“Now I want to haul you into my bed and fuck you,” Dustin said.“But those damned Chicago wolves will be all over this apartment tomorrow.So we’ll be best off making sure your scent is nowhere to be found in my bedroom, and the smell of cum is minimized anywhere.”
“I know how to swallow,” I told him.“And the shower has a drain.”
“I like that idea.”Dustin reached into the tub, turned the water warm, and pulled the curtain shut against the steam.
“Get those clothes off,” I growled, my dick hardening in my jeans.“I want to see you naked and soaking wet in fifteen seconds.”
Dustin chuckled and tugged down his zipper.“And Rick thought I was the Alpha.”
I didn’t want to boss him around, except in play.“Does there need to be an Alpha between us?”
“No.”Dustin paused, his pants hanging open on his hips, and hugged me, kissing me thoroughly.“I think we’re fine just the way we are.Now let’s get naked, and clean, and mutually blown.After that, anything sensitive from my office, including the freeway project evidence, we can pack to put in my car, and you drive it back up to Darville.I’ll rent a truck, pack the rest of my stuff with the furry assholes’ assistance, and follow you in three days.”
“You don’t want me to help?Or stick around in case the Alpha decides he really doesn’t want to let you go?”I’d just spent three days without Dustin and didn’t want to do it again.And I hadn’t liked the hint of greed when the Alpha looked at him.
“Don’t worry about the Alpha.He may not like to admit it, but he knows a coerced Fixer would be a disaster.While I’d love your help, I don’t want one of the Chicago wolves to see the way I react to you.I’m good at lying, but three days of pretending I don’t want to eat your ass would challenge even me.”
“Oh!”My cock tried to break my zipper from the inside.
“You like that idea?”
“I’ve never…” I was already whipping off my clothes.
His tone dropped to a low whisper.“There are so many things I can’t wait to show you.Before I blow you, I’m going to see if you like a tongue up your ass.”
For the record, the answer wasyes, hell yes, lick me that way anytime!Dustin drove me right to the edge with his face at my ass, then blew my dick with two fingers stuffed inside me, and I was lucky I had wolf reflexes because I almost collapsed in the slippery tub, coming my brains out.I went to sleep on his couch deeply satisfied, if resentful for having to be there alone.
Early morning arrived far too soon.We kissed urgently, then softly, as the coffee brewed, but we’d planned for me to get clear before sunrise, and time was ticking.I fetched the car while Dustin selected the things he wanted out of the Alpha’s sight, and for fifteen minutes, we jogged in and out of the door, loading his backseat and trunk.
“You be careful,” I murmured when we’d finished, lingering for another moment by the driver’s door in the pre-dawn gloom.No doubt, some Chicago wolf lurked out there in the shadows, watching and listening.They’d keep us under twenty-four-hour surveillance as long as we were in the Alpha’s territory.I didn’t dare say any of the words that wanted to escape.
“No worries.”Dustin smiled, holding out his hand.“Drive safe.I’ll see you in three days.”
With the certainty of hostile eyes on us, all I could do was shake hands like a casual friend and drive away, leaving him to deal with the Chicago wolves.
Chapter 13
Dustin
I rolled down the back door of the U-Haul truck and made sure the latch was fully engaged.Behind me, the last two of the Chicago wolves, Rick and their Third, Nathan, watched me silently.I locked the office door behind me and held out the keys to Rick.“Since you’re claiming this as your territory, I assume you’ll protect the property until the landlord does his inspection and lets me off the lease.”
Nathan swiped the keys from my hand.“That’s for Alpha to decide.”
“I will trust your Alpha’s sense of honor, then.”I bowed my head as if in respect.
The Third made a sour face but slipped the key ring into his pocket.
“I’ll call you,” I told Rick, ignoring the Third again.“It’ll take me a few weeks to find a location in a new town, get a phone and an office.Once my new darkroom’s ready, we’ll start with a session on photo-manipulation.Unless your Fixer already covered those techniques with you?”
“Only the basics,” Rick said.“Sounds like a plan.”
I gave them both a jaunty wave as I swung up into the cab of the truck.“Thanks for all the heavy lifting.See you around.”
I wasn’t surprised to see a sports car pull out from a parking space down the block and fall in behind me.I figured the Alpha would have more than one of his men see me out of his territory.I waved at them out the open truck window as I turned onto the freeway heading north.They stuck with me for a mile, then took the next exit ramp.
Odds were, there was another car behind them that I wasn’t supposed to see.Evasion didn’t make sense, because I was heading home and they knew where that was, so I simply waved behind me a couple of minutes later on principle.I hadn’t spotted which one of the trailing cars they were in, but they didn’t need to know that.
It only occurred to me a few miles down the road that I’d thought of Darville as home.No, actually, I’d thought of Wade as home.No lie.I hadn’t had a true home in a lot of years, but this felt right, all the way to my core.Pack.Home,my wolf agreed.
