his knuckles.
Bennett swallowed at the familiar gesture. An alpha always does his duty.
Come on then, pup, Marsdon said. Come and do your duty by me. He slid his
hand into Bennett s hand and tugged gently.
Bennett stayed where he was. Don t call me that. You said you wanted to ease my
way with the other wolves what do you think they ll think of me if they hear that?
He had a point. He couldn t expect others to understand what the word really meant
between them. Only ever when we are alone, Marsdon promised.
It wasn t enough of a compromise. Bennett tried to take his hand back, but Marsdon
held onto it.
Come to bed, he coaxed, walking backwards and keeping hold of Bennett s hand.
His mate gave in, but the look in his eyes was resignation, not pleasure, as Marsdon
led him up to the room they d shared earlier. He nudged Bennett to the bathroom that led off
the room and occupied himself with turning down the bed.
By the time they d exchanged places and Marsdon had taken his turn into the
bathroom, Bennett had stripped down to his bare skin, but the turned down sheets hadn t
tempted him. His pup had moved across the room to stare out of the window rather than
approach the bed.

Marsdon shrugged his own clothes off, putting them with Bennett s before
approaching the slightly younger wolf. His mind was starting to understand that it was not
truly the right time to hope his mate would wish to bond with him.
His body had no inclination to understand. His pup was back with him. Bennett was
his mate. Now that the leather was stripped away, he could see that the man he d told
himself he could never have for more than a few hours was indeed a true alpha a wolf he
could spend the rest of his life with. His cock curved back to his stomach, eager and aching
with need.
Marsdon placed his hand on Bennett s shoulder. The other man tensed but didn t turn
towards him. His fingers clenched on the wooden window sill. Marsdon put his other hand
on Bennett s other shoulder. The moonlight falling in through the glass highlighted the way
his Adam s apple bobbed when he swallowed down his nerves.
Marsdon took half a step forward, until they were almost touching. He leant forward
and pressed a kiss against Bennett s bare shoulder. Closing his eyes, he pushed aside his
desire to order Bennett to keep that position. It would have been so easy to nudge his lover s
feet further apart and line his body up tight against him.
Bennett was so tense it would have taken a lot of care and time to make him ready, but
seeing him squirm around his fingers as he turned diligent preparations into teasing would
have made the minutes rush past. The reward of burying his cock inside Bennett s hole, in
feeling the other man s muscles tense and flex around him as they begged him to move
would have made the time well spent.
Come to bed? he whispered instead, taking great care to make it a request rather
than an order.
Bennett turned and walked past him to the bed. What do you want? he asked, as he
stopped beside it.
It was a good question to ask, and a very hard question to answer. Giving up on
words, Marsdon guided him onto the bed instead. Bennett went along with it. His confidence
boosted a little by Bennett s compliance, Marsdon joined him on the bed and encouraged his
pup to lie back and relax against the soft pillows.
He hadn t offered his lover a great deal of comfort over their meetings in the club.
Bennett didn t seem at all sure about any of it. Marsdon pulled the blankets up over them

both. He let his hands rest on the blanket that covered Bennett s skin for a moment. Then,
holding back a sigh, he forced himself to retreat back to his side of the mattress.
Bennett turned to look at him, a frown gathering between his brows.
When you are ready to do more, we will, Marsdon said.
You mean, when I m ready to submit to you? Bennett snapped, pushing irritably at
the blanket.
Marsdon reached out and touched his cheek. When you can look me in the eye and
tell me it means more to you than the fulfilling of a duty, he corrected.
Bennett jerked away from his touch.
You re obviously exhausted, Marsdon excused. If you ve slept as little as I have
over the last nights, it s little wonder.
Bennett stared past him, apparently not even willing to echo his admission in case it
would be taken as a sign of weakness, a sign of not being a true alpha.
Marsdon hesitated, not sure what he could ask of his mate right then, not sure how to [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
