and fists clenched, the way they used  to whenever Nick had said something that offended him.
    He could have mentioned the rescue Nick had to offer him when
    he first arrived at James DeWitt’s pack, but he didn’t want to start a  physical fight. He just wanted Adam to come back.
    “This isn’t the first time you’ve come all the way out here. It  makes me nervous. On the way I came across a strange werewolf  prowling around.”
    “Really?”
    Curiosity in his voice was much better than defensiveness.
    “Yes, really. Please come back.” Nick held out his hand, hoping  that Adam would come forward and take it.
    Ever since that time together, when he realized Adam had shed tears, something had grown between them that made every

    conversation they had as uncomfortable as possible. It seemed they  couldn’t even do the friends with benefits thing, and Nick desperately  wished he knew what was going on.
    Of course, Adam didn’t move, didn’t take Nick’s hand, and they  were both standing there naked.
    Had they not been so far away from the property, Nick would  have relished the chance to put Adam onto his knees. Not now,  though. Not while they were so far away that no member of James’s  pack would so much as hear them should they be ambushed.
    Nick lowered his hand, his heart making little butterfly flutters as  the fear of what he was about to say, and what that could possibly  reveal, lanced through him. “Adam, the other day, if I hurt you, I’m  sorry for that. It wasn’t intended.”
    “Christ, you’re stupid.”
    “What?” Nick went from apologetic to angry in an instant. Now  his fists were the ones clenching, and his entire body shook with the  urge to just go over there and punch Adam good in the head. “What  the hell is your problem?” he demanded.
    “My problem is that I want to kick your ass,” Adam countered. “I  can’t stop thinking about the time you left, and don’t you dare tell me  that I should let that go. I can’t. I thought we were mates then and I  still think it now, otherwise I would’ve been able to stop this by now.”
    Adam still thought—
    “Then you tell me that you love me while we’re fucking.”
    “ What? ” Nick so did not remember that ever leaving his mouth. It  was true, he did love him, but he still didn’t recall saying it.
    “And then it’s back to normal, as though  nothing was happening.  So I need you to tell me, right now, do you feel this, too? Do you  think we’re mated? If the answer is no, then we’re going to wash our  hands of each other because I can’t take this anymore.”
    A small sobbing sound escaped Adam’s throat as he kept on  speaking, and then the scent of salt water wafted through the air once
    more.

    Adam was crying again. He was probably hastily wiping at his eyes, hoping Nick wouldn’t notice, and because Nick didn’t want to embarrass him, he didn’t ask about it or point it out.
    It was hard to say anything in response to that either.
    “I—”
    “Fuck, forget it,” Adam said. His footsteps were heavy as he
    stomped toward the trail that would take him back to the pack.
    Nick reached out and snatched his arm before Adam  could make it
    past him.
    Adam tried to shove him off, but Nick was prepared for it. “Get
    the fuck off me!”
    Nick kissed him, pushing him into the nearest tree. There must have been a branch there by the way Adam arched and jumped away from it, knocking them  both onto the ground.
    They fought. The same way they always did, both wrestling for dominance, this time, however, it wasn’t about sex. Nick just didn’t want Adam to leave.
    He pinned Adam, as he always managed to do, but for the first time, Adam wouldn’t submit that easily. He wiggled and fought, his fist coming up and catching Nick right in the jaw.
    His
