“It was,” he agrees, his gaze going dreamy.
Clearly, he’s thinking about something he did with his mates.
Our mates.
It might not be official, yet, but all of us are fated to be bonded together.
His mates will be mine, and mine will be his, and we’ll be together, too.
“I never imagined I might be destined for a pack,” I tell him.
He nods slowly. “I never thought I was destined for anything. Then, I met them. Everything I thought I knew got turned upside down in an instant. Suddenly, I knew where I was supposed to be, and what I needed to be doing with my life. It just all came together in a moment. A single minute. A handful of seconds. I don’t know, but it was fast.”
“It feels good to be sure about something.”
“It’s like being hit by lightning,” he says. “It’s never going to hit you again, so you’d better make damn sure you’re paying attention to the message it brings.”
“And how did you feel when you met me?” I ask.
He smiles. “I was attracted instantly, and I knew you were going to be ours.”
“How did you know?”
“Have you seen our pack?” he asks, raising an eyebrow at me. “Echo with his sultry goth look, Spencer with that bronzed God appeal, and E.A. … E.A. is such an uptight asshole, but he’s so fucking hot. I never even look at anyone else, Leanne. I don’t want to. I don’t need to. At least, I didn’t, until I met you.”
God, he’s so sweet, and so earnest.
“You’re the first guy I felt attracted to in as long as I can remember,” I remind him. “If this hadn’t been fated, I would have called you. Even if you look a little younger than me.”
His skin flushes. “There’s two years of a difference. Does that really matter?”
I shake my head. “I might have tried to use it as an excuse not to call, but that’s only because I felt a little self-conscious around you. Hot younger guys usually don’t give me their numbers.”
He laughs. “I’m not hot. If anything, I’m cute.”
“You dress kind of cute,” I decide as I take a step toward him. “But you’re smart, and sweet, and you have those big, dark eyes. Clearly, you have no idea how hot that makes you, which is insane considering how many people find you as sexy as I do.”
He swallows as I stop in front of him and push the collar down on his denim jacket.
I stroke a hand up his throat, and he leans into my gentle touch.
“Two incredibly attractive men marked you as theirs,” I murmur, starting to feel aroused as I imagine what they must have done to claim him. Watching Spencer make out with him was steamy enough to make my panties damp and my heart race. “They claimed you, and you claimed them. You’re hot, Toshi. Face the facts.”
I lean in and kiss him, and he puts his hands on my hips, moving closer.
He kisses me back slowly, his lips soft and his movements hesitant.
I can understand why our pack weren’t sure he was ready.
He needs to build a little more confidence to feel like he’s as sure as he says he is.
I break the kiss. “You taste like Echo’s perfume.”
He flushes again. “He tastes like his perfume.”
His blushes are cute, and I bet someone’s already told him that.
“I like tasting him on your lips.”
