and he had to glance away. They d been so young, so innocent, and Josh was right they d been robbed of
far too much.
And then he recalled the night they d first made love, how surprisingly shy Joshua had turned out to
be, so inexperienced at being with another man. Hayden had only begun to show him how it would be
between them physically before everything was stolen from them. Before Josh had been brutally violated
after Hayden had been so careful and gentle with him. God, he d wanted to spare Josh any pain during their
lovemaking, and then&
He shook his head, clearing the dark memories. They would start over now, as if it was the very first
time all over again, as if none of the nightmarishly bad shit had ever happened. For some reason, that
thought didn t sadden him now as it might It awakened him.
 Yeah, we ve got a whole lot to learn. And I ve got a lot to teach you, Hayden whispered, meeting
his mate s gaze with suggestive, highly sexual intensity. His heart slammed hard inside his chest, and his
pulse skittered in arousal as he imagined long, slow moments of instruction while holding Josh in his arms.
 I d only begun tutoring you that night five years ago.
Hayden caught a strong aroma right then, wafting from the other side of the booth: Joshua s very
distinctive mating scent. Josh glanced at his watch, then back at Hayden. He released a rumbling growl of
possession.  Maybe I could manage an afternoon off just this once. You know, for the sake of, uh, higher
learning.

Hayden smiled, sniffing at the air, loving that his mate was marking him all over again, right here in
the bar.  Of course every teacher must also be willing to be a student himself, he said with a husky
promise all his own.  And keep up with the latest field research, of course.
Josh slipped a leg up against Hayden s right then, rubbing it back and forth sensually, as if he were in
wolf form and hoping to be petted. Hayden flashed on an image of his mate transformed, that glorious,
gleaming coat shining beneath the full moon as they ran together. Breathless, inspired. In love.
Swallowing hard, he tamped down the overwhelming urge to howl his emotions to the entire saloon.
Instead, he leaned forward and whispered,  Full moon in two nights, mate. I have plans for you. With that
husky, arousing promise, Hayden intentionally released a potent mating scent, but it wasn t like he
could ve prevented himself from doing so anyway. Not with Josh sitting across from him, all gorgeous and
flush-faced, that sexed-up expression in his light eyes.
No, Hayden couldn t have kept his mating and arousal scents corked if he d tried. He was hopelessly
aroused, and any other wolf in the bar would know it now because those scents were flowing off his skin
like rich cologne. And Josh clearly got the message because he jerked his head back, pegging Hayden
with a wild stare. His hands tensed against the tabletop, and his eyes changed to a much darker hue. They
stared at each other, breathing heavily from arousal and then Josh slowly tilted his chin upward, sniffing at
the air without ever taking his gaze off Hayden. After several moments, Josh s eyes slid shut and he
swallowed hard.
 You d better get me out of here, Garrett. Fast. At least if you re going to keep that up.
 I love it when you call me Garrett, Hayden purred back, laughing low.  It s hot as hell, baby.
Josh s hands clenched against the edge of the table and his jaw began ticking.  I should have claimed
you last night. Not waited& why did we choose to wait? he asked, shaking his head and swallowing
several times.  That mating scent you re putting off is about to make me do dangerous things right here,
right now. In public. You ve gotta stop, Hayden. Please.
 You don t like my mating scent? Hayden asked languidly.
Josh s eyes slowly drifted open.  That, he said in a husky, deep voice,  is most definitely not the
problem.
Hayden leaned forward and slowly stroked the back of Josh s hand.  Well, Officer Peterson, I suggest
you call the chief and request the afternoon off, like you said. Because my tutoring? All that I want to teach
you? It s already begun. That s what you re scenting right now.
Josh pegged him with an almost hopeless expression, there was that much desire awash in his gaze
as if the simple act of getting the check and leaving the bar was more than he could bear. Hayden grinned,
recalling that long ago night when they d pounced on each other in the front seat of Josh s truck, unable to [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
