in
Liam’s words as if he were trying to keep his voice even.
“Kent smells good to me like you do. He is my mate, too.” Sebastian felt his fear rise as Liam’s
breathing became more erratic.
“Please,” Sebastian whimpered, and brought his arms up over his face.
“Baby, look at me.” Liam said evenly. Sebastian looked up. Liam had tears coming down his face.
“I will never, ever hurt you. I swear it. Please don’t turn from me in fear.” Liam moved his hand over
Sebastian’s hair.
“I’m sorry!” Sebastian cried before he flung himself completely into Liam’s arms. He wrapped his arms
around his mate and tried to bury his face in his sternum.
“This is all I wanted, baby. For you to need me. My parents didn’t want me anymore, I couldn’t stand it
if my mate turned from me too,” Liam said burying his face in Sebastian’s neck.
“I do, I do, I do!” Sebastian chanted brokenly.
“ Shush , kitten. I have you now. Are you sure about Kent?” Sebastian looked up and nodded.
“Is there anything else you need to tell me? Now is the time to get it out,” Liam said.
Sebastian’s eyes darted to the left as he hesitated for a second. “There’s one more thing, I promise to tell
you, can it just be later?” Sebastian asked.
“Just one more thing, that’s it? Are you sure?”
Sebastian nodded. “Yes, I’m sure.”
“Okay, then. As long as you promise to tell me later, I’m okay with not knowing now. Wow. Okay, let’s
go see our mate.” Liam took a deep breath and cupped Sebastian’s face. “It’s gonna be okay, kitten. You’ll
see.”
Sebastian rubbed his cheek against Liam’s open palm before sitting back and nodding.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Chapter 3
Sebastian walked hand in hand with Liam as they left the library and headed to Liam’s office. Without
knocking, Liam opened the door.
“Oh good, you’re back. If you didn’t need to do actual work in this office I would ban you from it. You
are a complete slob when it comes to paperwork,” Kent said, without looking up. When he did finally tear
his eyes from the screen, he smiled.
“I see that you’ve resolved things with Sebastian. Good. Maybe you can concentrate on your overdue
reports. Your grandfather called while you were out and wants your feedback regarding the pride-to-pride
transfer policy,” Kent said from behind the computer monitor.
Liam scowled. “He already knows how I feel about the delays in pride to pride transfers, especially for
gay males,” Liam said stepping away from Sebastian and walked around the desk to stand next to Kent.
“Yes, but as pride Alpha, you need to send him an official document with your position so he can use it
in council.” Kent looked up at Liam, his baby blue eyes smiling. Sebastian shifted his weight. He felt like an
outsider watching them discuss pride politics. Kent and Liam’s eyes found their way to Sebastian.
“Have you two come to complete our mating?” Kent asked, looking from Sebastian to Liam.
“How in the hell did you know that?” Liam demanded.
Kent shrugged. “I could scent that Sebastian was my mate when we ran into each other last week at the
diner. I knew that you and he were having issues so I decided not to press my claim until after the two of
you had worked things out. So I figured since he’s here and you’re okay with him being here then the time
has come to claim each other. Am I wrong?” Kent asked looking from Sebastian to Liam and back.
“Well no, I mean yes, no. What?” Liam babbled.
“Time. For. Sex?” Kent drew out each word, his blue eyes sparkling.
“Yes!” Both Liam and Sebastian replied.
Liam’s hands immediately went to his jeans. He let them drop, stepping out of them as he pulled his T-
shirt off over his head. He stood naked in front of his mates and looked from one to the other. Sebastian
felt his mouth begin to water as he stared at the ten-inch cock that was already dripping cum from its
