Haven 1: Caution: Contents Under Pressure (16 page)

Thankfully, Stavion actually liked Kieran and his siblings. Raina was a female version of Jory, so he could definitely see why the pair got along so well. Even Teegan had begun to come out of her shell a bit with Jory’s help.

“I’m going to talk to Kieran and his brothers.”

“They said yes,” Jory responded as he flopped down on the sofa and started flipping through the channels on the television.

“How do you know what I was going to ask them?”

Jory just looked at him and rolled his eyes. “You want to make them Enforcers and have them help guard the estate. I think it’s a great idea. I asked them this afternoon while you were sleeping. They said yes.”

“Exactly who is in charge around here?” Stavion crossed his arms over his chest, but he couldn’t have been happier that Jory had showed the initiative to speak with the werewolves.

“I guess that depends on who you ask,” Jory quipped back.

“You know, you’re becoming quite the smart-ass.”

“Maybe I need a spanking.” Jory stood up on the sofa and bounced a little, wiggling his ass in Stavion’s direction.

“Oh, you’re going to get more than that.” Stavion growled playfully as he stalked toward his mate. He didn’t think Jory really wanted a spanking. The little guy had come so damn far, but he’d probably never be ready for that kind of play. Stavion didn’t mind. He would much rather love on his mate than punish him—even the kinky, sexual kind of punishment.

Jory squealed, launched himself over the back of the sofa, and sprinted for their bedroom. Stavion took off in pursuit, catching his lover and tackling him to the mattress. He pinned Jory beneath him and rested their foreheads together as they laughed themselves silly.

Damn, he loved his life.

“I love you, Jory. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”

Jory sobered, and he reached up to trace Stavion’s jaw with one finger. “I love you, too, big guy. Thank you for being patient and not giving up on me. I can’t imagine my life without you.”

“And you’ll never have to,” Stavion promised.

“I’m feeling a lot of pressure, love. It hurts.” Jory’s bottom lip stuck out, and his eyes took on that lost puppy look that made Stavion melt every time.

While he was able to relieve most of the pressure for his mate, he just didn’t need to feed as often as Jory needed. Once a week, the little guy still had to dip into the sauna for an hour or so. He said he didn’t mind, but Stavion wished he could do more help to his mate.

“I’m sorry, baby. I don’t need to feed again yet. Do you want me to come to the sauna with you?” He petted Jory’s hair back from his face and kissed his temple.

“Mmm,” Jory purred. “That’s not what I meant.” He arched up, bowing his back and grinding his cotton-covered cock against Stavion’s lower belly. “There seems to be a lot of swelling in this region.”

Finally catching on, Stavion growled playfully and nipped at Jory’s bottom lip. “Oh, is that right?”

“Oh, yes,” Jory answered seriously. “You should definitely use caution. Contents under pressure and all that. It might explode if handled roughly.”

Stavion groaned and dropped his forehead to Jory’s. “We can still use the sauna.”

“If you want.” Jory pushed at his shoulders until Stavion rolled off of him. Then he jumped up from the bed, peeled his clothes off, and started for the door. “Well, are you coming or not? I planned to get
revamped
a whole lot tonight.”

Stavion didn’t know what the hell that meant, but it sounded dirty, and he loved it. “I’ll give you a head start.”

“Ooh, are you going to chase me?”

Stavion rose from the mattress and began to undress slowly.

“Absolutely.”

Jory glanced over his shoulder and winked. “And I’ll let you catch me.”
