answer, Matthew chanced a look at Dean’s face. The
    man was showing no emotion in his facial expression, his body
    was deathly still, but tears were tracking slowly down his face.
    Feeling like he had been punched in the guts at the sight of
    those tears, Matthew carefully ran his finger along the track
    marks, wiping the dampness from his mate’s face. “Don’t ever
    doubt that I want you,” he said forcing Dean to meet his eyes.
    “I want you even if you never allow me to touch you beyond
    what we are doing now. I want you no matter what you look
    like under those clothes, or how long you make me wait. All I
    ask,” and he knew as he formed the words in his head, that
    they were true, “is that when you are ready, you let me bite
    you, so that everyone will know that you are mine. And I will
    want you to bite me because I will be so proud when I am
    yours.”
    “But if we bite each other…then…well, you know…and if I
    can’t…then you won’t be able to…and that’s just not fair to
    you,” Dean burst out, his brow creased with worry, and it
    warmed Matthew’s heart because he knew it was worry for
    him.
    Matthew guessed exactly what Dean’s garble meant. If they
    claimed each other with a bite, then neither one of them would

    be able to get a hard on for anyone else but each other. With
    Dean unsure as to whether or not he could go through with
    sex, and Matthew knew they were going to have to discuss that
    in a bit more detail, but he didn’t want them in the car when
    that happened, he could see why Dean was so anxious on his
    behalf.
    “Dean,” he said, cupping the face he knew he was going to love
    with every fiber of his being. “I am over 120 years old. I have
    had sex, often, I won’t deny that, and I’m not telling you that
    to upset you. I’m being honest with you. But for more than fifty
    years that sex hasn’t meant anything to me at all. It has left
    me feeling empty inside, because there were no feelings
    involved, so honestly I’m not worried about whether or not you
    will put out.”
    “What I do want to do,” he said, staring into those
    mesmerizing grey eyes, “is protect you, keep you safe, have
    you cook some delicious food for me once in a while, and sleep
    in my bed with me at night. And I want us to talk. I would like
    us to explore what you might be comfortable doing with me.
    You didn’t mind when I kissed you, did you?”
    His sweet little mate blushed and damn if Matthew didn’t think
    that was the cutest thing ever. “I really liked your kisses, and I
    think I probably will want to do a lot more than that, but I’m
    just scared to try. It’s been a really long time, and I haven’t
    got a clue how it is supposed to feel. I’d hate to freak out on
    you and upset you. But I honestly want to try.”
    Matthew did smile then, because it was so sweet that all Dean
    was worried about was upsetting him. After all the crap his
    little wolf had gone through, Dean had to be the kindest, most
    caring shifter he had ever met. “Okay,” he said. “Here’s what
    we are going to do. I’m going to kiss you, because I really
    would like to. Then you are going to hop back in your seat so
    we can get back to the pack house. After that, we will find the
    time to sit down and talk, just the two of us, and you can
    explain what you will be comfortable with so we can claim each
    other. Does that sound acceptable to you?”

    “It sounds very formal,” Dean said with a giggle, “And a lot
    more organized than my thought processes are, and yes, that
    is fine with me.”

Chapter Five
    It seemed like the whole pack was waiting for them when they
    got back to Kane’s house. Matthew knew he should have felt
    guilty for not getting Dean back sooner, but he wasn’t going to
    regret the talk they had, or the kisses, which probably went on
    a bit longer than either one of them had thought they would.
    There was something amazingly sensual about just kissing and
    Matthew struggled
