“Like what you see? Go ahead and touch. I want to feel your hands on me.”
Gray couldn’t refuse an offer like that and reached out to glide warm palms over bulging biceps and pecs. Though Nick’s skin tone was similar to Gray’s, his unusually large and dark nipples screamed for attention. The man growled and hissed in pleasure as Gray’s soft fingertips paused to play for a moment, raising hard, responsive points.
“Mmmm… Me gusta esoI (I like that). They’re really sensitive, and I’ll go crazy if you suck on them. Remember that for later, but now it’s your turn.”
While he wanted to literally rip the white polo shirt from Gray’s body, Nick carefully undid the buttons and tugged it over hishead. His mate’s waist-length hair formed a silky black curtain that hid everything, and he brushed it back to see and feel Gray’s ropey-muscled, hairless chest and arms. The man was magnificent to look at, about two inches taller and maybe fifteen pounds heavier. Gray’s shoulders and torso were wider than Nick’s, too, and it made him look larger and more imposing.
By this time, Nick’s pheromones had filled the room, and though Gray could only detect a small part of his scent, it left his human mate aroused and eager. Nick decided to take things a step further.
“Let’s get naked. Is that all right?”
Wide-eyed and breathing heavily, Gray managed a jerky nod. Nick hurriedly discarded his footwear and motioned for his mate to do the same. Now came the good part, and Gray reached out with shaky hands to remove the jeans from Nick’s narrow waist. He’d never undressed anyone before, and the blush returned with a vengeance. Nick’s saucy wink encouraged him to continue, and Gray popped the button, lowered the zipper, and tugged lightly until the jeans slid to the floor.
As Nick stepped out of them, Gray noticed the man’s heavily muscled thighs, lightly covered with dark hair. The real prize, however, lay behind a revealing pair of royal blue, open mesh boxers that left little to the imagination. Nick laughed as Gray gaped at the naughty choice of underwear.
“Cool and sexy, right? Take ‘em off, mate.”
Gray obeyed, fully revealing Nick’s hefty package. As expected, the gorgeous Omega shifter sported a girthy cock, nestled amid a sparse triangle of pitch-black pubes. Further down, he found a heavy set of balls swinging in a hairless sack. The urge to touchwas strong, revealed by a sudden surge of pheromones that got Nick growling again.
Without another word, he divested Gray of his knee-length shorts and tighty-whities. He was gifted for a human, with a long, slim cock and pair of nuts that Nick wanted to suckle. A tantalizing treasure trail led from just above Gray’s navel to a dense thicket of silky black curls—striking against an otherwise hairless torso. Nick hummed lustily in appreciation.
“¡Qué hermoso! Te quiero, Gray.” (So gorgeous! I want you, Gray).
Nick’s wolf howled for less gazing and more grazing, prompting Nick to gather Gray in his arms for heated kisses. Roving hands led to some cock-to-cock friction, inching them dangerously close to their first orgasms. Unable to restrain himself or his wolf any longer, Nick picked up his surprised mate and carried him to the bed. Laid out like a feast, Nick kneeled between Gray’s splayed legs, eyes glowing with desire.
“You’ll like this.”
That was all the warning he got before Nick’s hot, wet mouth engulfed Gray’s throbbing dick, prompting a surprised gasp and moans of pleasure. While he worked over the glans with lips and tongue, one hand fisted the uncircumcised shaft while the other teased Gray’s perineum and balls. As intended, his mate quickly surrendered to the assault by filling Nick’s skilled mouth with cum. Growling while he drank it all down, his superior taste buds parsed out Gray’s unique flavor for the first time.
Catching his breath, Gray watched through hooded eyes as Nick stroked his own cock, teased erect nipples, and tugged on his balls. Before he could make an offer, Nick let him know exactly what he wanted.
“Let me show you how I like my blowjobs. I need to cum or I’ll explode!”
Nick’s humor and comfort in his own skin helped Gray loosen up, and the eager student soon had his new mate shouting a release in his native tongue. Aside from some basic Spanish, there was a lot more to learn about, and from, the patient, fun-loving man. And, they were off to a very pleasant start indeed.

Meanwhile…
After lunch, Ben and Evan took Marie and Kiah home with them so that Jack and William could have some private time together. As the kids played, they met with Dante and Sergio in the living room to get acquainted. With their good friend temporarily out of commission, it left the pair on their own amid strangers. Nick’s mating to a Native American human only seemed to complicate whatever plans Luna had for them, and Ben tried to put them at ease.
“I know everything is up in the air right now, but Sergio’s training alone will take at least two weeks. That gives Luna some time to reveal what the next steps are for the four of you. And just so you know, Alphas Sheppard and Cruz are working on your legal documents so that you can remain in the States as long as you need. Until we have them, you’re perfectly safe here, and if Luna moves you somewhere else, there are precautions we can take.
“Meanwhile, Dante, I want to start meeting with you for an hour or two each day. If you end up staying in the U.S., you’ll need to understand pack dynamics and leadership, and how to work with the American Council. I’m sure we do things differently here than you did in León, and I’m eager to learn how yourpack operated. Jack’s opinion is that Luna is going to keep you together, though we still don’t know all the details, and Alpha Sheppard assures me that you’ll be taken care of. Obviously, you and your friends have all the necessary gifts to form the leadership core of a new pack.”
Both men seemed relieved to hear Ben’s summary, and Dante responded.
“That’s what we’ve been thinking. We just don’t understand why Luna would bring us here to America when there must be places back home that need us. And how does Gray fit into all of this? He doesn’t know much about shifters or anything about our culture or language, and the opposite is true about us if we stay. I appreciate Alpha Sheppard’s promise of support, but starting from scratch is going to be expensive, and we came here with nothing at all. How’s that going to work?”
Evan understood their concerns, but they were forgetting something very important.
“If Luna has been preparing you all along and brought you here against the odds, what makes you think you’ll be left high and dry? Sergio, I believe Luna will start revealing things to you directly, instead of through Jack, now that you’ve arrived. My assumption is that your training will jump-start the process, because it will change the way you think, see the world, and interact with Luna. I know it did for me!
“We’ll start tomorrow, and until Jack is ready, I can cover some things that Hector might not have known. Besides, it will be good for you to share teaching dreams with multiple brothers. And, at the next full moon, you’ll have the option of training with hundreds of True Elders in the Afterworld. I’ll show you how it works, and you’ll want to reach out to Jack’s mentor, HezekiahMatson. He not only knows many of the brothers there, but he has a direct connection to Gray’s family.”
Though Evan didn’t explain further, Sergio began to wonder if the Navajo-shifter connection back then had something to do with Gray being chosen as Nick’s mate. As far as he knew, there were no Navajo shifters, though that would soon change, if it hadn’t already. In León, turning one’s human mate usually happened early in the relationship.
Now that he thought about it, Sergio wondered why Ben and Evan hadn’t mentioned it in their discussion. Did they expect Gray to remain human? Had Nick revealed an alternate plan? Did American shifter packs do things differently? Well, if Nick initiated the process, everyone, including him, would know about it soon enough.
