He had two shallow scratch marks running from the base of his throat and down his chest from when the Salt Creek shifter had tried to grab him.
Finn let out a high-pitched whine at the sight, and he stepped toward Jaime before halting at the sound of his voice.
“Finn?”
Chapter 13
Jaime
“Finn?”
Of course he knew it was Finn. While the man standing before him looked, well, not human, he still looked likeFinn. He still had the same shaggy blonde hair, and rich brown eyes, and he still looked at Jaime with tenderness and care. Except now, his eyes held something so vulnerable and poignant that Jaime nearly had to look away.
But he didn’t, because he had a feeling that if he looked away from Finn right now, in this moment, they would never come back from it.
“I won't hurt you, Jaime.” Finn’s voice was thick and raw, and the fluffy, pointed ears now perched on his head were drooping. But Jaime could understand his words just fine like this, even through all of those teeth.
Am I hallucinating?
Blinking a few times, Jaime unglued himself from the wall and took a step toward Finn. “I know you won't, Finn. I know that.”
The words rang true. He had absolutely no idea what was going on, or how his infuriatingly attractive bodyguard wascurrently standing in his room, naked, covered in hair, with enormous claws and fangs and fluffy ears, but he did know that even with all of that, Finn wouldn’t hurt him.
Oh.
Oh.
Finn was naked. Very naked. And thisversionof him was absolutely massive in more ways than just height. Unless Finn’s cock was that huge all the time, in which case, unfair.
But not really, though, if I’m the one lucky enough to feel it rearranging my insides later.
A large and hairy fanged man is standing in your room, naked, and you’re thinking about fucking him?
Yes, he was.
Finn took a step toward him and Jaime couldn’t help but glance back down—his cock was truly massive. Even soft, it hung heavy between his thighs, and shifted as he walked in a way that implied heft.
Jaime felt his face go hot, and he hoped the semi he was now sporting would go unnoticed among all of the other things that were happening right now. But then Finn’s ears canted forward in interest and his nostrils flared, nose still shaped like a human’s, and he looked down toward where Jaime’s own cock was lengthening in his pants.
So, not unnoticed, then.
“You’re naked.” Jaime thought that should explain things well enough.
Finn looked back up at his face and studied him in a way he knew he’d never been looked at before. Jaime took another step closer, just because he wanted to. The tension left Finn’s shoulders, and he finally stopped looking at him like Jaime had just kicked his puppy.
Puppy. Heh.
Jaime chuckled to himself, and considered that he might be in shock. Finn, the man he’d stood up a year ago and who’d walked back into his life in the most unexpected way could turn into a giant, hairy, fanged man? He had to be close to a foot taller than Jaime like this, and while most of his face remained unchanged, his ears were now furry and nestled in his golden hair, like a… wolf.
He had prominent canines that dropped down and framed his bottom lip, and the rest of his teeth seemed sharper and longer. His arms and legs were elongated too, making his current attempt to look smaller than he was even more obvious.
His fingers and toes were tipped in sharp, dark claws, and his thighs and lower torso were covered in thick, soft-looking fur, a shade darker than the sandy golden blonde of his hair. It thinned the further up it went, not entirely covering his ass and groin area, peaking in an exaggerated happy trail between his pecs where it spread back out, covering his chest.
Jaime looked back up from his appraisal, noting the cautious look was back on Finn’s face. His voice was thick when he asked, “Are you ok, Jaime? Is there someone you want me to call for you? Someone you feel safe with?”
I feel safe with you.
Finn was still reading him closely, and may have seen that sentiment on his face, but still, Jaime answered. “I think I’m ok. I’m not hurt. I may be in shock. You know, given everything.” He waved his hands in Finn’s general direction, who nodded his head as if he understood.
