He smiled as he held it out. "Need any help?"
Leon chuckled as he took the washcloth. "This might take a little more than a washcloth." He gestured to the bathroom with his chin. "Is there a shower in there?"
"Oh, yeah."
"Okay, be out in a few minutes."
George walked over and started making the bed after Leon grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom. He wanted to strip the sheets off the bed, but he wasn't sure if he would get new ones. Still, it was kind of disgusting making a cum-stained bed.
He was fluffing the pillows when he heard a door open behind him. "All cleaned up?"
When Leon didn't reply, George turned, then gasped. "Alpha Barker."
"I hope I didn't come at an inopportune time."
George felt the heat in his cheeks. "No, sir."
But if he had been five minutes earlier…
"Good, good."
George swallowed tightly as he shot a quick look toward the bathroom door. Maybe it was better that Leon didn't see him leave. "Is it that time, sir?"
Had it been two hours already?
Alpha Barker frowned. "What time, George?"
"Please don't make me say it."
"George, why do you think I'm here?" the alpha asked after a moment of heavy silence.
George wanted to roar at the man that he was there to kill him, but he didn't. The guy was an alpha after all. "To administer my punishment for attacking your son."
"Did you and your mate talk at all when he arrived?"
The flush in George's cheeks renewed itself. "We talked about the important stuff, sir."
"You don't consider your life important?"
"No, I do, but learning your mate loves you seems like it should be at the top of the list."
Alpha Barker chuckled. "Yes, I can see where that might be true."
"Why are you here, sir?"
The man smiled. "To tell you that you are free to go."
"I'm free?"
Alpha Barker nodded.
Hot damn!
