Matthew’s wolf strength on a rampage. Closing
his eyes for a moment, trying to control his wolf now the need
for all of that additional power had passed, he missed Dean
coming towards him until he felt slim, strong arms slip around
his waist and a small head rest on his chest.
“Thank you.” Hearing Dean’s soft whisper, Matthew looked
down at his mate’s upturned face. The amount of trust in
Dean’s eyes slashed through Matthew’s control and without
thinking he grabbed Dean tight, bending his head and taking
his first kiss from the man he was determined to spend the rest
of his life with.
Dean’s lips were so sweet, and they opened beneath Matthew’s
questing tongue without hesitation. Matthew was finding it
difficult to feel Dean’s body, when he had to bend over so far
to kiss the little man, so he grabbed Dean by his hips and
lifted, bringing Dean up off his feet. Dean wrapped his legs
around Matthew’s waist and Matthew could feel thin, strong
fingers in his hair as Dean kissed him back.
It was heady. It was fucking awesome, but Matthew had
enough brain power left to know that if he pushed Dean now,
yes he could probably have him, but at what cost. Matthew
still didn’t know what Dean’s reservations about their mating
were and he wasn’t about to jeopardize a lifetime of bliss for
one wrong move. So despite the fact he wanted to devour the
man in his arms, he kept his hands in one place, and funneled
his passion in to his kisses.
“Matthew. Fuck it all. MATTHEW,” Kane’s tinny voice came
through the phone that Matthew had dropped to the floor and
he reluctantly raised his head, drowning for just a moment in
Dean’s heavy lidded eyes and flushed face. What a beautiful
sight.
Carefully Matthew set Dean’s feet back on the floor, and
keeping one arm firmly around Dean’s waist, he bent and
picked his phone up. “Yes, Kane. I’ve got him. Two dead, but
tough shit.”
“Yes, we saw. That’s great. Search the bodies quickly and then
get the hell out of there. Shawn’s not sure but he thinks you
might have company soon. Those two human’s had no reason
to take Dean and were probably just hired hands for somebody
else.”
“That means this Kylan fella is probably somewhere pretty
close, right?”
“We think so and it’s too risky for you two to stay where you
are.”
“I hear you,” Matthew said sharply as he hung up, his worry
about Dean being captured again or hurt, superseding all else.
Dean was already running his hands over the two dead bodies
on the floor and while Matthew hated the thought of him being
anywhere near the thugs, he appreciated Dean’s help. Dean’s
movements were quick and economical and he lifted two
wallets and a couple of guns. He looked at Matthew, the
question clear on his face. Matthew nodded. Taking the guns,
even though most wolf shifters hated them, was the sensible
thing to do. Dean passed them over, and Matthew stuck them,
one each, into his boots.
“Is that it?” He asked his little mate and Dean nodded. “Come
on then, Kane said we need to get out of here. He’s worried
these were just hired thugs, and that the real threat could be
on his way.”
Chapter Four
If Dean thought his emotions were a mess before he went out,
then what he was feeling now was an emotional tsunami of
epic proportions. Kidnapped and rescued in less than half an
hour, not to mention being drugged by god knows what, would
be enough for any shifter to lose his shit for a while. But when
Matthew kissed him, his first kiss ever, Dean had to contend
with a whole new feeling – one he didn’t think he had ever had.
He wanted Matthew to claim him properly – sex, those
delicious kisses and anything else Matthew had to offer. And
the intensity that he was feeling about that situation was
overwhelming.
Kane’s voice on the phone allowed Dean to regain some
semblance of control and when he heard the instructions
