unable to communicate with Alan the way Sasha wanted to was pure torture. Yes, love. I can. Let me hear that beautiful voice again. I love you, my grizzly bear. Alan looked stunned as he stared down at Sasha. Had he gone too far? Wasn t he supposed to tell his mate that he loved him? Sasha was worried that he had moved too fast and that Alan wasn t ready for the profession of love. Alan grinned and then gently kissed Sasha on each eye and then laid a soft kiss on his lips. I love you, too, my small bear. Sasha noticed that Alan hadn t said that out loud. But he was happy with Alan s declaration. It meant that they were moving in the right direction. Alan slapped Sasha s hip gently. I have a mess to clean up here. Can I help? No, Alan said as he pushed up from the bed. I want you to just lay there and look gorgeous for me. It ll give me reason to hurry back to bed. Sasha smiled. I can do that. I bet you can. Alan pulled the tray from the bed. He set the Alan s Anger 51 dishes in the sink then took a quick shower. Sasha waited patiently. Almost done? He could hear Alan mentally laugh. Yeah, so, Sasha could talk to his mate now and he didn t want their conversation to end. Sue him. You re going to talk my ear off now. I can just see it. Alan used their mating bond to reply. Sorry. Before Sasha s accident, he was a chatterbox. It seemed that hadn t changed since he could talk to his mate now. Don t be, and don t go clamming up on me. I ve waited too long to hear that musical voice of yours. Sasha s face felt like it was going to split in half from the grin on his face. Alan wanted to hear him talk. How crazy was that? I m getting lonely. Sasha heard a low grunt, and then Alan answered him. Here I come. Alan brought a cloth with him from the bathroom, gently separating Sasha s cheeks to clean away the seed that was now making its way back down the back of Sasha s thigh. We re going to have to strip the bed. It s filled with pasta sauce and spunk. Sasha nodded as he slid from the bed, gazing at Alan s naked form. Damn if the bear wasn t mouthwatering. He was hairy, that was for sure, but he was also well-muscled and sexy as sin. Sasha wanted to tell Alan to leave the sheets be because he wanted to mess them up some more. But Alan looked determined to strip the bed. What a shame. I can help. Where are the fresh sheets? In one of those boxes. Alan pointed toward the closet. Sasha dug through the boxes until he found a black fitted sheet. Walking around the frame to stand on the opposite side of his mate, he fanned the sheet out. He snapped his side of the sheets onto the corners, watching his mate do the same. What? Sasha asked when Alan crooked a finger at him. Instead of answering him, Alan climbed onto the bed and then 52 Lynn Hagen pulled Sasha on as well. Alan shifted around until he was spooning Sasha, a low rumbling in his chest as if he were content. Sasha pushed into Alan s chest, wrapping his arms around the arms Alan had wrapped around him. I can take the bedding to my house to be washed. I know you have to pay to do your laundry. Where do you live? Over on Elm. I answered an ad to rent a room. I live with an elderly woman named Stella. She s a doll. She makes the best snickerdoodles. They re to die for. You have to meet her. She will talk your ear off, but her mind is sharp for her age. She s funny, too. But you have to watch it. She ll talk about sex like it s no big deal. Really, she gets me to blushing every time, but you couldn t ask for anyone more caring. She also makes my lunches and wakes me up on time. She has dinner ready when I get home. Stella is a very sweet woman, and, oh god, I m talking your ear off! Alan chuckled as his hand caressed Sasha s. I could listen to you talk my ear off every day for the rest of my life. Sasha felt his face blush. No one had ever voluntarily wanted him to babble on. It was refreshing that Alan didn t mind in the least. If you want& I mean& I would like you to meet her, so if you& you know& picked me up tomorrow after work we could go over there. That sounds real good, mate. Now let me get some sleep. You drained all of my energy, and I have to work tonight. But you better not leave while I nap. I won t. Sasha lay in Alan s arm s until his big bear began to snore. Man, could Alan snore. Sasha feared the walls would crumble from the loud noise. He lay there thinking about how hard it must have been for Alan to set aside his anger. Sasha wasn t sure why his mate had been so angry, but was relieved that at least with him, Alan was trying. That was all Sasha could ask for. Alan s Anger 53 Sasha wiggled until he was disentangled from Alan s arm. He put the leftovers into the refrigerator, washed the cookie sheet, and put the unused paper cups up into the cupboard. The last thing Sasha did was wipe everything down. There, the place already looked much better. Sasha glanced over at Alan to see, and hear, that he was still fast asleep. He left his bear to his snoring as Sasha went into the bathroom to take a hot shower. When he stepped back into the small room, Sasha turned the space heater on. They both had generated plenty of body heat while having sex, but Sasha was cold now. He had a feeling that the radiator wasn t much help on bitterly cold days. With the blanket needing to be washed, Sasha had nothing to cover them with. Sasha crawled back into the bed, shivering until he was back in his bear s arms. Alan pulled him close as he began to snore again. Sasha was going to have to get earplugs since he was going to sleep full-time with his mate, but he somehow managed to fall asleep. Alan woke him some time later by kissing him out of his sleep. Sasha could get real used to this new Alan. Sasha liked the affection the most. It s time to get up, mate. Why? Even to Sasha he sounded like he was pouting. And he was. Sasha didn t want to move from Alan s arms. He was right where he wanted to be. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
