Where Do I Belong?
It all started over a letter; a simple piece of paper with a
college header that was addressed from far, faraway—a letter from some
professor that would change everything. It meant that Kobe was leaving soon and there was nothing Dane could about it.
Pushing the document back under Kobe’s bed without bothering to read the
rest, Dane continued vacuuming their shared room with a dangerous grip on the
household appliance. Not book smart in
the least, Dane wasn’t even applying to college because he knew he’d just end
up a Beta anyways. But Kobe? What had he expected? Kobe was everything he wasn’t, smart, good
looking, and popular. He belonged at
that fancy Lupe college on the west coast and a big dumb lug of a best friend
couldn’t hold him back from that. Dane sighed and turned off the vacuum. His grief over his only friend in the entire world leaving him, now turning to anger.
Once the room was clean to Kobe’s mother’s specifications,
Dane showered and shaved in the small adjoining bathroom before Kobe got back
from helping the older males. He wanted
to be gone before the pack’s little superstar got back from working with the
beta’s down at the lake. They were
building a fishing dock for obvious reasons as well as something for the young
to jump off of in the summer. This place
was more like a family resort than a compound and all the happy fluffy crap
just made Dane bitter. His father had
been killed in a Beta challenge when Dane was ten and after that his mother
wasn’t really up for the job of handling her own child. Therefore the Alpha had taken him in and
offered him a real home when his mother vanished from the compound. They knew she wasn’t coming back.
It sounded ideal but it was absolute torture to live in
someone’s home as if you were their family but know that you weren’t at
all. Even worse was to know that you
were in love with the Alpha’s son but that you couldn’t touch the future leader
of the pack because he was straight and Dane knew that being with another man
would be frowned upon by the others. So
he just existed among them. The big
muscled, dumb asshole living in a pen of pretty smiling creatures was the story
of Dane’s life.
He threw on some clean clothes and grabbed his dad’s old
rucksack from under his own bed and headed out.
The only thing he really owned in life was the old red truck that had
been his fathers. It wasn’t much as it
was rusted here and there and the seats had seen better days but it was his and
when he drove it, he felt a connection to the father that he barely knew. He’d even kept the picture of his mom that
was shoved in the rearview mirror. This
truck was his family.
“Dane!” He heard a voice shout as he started the ignition
and the truck roared to life. Glancing out the window, he cringed at the sight
of the lean male running towards his car with the lightest blue eyes he’d ever
seen. White blonde hair glinted in the
dying sun as Kobe ran towards the truck.
“I have to be somewhere Kobe. Don’t wait up,” Dane shouted
out the window and backed up to avoid any further conversation. If he stuck around, he’d just end up more
pissed off and say things he didn’t want to ever admit.
“Dane, hey wait!” Kobe frowned and stopped running. What the hell was eating him lately? They were best friends but recently there was
a wall up between them and Kobe couldn’t for the life of him figure out what
was going on. He missed Dane terribly
and ever since the big ass had decided to start ignoring him, Kobe had tried to
make himself busy with helping out the Beta’s with their summer projects. Was that what Dane was upset about, that Kobe
was hanging out with the older males?
Well hell, Dane was stronger than any of them put together. If he wanted to hang, the guys would love it.
But Kobe had a feeling that wasn’t the problem.
Maybe he’d figured out how Kobe felt…
“Hey, sexy,” Lana laughed and put an arm around Kobe. Dane glanced over as he put the truck in gear
to see Lana with her arms around Kobe as his best friend just stared at him
blankly. Seeing that female with her
hands on Kobe was more than Dane could handle and he slammed on the gas—leaving
a trail of dust in his wake. Raising a
brow Lana shook her head. “You two are
so clueless it makes me sick. I may like
girls but I still know a thing or two about boys and you’re all dumbasses.”
She flicked Kobe’s ear with her blue fingernails. “Earth to Kobe…hello?”
“Why does he do that?
What did I do to him to make him that angry?” Kobe turned to Lana who pouted and sighed.
“It’s because he likes you too much that he’s angry.”
“That doesn’t make any sense. How could he like me too much? We’re practically bonded for crying out
loud. He’s like my brother Lana.”
“Brother?” She snorted. “Do me a favor and don’t ever tell
him that.”
“What? Why?” Kobe screwed up his brows in confusion.
“Like I said, you are so clueless.” Lana kissed Kobe’s cheek
and turned around with a flip of her bright red bob. “Later pup.”
Kobe stood there and felt his stomach twisting with grief as
he watched Dane’s truck become smaller and smaller down the main
road—eventually disappearing into nothing.
~~~~~~
Two nights later, Dane slipped into the bedroom as quietly
as he could. One of the older males had
given him enough Southern Comfort to kill a horse and he was having a hard time
walking, let alone being silent about it.
He walked right into the bathroom door and hissed as pain bloomed across
his forehead. “Fuck,” he whispered and
reached out blindly to steady himself.
So much for drinking his troubles away, Dane thought. This was so much worse.
Not sure what he was doing, he spotted the bed and stripped
his clothes off as best he could. Proud
that he hadn’t fallen to the floor when his jeans trapped his ankles, Dane
climbed into bed and wrapped his large body around the warm mound of pillows
under his chest. Damn these pillows
smelled good, Dane smiled and inhaled—burying his nose deep within their
softness.
The next thing he knew a loud buzzer was going off and his
eyes fluttered open. Light assaulted at his irises and he turned into the
pillow to avoid going blind. Man his
head hurt and his mouth tasted like…yeah gross.
When he felt a small arm tighten around his waist and heard a groan of
protest somewhere near his chest, Dane stiffened. No, no, no, he thought madly. Please no.
Dane looked down and he felt his life slip away in
horror. Kobe’s face was pressed into
Dane’s chest and his naked body was pressed…everywhere. Dane was already hard against Kobe’s stomach
and the larger Lupe knew he had to get the hell out of here. He had to leave
this place and spare Kobe any shame. If
someone found out about this or his love for the Alpha’s son, Kobe’s status
would most likely be ruined and he’d be an outcast. Very slowly, Dane slipped out from under
Kobe’s embrace and got dressed. He
packed up his rucksack with a few essentials and put the wad of cash left over
from his last job at the bottom before tying it up tight. Now he stood over Kobe’s sleeping form and a
tear ran down his face. Quietly, he
knelt beside the bed and kissed Kobe’s cheek.
“I’m sorry I have to leave you because…I want nothing more than to stay
with you forever. But I love you enough
to know what’s right and you’re better than me.
You’ve always been better than me Kobe and maybe now…maybe now you’ll
realize it. I love you Kobe. Maybe one day you’ll forgive me.”
Realizing he was crying, Dane sniffled into his jacket sleeve
and wiped his face. He gave Kobe one last look before he turned and left the
main house. Walking past his truck was
like his feet had suddenly turned to stone.
His body knew what he was doing was wrong, his wolf was screaming inside
to stop this, but he had to leave here.
He couldn’t sit by any more and watch Kobe become this beautiful man,
this Alpha who would take a female, this man that would have young and
eventually leave him behind. The idea
tore Dane up inside and his wolf had to agree on that but then it started
crying again.
“We have to go,” Dane whispered and looked back at the house
one last time.
“And where are you off to this early?” Lana walked out of
the tree line in mesh shorts and trainers, fresh from a morning run.
Dane kept his growl of fury for the female under wraps and
kept his red rimmed eyes lowered. “Out.”
“If you keep running, it’ll only get worse Dane. Even I can feel your wolf about ready to
snap. I know I’m not much but you can
talk to me if you want.” Lana shrugged and took a step closer.
Slowly Dane turned his now yellow eyes over his
shoulder. “And why would I want to talk
to you? You’re nothing more than a slut
that only wants Kobe because he’ll be Alpha one day.” He bared his teeth and
growled. His nails grew on his fingers
and tore into his backpack.
“Whoa. What? Hold up
there big guy. First off I am not a slut
and…”
“Enough!” Dane roared and took a step towards the
female. Lana’s eyes widened and she
backed up in fear.
“Holy shit,” Lana whispered and went to her knees—her head
immediately falling low to him. Dane didn’t even ask what the fuck her problem
was and took off. As much as it hurt to
leave his truck, he knew he couldn’t drive it around with registered plates and
escape being found by the pack. With a
rage that scared even him, Dane took off through the woods and tears blurred
his vision. His wolf guided him around
the thick trees and over the fallen logs.
Scents, colors, and sounds became nothing more than static to Dane as he
felt his wolf’s heart breaking. They
were leaving their pack, the boy they loved, and everything they knew behind.
~~~~~~~~
“Kobe, wake up! C’mon son, get up!” Large hands shook Kobe
out of his perfect slumber and his eyes shot open. His dad and mom were directly above him and
in the doorway was a terrified looking Lana.
Immediately Kobe turned to see Dane’s bed empty and his backpack was
gone.
“Dane…” he whispered.
“Son, did you talk to him at all this morning? Did he say
where he was going?” The Alpha looked
down at Kobe with his matching light blue eyes and shot Kobe’s mom a look of
concern.
“No, I haven’t talked to him in a long time dad. He’s been weird lately.” Kobe kept the sheets
around his body and strained not to pull them to his nose and inhale with a
stricken cry. The Alpha’s son was barely containing himself in the bed as it
was—his wolf crying out in desperation.
He just knew Dane was missing and Kobe and his wolf were heartbroken.
“Get dressed, so you can be up if he calls. I can feel him still in the area and his wolf
his is pissed at him. The damn thing woke me up with the bond. We need to find
him before he…” The Alpha shook his head and sighed before standing up.
“Before he what?” Kobe straightened up and his mom put a
hand on his shoulder.
“Honey this morning when Lana tried to approach him, he
barely contained himself at the mention of…” She looked to Kobe’s father for
support.
“Well he should know Kelly.
He hasn’t seemed to notice for the last nine years.” The Alpha threw his
hands up and paced the room with a shudder of stress.
“Oh for crying out loud Kobe. Are you fucking blind?” Lana stomped into the
room with wide eyes. “He isolates
himself from the others because he knows he’s different, stronger, and he
thinks way to damn much. Sound
familiar?” She gestured to Kobe’s dad and the Alpha looked guilty as charged.
“Then there’s the fact that you two are in love with each
other. Jesus how hard is that to say! I
mentioned you this morning as he was leaving and he called me a slut who only
wanted you for madam Alpha status. Can
you believe that shit? Oh he did though. He about ripped my head off and then made me
submit. I am the daughter of the head Beta, Kobe. The only person that can make me submit
is…the Alpha.” Lana softened her voice as she watched Kobe absorb what he was
being told. The blonde turned towards
the window and searched the woods with an unholy need. He’d known it was Dane last night in his bed
and he had craved the touch more than he was able to describe. Even if Dane had been drunk, Kobe couldn’t
say no.
Now as he admitted his feelings to himself at their full
extent, Kobe silently let the tears fall.
“Why would he leave me then?”
“Because he doesn’t think he’s good enough for you. He thinks that I’ll rip him to pieces for
loving you,” The Alpha said. He sat on
the bed and combed his son’s hair away from his face. “But truth is Kobe, me and your mom have
always known. How could we not?” His mom
snorted and Kobe suddenly got antsy or rather his wolf did.
“Okay, can I have a minute to get dressed? Then I’m coming with you.” Kobe swallowed and
looked his father in the eye.
“Son, you can’t come with us. If he’s transitioning and I think that’s
what’s happening, then his wolf will snap and make you submit on the spot. You know what I’m sayin?” The Alpha pulled
his lips tight and looked around as if embarrassed.
“So I have to submit, big deal? Now get out…please.” He
rephrased. The man in front of him might be his dad but he was also his Alpha
and you didn’t tell an Alpha what to do.
“What your father means honey is that Dane will make you submit
not as in on your knees before your leader but as in submit to your mate. He won’t care about anything or anyone around
when he does either. Do you want that?”
His mother gently explained and Kobe felt his face flush hot. The thought of Dane rubbing against his naked
body and those powerful jaws locked onto his shoulder made Kobe hard under the
sheets. Oh God, the nights that he had
gone off into the woods just to touch himself at the thought had been agonizing
compared to what the real thing would be like.
Now he had the chance…
Looking to Lana who was waiting patiently in the corner, he
sighed and turned back to his mother.
“How long until they bring him back?”
“It could be an hour or he could prove to be a little harder
to bring in than we thought. A day at
the most,” The Alpha replied. “Just try
and relax Kobe. We’ll bring him back
son. You have my word.”
Kobe nodded and let his head fall forward to hide the tears
that came back. Where are you Dane?
~~~~~~~
Dane’s head was spinning and he began breathing harder and
harder. His chest felt like it was going
to explode as if his wolf would leap right out it. Any minute now he was going to shift and for
some reason Dane knew this time was going to be different. Everything in his body ached and screamed in
pain and finally he couldn’t push on. He
knew he wasn’t out of pack lands yet but he was far enough away for now. Slinging his pack off his back, he tore his
shirt off and howled to his knees in agony.
It was like he was shifting for the first time, only worse and Dane
cried it hurt so badly.
The sun was sifting through the tops of the trees—filtering
in small bits of light here and there as Dane fell over and starting shaking
violently. His wolf was charging in his
head, growling its anger for leaving home, pissed that its mate had been
abandoned. It was wanted out and it
wasn’t taking no for an answer. The wolf
was stronger than Dane right now and he didn’t have a choice as his body obeyed
the creature’s demands. Dane screamed
and his back bowed as he heard the bones shifting under his skin. His nails lengthened and hair erupted on his
hands and flowed up his arms.
His pants busted at the seams as his thighs thickened with
hard muscle and fur poked out of the breaking denim. With the last of his humanoid strength, Dane
kicked off his boots and roared as his beast took over completely.
~~~~~~~
They’re close, the large grey wolf sniffed in the air and
scented the others coming for him. He
was stronger now and they would not take his mate from him. They would not separate them. The two wolves would be together whether the other’s
liked it or not. He would kill them to
get back to his mate. Let them come, he
growled.
Like leaves blowing in on the wind, six wolves slowly crept
out of the trees and surrounded the large grey wolf in the middle of the
clearing. The biggest one with the
glossy black coat stepped forward and growled.
It was not a threat, it was a demand for obedience and the power from
the older wolf made him think twice.
This was his Alpha, his guardian, the man that had basically raised
him. But be that as it may, no Alpha
would tolerate two males as mates. It
just wasn’t done. He would have to take
his mate and run.
Sensing the wolf behind him getting too close, he turned
around and growled, his razor sharp teeth bared and his eyes blazing with
power. The smaller wolf yelped and put
his head down low to the ground in submission as the grey wolf continued to
show his status. All the other wolves
started to back up as the grey one turned back to face the black wolf. Mine.
The grey wolf thought to his Alpha who snorted and shook his muzzle.
He is mine! The
grey wolf growled and the black wolf’s eyes went light blue. If you
can shift back, then you are worthy of him.
That was ridiculous, the grey wolf huffed. Only an Alpha could shift back and forth
between human and wolf at will. Others
would have to at least wait an hour before the wolf would let them change back. You know I can’t. You laugh at me?
Have you tried pup?
Those blue eyes stared at him and the wolf thought about it. He looked around at the other wolves who all
had their heads lowered to the ground except the black one. The grey wolf shut his eyes in thought and
felt a ripple cross his body quickly.
When he opened his eyes, Dane looked down at his naked body in
shock. Kobe’s father had changed back
too and stood there with a smile.
“This isn’t possible!
I’m the son of a Beta. I’m not an
Alpha,” Dane said and shook his head in disbelief. His body felt stronger though, his wolf
obedient but still crying for his mate, he felt like…
“Whoever told you that was mistaken Dane, because I too am
the son of a Beta. You are an Alpha Dane
and I know you feel it now…” Dane
thought to his mother and the way she insisted that he could never be an Alpha
when he was younger. But was she really
trying to keep him out of the spotlight for his own safety? Did she just not want to risk Dane being
challenged and killed like her father?
Is that why she left because she knew Dan would be stronger than the
rest eventually? That she would have no
choice?
“She knew didn’t she? My mom?” Dane felt the tears again and
the Alpha nodded.
“That’s why she left you in my care Dane because she
couldn’t handle seeing you in any danger.
She wasn’t a bad person. The loss
of a mate does things to you that you couldn’t imagine. She loved you Dane, she just didn’t love
herself anymore without him.” The Alpha took a few steps forward and put a hand
on Dane’s shoulder. “I love my son too
Dane. And that’s why you’re going to
come back home and make him happy. I
don’t like seeing him like that…”
“What’s wrong? What’s happened?” Dane’s eyes narrowed and he
growled.
“He misses his mate.”
Those four words brought Dane to his knees and he wept at the feet of
his own Alpha in gratitude.
~~~~~~~~~
Kobe paced the floor of the cabin’s one room and kept
glancing at the door. He could feel
others nearby and his hands were starting to sweat at what was about to
happen. Something had shifted in the
group since they had left and Kobe could almost taste the power of two full
grown Alphas in the woods. Dane, Kobe
salivated and tried to sit on the bed but found staying still too
uncomfortable. His wolf was about out of
his mind and the bond was growing stronger between him and Dane as the level of
need rose. Suddenly flushed with heat,
Kobe pulled his shirt off and fanned his face before pushing his hair out of
his eyes. He needed to open a window
before he suffocated.
That was a mistake he realized quickly as the scent of his
male traveled in the air and brought him to his knees. He gripped the table that Lana had helped him
wash down and accidentally tipped the vase of flowers off the surface. The vase shattered to the floor but Kobe was
unconcerned with that as he writhed in his jeans. They had to come off before he soaked right
through them. His wolf was on the brink
of something but he didn’t know what—they were both too far gone to communicate
with each other.
Unzipping his jeans with shaking hands, Kobe tried his best
not rip the damn things off his body and shimmed out of them. The cool wood of the floor relieved him for a
moment but then the fever took over again.
His hand slipped into his briefs and found his aching cock. God what was happening, Kobe moaned. He felt the wolves leaving the area and he
almost screamed for help but then he felt a force of nature coming full speed
to the cabin and the scent coming through the window became much stronger.
“Oh God,” Kobe squeezed his dick and pulled his briefs below
his balls to feel the breeze on his skin. So hot, he moaned. The door cracked open and Dane stood there
with a growl on his lips. His short brown
hair was soaked with sweat like had just shifted and his muscles gleamed with
the same salty moisture—the lines of his body seemed beyond powerful. The massive Alpha took the entire length of
the room in three steps and pulled his mate from the floor by the hips. With a growl and his yellow eyes locked on
tearful blue ones, Dane placed Kobe on the wooden four poster bed and ripped
the briefs from his body.
His body covered Kobe’s burning skin and he
sought out that mouth with his tongue.
Kobe’s legs wrapped around Dane’s tight ass and everything else was
lost. There wasn’t any fear of what they
were
doing, there wasn’t some long drawn out talk. They were mates and they were going to make
it official. Kissing turned to petting
and soon the breathing in the room was so loud, Dane couldn’t think. His cock ached so bad, that he didn’t think
twice about lifting up onto his knees and pulling Kobe by the hair to his
erection. Kobe didn’t miss a beat and
licked the sweat from his Alpha’s dick.
“More,” Dane growled and pushed Kobe’s mouth down onto his
erection and pulled him back—showing him how he liked it. Kobe’s hands found his mate’s hips and he
moaned at the pleasure between them. He
lived to please the man he sucked, his body a mere extension of the bond they
were creating. The air around them
hummed with power and pricked at Kobe’s skin.
He was in another world that only involved submitting to the man above
him. Pain, pleasure, whatever he wanted,
Kobe was lost in it.
Dane felt the power thrumming through him and felt the love
pouring off of Kobe in waves. The
smaller male was getting off on pleasuring him and that pleased his beast…a
lot. He combed his fingers through
Kobe’s hair and anchored them tight as he began to thrust into his mouth
slowly. Kobe’s hands ran up and down
Dane’s muscled thighs and up to his ass—wandering and learning Dane’s large
body. Taking his mate deeper, the blonde
coughed a little at the unfamiliar intrusion so far down his throat but relaxed
as Dane’s fingers softened and gently massaged his scalp in reassurance.
The look of complete submission on Kobe’s face was too much
for Dane and he pulled out of the male’s mouth. “On your back.” Dane barely
comprehended his own voice as he pushed his mate down onto the bed. Kobe moaned as Dane’s hands ran down body and
brushed over his erection then down to his ass.
“My mate…” Kobe groaned and his eyes rolled up as Dane
lowered his face to Kobe’s ass and inhaled his scent. “Mine,” Dane growled and Kobe took his own
dick in his hand.
“Yes! Yours,” Kobe
cried and shuddered as Dane’s tongue began to bathe his entrance with a rumble
of his beast against the blonde’s skin.
“Yes, yes, yes…” the smaller male chanted and pumped his cock.
Neither boy had a clue what they were doing but they went on
their instincts and Dane’s wolf was crying for release inside of his mate. Rising on his knees, the future Alpha flexed
his muscles for his mate and pushed at the back of Kobe’s legs. “This is all mine. You, this, all of it. Do you understand my mate?” Those yellow eyes
looked right into Kobe and he moaned his reply and bared his neck to Dane.
Lining up his dick to the warmth of Kobe’s ass, Dane pushed
inside and listened to his male cry out—the sound filling the cabin and the
smell of his sex so intense, Dane lost it.
The sheets were thrown off the bed and Dane grabbed onto Kobe’s slender
hips. The first thrust sent the bed
slamming into the wall and Kobe gave out a strangled scream, his hands flying
out the wall behind him. It was mind
blowing, the feeling of Dane filling him was like heaven made flesh, hot and
pulsing inside his ass as he was pushed to his limit.
Locking eyes with his mate, Dane rammed home again and
again. He molded his body to Kobe’s
chest and made sure his skin rubbed against his mate’s cock. He wanted to feel more of his boy, more of
that sweaty heat, to get more of that fucking smell. God, it was unlike
anything he’d ever known. His tongue
lapped the sweat across Kobe’s nipple as he continued to thrust into his mate
over and over. His wolf was howling in
his head, his teeth extending into canines, his heart about to burst with the
love he felt for Kobe.
The smaller blonde looked into his mate’s yellow eyes and
panted as his body was filled and stretched by his lover. Never would anyone else touch him like this,
not that he had ever wanted anyone else too.
This was it for Kobe, Dane was all he would ever need. Threading his
fingers into Dane’s hair, the blue eyed male brought his mate’s head to his
untouched neck and moaned as the thrusts got deeper—that thick cock sliding
right over his prostate.
Dane’s neck tilted to Kobe’s mouth on the other side and the
blonde scented his mate mingling with the powerful wolf underneath. Their wolves greeted each other on a level
that surpassed intimate and that was when Dane’s mouth drew back an inch and
captured Kobe’s neck within his jaws.
Those teeth sank home and Kobe shuddered uncontrollably, the bite of his
mate claiming him like an orgasm to his bloodstream, the effect shocking his
nerves from head to toe. He felt his
wolf sweep over him and his eyes turned an autumn gold. His teeth lengthened and struck at the sweat
soaked skin of Dane’s neck—locking the two of them together as they came in
unison.
~~~~~~~~
Dane parked his truck in front of the cabin and got
out. Cracking his back he then grabbed
up the groceries from the truck bed and brought them inside. Rock music blared from the small set of
speakers Kobe had brought out to the compound’s guest cabin last week and Dane
looked around for his mate. Setting down
the groceries, he walked quietly out to the back porch to find Kobe shirtless
and hanging clothes out on the line.
With a grin, Dane growled and pounced, making Kobe drop the towel to the
ground. Pushing him into the grass, Dane
straddled Kobe’s ass with a grin.
The blonde laughed and turned over. Reaching up, he grabbed Dane’s face in his hands
and brought those lips down for a scorching kiss. “What took you so long?”
“I couldn’t find the right shampoo body wash combo crap you
use. I can’t believe you use that frilly
shit.”
“You love the smell,” Kobe replied seductively and ran his
hands over his neck and through his hair on purpose.
Dane leaned down and inhaled from Kobe’s neck to his
scalp. “Honey,” he whispered. “Vanilla and something all you.”
Kobe laughed again and wrapped his legs around his mate’s
nice tight ass. “See? Wasn’t the search worth it.”
“Yeah and now as my reward.” Dane sucked on Kobe’s neck. “I
get to wash this little body thoroughly.”
“I see no problem in that reward.” With a gasp, Kobe laughed
as Dane rose with him still attached and marched into the house.
“Love you,” Dane murmured as he pulled open the shower door
in the corner and kissed Kobe slowly.
“Love you back,” Kobe whispered against his mate’s lips then
shrieked as his mate threw him into the cold shower and ran off laughing.
“That’s what you get for making me search the fancy pants
aisle for over forty five minutes!” Dane fell over laughing as Kobe stepped out
of the shower looking like a wet cat with a scowl. “Oh…oh look at you.”
“Let’s see how funny it is when you sleep on the porch
tonight,” Kobe hissed and narrowed his eyes.
“And no…I won’t be joining you.”
“Ah come on baby. It was just a joke,” Dane pouted then
frowned as Kobe shucked off his wet jeans and got into bed—rolling away from
Dane’s eyes. “Kobe, I’m sorry it was
just a joke. Please don’t be angry with
me. Please, baby…”
Dane became distraught as he rounded the bed to plead his
way back into this mate’s good graces.
He didn’t want to sleep outside or away from Kobe and his wolf was about
freak at the thought. His mate alone and
unprotected, no way.
Kobe kept his eyes shut until he felt how upset Dane was
getting and then cracked a smile. “Gotcha!”
He sat up and laughed. Dane sighed in
relief and then narrowed his eyes at his mate.
“That wasn’t very funny.”
“Oh yeah it was. I
think you’ll remember this next time you try and pull a stunt like that. Throwing mate in the shower next time equals
lonely porch floor. Ah, get up here you
big baby. I think you’ve been tortured
enough.” Kobe grinned and flipped back the covers. Dane pulled off his jeans and his shirt and
slipped underneath the blankets. He
wrapped himself around Kobe and sighed.
“That really wasn’t funny though.”
“Yes it was.” Kobe giggled into Dane’s neck and then
squealed as his mate rolled on top of him.
“Okay okay I give!”
“Nah, I think it’s my turn for torture now.” Dane grinned
and Kobe’s eyes widened playfully.
~~~~~~
It all started with a college letter. One that Kobe’s teacher had given him as a
suggestion but the blonde had crumpled and threw under his bed because he would
never have survived without Dane for that long.
Kobe was never leaving anywhere without Dane and now thanks to that
stupid letter offering a simple college tour, he never would. Dane was his home and Kobe was all Dane had
ever needed…
THE END
