ever met!” Claybourne fumed as he carried him back to the
car. He set him down and pointed to the car door, his neck muscles tight.
“Get in.” Claybourne walked over to his side. He thrust the candy at Felix who put it in his man bag.
The drive home was a quiet one. Claybourne stormed through the front door and headed to the
bedroom.
“What about my cooking lessons?” Felix asked.
“Starve!” Claybourne yelled before slamming the door. Felix sighed. Okay, maybe it wasn’t as funny as
he thought. He sighed and walked to the bedroom and opened the door.
“Not now, Felix,” Claybourne said through clenched teeth.
“Are you killing me? I don’t see your hands wrapped around my throat. So that means we can talk
about this,” Felix said as he hopped up on the bed.
Claybourne stopped his pacing and looked at his mate, confused. “If I choke you, will you leave me
alone?” he asked, sounding less mad and more curious.
“No.” Felix shook his head.
Claybourne sighed. “I’m sorry for getting so mad.” He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
“You want to tell me why? And there is no choice in the matter, I just thought asking was more polite,”
Felix informed him. He felt better when he saw a ghost of a smile on his mate’s lips.
“The short version is my dad used to publically humiliate me as a form of punishment. It’s why I’m so
obsessed over the small details. I tried never to give him any reason to start on me,” he said and lay back on
the bed, his arm stretched wide.
“My dad would ignore me,” Felix said in a small voice.
“Which is what I was doing in the store, which is why you like being so grandiose about things.”
Claybourne pulled Felix down to lay next to him.
“You try everything you can not to become the center of attention, and I do everything I can to be the
center of attention. We are perfectly matched aren’t we?” Felix rubbed his nose against Claybourne’s side.
“I’m sorry I humiliated you,” Felix whispered.
“I’m sorry I ignored you,” Claybourne said in return.
“First fight over?” Felix asked. Claybourne nodded.
“Yes! Now it’s time for make-up sex!” Felix sat up and stripped off his shirt and pants.
Claybourne quickly followed his example and began pulling off his clothes, though he hesitated before
dropping them to the floor. Felix smiled and waved his finger at him.
“Remember, dirty is good.” Felix licked his lips while keeping eye contact with his mate. Claybourne
dropped the clothes on the floor.
“I think I will reward you every time you’re dirty.” Felix leaned over his mate’s body.
“Could you…could you take me this time?” Claybourne asked in a rush. Felix paused, tongue out as he
leaned down to lick his mate.
“Lube. We need lube, like now,” Felix said, practically spinning in circles on the bed trying to remember
which dresser had the lube. Claybourne reached under the pillow and waved the tube at him.
“No wonder you’re a doctor, so damn smart.” Felix grabbed the tube and coated his fingers.
Claybourne went to turn on his stomach but Felix stopped him.
“I’d like to see your face, just try not to squeeze me with these delicious thighs of yours.” Felix ran his
tongue from kneecap to groin. Claybourne moaned and pulled his knees to his chest.
“How long has it been, my mate?” Felix asked, touching the small pink star with his lubed fingers. He
gently teased the opening, pausing randomly to apply pressure to the center, causing his mate to squirm.
“I haven’t been taken since medical school and even then it was a quick affair, just a way to release
stress,” Claybourne admitted.
“Good, I’ll be the only one to love on you.” Felix inserted a single finger and began to push against the
silken sides of his mate, stretching him slowly.
“God! I may come from just that, what are you doing to me?” Claybourne asked, gasping.
“Loving you,” Felix said
