I’d probably never see them again.And I couldn’t even begin to explain how sad that idea made me.
ChapterFifteen
MASON
It took us a week to settle our parents into the house that had once been ours but was now theirs.At first, they didn’t want to see anyone outside of Leo and myself.They’d been too ashamed of how long they’d been gone and how thin and frail they were compared to everyone else in the pack.
But every day that went by brought them more strength and confidence and eventually they seemed more ready to get back out into the world.Back to the pack they’d been born into.
Leo and I had settled on the new project house, and were set to move in.We tried not to leave our parents at home alone, so we took alternating shifts at work, trying to juggle everything.
It wasn’t easy, but we made it work.Just.I opened the front door and ran a hand through my hair.I’d just swapped out with Leo at the apartment we were gutting, and it was time for me to have a break.
“When are you going to see Tania again?”Mom asked from where she stood at the kitchen counter, cutting up some vegetables as she made dinner.
I slid onto one of the stools and sighed, exhaustion from the day settling across me.“I don’t know.”I missed her, with a bone-deep gnawing need.
Mom laughed.“What do you mean, you don’t know?When your father and I met, and the fated mated link made itself known, we couldn’t keep our hands off each other.”
Dad had filled Mom in on all the particulars very quickly, and happily, they’d been very supportive of the double up fated mate bond.
“Tania hasn’t exactly been jumping up and down to date either one of us,” I told her.“Quite the opposite in fact.”
The only time I’d tried to kiss her, she’d practically recoiled in horror.Looking back, I was surprised she hadn’t slapped me.
Mom came over and placed her hand on mine.“Mason.I know that you haven’t had an easy time.The last fifteen years have been torture for all of us.We felt so… helpless.We truly despaired and would have ended our lives if it wasn’t for you boys.You were our hope.You were our saving grace.”
Mom stopped to wipe away the tears that spilled onto her cheeks.
“It’s okay.”I patted her hand, “You don’t need to say anything else.”
“It’s not okay.It has to be said.”She stopped to take a breath, then continued.“Mason, I know you both killed yourselves working, to make money to bring us home.I know that you’ve both barely stopped.You’ve never had a long-term relationship, and you’ve never been on a vacation, let alone left the state.”
I scrubbed my free hand over my bristled chin.“We had to save you, Mom.There wasn’t any time for anything else.”And I would have felt guilty if I’d turned away from my mission, even for a minute.
Mom leaned over the counter and kissed my cheek.
I pulled away.“Don’t.I need a shower.”I was grimy and sweat encrusted from the day.
She laughed.“Sweetheart.You are a wonderful man, and I’m so proud of you.Your father and I… we both are.And we thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for saving us from our fate.But it’s time for you to have a life.It’s time for a family… for you to be with your mate.”
She squeezed my hand once more, then tutted as she walked over to the stove.“Why don’t you have some dinner and then go to that gym of hers?You have to start somewhere, and there’s never a better time than the present.”
She was right, of course.Mom was always right, and I’d missed her great advice over the years she’d been gone.But I was out of energy and time too.Or that’s how it felt anyway.“I’m going to have a quick shower.I’ll be back soon.”
I trudged up the stairs and despite the lethargy in my limbs, my cock grew hard within the confines of the shower as images of Tania filled my head.Hot water beat down on my shoulders and ran down my back, my mate’s face and voluptuous body the only thing in my mind.
She was so beautiful, and yet she didn’t seem to think so.I wanted to make sure she knew how desired she was.Once I got her into bed, I’d lick her from the tips of her toes up to the curve of those luscious lips.And everything in between.
I wanted to make her cum so hard she passed out.I wanted to hear her scream my name in the heights of her ecstasy, her pussy squeezing my cock tight.I’d never wanted a woman the way I wanted Tania, and my mother was right.The time to pursue her had arrived.
I grabbed my cock and stroked myself while I imagined my beautiful mate.I couldn’t stop the orgasm that slammed into me as I thought about Tania writhing beneath me.My seed blasted over the shower tiles, draining my energy away.I had no control, my body hungered for her so badly.
When I was finally clean again, I dressed and ate dinner quickly, before taking Mom’s advice and heading over to Tania’s gym.
Leo was still at the apartment, plastering, but I wanted time with Tania, to mend whatever bridges I’d damaged the other day.
The gym was still humming when I arrived.It was just after eight o’clock and the place was full.Heavy metal music was pumping, and people were grunting and straining under the weight of whatever they were lifting.
