When his cum cooled against his skin, Dakota’s brain started to function again.Oh shit! I need to leave beforeanyone finds me here.Wanting one last look at his mate’s face, Dakota raised his eyes. A pair of gorgeous, dark brown eyes stared back at him.

Chapter 6

The last thing Slate expected to find when he opened his eyes was a sexy man drooling over him.Sexy? No that’s not right!A fucking gorgeous man with curly brown hair, tumbling down to his shoulders, full eyebrows over soft brown eyes, high cheekbones leading down to beautiful lips with a hint of a smile, like the man knew a delicious secret. Slate’s eyes roamed over the muscled body, pausing briefly on the hard cock hidden by jeans while the man stared at his chest, then his eyes flashed back to the face that was causing his cock to be rock hard.

There, he found the man’s eyes focused on his cock. Seeing a movement out of the corner of his eye, he glanced down and saw the man’s hand reach out towards him and he held his breath, waiting to see if it would touch him. When the hand was withdrawn, Slate felt disappointment throughout his body. Raising his eyes again to the face that would now haunt his dreams, he waited to see what the man did next. He didn’t have to wait long; the smell of cum washed through the room and his wolf howled his mating call.

Understanding dawned on Slate as he lay there stunned. To wake up and find his mate in his bedroom was beyond all expectations.Mate! My mate!He now understood what the fuss was all about, having a mate. Emotions, stronger than he ever had, rose up as the need to claim warred with the need to protect.He’s mine…all mine…forever!Joy and happiness, the likes, of which he never knew existed, bubbled through his heart and soul while his wolf tried to surge forward to bite his mate. His body became hot as his blood boiled, anticipating the taking of his mate. Trying to keep up with all of his reactions, Slate almost missed the look of panic on hismate’s face. Wanting to reassure the man, he uttered, “Mate…my mate.”

Dakota’s mouth dropped as he realized Slate knew who he was and the knowledge finally freed his feet from the imaginary block of ice they were encased in. With a cry of dismay, echoing throughout the room, Dakota fled down the hall and stairs, through the great room until he reached the front door. Throwing it open, he threw himself into a shift. Leaving his clothes shredded and scattered, he bounded, trying to escape a fate worse than death.

Slate remained still, trying to fathom why his mate rejected him.Why? What’s wrong with me?Never facing rejection of any kind before in his life, he discovered how much it hurt.I don’t understand. I thought when I found my mate he would fall into my arms, happy to be there forever...not run away. I need to talk to Mom. I have to find my mate.Jumping out of bed and grabbing his clothes, he dressed as he hurried to the door, eager to find his mate.

Kieran was sitting on Logan’s lap in the living room of their Edinburgh hotel suite when he received a text. “Macushla,guess what?”

Logan shifted his attention from the discussion Ian was having with his parents and turned to his mate. “Hmmm, you’re ready for me to ravish you again? What? This would be the fifth time today?”

Giggling, Kieran said, “No…well I’m always up for that. But this is something different. Something you’ll never guess in a million years.”

Looking closely at his mate, Logan saw the merriment in Kieran’s vivid blue eyes.Oh shit, what is he planning now?Whatever it was, he knew it meant trouble.

“Okay, I give. What’s your surprise?”

“Zane wants to come to Scotland!”

“Huh? Zane? Here? Why?” asked Logan.

“Of course here, silly. Is there another Scotland you know of because I don’t and I spent years studying every country on earth and as far as I know there is only one Scotland and that’s where we are.” Looking down at the next text, Kieran said, “Zane said he hasn’t been anywhere…not even to college…because your parents were killed before he had a chance to go. Oh that is so sad. Ohmacushla,please? We’ll have so much fun I know Fionn will love to meet him and even though Zane is older , I know they will be best of friends just like Theo and Norman are my bestest friends. You know Zane needs a friend cuz he is very lonely and Fionn needs a friend because he is also lonely and they would be perfect for each other.”

“Babe, friendships just don’t happen that way. If they are meant to be friends then they will be but don’t expect too much. I have no objection to Zane joining us but let’s make sure everyone agrees before you text him back.”

“No problemo! Go ahead, ask now because he’s waiting for an answer.”

“Fine. Hey everyone,” Logan called out, waiting until he had their attention. “We just got a text from Zane who wants to know if it’s okay with everyone if he joins us next week.”

Theo let out a shout. “That’s fantastic! We’re going to have so much fun. Fionn, wait until you meet him.”

“Who’s Zane?” asked Fionn.

“He’s our youngest brother,” answered Colton.

“He helped me set up my ‘Cum and Bite Me’ dance club so Theo and Norman would know why I wanted to take them to one,” Kieran said.

“Cool,” said Fionn.

“Miss L, do you care if Zane joins our group?” asked Norman.

“Goodness, no. I always say the more the merrier.”

Logan glanced at Colton and Ian, waiting for their decision while they consulted with Ian’s parents. Sensing their hesitation, Logan added, “Colton…Ian? I’ll assume full responsibility for Zane. You don’t have to worry about him interfering with your plans at all.”

After reaching a decision, Colton said, “Thanks, Logan. We’d be happy if Zane joins us. By the way, we just found out something last night that’s changed our plans for next week. We’ll be gone for a couple of days, meeting Ian’s subjects…”

“They’re your subjects too, consort,” grinned Ian.

“Subjects? What the fu...I mean, what are you talking about?” asked Logan, raising his eyebrows.
