felt.
    Grio's attempt at words was just as incoherent. "Fuck, yeah. That was... You are... Yeah."
    They actually chuckled a bit, laughing together.
    "This was a much better idea than talking." Grio was rather proud of himself for getting the words out this time.
    "Obviously."
    He punched Phoenix in the arm. "Butthead."
    "Yep." Phoenix winked, thrusting again.
    "Fuck!" He arched, bucking up against Phoenix.
    Phoenix's laughter vibrated inside him.
    "Making me crazy."
    "Is that a challenge?" Oh, tease!
    Growling, he tried to flip them, but Phoenix was stronger than he looked.
    "Try harder," Phoenix suggested.
    His eyes narrowed and he let himself go limp, trying to get Phoenix to let his guard down. Phoenix landed on him, heavier than he looked. Wrapping his arms around the man, he pushed up hard. Phoenix's eyes flashed, the joy at the play evident. Grio did it again, shifting them slightly this time, Phoenix's prick moving inside him, making him moan.
    "We can't go again, our cocks will be raw." Phoenix's words had him chuckling.
    Pushing again, he managed to roll them this time. Phoenix's prick slid out of him, and suddenly he could pounce, holding Phoenix down. "Got you!"
    Phoenix chuffed, batting at him, then rolling away. It was a purely feline motion within a human body. Grio lay there, watching Phoenix move, rumbling softly. His mate was the most glorious tiger of them all.
    Phoenix moved in close and rubbed their cheeks together. He closed his eyes, breathed in deeply as Phoenix marked him again.
    "I don't understand this, but I know it's right." Phoenix rubbed their cheeks together again.
    "It is. Not everyone is going to like it." But they could go fuck themselves. This was undeniable.
    "Why not? We're consenting adults."
    Grio snorted. "You're royalty, Phoenix. I'm just...a foot soldier."
    "I'm a dirt poor TA living on ramen noodles and coffee."
    That had him grinning. "Okay. That makes you the front man, and me the money. They pay me very well to be a foot soldier."
    "You think they'd pay for me to jack off in a cup?"
    "I think they'll try to convince you that it's your princely duty to do it for free first. I'd hold out for the payment. I bet they'd pay a lot for royal spunk."
    Just yesterday he never would have dreamed of suggesting something like that. But yesterday he never would have dreamed that he'd be mates with a royal, either. He liked this bucking the trend thing.
    "Hey, a poor crazy grad student needs a way to bring in the cash."
    "I told you, I've got money. We'll be fine with or without your sperm."
    "Too bad I'm not a biology student."
    "Why?"
    "Well, I could focus on cats. It's precious little help, being an English major."
    "You do what you want." He growled the words out. He would take care of Phoenix, get him whatever he needed to be happy.
    Phoenix was his mate and his prince.
    Phoenix was his.

 

Chapter 4
     
    "I have to go back to work, mate." Phoenix had claimed to have a terrible virus for a week, but it was enough. He had to go back.
    Grio sighed and rolled over, looking at him with those almost golden, brown, soulful eyes. "I have to check in, too. Let them know I found you."
    "So tell them. Tell them you found me and I'm keeping you." He might be bugnuts crazy and a tiger, but he wasn't a loser.
    "You think that will work?" Grio moved closer to him. "I'm not so sure they'll let me keep you."
    That wasn't what he'd said, though. He would be keeping Grio.
    "Excuse me? I am not a fucking object. They'll be decent or I won't play nice." He wrinkled his nose. He wasn't playing.
    Grio was smiling at him--grinning. "You really are a royal."
    He nodded. "I will not put up with bullshit." This being royal shit had to be good for something, right?
    "Maybe I should let you talk to Headquarters."
    "Sure." He wasn't scared. Well, okay, he was but he wasn't letting on.
    "I'll Skype them and bring you in if I need to." It looked like Grio was honestly worried about this call.
    "It will be okay. I
