had been claimed and marked as Vinnie's own. And as he looked into Vinnie's eyes, he knew that he was ready, that he was ready to give himself to the alpha, body and soul.
