“I’m…” Yes. I was something. “I think the word is relaxed, but better. I’m not…I’m not sure if I can explain it.”

Ha.

Got it out.

Blaine’s wonderful rumbling made it even better as the sensations washed through me. With the mix of wearing pants but being held down, my cock really didn’t know what we were doing. But he stayed half-interested as my mate snuggled with me, though, because he liked butting into all kinds of things.

I just ignored him because he didn’t need attention at the moment, but I couldn’t help imagining Blaine in his other form. This one liked the attention petting him was getting, but my mind kept filling in other ways that I could please his human form.

That definitely had my cock back to wondering what we were doing, and Blaine’s chuffing laugh said he could tell what direction my thoughts had taken. But nothing in his reactions said he had an issue with it, so I just let my imagination play as he kept me snuggled against him.

Besides, it was his fault I could bring up such a clear picture of his naked body, so I wasn’t going to worry about getting turned on by it.

Especially since he’d done his best to give me a variety of material to work from. Yeah, all that posing in the shower hadn’t gone unnoticed, but it’d taken me a little while to realize my vanilla-looking mate thoroughly enjoyed teasing me.

He also enjoyed making sure I was completely relaxed because my live weighted blanket didn’t budge even as I alternated between dozing and fantasizing. Part of me wondered what it would’ve been like to have joined him in the shower, but a bigger piece kept coming back to being restrained and controlled.

My sexy mate liked studying and had taken to internet research like he’d been born with access to it. Sure, he had a lot of questions and had a hard time wrapping his mind around how crazy the world had gotten, but he was fascinated with storiesof gay couples being together for years and slightly confused by pictures of Pride.

And possibly horrified.

It was hard to tell because he’d stopped talking at that point and had gone back to researching other things on his curious list.

Everything from recent history to the DC comic universe was on it, but as far as I could tell, the one thing it didn’t contain was anything about his own family.

But that wasn’t what either of us wanted to think about now, so I pushed it to the back of my mind again and focused on his weight and the way his rumbling purr had started back up. It chased every other thought away until I was back to relaxed and telling my dick to behave.

It didn’t…or maybe couldn’t.

I’d just spent too many days without having the privacy to play with myself and it’d all led up to my small breakdown and fabulous orgasm. It was so good I couldn’t help wondering how it would’ve been if I hadn’t been mid-meltdown.

There was no way to tell how long we spent napping and cuddling, but as my mind wandered back to him in the shower, my mate finally stood up on all fours and braced himself over me. “Hey.”

Suddenly being able to move felt weird, but I reached up and ran my hands over his head and neck. “Thank you for taking care of me.”

Something in the air started to tingle but I didn’t look away this time as I rested my hands on the bed.

Magic was still weird but this time there was a faint glow that wasn’t as overwhelming and magic almost seemed to whirl around him as Blaine was just suddenly human-looking.

Naked and human-looking.

Naked, human-looking, and hard…braced over me.

What had I been saying?

“You really are magic.” Hmm, maybe that hadn’t been what I was saying. “Part of my brain wants to just classify you as another species like we would for regular science stuff, but that’s not it at all. Well, maybe that’s part of it.”

Oh.

As I opened my mouth to apologize, because that might’ve been rude, Blaine lowered his body until I was stuck under my naked mate.

It was very different than his shifted mate form and it made my cock even more confused than it had been before. Human form mate meant I could ogle him but my dick still had to behave because he’d already gotten lots of attention.

I was hoping it was Blaine’s turn because his smirk said he was feeling very confident about something…possibly his growing dominant side. “You’ve mated to a shifter, so I’m pretty sure that makes you magic too.”

Oh.

That was a topic I’d have to think about later.
