Blayde’s eyebrows drew together and he moved restlessly in his chair. Ryan came over to sit beside him on the chair arm. “But I’ll do it for you, Alpha, if youwant me to. ”
Blayde pulled him down into his lap. “Be careful, Ryan. I could show them how I spank this little ass too. ”
Nikolai laughed at the exchange. “Ryan, I have to say I never thought anybody could handle my cousin, but I think you’re well on the way to doing it. Blayde, I stilldon’t know how you managed to get Ryan to call you master. ”
Ryan looked blank. “Huh? What do you mean? I never call him master. Are you kidding me?”
Nikolai looked puzzled. “You just did, Ryan. I heard you say Alpha. ”
“Yeah?” Ryan looked blank. “So? It’s what he told me to call him when I first met him. It’s his rank in the pack, and I’m supposed to. ”
Nikolai laughed out loud. “Is that what he told you?”
Ryan turned in Blayde’s lap and narrowed his eyes at him. “Blayde? What does he mean?”
Blayde tried to hide his smile, but the attempt was not successful. “We only call Lucas Alpha. When our mate calls usAlpha, it’s kind of like saying master. ”
Ryan turned to look at him with his eyebrows raised. “You mean to tell me I’ve been calling you masterall this time?” He struggled to get out of Blayde’s lap, but he held onto him easily.
“Now, baby. I like the way you call me Alpha. ”
“Oh, I’ll bet you do!” He wrenched himself out of Blayde’s lap and gave him a long look. Turning on his heel, he rushed out of the room and down the hall.
As he stalked into the bedroom, he could hear Blayde sigh deeply. “Shit. I suppose I’d better go take care of that. ”
* * * * Ryan was by the window and stood there fidgeting restlessly as Blayde came in. He whirled around to face him, but only gave him a quick glance and turned his back on him again, staring back out at the desolate landscape.
Blayde leaned against the door frame. “What now, Ryan? Angry at me because I tricked you into calling me master?I’m sorry, baby, but it was kind of a joke. ”
“I don’t know, Blayde,” Ryan said softly. “Are you sure you don’t like it?”
Blayde straightened up in irritation and forced himself to speak calmly. “Well, hell, of course I like it. You know I like to bein charge, but I won’t force the issue if you hate it so much. The relationship between Lycans and their mates is an ancient tradition. I’m the head of our household, and I make the decisions for both of us. I’ll make sure you are happy and satisfied, and I’ll take care of you always. Your only duty is to me. It’s your job to give me pleasure, just as it’s my job to see to your pleasure. I told you back on the ship that you must trust me to care for you. That’s just the way it is for Lycans, and I have no desire to change it. I’ll do anything to clear your name and secure our future together. If calling me Alpha, or acting submissive is that much of a strain for you, though, then I’ll try to tone it down some. I want you to be happy. ”
At Ryan’s continued silence, Blayde stepped further into the room, closing the door behind him. Nervous, despite his confident words, he edged closer to his lover. “When we get to the Lycandelegation’s embassy, you’ll see how their mates behave. They don’t stomp and yell and give their mates dirty looks. Some of them wear a thong and sit at their mates’ feet. In contrast, I’ve been pretty damn lenient with you, and patient. Are you listening to me, Ryan?”
Ryan turned slowly around and regarded Blayde with those glittering green eyes. His long lashes lowered, almost sweeping his cheeks as he dropped his gaze to the floor. “Oh, I’m listening, Blayde. I was just wondering when you’re going to stop lecturing me and start showing me the discipline I need. You’re always telling me you’re in charge. Why don’t you show me? I’ve been prettybad. A good master would take care of that. ”
Blayde hissed in a breath and took another step toward his mate, his heart suddenly thumping loudly in his chest. “But I thought…you seemed angry when you left the room just then. ”
“Not angry, Blayde. Surprised. Excited. Thinking about how, as my master, you can make me do anything you want. And how, as a good mate, I can please you. I want to please you, Blayde. ”
Ryan’s words went straight to Blayde’s cock and his erection was straining now against his pants. “You’re right, sweetheart. I need to take care of you very badly. Take off your clothes. ”
Ryan quickly unbuttoned his shirt and slipped it off, folding it neatly and placing it on a nearby dresser. He took off his jeans and underwear and placed them alongside his shirt. He turned to face Blayde then, eyes still downcast, the only hint of his excitement in the slight flush along his cheeks and the rapid rising and falling of his chest. That and the huge erection now curving up in front of him.
“Stand by the bed, pet. ”
Dutifully, Ryan crossed to the bed. Blayde came up behind him. “Lean over and put your hands on the mattress. ”
When he was in place, his rounded ass held up invitingly, Blayde put a hand under his stomach to support him. “I think five will be enough for this infraction, don’t you, baby? Be still, and take your punishment like a good boy. ”
“Yes, Blayde,” Ryan said softly, shivering with what Blayde hoped was excitement. With his hand under Ryan’s stomach, he could feel Ryan’s erection bobbing against his hand as he shifted his weight a bit. His mate was excited, all right. His erection was hard and hot against his hand. Blaydecouldn’t resist brushing the back of his hand against it.
“Ready, sweetheart?” he asked. Then brought his other hand down smartly on the pretty cheeks in front of him, spanking Ryan squarely in the middle of his ass. Ryan grunted and shifted his feet again.
“Be still. Stop fidgeting. You’ve been bad, as you said, and you deserve this. ”
“Yes, Blayde. I’m sorry, sir. ”
