gently brushed the hair out of Dean’s
eyes and kissed his forehead. “Hey little one, it’s time to wake
up. You have company.”
“Don’t wanna,” Dean mumbled, pushing closer to Matthew. Oh,
sleepy Dean was absolutely adorable. “Come on cuteness, it’s
the Alpha and Alpha Mate, I’ve given them coffee, but you’d
better get out of bed so that they can see I haven’t done away
with you in the night.”
Dean looked frustrated and Matthew wanted to kiss that pouty
mouth so badly. But he was learning to let Dean come to him,
even though restraining himself was difficult, especially when
Dean sported the most delightful bed-hair look. It was made
doubly difficult when Dean ran his hand across Matthew’s bare
chest and blatantly tweaked a hardened nipple.
“We could just stay here,” Dean suggested with a sly grin.
“Maybe they’ll go away on their own and we can deal with
them later.” His hand had found the second nipple and when
that was tweaked Matthew couldn’t help a soft moan. His shaft
was already aching in his jeans, and temptation was riding him
hard.
“Fuck little one, you are driving me crazy,” he moaned again,
as he bent and gave Dean a soft kiss. Dean opened up to him
so beautifully, and for the longest moment Matthew was
tempted to go along with Dean’s idea. But old habits die hard,
especially in an old wolf, and he knew that the sooner they
listened to what Kane had to say, the sooner they could make
plans for their own lives.
Ending the kiss was a chore, because honestly Matthew could
suck at Dean’s lips all day and half the night. But end it he did,
and then he slipped off the bed. “Come on, little one, please
don’t tempt me anymore. Let’s deal with your visitors, and
then I’ll feed you, and then we can get comfortable again.”
Dean looked like he was going to disagree, but he got out of
bed and slipped on his jeans and a shirt. Matthew decided
then and there he was going to take Dean shopping and get
him some clothes that actually fit. The baggy look his mate
seemed to go for didn’t do him any favors. As they went to
leave the room, Dean slipped his hand into Matthews’, and
damn if that didn’t make him feel ten foot tall. His mate was
trusting him more with every passing minute.
Once at the kitchen counter, Matthew helped Dean onto a stool
and then stood to the side of him, passing the coffee he had
made. Dean smiled at him, but when the little man looked at
Kane his smiled slipped and Matthew hated seeing the pain on
his mate’s face.
“Dean, I’ve come to apologize to you and Matthew. I had no
right to try and stop your mating, or influence your decision in
any way. I hope you can forgive me.”
Wow, thought Matthew. He didn’t think he had ever heard an
Alpha apologize to a pack member before, and he had to admit
that impressed him. It took a lot of strength for any man to
admit he was wrong, and say sorry for it. Alphas didn’t do it at
all.
Dean looked down at his hands, and Matthew wished that his
mate had held onto the anger he had shown the day before,
but he had to accept that as an Omega, Dean had to be more
hurt than angry by what Kane had said the day before. It was
that hurt which was showing through now. Without thinking
Matthew reached over and took Dean’s hands in his own.
“Of course I forgive you, Kane,” Dean said quietly. “I’m just a
little hurt that you didn’t trust me to make such a serious
decision on my own. But more than that – you didn’t trust
Matthew not to hurt me, even though we are fated mates. You
know true mates can’t hurt each other.”
To his credit Kane dropped his head and said, “I didn’t mean to
do that, Dean. I don’t know what came over me. It’s just I’ve
been watching out for you for so long, I guess I didn’t know
when it was time to stop.”
Matthew was watching Dean closely, and he could see a whole
host of emotions run over his
eyes and kissed his forehead. “Hey little one, it’s time to wake
up. You have company.”
