“All right?”he asked.
I raised one hand enough to flutter some fingers, all I could manage right now.
He chuckled, the bastard.“Did I actually fuck you speechless?”
I changed the finger gesture to a single middle one, which made him laugh harder.The shake of his body slipped his softening cock out of my ass.That stung a little, but not enough to notice.I expected him to get up, but instead he slid over enough to take some of his weight off me and cuddled against me.
As I lay there, still processing, he kissed my neck and the angle of my jaw.“See why I like that?”
“Um.Yeah.”
“I don’t feel lesser when I’m underneath.I don’t feel more when I top.Did you?”
I huffed.“You want deep answers after you fucked me speechless?”
Dustin settled down, his head on my shoulder.I couldn’t see his face, but I had the feeling he was smiling.
Eventually, I said, “No.That wasn’t… that had nothing to do with who was boss, or Alpha and subordinate.You were giving me pleasure and taking your own.”
“Exactly.”He nuzzled at the angle of my jaw, and I heard him sniffing, drawing in the scent of my skin.“Heterosexual wolves don’t know what they’re missing.”
That made me laugh.I wrapped my arm around him.“We’re really going to do this, aren’t we?Me and you together.”
“Absolutely.If you want to.”
“I think I’ve wanted to since I first set eyes on you years ago and knew, deep inside, you were my safe place and my adventure.”
“Huh.”Dustin stiffened, then relaxed.“Took me longer.At first, you were a kid to protect, maybe a kid facing the same shit I’d had to overcome.Once you were grown, though, yeah, I had a fantasy or two.”
“We took the long road, but here we are.Shawn’s happy with Zay, and you and me are ready to figure out our own happy.”
“I’m good at problem solving.”
I warned Dustin, “You might have to do a little of that on the apartment next door.I guess Rosswurn posted the vacancy.A family with three kids came by to check out the place yesterday.”I’d done my best to seem like the ominous, surly guy you don’t want to live next door to, although it’d pained me to scare children.
“I’ll get my application in tomorrow.Maybe offer to pay several months up front in cash.Landlords like money in hand.”
“Can you afford that?”
Dustin shrugged.“I still have an emergency fund.Not getting to be with you would be an emergency.”
I chuckled and pulled him closer, loving the way his weight pinned me to the bed.
Mate.
“Stupid wolf,” I said out loud.
“What?”
“He likes you so much, he keeps saying you’re my mate.”
“Huh.Mine does too.”Dustin closed his teeth on my shoulder, a perfect firm pressure.
My wolf hummed his pleasure.I fought the impulse to squirm and make Dustin bite me for real.“I guess we should be glad the wolf parts of us aren’t prejudiced against homosexuals.”
He laughed.“I did some research on wild wolves once, for the hell of it.There was a paper about male-male sex in wolves, like, they apparently do it too.There was even one on gay lions.”
Somehow, that didn’t surprise me.“Figures that our human halves are more screwed up than our wolves.”
