I silenced him with a finger on his lips. “You didn’t ask. I offered because it’s what I want to do. You are my family now, little mate.Youare more important to me than they are. Yes, I still love them immensely, but you are my mate.” I removed my fingers and then leaned down and kissed a surprised Charlie. I knew it was going to take time, and time I had, But eventually, Iwould get through to him that he was worthy of love and having someone be proud to have them in their life. Specifically, me.
“That’s going to take some getting used to.”
I nodded in agreement. “It is. But we’ll get there eventually. How about we get cleaned up here in the shower, then go and see about eating that cake we brought home? I don’t think I have any ice cream, but we can run out and get some really quick if you want ice cream with your cake.”
Charlie shook his head. “I like it, but I’d rather not go out.”
That sounded perfect to me. I gently moved Charlie back into the spray and then started rubbing my fingers through his scalp. Almost immediately, he moaned and closed his eyes while leaning his head back a bit. The desire to bend down and nibble on his neck was almost overwhelming, but I knew we needed to finish up in the shower. I could see just how much I could make him squirm later. Would his neck be a hot spot for him? I sure hoped so because his neck looked to be made for nibbling on.
“What are you thinking right now?”
I focused on Charlie and smiled. “You. Why?”
Charlie smirked, and then his hand wrapped around my dick. I looked down and realized that it was half-hard again. Well, it was until Charlie started stroking it. It was my turn to tilt my head back and moan. That felt so damn amazing. Who knew that the simple act of your mate stroking your cock could feel better than any hand ever had?
Chapter Ten
Charlie
There was definitely something about having a sexy gorilla shifter as your mate. You could finally get to experience shower sex, and then, after eating delicious chocolate cake, sex against the wall in his bedroom.
I passed out after that, and Silver must have cleaned me up because we were currently in his freshly made bed. If the light coming in through the open blinds was any indication, it was morning. Mid-morning. But that wasn’t what had woken me. I’d heard a noise.
“Shit,” Silver mumbled seconds before his bedroom door was pushed open.
“All right. Fess up. We smell…oh shit.”
I had just pulled the blanket up over my head when the words died off. Silver was up and out of bed, growling, and if that wasn’t sexy, I didn’t know what was. I heard the door shut somewhat forcefully, and I took that opportunity to toss the blanket back and then make a mad dash for the bathroom.
I didn’t know if it was appropriate for me to just hop in the shower when it wasn’t technically my place, and it was obvious that Silver had company, and I’d bet anything that it was at least some of his brothers. How would Silver feel about his newly claimed mate being in the shower while his brothers were downstairs?
Not sure what to do, I opted to go to the toilet and take care of business there. I knew it would take time to get used to doing things of this nature around Silver, but I was glad he wasn’t here for things. I’d finished and was washing my hands and wondering if he had a spare toothbrush I could have when he returned. He was naked, and it was then that I realized that he’d most likely taken off after his brother or brothers like that.
“Sorry about that,” Silver said while rubbing the back of his neck.
“That’s all right. I have a sister; I know how siblings can be.”
“Yeah. I’ve taken my key back from both of them and warned them to let the other two know that I want my keys back. I’ll be getting my spare from Ma as well.”
I know my eyes widened. I loved Sam, but she didn’t have a key to my cottage. I guess that was an extreme difference between our two families.
“Sam doesn’t have a key to my place, so we wouldn’t have to worry about her just showing up. But yeah, I don’t think you’d fit into my place all that well.”
Silver moved closer and ran his fingers down the side of my face. “No, I wouldn’t. We are going to need to figure out the logistics of where we’re planning on living though. I need to have you near me. Not just because I want to hold you at night while sleeping either. My gorilla isn’t going to want you too far out of our sight for a little while.”
I opened my mouth to complain, but Silver seemed to already know what I was going to say because he cut me off.
“I am not going to have issues with you going to work. I won’t even have a problem with you hanging out with friends. But my gorilla will not like it if you are sleeping at your place and I’m here.”
“Oh.” I glanced around the gorgeous bathroom. “I mean, it’s not like it would be such a hardship to have to stay here,” I told him. It truly wouldn’t. I knew we were going to have an adjustment period, but we were mates, and hopefully, that meant we would be able to work things out easily enough.
“You are more than welcome to move in here with me. We can start today if you’d like, but that’s completely up to you.”
Was he for real? “Yeah,” I said without thinking. That was obviously the absolute correct answer for Silver because immediately, his face lit up, and he seemed to spring into action.
“Did you want to shower first? I know I don’t have anything here that will fit you, but I’m more than happy to give you a pair of my sweats and a T-shirt.”
I wrinkled my nose. Not because I didn’t want to wear Silver’s clothes. I was sure that when I was heavily pregnant with his baby…I froze at that thought. Oh. That’s right. I was an omega, and he was an alpha. I was going to end up pregnant. We had talked about this. Hadn’t we?
