Logan reached out his arms, inviting his mate to come to him, and when Kieran jumped up and sat on his lap, he encircled his mate with his strong arms, hugging him tightly. “I think I need to see a sunrise with you,” Logan said, his voice rough as his eyes filled with tears.
Nodding, Kieran added, “You won’t be disappointed, I promise you.”
“I agree,” Logan said. Standing, while keeping his mate in his arms, Logan moved to the sofa and sat down with Kieran on his lap. “Do you mind if I ask you about your childhood?”
“Nope, but it wasn’t very interesting or fun.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Well, I told you I was found under the ancient oak tree by my father, and then he gave me to my Shaman for money. I lived with my Shaman until I turned eighteen…that’s when the Alpha gave me back to my parents and, well, you know the rest.”
Nodding, Logan said, “I got all that, but tell me about your time with the Shaman. What did you do as a child? As a teenager?”
“Studied.”
“School? Yeah, so did I, but what did you do for fun?”
“Nothing, I just studied.”
Shocked, Logan stared at his mate. “Nothing? I don’t understand. Didn’t you have a hobby? Or a pet?”
Shaking his head, Kieran tried to figure out how to describe his life. “From the time I can remember anything, my Shaman was always teaching me about anything and everything. For instance, I spent years learning about being gay…like how to have sex and what was required if I was a top or a bottom. And I was taught to trust my instincts and wear what I wanted, regardless of what others thought. He took me to my first gay club, so I would feel comfortable in one. I studied everything he could find about gay wolf shifters, so I knew the world I was a part of. I never suffered like Theo and Norman or you, for that matter…you know, made to feel ashamed…in fact just the opposite.”
“Wow, ahhh, yeah, that is quite different from my experience.”
Giggling, Kieran said, “One time my Shaman gave me a book and told me to read it and then he would test me. Guess what I learned?”
“Not a clue. What?”
“The meaning of emojis for gays! It was so much fun…my Shaman would send me some and I had to tell him what he was saying.”
“You mean he taught you sexting?”
Giggling ended up as laughter when Kieran saw the look on Logan’s face. “Uh huh, my Shaman wanted to make sure I knew everything about being gay. Do you wanna see?”
“Yeah, go ahead send me one.”
Kieran pulled out the phone he’d bought at the mall, entered Logan’s number, and then entered some emojis before hitting send.
Logan’s phone dinged, and he looked at it. “A donut and a tongue?”
“Yes, it’s what I asked you to do to me yesterday.”
Logan thought back on their day and then smirked. “You want me to rim you!”
Giggling, Kieran nodded as he started to grind his ass against Logan’s groin, before sending another text.
Logan looked at his phone again and smiled. He knew this one. “You want to give me a blow job?”
Laughing, Kieran swatted his mate. “No I want one!”
“Hmmm, I’ll think about it,” Logan said, giving Kieran a quick kiss. “Other than sexting, what else did you study?”
“Designing clothes! One day, my Shaman saw me drawing an outfit I wanted to make for myself and he asked if I enjoyed designing clothes and I told him ‘yes’ so the next thing I knew he’d signed me up for an online course. I loved it and then I started taking the stuff I learned and used it to redesign my room. Once I asked him why he wanted me to do it when that wasn’t my purpose on earth.”
“And his answer was…?”
“He wanted me to have a trade in case I never met my Fated Mate.”
