Tilting his chair back, Jackson plugged that piece of information into the puzzle and that’s when everything fell into place. Jackson had already been pregnant and Mystia had removed his anti-scent spell. And that’s when Steel had met Josiah’s son, Kahn, in the supermarket they’d gone to.Damn!Kahn would have recognized Jackson’s scent and would have known he was pregnant.And my fucking cousin told his father! How fucking nice of him! And the Shaman confirmed it. Fuck! At least I know how it happened and it appears my uncle was playing the odds when he included his demand for my pup.
Jackson sighed in relief. Glancing back at Dylon, he said, “Thanks for the information. By a set of unfortunate circumstances, my cousin discovered I was pregnant andtold my uncle. I’m not sure how the Shaman is involved but I’m pretty sure Josiah is guessing about Daniel or Jake and Jessica. Right now, I think he’s fishing to see if we bite and the ploy about the pups is the bait…bait we won’t be taking.”
Chapter 16
The shadows in the room had deepened as the sun began to set, but still Logan continued, taking time only to turn on the lamp over his drafting table. Finally, he was finished and sat back, studying what he’d just created. Exhausted, turning the new plan 360 degrees and looking at it from every angle, Logan loved it. Now here was something he’d be proud to put his name on, but more importantly, he would be very proud to have Cody’s boys live there. He did what Kieran suggested—he made a home for these boys?a home in which they would feel special and loved?a home filled with cozy spaces, private ones, and a large one where the boys could gather around a fireplace, so they could celebrate all of the moon festivals.
Tomorrow he would figure out the colors and other finishes and he would enjoy listening to Kieran’s ideas. Raising his arms over his head and stretching out the kinks in his body, he heard a soft knock at his door. Striding over, he opened it and saw Dylon standing there, his face rigid with anger. Perplexed at the look, he said simply, “Hi Dylon.”
“Don’t ‘Hi Dylon’ me. Where is he?”
“Uhm, where is who?”
“Kieran!” Dylon growled. “He wasn’t at dinner and the last I saw of him was in this room. So, where is he?”
Logan’s face was blank as he slowly put the pieces together.Oh fuck! Where did Kieran go?Stepping back into the room, he looked around for the first time since he started drawing, amazed at the orderliness of the studio. His eyes traveled until he saw Kieran sound asleep on the sofa. Waving his hand in that direction,Logan said, “He’s sleeping. Do you need him for something because he looks like he is out for the night?”
“What did you do to him?” Dylon demanded.
“Nothing. I was drawing all afternoon and I guess he decided to straighten up the studio by the looks of it. I’m sorry, I forgot all about Kieran. He gave me an idea and I wanted to get it on paper before I forgot it. I just finished a few minutes before you knocked. Why are you so angry?”
“Is that all that happened?”
“Well, except for eating the lunch Dakota made for us, yes. Oh fuck, Kieran needs to eat. Is Dakota still in the kitchen?”
“No! Do you have any idea of what fucking time it is?”
“Not really. Look, I don’t know what’s got you so riled up but as you can see, Kieran is safe and asleep,” Logan said, as he glanced at him again before turning back to Dylon. “Do you think I should carry him to his bedroom? I think he might be more comfortable there.”
“I’ll take him.”
Logan’s wolf growled at that idea, but he wasn’t interested in going toe to toe with Dylon about it, so he said, “He’s my responsibility, I’ll carry him. You can follow if you wish.” And with that, Logan walked over to Kieran, scooped him up gently in his arms and strode out of the studio as Dylon trailed behind him.
~/~/~/~/~
After getting undressed and climbing into bed, Logan’s mind zeroed in on what happened with Kieran after Dylon knocked on his studio door and he took him back to his room. Setting Kieran gently down on the white sheets, Logan tried to stand up but couldn’t as his mate’sarms tightened around his neck. Finally, gently prying them loose, Logan watched as Kieran sighed in his sleep before turning on his side and sticking that sweet perk ass out toward him. Removing Kieran’s shoes, Logan covered him up and quietly left the room.
In the darkness of his own bedroom, Logan could still hear the sweet sound Kieran made when he lifted him from the sofa and swore he could feel Kieran’s arms still wrapped around his neck. The picture of Kieran lying in his bed, moonlight bathing him in a soft light, was burned into Logan’s mind. Everything about Kieran excited him from his small size to his penchant for pink.
Tomorrow, Logan would show Kieran the new plan of the home for Cody’s boys and then they could spend the day going through paint chips, furniture catalogues and fabric sample books.I mustn’t forget to thank him for all the work he did to straighten up my studio.Smiling in the dark, Logan was looking forward to tomorrow, something he hadn’t done in a long time.
Logan then reached down and wrapped his hand around his leaking cock, slowly stroking it as he pictured Kieran’s naked body bent over with his ass wriggling in the air. Bringing his hand back to the tip to gather up some more pre-cum, Logan moaned as his fingers brushed against the sensitive underside of his cock. Keeping a picture of that hot sexy body in his mind, Logan increased the pressure, imagining his cock balls deep in Kieran’s perfect pucker, and his hands rubbing the smooth ivory skin of his ass.
The moans were now flowing from the sassy mouth as Logan pounded away, keeping Kieran on edge as he teased his prostate. Closing his eyes, Logan imagined his cock encased in a tight, velvet channel, specially designed for it. Overwhelmed with pleasure his handsped up as he gripped his cock, finally providing the friction it was seeking. Balls tightening, hips bucking, his body wanting, needing, demanding Kieran, low howls of pleasure filled the air. In his mind, Logan looked down, watching his thick, hard cock fill the perfect hole meant for him. Then he heard it, Kieran begging him to come and no longer could he hold his orgasm back. Shots of cum covered his hand and stomach until his balls were empty.
Lying there, Logan refused to open his eyes, wanting to savor being encased in Kieran’s beautiful hole. His mind floated, complete happiness filled his body for the first time ever and the feeling was sublime. How had he survived this long without this? Slowly, as he descended back to earth, a deep and restful sleep claimed him.
~/~/~/~/~
His bedroom turned different colors as the sky lightened, waiting for the sun to rise. Kieran rolled over, his hand seeking his mate but found nothing. Groaning, he opened one eye, peeking at the empty pillow next to him and remembered—remembered being carried in his mate’s strong arms as his arms entwined Logan’s neck, wanting to be held forever. It was a glorious feeling and when he found himself in bed, his arms refused to let go, trying to pull Logan into bed with him.
Kieran opened his other eye, when he saw the pink light bathing his room, he jumped out of bed and went to the window, eager to see the sun rise on another day of freedom. Leaning against the window, he sent his spirit to check on his mate while he talked to his wolf about him. Yesterday, his wolf was demanding to be released so he could seek his mate, but Kieran kept him in check; Logan wasn’t ready to learn he had a Fated Mate.
He sensed the barrier Logan had constructed inside of himself and, so far, nothing was getting through it, but Kieran wasn’t willing to settle for only part of Logan. He wanted all of him, so he planned on continuing to chip away at his defenses until Logan let him in. He hoped it happened fast because his trip to Scotland was getting closer and his spirit told him Logan had to go with him.
Finally convincing his wolf that his way was better, his wolf agreed to wait—for a little while. Sighing, Kieran felt it was the best he was going to get right now. Yesterday was hard on them. Kieran wanted to touch Logan continuously—afraid Logan would disappear before his eyes, but he forced himself to take things slow.
Today he hoped they could find time to talk so they could get to know each other. It wasn’t the way a claiming usually happened, but he had the luxury of deciding how his would proceed. When they did finally fuck and bite each other, Kieran wanted to know Logan desired him for who he was and not just because he smelled good. He already knew he was sexually attracted to Logan and vice versa but there was more than that in a mating. Checking the time, Kieran stripped and jumped into the shower, doing a quick hand job before getting out and dressing for day two of his mating plan.
