Page 26 of Thor's Unexpected Mate

“Y-You do?”

“Yeah. And don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” He looked me dead in the eye. “I won’t tell anyone that you’re having thoughts about men.”

“O-Oh…” I didn’t know what to say.

“I know it’s hard when you’re first discovering this part of yourself. We’ve all gone through it. So don’t worry, I won’t out you to your family or anyone in the resort. Whatever happens here in this room is between you and me only.” He gave me a soft smile, patting me on the shoulder. “And don’t worry, no matter what happens between us, I’m not asking you to be in a relationship with me. This can just be a summer fling where I have some fun and you get a safe place to explore this new side of yourself. At the end of the two weeks, we can part ways as friends, and you can go back to living how you always did if that’s what you want. Your secret is safe with me, Thor.”

I stared at him for a long moment. He was completely wrong about my secret of course, but I could tell he was being genuine. He didn’t know that same-sex coupling amongst wolves was fairly common. However, there were certain situations, like my own, that required me to produce an heir and that just couldn’t be done with two males. So, while it wasn’t necessarily taboo for two males to mate, it wasn’t exactly conducive to creating a larger pack.

That look in his eye though told me he was serious. He’d go out of his way to keep anything that happened between us a secret. And maybe, just maybe, that would be enough to keep everyone off my tail. But that part about him leaving at the end of the two weeks… that made my heart hurt. Losing my mate was a terrible thought, but even I knew that we couldn’t be together forever. Two weeks would have to be enough for me because that’s all I could feasibly give him. There were enemy wolves on my borders, a father to avenge, and my pack to keep safe. I just didn’t have time for a mate that broke every werewolf rule in existence.

Maybe, before I gave the rest of my life to the pack, I could allow myself this one moment of selfishness. It was probably the last I’d ever get.

Letting out a deep sigh, I nodded. “Okay,” I said at last. “But nobody can know.”

Flynn lifted his hands to his lips, making a locking motion. “My lips are sealed. Your secret is safe with me.”

He started toward me, but I stopped him. “But I want you to know… I’m not ashamed of it,” I added, unable to help myself. “I don’t think it’s wrong to be attracted to another man. I just… I don’t know if my family would–”

“I get it,” Flynn nodded. “And don’t worry, I won’t take it personally.” He reached out, cupping my cheek. “Now will you please kiss me?”

“O-Okay.”

I took a deep breath in a vain attempt to steady my nerves. Flynn closed his eyes and leaned forward. I met him halfway, our lips pressing together at last.

Fireworks erupted all across my body as each nerve tingled with pleasure. I couldn’t stop the hands that lifted to his sides, my thick fingers wrapping around his tiny waist as I pulled him closer. I growled in delight, crushing myself against him. The wolf inside me was practically doing backflips. Although I was trying to concentrate on the delicate dance our tongues were doing against one another, I had to spend most of my attention keeping the wolf at bay. If I let him out, there was no doubt in my mind that I’d breed this boy right here and now in this bed. Then there would be no going back.

So, long before I was ready to let go, I pulled myself away from Flynn. His beautiful green eyes flashed open, and he gave me a sort of breathless sigh. I couldn’t help lifting a hand and running my fingers through his gorgeous auburn hair. He was so unbelievably beautiful, and I wanted to worship every inch of him.

“Wow,” he said at last. “You’re a really good kisser.”

“Oh. Thanks.”

“Where did you learn to do that?”

“I didn’t,” I replied shyly. “That’s just how I’ve always done it.”

“A natural talent then,” he smirked. Then, with a nod, he went back to his side of the bed, leaning his back against the headboard. “Alright, a deal’s a deal. You kept up your end and now it’s my turn.”

Without a moment’s notice, he reached down and grabbed the hem of the t-shirt and yanked it over his head. He sent it sailing to the floor and I felt my jaw nearly hit the ground as I stared at the beautiful sight in front of me. Flynn was more gorgeous than I could ever imagine. In the shower I’d only caught faraway glimpses of him. But now he was lying here in all his glory, his legs spread slightly to give me the best view I could ever ask for.

He was lithe from head to toe, his muscles flexing under his skin as he got comfortable. There was a small splash of red hair over his chest that melted downward into a trail leading to his groin. It flared out slightly into a well-groomed manscape. But I forgot about that the moment my gaze landed on his cock.

It was gorgeous. His skin remained pale, showing the thick vein at the top of his shaft. His cock had a slight curve upward ending in a thick pink head. His balls hung low and heavy. He wasn’t as big as me, but I found that didn’t matter to me at all. It still looked delicious, and I wanted it in my mouth. But that wasn’t the deal for tonight, so I had to keep myself in check.

“Do… Do I just sit here and watch?” I asked.

“If that’s what you want.” He flashed me a sly grin. “But I have a better idea if you’re open to it.”

“Sure.”

“Why don’t you take off those shorts and sit next to me? I’d like to see what you look like too.” He gave me a good once over. “And I love tattoos, by the way. Very hot.”

“Thanks,” I grinned. “Alright. I can join you I guess.”

I stood up and hooked my thumbs in my shorts, but was suddenly overtaken by a burst of nervousness.

“This… is gonna sound stupid…” I glanced over at him. “Uh… I’ve had some people tell me that I’m… well… too big.”
