Neither did I. I just wasn’t going to do anything about it.
“I’m here. Sorry. Got distracted.” Wyatt came jogging up to the porch.
I scowled in his direction. “Aren’t you in the climax?”
“Aren’t you?” Wyatt plopped down next to me.
Nico stood up. The happy bastard must’ve decided he was going to step in when Wyatt didn’t show up.
I grunted. “Fuck off.”
“Working on it.” Nico tucked his hands in his pockets. “We’ll drop something off on your porch for dinner tonight.”
Forcing food on you was my asshole friends’ version oflet me know if you need anything.
Nico disappeared.
Wyatt leaned back on the steps. The fucker was more relaxed than I’d ever seen him before. We both knew why.
“What happened?”
“Don’t act like you didn’t hear the full story from everyone else.”
“I’ve been a little busy.”
I scowled.
That tracked, though. Wyatt and Jade should’ve been almost through the climax.
“She showed up on my porch with a bright pink wedding cake. Thought it was your place. I tried to get rid of her. Made the mistake of looking into her eyes. She fell off the porch and hurt herself. My wolf freaked out about the injury and forced her into the house. She talked him into biting her. When I shifted back, I had a panic attack. Her wolf bit me too.”
Wyatt whistled. “That’s got to be a new record for the shortest mate hunt. And chase.”
I clenched my jaw.
Another wave of heat and need had me breathing through a fucking awful, stabbing pain in my abdomen. My cock, too.
“She ran away afterward?” he checked.
“No. She suggested we spend the climax together and go back to our normal lives afterward.”
“So she offered sex and a platonic mate bond?”
I grunted.
“Why the fuck did you turn her down?”
“I didn’t say no. She offered time to think about it, and that seemed like a good call at the moment.”
“Did you get her phone number? For after youthink about it?”
I let out a harsh breath. “Didn’t think aboutthat.”
“It’s a damn good thing she’s friends with a bunch of our mates.”
No kidding.
“Have you?” he asked me.
