Which was why I was here in the alpha house with a group of guys I considered my big brothers. I knew they’d help me, but they were going to tease me until they brought out that splotchy red blush I hated so much. Still, I didn’t have much choice, so, taking a deep breath, I told myself to man up and do it.

“Um, I need help with something, alphas.”

“You know, Ty, you don’t need to call us by our titles. You’re practically our little brother, and if you find your mate tomorrow, it might even be—”

“That’s kind of what I need help with,” I interrupted Alpha Jay, then swallowed hard. “I’m not convinced I’ll be gifted with a mate, but, uh, on the off chance I am, could you tell me about… Ahem. Tell me about mating?”

“Aw! You hear that?” Alpha Wyatt crowed. “Our little pup’s all grown up!”

My cheeks and ears burned already, and I dropped my face into my hands, although the coolness of my palms did little to soothe the heat radiating from my skin.

It make girls go coo,River beamed at me.

Yeah, that doesn’t help with the blushing, Riv.

But it do. Blush make girls go coo.

“All right, Tyler.” Alpha Wyatt rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with mischief. “It’s time to tell you all about Mr. Penis and his amazing pup-making juice.”

I blinked, my mouth falling open in disbelief. The room erupted in laughter, the sound bouncing off the walls, except for Alpha Mase, who kept his usual stone-face and only rolled his eyes.

“I know how my penis works, thank youverymuch,” I ground out through my teeth. “What I want to know is how to, um. I mean, I want to know how to, ah, satisfymymatesoIdon’tdisappointher.”

Then I covered my head with both arms and folded over my knees, wishing I could disappear into the bean bag chair under me.

“Comeagain?” Alpha Wyatt snickered. “That washardto understand. Are you sure you’reupfor this conversation? Maybe it’stoo bigfor you tohandle.”

I strangled on embarrassment, knowing my whole head glowed red now, and the warmth spread down my neck, making me feel like I was on fire.

“Stop teasing him, Wy,” Alpha Mase rumbled. “This is difficult enough for him.”

“And it took a lot of courage to come here and ask,” Alpha Jay added.

“Andour mate is going to tan your hide if you don’t stop,” Alpha Cole warned him.

“All right, all right,” Alpha Wyatt gave in. “So I guess it’s the Miss Clit talk instead.”

Miss who?

Me not know,River shrugged.

I raised my head from my hiding spot, my curiosity piqued despite being mortified by this whole topic.

“What’s a clit?”

The grin that spread across Alpha Wyatt’s face was scarier than any of River’s explosions had ever been.

“Oh, little Ty-Ty,” he smirked as he cracked his knuckles, the sound echoing ominously in the room, “we haveso muchto teach you.”

Thank the Goddess, Alpha Mase took over, his expression as serious as it ever was.

“All right, Ty, here’s the deal. The clit, or clitoris, is a very sensitive part of a woman’s anatomy. It’s crucial for her pleasure. It’s not only about stimulating it, though. It’s about understanding what she needs and paying attention to her reactions.”

“Exactly,” Alpha Ash chimed in, not even teasing this time. “You need to communicate with your mate. Every woman is different, and what works for one might not work for another. Be patient, be attentive, and make sure she’s comfortable.”

“And remember, it’s not a race,” Alpha Jay added. “Take your time and make her feel loved and cherished.”

“And when it’s over, you have to cuddle and kiss her and say sweet words,” Alpha Cole said. “Foreplay arouses her body, but aftercare soothes her heart and soul.”
