earth.

Lance enjoyed the warm, comforting touch of Markus’s hands on his shoulders, as well as the soft press of his lips on his neck when he thanked him.
Lance’s decision must have really been scaring him for him to be showing this sort of gratitude.
“I won’t tell anyone. No one would believe me even if I did,” he said, hoping to comfort the other man for when they eventually parted

ways.
“There are people out there who would believe you. That’s what
we’re afraid of.”
And Lance had been the cause of that fear for an entire group of people. Christ, that one man, the former hunter, had said that people out there skinned werewolves for their pelts. No wonder they stayed hidden. Lance clenched his fists.
“You don’t think…the boy that saved me…”
“I’ve never heard that story before, but we’re a pretty tough species. I’m sure he got out of there just fine,” Markus said, still hugging Lance to him.
“God, I hope so.” Just the thought that someone might’ve come along and skinned that boy after he’d saved Lance’s life was enough to make him start shivering all over again.
Markus didn’t release him, but he was no longer pressing those comforting kisses to the back of his neck either.
“Do you want me to leave you alone?” Markus asked after a time of silence.
“No,” Lance said quickly. The last thing he wanted was to be alone right now, but it was about more than that. He wanted Markus specifically to be here with him. “Please don’t leave.”
Lance turned around, and though it was stupid because Markus had been holding onto him, he was surprised to see how close they were standing.
Somehow, all of this seemed so far away.
No, they were together, in the same room, right in front of each other, and Lance had just been given the secret to werewolves.
“Your eyes are gold,” Lance said, suddenly noting the difference between what they had been before and what they were now.
“Yeah.” Markus’s voice was husky, and the way his eyes stared hungrily down at Lance let him know just what it was that the other man wanted from him.
There was something he needed to know first. “Why did you tell

me? I told you what I was doing for a living. Why give me this?”
Markus wet his lips, and those gold eyes flickered a little. Almost like he was coming out of a trance.
“It couldn’t have just been because I was mad at you,” Lance said.
Markus shook his head. “It was because…I needed you to know because I mated with you.”
Lance’s eyes went wide. He gasped at the new information, and Markus took quick advantage of his open mouth as he kissed him. Now Markus wasn’t just hugging him gently, but pressing them tightly together. Lance could feel his erect cock through his tight jeans, and Markus pressed against his hips, kissing and pushing him back to the bed.
Lance let him. He wanted this as much as Markus did.
He wasn’t an idiot, he knew what Markus was talking about when he said he’d mated with Lance, and somehow, considering Lance’s feelings that had developed for him in the little time they’d had together, it made a whole lot of sense.
Now was not the time to ask for all the extra little details that
likely came with the revelation. He just wanted Markus to put that firm cock inside him and fuck him until everything was all right again.
When the back of his knees touched the side of the bed, they both fell over with a small shout of surprise from both of them.
It barely put a stop to what they were doing. “I take it you approve?”
“Yes,” Lance said, his eyes rolling back as Markus humped against him, and his still-clothed cock sizzled with pleasure. “That’s nice. Fuck me.”
Markus scrambled to get out of his clothes, and
