CHAPTER 12
PERRY
The restof the day takes forever. I can’t wait to see the look on Buckle’s face when he sees what I have in store for him and Abel. I’m hoping Abel embraces my entire life. He may have grown up in a place that repressed pleasure, but I plan to help him learn there’s nothing wrong with wanting it. I’m sure Buckle will have no objection to being my co-teacher.
At exactly 6pm sharp, there’s a knock at my door. Buckle’s dressed in nice slacks and a button-up shirt.
He licks his lips as his eyes drag down my body. “Damn, you look good enough to eat.”
I pose a few times, letting him take everything in. “I’m glad you like what you see, Alpha.”
Buckle growls. “I love when you call me that.”
“Alpha.”
“Mmmmm.” He pulls me into his arms. “Can I?”
“Yeah.” I’m breathless when he presses his lips to mine. My cock hardens as Buckle ruts against me.
“Mmmmm, Alpha, we have someplace to be.”
He pulls away and scents my throat. “I know. I hate that Abel is right. I just want to fuck.”
“I know. And we will, but I don’t think I’m ready either. He’s got a good idea to get to know us first. We’re just acting on instinct. On lust. Expectations.”
I press a finger to his lips when he starts to say something.
“And there’s nothing wrong with it. But I wonder if Abel being wary of Fate is the right way to go. Hawk Ridge is all kinds of messed up, but...”
I take a deep breath. “There’s a reason I left home. Opossum Nook wasn’t much better than Hawk Ridge in some ways. I grew up repressed, but I went the complete opposite of Abel. I embrace what was shunned. I teach pleasure.”
I walk my fingers up Buckle’s chest and he shivers. “I allow myself to pleasure and be pleasured. I don’t shy away from things that scare me.” I hug Buckle close. “And I think we’ll be good for Abel, but we need to go slow with him. I think he’ll be worth the wait if we don’t scare him away.”
Buckle threads his fingers through my hair, and I lean into him. “Let’s go get our Beta.”
“He might hate me tonight, but I won’t make him do anything he doesn’t want to.”
“I’m intrigued. You’re not worried about me, though?”
“No.” I snort. “You’ll love it and have a blast. I just know it.”
“I’m a little worried about this dress code, though.”
“Don’t be.” I grab my keys and follow him out. “Abel doesn’t live too far. Shouldn’t take us long to get there.”
Buckle opens my door for me and helps me into the truck. He starts to buckle me in, but I give him a look.
“Sorry.”
We kiss before he shuts me in and hops into the driver side. He’s got good taste in music and we sing along as he drives.
Abel’s already outside waiting for us. My stomach does a little flip. He’s adorable in a pair of khakis and a dress shirt while he shifts from side to side. A grin splits his face, and he waveswhen he spots us. I open my door, then slide to the middle seat. Abel launches himself next to me before Buckle can even undo his seat belt.
“I ate a little bit. I hope that’s okay.”
“That’s perfect.” I take his hand after he clips in the seat belt. “Onward, Alpha.” That makes them both chuckle.
“I kinda need to know where first.”
