It looked bigger up close and I found myself reaching for it, barely running my fingers down the softening length until I got to his knot. The rest of his cock looked underwear model big but not porn star startling. The knot was obvious enough that I’d have known he was something more incredible than human right away, though.

“That’s going to feel so good in you, little slut.” Braun’s tender but dirty words sent a shiver through me. “Kiss, Wölfchen. Show me you know how a good sub behaves when his Dom is generous and lets him play.”

Play with Braun’s cock.

He was letting me play with it because he was my Dom and he was in charge.

The logic played over and over in my head but it felt far away as I leaned in and brushed my lips against his knot.

The knot that was going to tie me to him.

“That’s my sweet mate.” The deep tone in his voice sent another shiver through me and got a pleased sound from him as reality seemed to drift in and out. “My needy, naughty mate.”

I had a mate.

Yes…that was the only thing I needed to remember.

I had a mate.

Chapter 20

Braun

He’d nuzzled and kissed and stroked his way through our shower, but once the water was off, I could see his mind whirling again.

“I didn’t see you shift.” Blinking as I wrapped his towel around him, Dorian frowned again. “That was the plan.”

“Are you saying you’re not ready for me to get dressed yet or is this about that whole big and bossy thing?” I couldn’t resist teasing him because it got the sexiest glares and huffs from him. “I guess that’s better than big and dumb.”

As he gave me startled wide eyes, I laughed. “The last time I tried to date a human…ages ago, Wölfchen…he called me a himbo.”

It’d taken some googling to realize I should’ve been offended by that.

Dorian’s mouth fell open. “What?”

Clearly he’d run into that expression too. “Somehow the humans have gotten it into their heads that being large and nice is a bad thing.”

“That’s insane.” Giving his head a shake, he frowned again. “I knew you were smart and sexy and…and competent before you’deven started screaming into the phone. You weren’t even rude to that crazy couple who were arguing about water.”

That was one marriage that wasn’t going to last.

Unlike my mating with my sexy math teacher.

“Thank you.” Giving him a quick peck, I ran the towel over his head before wiping away the last few stray drops of water trailing down his sexy chest. “Would you like to see me shift now?”

There wouldn’t be a better time to do it, especially since we had privacy just in case he panicked. I didn’t think that was likely since he’d already seen Emeric but I was just a bit larger and emotions weren’t always logical.

Whatever he was thinking had him standing straighter and looking serious. “Yes. I need to see my mate in both his forms, and on a selfish note, I don’t want anyone to think I was too scared to do it. Someone is going to ask.”

Damn it. My mother was going to be the first to ask because she was the reason my ability to set boundaries was so fucked.

“I think that’s a very practical reason to want to see it.” And it’d keep him focused on logic, not fear. “We also don’t want you startled if I have to shift unexpectedly.”

Nodding slowly, he snuggled closer to me as I wrapped the towel around him. “Like protecting Emeric or something like that. You have something attacking alligators.”

Another very practical reason to see it.

“Very true.” Giving him a quick peck, I nodded toward the bedroom. “How about we get you dressed and you sit down on the bed?”
