mate.
    But the man, the beautiful man, had smelled so damn good Fen had allowed Jeff to lead him from his prison. He still hadn’t figured out how Jeff had managed to get Gleipnir to free its enchanted hold on him, but in the end it didn’t matter. Fenris was free, and he had his mate by his side.
    Except he didn’t.
    Fenris opened his eyes and stared into the strange, dimly lit room. He lifted his head cautiously, sniffing for the warm, cinnamon scent of his mate. He let out a low growl when he realized he’d been in the bed alone for hours on end. Fen crawled out of the bedding and glided through the doorway. It would take him a while to remember all of the strange names for the rooms in this dwelling, but Fen knew it would be worth it. If this was how his mate wished to live, then Fen would see to it that they remained here for however long Jeff wished.
    He followed the scent of his mate to the leather sofa, growling when he found the man curled up there. This wouldn’t do. Not at all. Fen’s mate belonged with Fen, not lying on cold leather under a worn blanket. Fen would pull down the sky for this man’s blanket, would kill the sun herself if he got too hot. So why did he continue to lie out here every night?
    Fen bent down and smelled something familiar on his mate’s breath. It had been a long time since he’d tasted akevitt . He was delighted his mate had it hidden somewhere in his dwelling. He’d have to tease the location out of him later.
    Fen picked Jeff up and carried him into the “bedroom”, careful not to wake him. Whatever had driven him to drink, Fen would see it resolved. He’d not have his mate be disturbed like this.
    Jeff twitched as Fen placed him on the bed, muttering incoherently as Fen carefully undressed him.
    “ Jeg er din forlovede. ”
    Fen smiled at the slurred, barely audible words. “ Ja. Jeg er din forlovede .” At least he acknowledges our mating when he dreams. He curled around his sleeping mate, warming him with his body heat. Jeff felt so small against him, so cold. He’d warm his little mate, keep him safe from everything the world had thrown at him. Neither Grimm nor Frigg nor any enchanted weapon would harm a hair on his little redhead.
    This man needed Fen, and Fen would do his best to provide whatever he desired for the rest of their lives.
    Fen buried his nose in his mate’s hair and, with that spicy-sweet scent in his nostrils, fell back into a contented sleep
     
    Jeff smiled, warm and comfortable in the cocoon of his lover’s arms. Soft kisses rained down on his neck. The whiskers of his lover’s chin sending shivers down his spine as they scraped across his skin. “Mmm.”
    His neck was licked. “ Du kan smake godt .”
    Jeff froze as he realized just who was sleeping in his bed. “What the hell does that mean?”
    His neck was licked again. “Mmm. You taste good.”
    He tried not to shiver, but damn. Fenris had figured out one of his hot spots without even trying. “Why am I not on the sofa?”
    “You were cold.”
    He glared over his shoulder at Fenris. “I’m pretty sure I had a nice, comfy blanket over me.”
    Fenris shrugged. “Then I was cold.”
    “You had my comforter.”
    “But I did not have your comfort.”
    Jeff grabbed his head. “Ow. Oh, ow.”
    “What?”
    The panic in Fenris’s voice almost made him feel bad. “That joke. It hurt so badly.”
    Fenris rolled his eyes and dug his fingers into Jeff's sides, tickling him.
    Jeff bucked desperate to get away from the man who'd just found his second biggest weakness, and fell off the bed with a thump. "Ow." Now his head and his ass hurt, not to mention his pride.
    "Are you all right?"
    Yup. The big bastard was laughing at him. "You know, paybackas are a bitch."
    "Paybacks. What are those?"
    Fenris wasn't laughing anymore. If he didn't know better Jeff would swear he looked jealous. "You know, payback. You got me, now I have to get you."
    The wolf's expression turned heated. "Hmm.
