.A slap on his bare ass made him yelp and Jace's face wentbright red as he felt the remains of Link's release trickle105The Link That Binds Dawn H.Hawkesdown his inner thigh.If anybody saw him like this then& just& fuck!106The Link That Binds Dawn H.HawkesCHAPTER 11Link watched as Jace slept, sprawled all over thebed with the sheets just barely covering the man's ass.Anincredulous smile crept across Link's face.These&feelings he was developing for the guy were unsettling, but,whenever he looked at Jace, all he wanted was to pull himcloser.They'd settled into a sort of routine the past coupleof weeks and during that time Link hadn't stayed a fullnight at the bar, cutting down his hours by a third of whatwas usual.Whenever he tried to stay longer, the scar on theside of his neck would eventually start to itch and heat upand he ended up walking around with a hard-on that justwouldn't quit.So now he'd gone as far as hiring another bartenderto pick up the slack and to keep Trey company wheneverLink needed to take off.By the time Link got back, Jace would either jumphim or be waiting for him in bed, primed and at the ready.Link wasn't a fool, Jace's heat had passed, but it seemed hisown had just started and Jace seemed to have a wonderfultime reminding him.But it wasn't all sex either.Some nights they would107The Link That Binds Dawn H.Hawkesjust sit, somewhat snuggly, on the couch in the pride'smedia room watching some lame-ass comedy and talk&Link couldn't really remember ever just hanging out withanybody like that before.They usually ended up makingout on the couch with Jace rubbing himself all over him.Somehow they always managed to make their way to Jace'sbedroom without really noticing the journey there.Link also loved to tease Jace, he was just so damnadorable when he snapped or started growling at him.Jace had let out a string of curses when, in front ofthe entire pride, Link had pulled him onto his lap at thedinner table, mimicking the way Maddox always seemed tohave his lap full of Leo.Link was almost afraid Jace wouldend up shredding him to tiny bits when he held up the pieceof barely cooked steak to his mate's lips, but was surprisedwhen Jace ate the meat from his hand.Jace's ears had turned a pale pink in the process, ashe grumbled and squirmed every so often, testing Link'sgrip on him.Link was even more surprised to discoverJace's rock-hard dick when he'd put his hand down to rubJace's thigh, almost causing an incident right there at thedinner table.Now, watching Jace sleep, Link had long decidedthat there were a hell of a lot of worse things in the worldthan waking up to the same man every morning for the rest108The Link That Binds Dawn H.Hawkesof his life, particularly if that man happened to be Jace.Jace wasn't just a sexy piece of meat; he was feistyand smart and caring& a bit wicked at times and lewd asall hell.Stretching out his hand, he couldn't help but playwith a stray lock of Jace's hair, tugging on it lightly.Jacemade a rumbling sound and sleepily batted his hand inLink's direction before stilling again, the frown that hadcreased his face vanishing.Link barely managed to suppress a chuckle, turnedout his mate could be pretty damn cute even when he didn'ttry to& although Jace's version of cute leaned more on thenot-so-innocent catholic school girl side.Hearing something vibrate down on the floor, Linkfished his cell-phone out of the pocket of his jeans.Fuck.He had two missed calls from Debra and atext telling him to quit jerking off and answer the damnphone.Glancing back at Jace, Link really didn't lookforward to the talk they would soon need to have.Solomon's deadline was already running out and, wheneverDebra started reaching out to him she usually keptpestering him for weeks before leaving him alone again.Link was worried that Jace might turn him awayonce he knew his secret.He didn't think he would, but still,109The Link That Binds Dawn H.Hawkesthere was always a sliver of a chance that Jace might turnhis back on him.Hopefully, his mate being a shifter would keep himat his side because even as much as Link had started toneed and feel for Jace, his mate had been drawn to him bymuch stronger powers.Link was Jace's mate and Jace hadobviously tried to keep away from him before and whenyou compared his secret to working for vampires anddealing drugs, then it did seem somewhat tame incomparison, even if it might pose a whole new spectrum ofissues for Jace.But Jace wouldn't push him away; push him aroundand bitch, sure, but he wouldn't turn Link away and Linksomewhat reluctantly realized that he would never let him.The cell started vibrating again and Link, reluctantto leave Jace's bed, grumbled as he was forced up [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
