hell of a hangover from whatever the Queen dosed me with. I mean, yeah, I wanted to toss what little food I didn’t have in my stomach, but I’m good now.”
“I felt guilty for not staying with you, but I wasn’t strong enough, Mav. I thought if you woke up all worried about Asterio again I’d break mentally.”
“I know, cub. I wasn’t upset in the least, okay? This wasn’t your fault and it hurt you, and for that I’m sorry.” He nodded and I gave him another kiss, this time with tongue. “Now, about Asterio accepting my blow job instead of paying attention to you.” Tyler’s eyes flared with anger. “Now, just hear me out.”
“Fine.”
“He met both of us today and he probably knew you better, right?” I waited until he nodded. “So he didn’t know how I normally was with you after sex. For all he knew I could have been fucking around or being a jerk or who knows. But I did have my fangs by his dick. Would you have risked pissing me off right then?”
“No, I didn’t think about it like that,” he mumbled.
“I’m just saying he’s been through a lot, too, so maybe cut him a little slack on that. I’m sure he’s more than willing to make up for his blunder as I am.”
“I could have forgiven that, but he thinks I’m a whore. He wants to change my wolf tendencies.”
“No I don’t,” Asterio said firmly as he pushed me off Tyler. “See, now I pushed him to get to you, so there.” I couldn’t help but smile at that one. “I’ve been in your world less than thirty-six hours, Tyler. Hell, I did throw up after crossing over and felt like ass all day yesterday. I’m scrambling to learn all I can then I meet you and wow, did that send my mind reeling.
“And you’re gorgeous and I’m huge and so I kept thinking, would I hurt him? Would I be enough? Does he wish I was a wolf or a vampire like Mav? Then I just start to get past that and then I learn what you’re into sexually, which is hot by the way. And then my brain won’t stop running. What if I can’t satisfy you? Will my lack of experience show? Then Mav starts acting strange and I just had no idea how to handle that.
“So I handled it poorly. I was scared. What if the effects were permanent? Would you hate me for changing him? Did you blame me? And then the Queen, who’s like my mother, is yelling at me and you’re leaving. So I race after you and I see another warrior touching you and all my earlier worries came to the front of my mind. Maybe you didn’t want me anymore and I handled that even worse. Then you wanted to have sex.
“I was already spinning and then all the blood in my body went to my dick. So none was left in my brain by the way. And you wanted it in front of my friends. I didn’t understand the submission thing. I saw it as me using you and thought you wanted me to use you like a toy. I’m sorry I didn’t know enough about wolf culture that I insulted you and I suck. I admit that. But please, cub. Just take one minute and see all this from my perspective!
“I can’t ever seem to get my feet under me. Hell, the only time I’ve felt solid and not like I’m spinning out of control is when the demons showed up. I knew I could protect us all. I knew it. I won’t ever let them take you or hurt my mates. Even if I have to put a protective barrier around our house every night to keep you safe, I will. Please, Tyler.”
Wow, that was an impressive ramble! Asterio seemed almost hysterical by the end of it. And now that I had a moment to see things from his perspective, I didn’t blame him. I could see Tyler felt the same.
“Next time if you’re not okay with having sex in front of your friends, you lean over and nip my neck,” Tyler whispered hesitantly. “It shows me and any wolves around that you understand I was submitting to you and accept me. It wasn’t just what you said, Asterio. You basically denied me as your mate in front of them. I get that you didn’t understand that, but it still
