No, better yet, cuddle on a couch with both of them, taking turns kissing.
“The dog is next to us,” Arthur whispered, letting go of Titan’s head.
Titan and Beatrix broke the kiss. She looked as dazed as he felt, but her brain seemed to come online quicker than his.
“Dog?” She looked down and smiled. “Aww, look!”
Turning his head to look down at his side, he saw a familiar dog sniffing at his leg. “Cinnamon, how did you get loose?”
Beatrix giggled. “You know the dog?”
Leaning over, he looped the leash in his hand around Cinnamon’s head. “Yeah, he’s an escape artist. This is the third time I’ve been called to get him. This is a little further than he normally goes.”
Before Titan could pull out his phone to call Glen, the dog’s owner, he heard the man yelling.
“Cinnamon! Cccccinnamoooon!”
He could tell neither of his mates could hear Glen, but then again, he was a wolf shifter with excellent hearing. Even in his human form it was better than a vampire.
“You guys wait here, I’ll be right back,” he instructed. He stepped away from his mates and grabbed the dog. He turned to run out of the alley but suddenly got scared and turned back to face his mates.
“You won’t leave, will you?” He half expected them to laugh at him, but Beatrix nodded and Arthur looked solemn.
“I swear we'll wait here for you, Titan,” he said, making Titan’s shoulders relax.
“I’ll hurry,” Titan promised, then sprinted away. He found Glen a quarter of a mile away holding a broken leash. That explained tonight’s escape.
He shoved Cinnamon into Glen’s arms with the loop leash still around the dog’s neck. “Here! Try not to lose him again.”
Before Glen could say anything, Titan turned on his heels and ran back to his mates. Even though he trusted them not to leave, it was still a relief to see them standing in the exact spot where he’d left them.
“That was fast!” Beatrix exclaimed with a welcoming smile.
“Glen was just over there looking for Cinnamon,” Titan explained, standing close. He wanted to touch them but was scared of crossing boundaries.
“We’re all going to my home,” Arthur announced.
Arthur was still holding Beatrix’s hand. With his free hand, he grabbed the back of Titan’s neck. The firm hold made something deep in Titan calm and settle.
“Yes, I’d like that,” Titan agreed. Tomorrow, Kelly and Noah were going to do the morning feeding, cleaning, and health checks. He didn’t need to be at the rescue until ten. He had all night to spend with his mates.
“We’re doing this?” Beatrix said. The tone of her voice clearly meant she was mostly talking to herself. “I only met both of you a few minutes ago, and now I’m going with you to some unknown place for sex?”
Worry filled Titan. “We could cuddle and talk all night and get to know each other. We don’t have to have sex. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”
“Damn, you’re really sweet,” Beatrix murmured.
“His aura is nothing but soft pinks and lavender,” Arthur said. “He doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body.”
Titan huffed out a little laugh. “That’s true.”
Beatrix arched a brow at Arthur. “You think you can see auras?”
Titan was about to remind her that all vampires could see auras but then caught himself. Most humans didn’t know about wolf shifters or vampires. They didn’t know about all the magic that lived side by side with them in this world.
He rolled his eyes to look at Arthur. The vampire’s expression was carefully blank. Yeah, it looked like their human didn’t know yet.
He’d bet his last slip leash that Arthur wasn’t looking forward to telling her any more than he was.
