“You certainly have a one-track mind, don’t you…my sex-crazed, pink-loving twink!” Logan said, tweaking one of Kieran’s nipples.
“Look who’s talking,” replied Kieran as he ground his ass around on Logan’s lap, smiling when he felt how hard his mate’s cock was.
“Oh, so you also learned how to be a cock tease!”
“Uh huh, my Shaman was very thorough!” Kieran said, giggling.
Logan’s fingers slid inside Kieran’s pajama pants and found his cock, eliciting a low moan from Kieran as Logan circled it and started tugging while murmuring what he would do to his mate’s pink pucker with his tongue.
His hole twitching and clenching, Kieran whimpered, imagining all the pleasure Logan’s tongue would give. Thrusting his hips forward, seeking the friction of his mate’s hand, Kieran cried out in frustration as Logan kept him on the edge. When his body was awash with desire and consumed with need, Kieran was reduced to begging. “Oh…please…let me come…now, right now!” Pumping his hips, he felt Logan’s hand tighten…granting his request.
Chapter 31
After a shower, during which Kieran was on his knees taking care of his mate, they sat on the sofa waiting for Oracle’s return. Logan had sent a couple of texts including one to Steel and a quick one to Jackson letting him know everything was good. Logan was nervous, and it had to do with what Oracle was going to tell him. Suddenly he felt Kieran’s hand on his thigh and his anxiety ceased.
In a way, he wished Oracle would tell him Kieran was his gift from the Fates—that’s how he felt because his life began when he found his mate and what could be greater than that? Somehow, knowing Oracle wasn’t going to say that, he began to worry if Kieran would want him once his gift was revealed. Now Logan understood how Jackson felt when Oracle told him he, as an Alpha, could have pups—excited, but fearful of being rejected by his brothers and stripped of his Alpha position—though it worked out in the end, and he would just have to believe it would for him, too.
“Stop it,macushla,it doesn’t matter to me what she tells us, I will always want you…always!”
Lifting the corners of his mouth slightly, Logan said, “Reading my mind now?”
Kieran rolled his eyes. “I don’t need to do that! Our spirit tells me you’re being nervous about what I’m going to think!” Kieran scrambled up onto Logan’s lap and held his face. “Listen to me,macushla,I. Don’t. Care. Not now. Not ever.” He kissed Logan, first lightly, then with more pressure, until all his mate could think of was the hungry lips devouring his. Finally, when Logan’s scent changed to arousal, Kieran slowly retreated, loath toleave his mate’s mouth but wanting this meeting over so they’d be free to do more than just kiss.
When Kieran’s lips were a hair’s breadth away from his, Logan whispered, “Thanks, babe, thanks for the show of support and, hmmm, the diversion. You can do that to me anytime, in fact, I think I need more of it right now…I feel another bout coming on.”
“Our spirit tells me Oracle is on her way,” said Kieran, “so if it will make you feel better, you can hold my dick while she’s talking to you.”
Logan burst out laughing—he couldn’t help it—as he pictured himself doing that. “Oh, babe, thank you! But no, I’ll manage,” Logan said, still chuckling as he heard a knock on their bedroom door.
“Come in,” called Kieran, smiling at his mate’s reaction to his proposal, and jumping out of Logan’s lap.
Oracle entered and walked over to them, happy to see smiles grace Logan and Kieran’s faces. Sitting opposite them, she said, “Before I speak to Logan, do you have any questions for me, Kieran?”
“Just one, what happened to the humans who killed my parents?”
“The High Council authorized killing them. They were destroyed, along with the virus.”
“Good. Then it won’t happen to anyone else. Thanks for telling me about my parents and giving my mother’s letter to me. I’ll treasure it always.”
Oracle smiled at Kieran before asking Logan, “Do you have any questions?”
“No, Kieran told me who he is…I guess my biggest worry is how to protect him.”
“The Fates took that into account when they decided what your gift would be. Kieran represents the future of the shifter world and the gods wanted to make sure he would be able to fulfill his destiny, which means you are part of their plan. Throughout our history, hatred has caused the death of many shifters. At first, because we are special, humans hated us and when we went underground to hide our identities, hatred sprung up from within the shifter world itself, dividing us when gay shifters were singled out.
“But this was not always the case. Long before I was born, gay shifters were accepted in the shifter world and they lived without fear. In fact, at one time, no distinction was made between male shifters who loved other male shifters or males who loved females. Shifter society worked together to solve problems facing them and, as a result, the shifter world enjoyed great prosperity.”
“Why isn’t this history taught to us as children?” Logan asked, thinking of his own childhood.
“As hate grew in the shifter world and firmly took root, the High Council, in response to the demands of a small but vocal minority, acceded to their demands and ordered all references to that part of our history stricken. At the time, the High Council thought they were doing the right thing. In hindsight, it only engendered more hate. The gods and Fates knew they had to do something so when Kieran’s mother asked them to protect her son, they saw it as a perfect opportunity to stem the hateful tide.”
“So, my mate is a guinea pig for some great experiment of the gods and Fates?” growled Logan.
“No,” said Oracle, shaking her head, “he is not a ‘guinea pig’ as you put it. At the moment, he is a unique shifter designed to change the shifter world, so it can become better for everyone. And he has the power to have pupsso more will be born with his abilities to continue what he has started. It took many years to get to this point and it will take many more to undo the damage. Kieran is the first one given the task of bringing compassion, love and hope to the shifter world.”
“You keep talking about the shifter world. Do you mean all shifters or just wolf shifters?” asked Logan.
“All shifters. Kieran has already started with Theo and Norman…which brings me to your gift. The gods and Fates know that you, as a wolf shifter, are very protective and proprietary about who Kieran interacts with and they want to avoid any friction between the two of you due to that interaction with other species of shifters. So, they have decided to give you the gift of shapeshifting into any shifter species, so you can always be at your mate’s side.”
