“Whatever the fuck that is, I’m going to kill it.”
Quintus snapped his eyes open and looked around the bedroom when he heard someone speaking beside him.
What the fuck happened last night?
He remembered opening the door, and Scott being there. He closed his eyes for a second and sat up when it all came rushing back to him. Quintus’s face flushed with heat when he recalled how wanton he had been with Scott the night before.
For a virgin, I sure talk big.
Scott growled, reminding him that the alarm clock on his phone was going off. He snickered as he crawled over the vampire to turn it off. He was about to get out of bed when an arm wrapped around his waist, pulling him back.
“Where the hell are you going?”
Fuck, he has a sexy morning growl.
“For my morning run with Donald.”
“And you do this every morning?” Scott opened his eyes and glared at him.
“Yes, it’s part of my ritual.”
“Any way I can change your mind and convince you to stay in bed with me?”
“Maybe,” Quintus said, resting a hand on his cheek. He was about to lean in for a kiss but stopped when he heard the back door open then close. “Donald’s here. I need to get ready for our run.”
“I guess I should leave,” Scott said. Quintus didn’t like the idea. He wanted to make breakfast for the man before they separated for the day.
“No, don’t leave,” he said. “Go back to sleep. When I get back from my run, I’ll make you breakfast.”
“Are you trying to impress me with your cooking skills?”
“Is that so wrong? I want a repeat of what happened last night. Except I don’t want your fingers inside of me.”
“Not until you can tell me why,” Scott told him.
Why can’t you see why?
Quintus wanted to stay but realized Scott was right. If he couldn’t say the word, they were not ready to take the next step.
“Go for your run. I’ll be here when you get back. I promise not to snoop around either.”
Snoop all you want.I want you to know everything about me, like I want to know about you.Quintus wanted to say. “You promise?” he asked instead.
Instead of answering, Scott kissed him, setting his world on fire. He was almost tempted to send Donald home and take the day off from work. He was due for some vacation time.
Scott pulled back after a few sweet and tender kisses.
“How is that for a promise?”
Quintus hummed after licking his lips. “I like it.”
“This is going to sound selfish. But until we know exactly what we’re doing, let’s keep this between us. I know it’s going to be hard living in a town of shifters and all sorts of paranormal, but I’m not ready to share. As a matter of fact, I don’t share the things I consider my prized possessions. I’m a greedy bastard, kitty.”
Fuck. Claim and possess me now.
“That’s not selfish, I was thinking the same thing,” Quintus said, trying to hide the excited quiver in his voice. “I don’t share either, my vampire.”
“Good. I’m glad we can agree on something.” Scott claimed his mouth again. It was as if their kisses were another way of laying claim to each other.
