    “Mine.” To prove his point, James slammed inside while wrapping his fingers around Lou with a firm grip.
    “Yesss,” the bear shifter hissed.
    Something inside James changed.
    Mine , a soft whisper said inside his head.
    Fangs sliced through his gums, and without thought he plunged them into his mate’s neck.
    Lou roared, liquid pumping out of his cock, spraying the back of the leather couch.
    James felt something pass through his fangs. After a moment the freaky teeth retracted.
    He licked the spot, enamoured with the taste, smell and feel of his lover. In a cloud of lust he finished inside his lover’s ass. Sated, he collapsed against the larger shifter’s back.
    “I hate to object to being your resting spot but this isn’t the best position.”
    “Oh, sorry.” James slid off the couch. As he got to his feet his muscles locked and he started to fall.
    “Gotcha.” A large hand clamped on his arm, preventing his inelegant tumble to the floor.
    “Thanks.” He gave the bear a bashful smile. “I guess I used up all my energy.” Lou smiled. “Let’s take a shower. You can lean against me.” It was the best invitation he’d ever had.
    Lou’s shower was a study in decadence. James had never seen a rain shower before and the places those side showerheads sprayed were positively indecent.
    “You don’t need a boyfriend with all of these,” he teased.
    True to his word, after washing both of their fronts, Lou rested James against his big muscular chest, carefully washing James’ back, sliding his fingers through his hair.
    Hell, he might never leave this watery paradise.
    “I’ll consider you a supplemental bonus.”
    James snickered. Rubbing against the big guy caused other things to renew interest.
    “Oh, no, you don’t. My ass needs a rest. Let’s finish up and we can discuss what we are going to do about you. Do you need to take your pills?” A PRIDELESS MAN

    James shook his head. “I took some this morning and I’m not due until tonight. I need to go back to my apartment and talk to my landlady. I don’t want her to think I’m a drug addict.”
    Lou held him a little away so he could look into his eyes. “You are a drug addict, honey. Just because it’s a drug to help you doesn’t mean you’re not addicted. Painkillers can be some of the most addictive medication. We’re going to get you through this.”
    “And then what? I’m going to be the mystical magical white lion shifter. What am I going to do with my life?”
    Lou gave him a tight hug and if James hung on a little tighter, the bear shifter didn’t comment.
    Tears filled James’ eyes.
    “I’m a mess,” he confessed as if it were news to the other man.
    Lou laughed, the sound echoing beneath James’ ear where it rested on his chest. “Yes, but you’re my mess.” He slid his fingers into James’ hair, forcing his head back. “You can do whatever you want. I’d like you to move in with me and for us to decide together. Now that you marked me, I’m your mate.”
    “Marked you?”
    Lou frowned. “When you put your fangs in me while you pounded me into the couch.
    You bound us together.”
    “Shit.”
    Hurt entered his lover’s eyes. “Don’t you want to be with me?”
    “No! I mean yes, I do, but I didn’t know I bonded with you. It’s instinct. I had to bite you.”
    Lou’s big hand petted James’ head. “That’s because we belong together and your beast knows this.”
    “Maybe,” he allowed. “I don’t know if that means I’m ready to move in with you, Lou.
    We haven’t known each other very long and our one luncheon date and sex does not a relationship make.”
    Lou turned off the water. “Come on, let’s get dry and I can explain to you about mates.”
    James wasn’t sure he liked the bear’s tone but he wasn’t going to turn down more information. He was stumbling in the dark about their relationship and he didn’t like the A PRIDELESS MAN
