“Possibly, which means we need to improve security around your shop.”

“Could they be watching me because of you? Would they even know about us?”

Minho crouched and Peter watched him search the ground. “I don’t think it’s us. I saw someone here before. A young man, teenager. I actually thought he looked like Rex but you told me he was with friends studying. He came down here and disappeared into this building. I tailed him, but he disappeared.” Minho stood and looked around. “I wonder if you saw the same person.”

“Maybe. I wasn’t able to see his face, but the way he moved and ran said it was a man or male.” Shrugging, Peter headed back toward the street. “He didn’t want me to catch him.”

“If it’s the same person I followed, he wouldn’t. He met someone as well.”

“Could be this is a meeting place for a couple of teenagers who shouldn’t be out or are meeting in private? We were all young once.”

“It was a very long time ago for me.”

Peter chuckled. “I forget you’re older than I am. Doesn’t help when you look so young.” Peter looked Minho up and down, remembering how he looked naked and his body reacted. “With a strong and firm ass.”

“And completely yours. Now and always. Never forget that, my mate.” Minho pulled Peter close and Peter looked into Minho’s hazel eyes. “You are my everything, Peter. I have been yours from the moment I saw you.” Minho slid his lips over Peter’s, then deepened the kiss.

Peter sighed as they kissed, their tongues dancing together. His hands slid down Minho’s back to grab his firm ass. Minho had a body Peter could spend forever exploring and never tire of. Minho changed their positions and pushed Peter against the wall. Peter pulled Minho closer, moaning softly when Minho’s phone rang.

Growling, Minho pulled away from Peter and wrenched his phone out of his pocket. “Yes, Key.” Peter watched as Minho’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Peter as he spoke, “Peter’s just chased someone here. Can you pull up CCTV and get an ID?” Minho nodded. “Sure I’ll come in now.” Ending the call, he kissed Peter, then rested their foreheads together. “Want a lift home?”

“No, unless you have a few minutes?”

Minho grinned, kissed him again. “I wish, but I don’t. I can take you home then I have to see Key.” Peter kissed Minho back, enjoying having him close, feeling his hard body on his own. “I’ll be home soon and we can do something with this.” Minho palmed Peter’s erection, causing him to hiss and pushed up into Minho’s touch.

“Home,” Peter murmured.

“My home is with you. We haven’t actually discussed it…”

“You want us to live together so soon?” Peter moved back slightly, staring into Minho’s eyes. “Well, I guess we mated thefirst night, so it makes sense. I need to think about the boys, though.”

“I understand. I’m going too fast—”

“No, you’re not. I want you with me, so we’ll make this work.” Kissing quickly, Peter murmured, “Go and see Key, then come home to me. I’ll be waiting for you.” Minho returned his kiss and when Peter opened his eyes, he stood in his bedroom. Minho smiled then left, leaving Peter alone. Hearing movement downstairs, he shouted, “Rex?”

“Are you upstairs? Did Minho drop you off?”

Jogging downstairs, which was strangely easier than before his mating, Peter walked into the kitchen and found Rex sitting at the kitchen table. “Homework?”

“More like torture. Why do I go to school, then come home and do work as well?”

“Because that’s what you do. If you go to college like Sammy, you’ll have more of this.”

Rex glanced away. “I haven’t decided.”

“I know, but you’ll have to soon unless you don’t want to go.”

“I have things to deal with.”

“Like what?” Peter sat at the table and waited for Rex to answer, but all he did was gather up his homework and shove it in his bag. “Rex? Are you okay?”

“Just a lot going on with school right now. I’m gonna get an early night.”

Shaking his head, Peter watched Rex leave. “I don’t remember being like this when I was his age.”

Chapter Eleven

Minho appeared next to Key, who screamed, then punched his leg. “A bell or maybe a call to say ‘I’m coming now!’ I’m sick of having half my life scared off me by you guys!”
