Well, when he put it that way.
“Emotions aren’t always logical.” Yes. That was a good response. A good start at the very least. “And you’re very smart.”
Was that part of why he was frustrated? He was highly intelligent but sometimes that didn’t help in real-life situations.
Smarts seemed to make real life worse from what I’d seen.
“Take a breath and think back about what I said about wanting a mate.” Malik reached up and started stroking his hand over my head, the large spread of his fingers making me feel tiny. “I know this has been a lot to take in when you were already at capacity, but I couldn’t hide it from you.”
“No. That wouldn’t have worked out well.” I’d have felt… no, that wouldn’t have been good to spring on me later. “You made the right call even if it is entirely too early to function.”
Malik tried not to smile but not very hard. “I bet when you’ve been getting enough sleep that you have a terrible schedule and stay up working half the night.”
Agreeing with him seemed like a bad idea, so I rocked closer to give him a kiss instead of answering verbally. It made him chuckle but he wasn’t frustrated with me. “Brat.”
Sometimes but it got me more kisses and he even nibbled on my lower lip as I rocked my dick against his sexy body. My cock appreciated the direction our conversation had taken, but before we could get too distracted, Malik released my lips.
Shoot.
“You’re a very sexy distraction but we’re going to work out one or two more things now that I know your brain is active.” His tone was sweet but there was a hint of no nonsense, so I gave up and pouted. “You’re adorable but you’re not going to distract me yet.”
Hmm.
“Does that mean I get to distract you soon?” He was my mate, so that seemed to mean our timeline could be adjusted.
“If you would like to distract me, I would love to hear what you’d like.” Still running his hand over my head, he used the slightly rougher pads of his fingertips to massage my scalp and sent tingly pleasure through me.
His smile said he knew what he was doing to me but he stayed on target. “Do you understand that we’re mates and that means we belong together? We’re going to need time to learn about each other and figure out the practical side of things, but I want to make sure we’re both on the same page.”
Logical was sweet but I really shouldn’t have climbed on him because having him under me was incredibly distracting.
Oops.
A hand coming down on my bottom said I hadn’t been subtle about how distracted I was.
“Focus.”
Ugh.
“Yes, Sir.” What had he asked? Mates. Yes. “I understand we’re mates and what that means. I wasn’t expecting to have one but I’m not uninformed.”
That seemed to help the situation because he rubbed over the spot he’d just spanked and gave it a squeeze as I moaned softly. “Good boy. Do you want another? Keep talking and let me hear what you’re thinking and I’ll give you another.”
Rewards.
Yes
Resting my face against his chest, I nodded and soaked up the warmth from his body as I tried to think. “It means we’re designed to complement each other and we’re… we’re basically given our perfect match as long as we don’t fuck it up with free will.”
That was a bitch sometimes.
Malik chuckled but he brought his hand down again sending sparks of pleasure showering through me. “Good boy. No free will fuckups here. We’re going to communicate and do our best to help our relationship grow. We’ve been given a great gift and we’re not going to ignore that.”
With great gifts come great homework.
“Yes. We’re going to talk about things like limits and figure out what we want our future to look like. Needs. Wants. Practical things.” The hard work bits that made relationships work in the long run. “But I like knowing why I was so drawn to you and why I kept imagining living with you and just assuming we’d have a life together. I’m not usually that pushy.”
His chest jerked in silent laughter but he kissed the top of my head and gave me another spank. “I agree. It’s nice to understand where those slightly irrational desires came from, but I knew you were going to fit into my life the first time you were Little.”
