Running over what I’d said, I realized we hadn’t even talked over what I’d already decided through the night. That I was ready to jump into this with him.
We were seeing where it went.
He wasn’t backing out of something with me now.
“Ask Riker about fated mates” was all Deacon said before he ended the call.
Riker’s gaze widened.
“You heard?” I asked, placing the phone back in its cradle.
His eyes darted all around me. He placed his glass down and started to back toward the hallway. “I have to go. I think. I don’t know. But I’m suddenly worried.”
“Why?”
Riker shook his head.
“If you move another step, I’ll tan your ass, Riker Blackwood.’
He froze.
All except his lips, which tipped up into a wicked grin.
CHAPTER FOUR
RIKER
The fear over Corbin learning about fated mates and then rejecting the idea of being stuck with me forever fled when he decided to get kinky.
I placed my hands on my hips, grinned, and then said, “That’s no punishment for me, big man. I like a bit of spanking. And choking. Hair pulling is a plus as well.” I winked.
“Why were you worried?”
He popped my desire like a pin to a balloon. My shoulders sagged, and I dropped my hands. “No reason. But I would?—”
“If you talk to me, I’ll kiss you.”
My cock perked up and decided it was time to fatten.
But is a kiss worth the risk of losing him when he hears about being mine?
Yes.
A kiss was worth the risk when the prize was my mate offering me those very kissable lips, which had more stubble surrounding them this morning. Would he grow a beard if I asked? I’d like to know what his beard would feel like between my legs while he ate my ass like it was the best treat in the world.
I’d never been with anyone who had a beard. But I could imagine Corbin with one. Dark like his hair. Black with maybe gray tinting it? Salt and pepper, then. I liked salt better than pepper because then I could call him my silver fox daddy.
A blast of arousal spread through my body, and I had to move from one foot to another, squeezing my ass cheeks together.
“Riker.”
Right, kiss.
Yes, please.
Hopefully.
“I’m worried because I think that once you learn what a fated mate is you’ll want me gone, and I’ll never get to see you again.” I waited for him to say something, but he didn’t. My belly dropped, and I clutched my hands to my chest to push them against my rapid-beating heart. Reluctantly, I told him, “You and me, we’re fated mates. There aren’t many. Except for some reason, my brothers and I have been gifted with one. A fated mate forms a connection between us that lasts forever. It can’t be broken and is sealed once we have sex and I bite you. I don’t understand how it works, but it does, and it’s something rare and wonderful. But the thought of you believing I’m not worth the trouble is like a sledgehammer to the heart. I can be a handful, Corbin. I know it. My brothers know it. But I can’t change who I am and what I do.”
