under the spray, and Rand kissed Tate hard, hands sliding around to grip Tate’s ass.
    Oh, God. That touch made him rise up on his toes, his body ready for anything Rand wanted to give him.
    “I want you,” Rand told him.
    “Anything.” Tate would do anything for this man. His mind and body and wolf all knew this one was his mate, so he could give himself freely, without fear.
    Rand pulled back to stare into his eyes, green gaze serious and sure. “I mean it, baby. I want you enough to stay here and take on running this pack.”
    “You—” His heart raced, his breath coming faster than he could catch. “Are you serious? You said you didn’t do Alpha stuff.”
    “I’ve never been the settling down kind.” Rand shrugged. “I’ll stay because I think this pack needs me, but more importantly, I need you.”
    His cheeks heated, the ridiculous pleasure he felt sending blood south as well. “I want you, too.”
    “Good.” When Tate swayed, begging a kiss, and Rand stopped him a few inches away. “Wait.”
    He wanted to whine like a wolf denied its prey. “Why?”
    “Because we need to make some things clear.” Rand tilted his head. “If I stay, you’ll be my mate, and in public you’ll be my right hand. You’ll probably do a lot of the go between stuff with the pack, since you know them all so well.”
    “Okay.” None of that sounded any different than what he did now, except they’d have a fair, sane Alpha and he’d have a mate. Oh, wow. “And in private?”
    “You’ll be my sub. Full-time. That’s the only way I’d settle down in one place, baby. It’s the one thing I’ve wanted to try that I never have, being a full-time Dom with someone. I like to play, but I’m not playing here.”
    “What do you mean. Full-time sub.” He wanted to know what that entailed before he agreed to anything.
    “That means when we’re home alone, you’re mine. I’m not an asshole, I promise, but I will want you ready and available to serve or to do a scene.” Rand watched him carefully, expression intense.
    “Yours.” Tate mulled that over, trying it on for size.
    “Naked and on your knees, baby.”
    He swallowed hard, the idea making his cock rise. “Oh. I—you wouldn’t make me—in front of other people.”
    “No. This is between you and me.” Rand nodded, reaching up to touch his cheek. “We’ll set rules, have a contract. I’ve never done it, but I’ve researched enough to know the rules.”
    “You sly dog.” Tate laughed, the idea that Rand wanted to do this right making up his mind. “I didn’t know they had Internet in Alaska or wherever it is you do this thing you do for a living.”
    “I find my ways.” Rand kissed him, oddly gentle, a promise in the contact. “Do you want me to stay?”
    Was Rand feeling a little uncertain? That was sweet, melting Tate’s heart. “I want you to stay.”
    “Thank you.” That smile made Tate’s toes curl.
    “What if we hate the whole sub thing?” he had to ask. “I mean, what if it doesn’t work?”
    Rand snorted, slapping Tate’s butt, which made his skin tingle. “You’ll love it. You’re meant to serve, baby.”
    “I’ll do my best.” He would. Tate would give this whole situation his all. Rand was his mate. He would work as hard as he could.
    “I know you will.” Rand nodded. “It’s settled then. We’ll rebuild the alpha house for us, huh? Is there anyone you want to move into this cabin?”
    Tate nodded easily. “Mairi. She can totally use the space.”
    “Done.” Rand drew him close, their lower bodies rubbing hard enough that Tate could feel how excited Rand was by this whole prospect. Hoo yeah. “I’m here for the long haul.”
    “Good.” Tate chuckled, sliding to the floor.
    Rand raised a brow. “What are you doing, baby?”
    Tate licked his lips, rubbing his hands together. “Well, you did say something about me naked and on my knees…”

    “I like the exposed beams,” Rand told Mairi, who turned
