are you being punished, mate?” Kit knew he had called her mate rather than kitten or love on purpose and the fact he was deliberately drawing attention to that distance made her sad even as she recognized the manipulation.
“I faked an orgasm.” She barely leas hed in the rest of the comment because adding “I knew your ego wouldn’t appreciate knowing how unsatisfying our sex life had become” wasn’t likely to win her any Dale Carnegie awards for making friends and influencing people.
“And?” This time it was Trev’s growled words that sounded in her ear.
“Ummm, I don’t really know anything else. And in all honesty, I have been trying to tell you that I wanted to go back to the way things were and you just kept blowing me off.” Kit felt both men go still and she wondered if they really believed that she really was such a coward that she wouldn’t have addressed the issue.
Kit finally felt the air around her stirring and then the blindfold was pulled up so she was left blinking against the light even though the room itself was actually fairly dim. Trev was leaning down on one knee and gently stroking his fingers along the bottom side of her jaw. “Explain,” was all he said, but she understood immediately that they hadn’t heard anything she’d said these past several weeks and that hurt her far worse than any punishment they could mete out.
“Did you really think I would just fake my satisfaction the first time I felt like I’d bee n left at the edge of a release that I knew would only strengthen our bond?” There was a part of her that was angry because they’d assumed she was that incredibly selfish and deceitful, but there was a larger part that now understood just how little they knew about each other. Their relationship had gone from zero to full immersion in a matter of hours so it stood to reason that they would still be discovering things about each other as mates for a long time. Taking a deep breath and releasing it in a rush, Kit looked into the baffled expression on Trev’s face. “I’m really sorry. I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful or deceitful. I was just reaching…and trying to wish something into existence that obviously just isn’t meant to be.”
Kit drew in a deep breath and tried to still her galloping heart. She didn’t break her gaze with Trev, nor did she try to stop the tear that now rolled silently down her cheek. She knew the only way to survive the heartache that was ahead was to step back and give her heart and mind a chance to re-group. Pulling in a deep breath and hoping she seemed more confident than she was, Kit tried to sound confident in her words, “You are punishing me for the wrong reason you know. Red.”
Trevlon Wolf was rarely shocked by the actions of people around him because he was usually excellent at reading a situation and understanding exactly what was headed his way. But his mate had just completely blindsided him and from the sharp intake of breath he heard from his twin, Jameson hadn’t fared any better. The wooden paddle Jameson had been holding clattered to the floor and when Trev looked up the look of devastation in his brother’s eyes was haunting. People did shock Jameson on occasion because Jameson was busier with pack business, but they rarely surprised Trev the way Kit just had. Jameson didn’t have the luxury of sitting to the side watching people’s reactions and responses when they didn’t know they were being observed the way Trev did. And Trev had always considered his ability to feed Jameson that kind of information one of his greatest contributions to their co-Alpha status.
And now Trev felt as if he’d let his brother down in a way he’d have never even considered possible. How had this gotten so far out of control? Kit’s softly whispered, “Please” snapped them both into action and they had her released and standing in seconds. Trev tried to
