him. His brother had always hated for him to speak to him like this.
    Chay, bless him, licked his muzzle, then nudged him in the shoulder and took off running.
    “Hey, wait up.”
    They played and explored for several hours until they finally caught a rabbit to share. Several times during the night it felt like someone followed them, but there was no scent. Whoever it was stayed downwind. He asked Chay about it, but Chay couldn’t smell anyone either. It was probably some of the younger wolves playing with them.
    Finally, around two or three in the morning, Chay led them to a small cave where they curled together and fell asleep.

    Chay woke up so horny his hips were practically humping air. He slowly became aware of heat at his back. The scent of his mate teased his nose, making him ache with need. He stood, looking down at the small white wolf.
    Bit lay on his stomach, his head resting between his front paws, his hind legs curled under him and his tail straight out.
    Before Chay even realized what he was doing, he was standing over the pale body, his mouth latched onto the back of Bit’s neck.
    Keaton’s ears popped up, but other than that he didn’t move. The slow southern accent drawled in his head. “Uh, Chay? I hate to be a party pooper, but we have no thumbs, no lips to speak of and no lube. Mind if we take this back to the house?”
    Chay blinked and let go of Bit’s neck.
    Bit rolled over, his big blue wolf eyes peering up at Chay.
    Fuck! What was he thinking? They couldn’t do that in this form. Well, yeah they probably could, but not here, not now and definitely not for their first time. They could shift and… No, he wasn’t parading bare-assed all the way back to the car. He crawled off Bit and nudged him with his nose to get him moving.
    Apparently, Keaton got the message. He popped to his feet and licked Chay’s muzzle. “Lead the way.”
    He didn’t waste any time. He climbed out of the cave and trotted back to the car, knowing Keaton followed him from the smell of him. In fact, that’s all he could concentrate on. The scent drove him crazy and if he were any judge, Bit was every bit as horny as he was.
    “You know, you really have a nice tail.”
    Yeah, Bit was as turned on as he was. He would have laughed if he could have, instead, he hurried his pace.
    When they got back to the car, several other pack members were there, including his father. At least they’d mistake his arousal for his age and the fact that he’d just awakened. Not that it mattered, they would ignore it. It was bad form to acknowledge another’s excitement. He only hoped none of them decided to strike up a conversation. He really wanted to get home.
    Bit changed before he did and opened the car door, getting their clothes out. He was not going to notice that nice, round, little ass. He wasn’t. Oh shit, did he whimper?
    “Morning, boys. The two of you have a nice evening?” Joe called out over the hood of his car.
    Bit waved and put his briefs on, covering that tempting backside…thank God. “Hi, Joe. We had a nice hunt. How about you? Next time we’ll have to go out all together.”
    His dad walked over as Chay shifted back. Mentally he groaned, but he couldn’t very well be rude and rush off. That would draw attention and speculation. Not that he minded everyone knowing, but he didn’t feel like explaining it right now . He wanted to get Bit home and naked again.
    He reached around Bit, grabbed his boxers and jeans off the seat and quickly donned them. “Hi, Dad.”
    “Morning, Son. You boys want to go get some breakfast?”
    Hell no.Not unless Bit is on the menu. “Uh…”
    Bit pulled on his shirt and handed Chay his. “Can we take a rain check? We need to get home and let the puppy out. We locked him in last night.”
    Yes. Thank you, Bit. Chay tugged his shirt down over his head and nodded. “Yeah, Pita is probably crossing his legs.”
    Joe snickered. “Or flooding the house.”
    Bit
