aren’t interested,” he said. “She’s been coming onto you since we got here, as if you haven’t noticed.”
Dane sighed, glancing across at her then back to Jai. “What am I supposed to tell her?”
“Say that you’re already seeing someone,” he suggested. “Or you could tell her the truth. Max knows, by the way; he guessed. He won’t say anything.”
He saw the worry on Dane’s face and had to fight the urge to take him into his arms and reassure him.
“I’ll come with you, if you want.”
Dane took in a deep, shaking breath and nodded. He and Jai went back to Elizabeth.
“So, how about that drink?” she asked. When he didn’t respond, she looked between them curiously.
“I can’t,” Dane told her. “Look, Elizabeth, I’m sorry—I didn’t mean to lead you on. I, um…no, Jai, I have to do this,” he said as Jai looked ready to to intervene. He gulped in a breath. “I’m with Jai. Like a couple, I mean. He’s my mate.”
Elizabeth groaned and covered her face with her hands. “I just made a bloody fool of myself, didn’t I? And you all just let me.” She glared up at Max, at the lack of reaction to their announcement. “You knew? You could have said something: thanks for nothing!”
She strode out to the car but Max stopped Jai going after her. “Leave her to calm down.”

The two wolves took them to the hotel, going via Max’s house to collect his car. He led them to the hotel, getting them checked in and taking them to the hotel shop so that they could get a few necessities since they had nothing with them for an overnight stay. The pack had an account with the shop for visitors. Max left then, leaving the first vehicle with them for use the next morning.
When they were finally alone in their suite, Jai heaved a sigh of relief. At last. The stolen moment in the car park had done nothing to quash the desire he had been hiding for his mate all day. He had found himself counting down the minutes on the journey home, the need to get Dane alone, into bed, riding him hard.
Dane watched as Jai locked the door, dropping his phone and keys on the table in the seating area. He took a quick look around their suite, smiling in approval at the pack’s choice, before going back to Jai. The moment he stepped through the door, he was pulled into a tight embrace as Jai closed his mouth over Dane’s. The kiss was born of desperation, passionate and rough, a way of taking the edge off.
“Bed?”
Dane nipped Jai’s lower lip between his teeth and grinned. “Hell, yes.”
“Want you to fuck me, Jai,” Dane murmured, pressing a kiss to the curve of Jai’s neck. “I need you inside me.”
Jai smiled happily; how could he refuse such a request?
Chapter Nine
The intention to make this tender and lasting didn’t make it beyond the doorway. By the time they reached the bedroom, they were both down to jeans and nothing else. Boots, jackets, and shirts had been abandoned on the way here like a trail of breadcrumbs to the bedroom. It had been a challenge to undress whist still touching and kissing, but they made it. Jai separated them long enough to unfasten Dane’s jeans, stripping him out of them before kicking off his own. Dane snaked an arm around Jai’s waist and they both tumbled onto the bed.
“’Wanted to take it slowly this time,” Jai said, hissing in a breath as Dane’s fingers found their way between their bodies and closed around his cock.
“Later. I want you now,” Dane told him, his voice rough with desire. “Please.”
Jai’s breath caught at the need in Dane’s voice, the knowledge that his mate wanted him as much as he wanted Dane. He broke away so that they could move fully onto the bed, reaching for the items he bought from the hotel shop. He wasn’t sure that the “necessities” the pack had in mind included what he’d bought, but it was necessary to him. He pulled out a tube of lubricant and squeezed a little out.
