Page 20 of All Night Long

Furrowing his brow at his own behavior, Gray immediately sat up. “Leaving so soon?” Henry drawled as he rolled onto his back. Grimacing, he glared at Gray. “No condom again?”

“Don’t need them and we’re mates, so no point in using them. Not like I can knock you up.”

“Diseases? Ever thought about them?” As Henry stood, Gray saw his come on the back of Henry’s thighs and ass and felt his body respond. He somehow didn’t think Henry would let him fuck him again, so he exhaled and ran a hand over his face.

“Don’t catch them and can’t pass them on either. You’re safe.”

“I only have your word for that.”

Gray sighed heavily. “Why would I lie to you? We’re mates, so you’re it for me. I’m not going to do anything that will harm you. It would be the same as hurting myself.”

Henry stared at him for a few seconds, then shook his head and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.When Gray heard the lock engage, he slumped back on the bed. This mating thing was shit. Whoever said it was the best thing ever, finding your mate, was a liar. Gray hated it, but he had to deal with it the best he could, and that included his human mate, who was also struggling to deal with it.

He heard a noise by the front door and sat back up as footsteps approached the bedroom. When a tall, slim man walked in, Gray stood, not caring that he was naked. The man looked him up and down, licked his lips, then smiled. “Well, hello.”

“Well, fuck off.”

The man frowned. “That isn’t nice.”

“I don’t care. Who the fuck are you, and why are you here?”

The man shook his head, his dark spiky hair barely moving. His dark eyes lingered on Gray’s dick. “Henry has good taste.”

“Well, he is with me.”

“Hmm and had you, too.” The man slid his jacket off and walked over to Gray. He lifted a hand to touch him, but Gray intercepted it. “Come on. Henry’s had you and sometimes we like to share.”

“Sometimes, but not today or ever again. Henry is mine and I don’t share.”

A soft chuckle ghosted over Gray’s skin. “No, Henry is mine and you’re a fuck.”

“A fuck that’s going to keep on fucking his man. Not you.”

“Jess. What are you doing here?” Henry stood by the open bathroom door, a towel wrapped around his waist.

“I came to see you. You haven’t been answering my calls or messages, so I came over.” Looking at Gray, Jess grinned. “I can see why now. He is nice.”

“He is right here, and he is taken by him.” Gray pointed at Henry. “He’s mine and you can fuck off.”

Jess sighed and shook his head, a small smile on his lips. “He doesn’t know, does he, Henry? Such a shame. I wouldn’t mindgetting my hands on you and my dick in you.” Jess leaned to one side to glance at Gray’s ass, and Gray pushed him away.

“Leave or I will make you leave.”

“Is he this aggressive in bed?” Jess shivered. “I do like a man who takes charge on occasion, but I’m the one in charge.”

“Jess, please leave.”

Jess frowned and glanced between Gray and Henry. Gray watched, becoming frustrated that the former boyfriend—who was a fucking idiot—was still in the bedroom with his mate. “Yeah. Fuck off.”

“Gray. I need a minute alone with Jess.”

Gray glared at Henry. His mate was telling him to leave. Okay. He grinned and disappeared into the living room. He kept on grinning when he heard Jess shout. “In here good enough?” he shouted.

Henry stormed into the living room and stabbed a finger into his chest. “You fucking idiot. Why the fuck did you do that?”

“What the hell are you?” Jess stood by the bedroom door, his eyes wide. “What… how…”

“I can sort him out,” Gray paused, then added, “Mate.”
