“Don’t scare me like that again.”
Theron’s heart ached at the request, knowing he couldn’t keep it as he brought his mate back to their bed. “I can’t do that, baby.”
Disappointment filled Angel’s eyes. “Why?”
Theron settled himself onto his knees, pulling at Angel’s pants, getting them off, getting him naked because the fewer clothes that were between their bodies right now, the better.
“You know why.”
Angel ducked his head, his cheeks darkening again.
“Don’t be embarrassed.”
“I’m not.”
“Or angry.”
“I’m not that either.” Angel lifted his hips when prompted, allowing Theron to get his pants off.
He’d smelled the scent of Angel’s lust the moment his mate jumped into his arms. Seeing the proof of that lust as his erection popped up, his cock gently slapping against his belly, made Theron’s already tight groin pain him.
“I don’t know what I am. I’m…frustrated.”
Theron took Angel’s dick in hand, stroking it, smiling up at him, knowing that his mate wouldn’t be able to stay angry with him for long if Theron was in the middle of getting him off.
“I can take care of some of that for you.”
Angel smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
Then it didn’t seem to matter as he closed them, his mouth dropping open as he sighed just when Theron added a touch more pressure, twisting his fist as he pumped his hand up and down, up and down.
“I can promise you that I’ll always be careful. That I’ll always do my best to come back to you. I just got you. I’m not going to screw that up.”
Angel’s breath came out heavier. “Promise?”
Theron already had, but he figured it was worth repeating. “I swear to God.”
Explaining that there was a new vampire in the house wasn’t going to be a treat, but when Theron did it, he wanted to make sure his mate was still floating on the pleasure of an orgasm. Theron didn’t want to upset him too much.
“You know, I meant to tell you this, but I didn’t know what to think about having an animal shifter for a mate, much less a wolf.”
Angel looked down at him, everything in his expression revealing how he was trying his hardest to pay attention when he was in the middle of getting his dick stroked. “You were?”
Theron nodded. “Yeah. Some animal shifters hurt me real bad. They took my brother away from me. You, on the other hand…” Theron took a moment to drink in the sight of his mate. His gorgeous mate, one that Theron was always going to be there to protect no matter what. “You’re amazing. You’re everything I could have ever wanted and more. I’m so fucking lucky to have you, and if you want me to stay safe, I will. If you want me to make love to you at all hours of the day, I’ll do that, too. Whatever you want me to do, if I’m able, I’ll do it. If it’s within my power, I’ll do it, and if it’s not, I’ll do my best to make up for it.”
Angel wet his lips. His entire face and neck seemed to be turning that same shade of red. Theron had no doubt in his mind that if he removed his mate’s shirt, he would see the same thing happening and the freckles on his chest vanishing.
“I…thank you,” Angel said. I’ll do the same for you if you like.”
Theron leaned down, letting his tongue slide across the drop of pre-cum that formed on the head of Angel’s cock. He felt the entire shaft jump just before he pulled away. “We’ll do the same for each other.”
“I’m sorry I fought the mating.” Angel leaned forward, grabbed Theron by his shirt and began pulling it up and off his head. “I shouldn’t have done that.”
“No more of that.” Theron threw the shirt away and then joined his mate on their bed. “I don’t ever want you to regret that. That’s not your fault. That will never be your fault. I understand why you were hesitant.”
Angel nodded, still looking incredibly embarrassed about the whole thing.
Theron stroked his mate’s cheek. “Just promise me this. If you ever want to go out drinking, you’ll make sure I come with you. If you want to learn about the real world, then I want to be the one to teach you about it.”
Theron heard the jump of his mate’s heart, the way it fluttered as Angel took in a deep breath. “All right. I want you with me anyway.”
That was exactly what Theron wanted to hear, and he was going to be there. He leaned down, kissing his mate on the mouth again, letting Angel taste himself on Theron’s tongue.
Theron would always be here for him.
