Page 73 of The Doctor's Wolf: Part Two
“Huh.I’m good.I think it’s my turn.Yes?”Adler wrapped his fingers around Gordon’s wrist, pinning them.
“Yes.”
You have no idea how happy you make me,Adler thought.
Gordon wanted to tell him it was the same, but he never got the chance.Adler held him pinned with one hand and used the other to touch him, stroking the erection that had already built until Gordon began to struggle, searching for more friction.
I know what you want, sweetheart.I can see it on your beautiful face.Gordon, I could watch you all day every day and still never get enough of you.
“Please, Adler.”
“You want to cum?”
“Yeah.”
Adler’s chest rumbled with a growl more sonorous than anything Gordon had heard from him in a while.
“Gordon.”Adler shifted, covering Gordon’s body with his.“You’re so precious to me.I was so damn scared for you all day.”
Gordon huffed.“And I was scared for you.But you shifted.I didn’t know you were that good a fighter.”
Adler stilled, managing to keep his mind blank.“What?”
“Uhm.What I mean is…as your wolf-self, detective.I didn’t know you were such a good fighter as your wolf-self.I mean, you’re ever such a well-behaved wolf.Do you remember when we first met in Seneca Park and when you took me home?You were all proper and prim like a very nice dog.”
“Sweetheart, you should be getting in trouble for this.”
Gordon blinked.“Sexy trouble?”
“Yes.Maybe.And real trouble.A good spanking at a minimum.I’m my alpha’s second in command, Gordon.”
“I know, I know, but…I’ve never seen werewolves fight like that.It’s just not something you expect.”
Adler let out a heavy breath.“Fine.For tonight, I’ll let you off the hook.But, Gordon, you should remember this.We are fighters, and in our wolf form, we can hurt a vampire.Not that I’ll let you out of my sight during the full moon ever again.”He dropped his forehead against Gordon’s.“I think that other werewolf watched you.The day shifter.Something isn’t right about that one.”
“Why would he watch me?”
“I don’t know.I hope Maxim can get it out of him.We shouldn’t talk about this, not tonight.And with any luck, me shifting wasn’t a one-off.I’ll be able to make sure no one attacks you that way, and before you tell me I’m overreacting, I have to.You’re my mate, and I have to keep you safe.”
Gordon chuckled.“Same here, detective.I have to keep you safe too.And in supply of pants if you insist on randomly turning like you did earlier.Which was awesome.I never said that, but it was.”
“Gordon.”Adler’s voice was filled with longing, with love.“For me it’s…I can’t read your thoughts.I don’t think I’ll ever be able to.But I have a pretty good idea of your emotions.I think the mate bite gave each of us what we need to understand the other better.”
“You… What?”
Adler kissed Gordon’s chin.“I can feel your emotions, and that’s anxiety.I know that one well.”
“Oh, fuck.That’s…unexpected.”Although it isn’t.It might even be fair.“But you can’t read my thoughts?”
Adler shook his head.“No.I’d tell you.”I wouldn’t even have to tell you, because you’d be able to just read my mind and see for yourself.
“I guess that’s true.”
They were silent for a while, unmoving while Adler still held Gordon’s wrists pinned, their bodies close.
“Can you trust me with knowing you that way?”Adler asked, and Gordon heard the fear in his mate’s voice.
The answer came without conscious thought, that’s how certain Gordon was of it.“Yes.Yes, I trust you.I just have to get used to the idea, that’s all.”
