“Not directly. He thinks you're good mate material, but he isn’t pushing me to claim you. I assume you already know this, but it’s safer if we avoid face to face penetration, and my bedroom is off limits unless we’re going to mate. I won’t pressure you, or try to trick you into anything, so we’re safe if we take a few precautions.”
Zak also heard what the man didnotsay—that Orrin would readily mate with him right now if he was willing. He wasn’t ready yet, but Orrin surely knew that and had decided not to make it an issue. What they had so far was good, very good, but was it the beginning of forever? Zak couldn’t answer that question, and his scent must have revealed his inner turmoil to Orrin.
“Don’t overthink things. Live in the now and enjoy what we have. If we truly belong together, there won’t be any doubts when the time comes.”
Zak kissed him, stroking his still-damp hair.
“You’re right, and beautiful, and smart, and all mine. Why don’t we get up and have a snack before bed? I’m sure there’s something in the kitchen that would hit the spot.”
Orrin responded with a rumbly growl.
“Mmmm… you have something between your legs that hit my spot very nicely, thank you. Come on, handsome, we have things to do before I can cuddle up with you all night.”
Zak liked the idea.
“You’ll have to show me how it's done, but I think I have the general idea. Now get your gorgeous ass in the shower so I can play with it some more.”

Early the next morning, January31st.
Orrin awoke around five a.m. as usual, though with Zak wrapped around him. He wanted to stay right where he was and wallow in the man’s scent and warmth. They both had responsibilities, however, which meant there was just enough time for a bit of suck and tug before parting. Orrin turned so he and Zak were face to face and used his agile tongue to nibble at the man’s pierced left earlobe while he stroked Zak’s quickly hardening cock. A couple of moans later, bright blue eyes popped open, and he smiled.
“Good morning. If I had an alarm clock like this, I’d never get up. What do we have time for?”
Orrin tugged Zak farther down the bed, and then flipped around so they were staring at each other’s morning wood.
“Sixty-nine. First one to cum has to change the sheets!”
Zak’s laugh was cut short when Orrin swallowed him to the root and began to suck. The game was on, though each would receive a prize in the end. Orrin upped the ante by zooming in on Zak’s hefty nuts, massaging them and tugging on the smooth sack while his wicked tongue stroked and squeezed. Going for the money shot, Zak slid two digits in Orrin’s back passage and gave his prostate an intensive workout while he focused on the meaty crown—carefully dragging his teeth over the sensitive frenulum.
It was torture trying to remain on task while their own dicks were being serviced with such gusto, but neither man considered backing down—until Orrin deep-throated Zak and began to purr. Startled by the unfamiliar sensation, Zak’s cock fired off a hot creamy load even as he struggled to bring Orrin along withhim. The sneaky shifter eventually grunted his way through an orgasm within a few seconds, pleased to have won the contest and disappointed that their fun was over.
Orrin flipped around for a few lazy kisses, even as their cocks stiffened for more action. Zak couldn’t seem to get enough and finally groaned in frustration.
“Can’t we just stop time and stay here?”
Orrin’s contented purr spoke volumes, yet he managed a few words anyway.
“I wish we could, and I’ll be thinking about you all day. Let me help you with the bed.”
The pair made quick work of the sheets and then showered together without any of the fun stuff. They dressed and headed out, though Orrin mentioned that he could drive the next time and save Zak the trouble of picking him up and taking him home. It was a very short trip, so Orrin only had time for one question.
“So, what are we doing on Sunday? Rayn and Kip will be pestering me for details, and I have no idea what to tell them.”
Zak grinned as he pulled around the back of the house to let Orrin out.
“Tell them it’s a surprise. Give me a call before bed on Saturday, and I’ll fill you in.”
With a final smooch, the lovers reluctantly parted, counting the hours until they could see one another again.
Chapter 16
Friday afternoon
While Tasha held down the fort, Orrin drove the sedan toDeliciousto pick up treats for the little ones. It might also be an ideal time to speak to Aiden, if he was working today. With Toby, Leo, and Serena running things now, Aiden had finally started working less and spending more time with his mate. As luck would have it, the man was at the counter when he stepped into the warm, fragrant shop—all decked out for Valentines Day with hearts and cupids.
In the past he’d had no particular reason to acknowledge the holiday, but this year he did, and ideas began queuing up in his head. Orrin waited patiently, looking over the seasonal offerings as Aiden and Serena helped other customers. There were always new confections on display, providing a creative outlet for Aiden and giving customers something different to taste and purchase. Orrin found himself staring at a lovely display of two overlapping heart-shaped chocolates, joined in the middle with a red candy bow. Aiden’s greeting snapped him out of his sweet-induced stupor.
