He grinned as he let out a pleased sigh. “There were times that you thought you were crazy.”

He was going to be a pain in the butt.

“You only know that because I told you.” I’d told him a lot, and I was betting some of that was going to come back and bite me in the ass. “It was only polite to keep talking since you couldn’t always respond.”

Remembering to ask simple yes or no questions had been hard.

My logic seemed reasonable to me but the way he raised one eyebrow as he thoroughly cleaned the shaft of his cock again made me question it. “There were things you didn’t like talking to me about.”

Brat.

I’d somehow gotten a brat for a mate.

Was this my punishment for the fireworks incident? The knife thing?

Those hadn’t been my fault.

“You…you weren’t human-looking enough for some of the stuff you were curious about.” I could talk about anything, but I wasn’t going to explain to the large cat-like thing pinning me to the bed why my body was confused.

Mate or not.

“I’m human-looking now.” His hand tightened around the base to make sure I could see that. “But we’re going to have our date and get to know each other in new ways first.”

How could he be playing with himself and make that sound so polite?

Did he realize he was playing with himself?

He was playing with himself, right?

“I…” What had I been going to say? “Yes. We’re going to have our first date.”

Wasn’t that what we’d said?

Blaine smiled and finally released his cock. “I’ve been looking forward to this.”

Oh.

I.

He.

That.

Taking the soap, he bent over and used it to scrub his legs, offering up his ass to the spray. “We’re just going to take it one step at a time like you said this morning. A date. Talking together instead of mostly at me. Cuddling later.”

One step at a time.

Yes.

Oh.

He jerked.

Had the spray hit him some place…interesting?

Did that mean he was a bottom or just easily startled?

Sensitive?
