barely acknowledged to myself. I know. It just struck me, you ve never teased me
before. When we re alone like this it s like we re just two guys enjoying a good fuck. But
as soon as we go out there, it s all different. You get so distant. Cold. It hurts.
Mace hugged my back to his chest. I never want you to hurt. I don t remember
how to treat a lover and still be a pack leader others respect.
I leaned into him. Right, show no weakness. I guess I look weak to all of you.
I hadn t noticed the door slowly open. Hawk slipped in with an armload of
clothes. That may have been true but I ve never seen anyone face Mace down like you
just did. Trust me, weak is not what they re saying about you right now, Brainiac.
Good. Finally others are seeing the inner strength you carry, Daniel. The
strength I saw the first time you looked me in the eye and told me off.
I felt my jaw bounce off the floor. Wait, then why all this learn to submit shit?
Inner strength won t save your life against those like Fang or Tat. But it can earn
you the same kind of respect Doc gets. Things will be different now, Daniel. And I ll try
not to be so harsh.
Hawk snorted. Yeah, right. You, my friend, need to be harsh or Tat will use it
against us.

I nodded, deep in thought as I dressed. Could I deal with Mace being cold in
public? Well, he wasn t cold exactly, but bossy, domineering, touchy-feely. If the others
stopped harassing me, yeah, I thought I could live with that.
I see your wheels turning. Mace pulled on his blood-spattered boots.
I shrugged. It may suck but I do understand your need to be seen as strong. I,
uh, will work harder to keep my mouth shut.
Not if you re getting hurt or harassed again. Mace held up a hand to stop me
from speaking. When anyone comes at you, they re coming at me. I can t let that go.
Shit, I hadn t thought of it that way.
Hand on the doorknob, Hawk added, Especially now that you ve officially
chosen him.
Wait, what s that mean?
I claimed you as my chosen mate. No other can have you. Like Slade chose
Doc.
Oh, fuck. Uh, is that like being married or something? And don t I get a say?
They both stared at me with blank looks. Hawk s lips moved as he repeated the
word married.
I guess, sort of. If married means you don t have sex with others, Mace offered
hesitantly.
Fuck! And I d just met the guy. Not to mention he didn t even ask. Fucking
shotgun wedding.
Mace must have read my mind. If you don t want to be with me, Daniel, I won t
force you. He shrugged and grinned wickedly. I might try to seduce you, but not
force you.
Hawk started to protest but Mace cut him off. He gets a choice, Hawk. I
shouldn t have chosen him without his consent. I ll deal with the fallout.
Shit, if I refused him, he d look weak, and Tat would just love that! Did I really
want to refuse him? Never sleep with him again? Go back to the compound full of

horny women and two fuckhead guys? No. No fucking way. And as much as I hated to
admit it, the thought of leaving Mace hurt. But did he feel the same?
Is this because you like me, or just to protect me so you can use me? Cause the
way you get mad and disgusted with me makes me wonder.
He winced as if I d struck him. I don t have to sleep with you to protect you or
to get you to work for me. I was never mad at you for getting hurt. I was mad that you
got hurt. I was mad at me, too, for not keeping you safe. It scared me, Daniel. You could
have died. That s when I knew you meant something more to me. A lot more. I can t
imagine not having you with me.
Well, fuck me sideways. He might as well have used the L word. Oh. Well, OK
then. Look, I don t know about the whole till death do us part thing but yeah, I like
being with you, too. And if I m not getting kicked around, it could work. Worth a shot
anyway. A short burst of laughter broke from me. Hell, who could turn down sex this
good?
OK, that wasn t the most romantic acceptance speech ever but no one s ever
accused me of being romantic. Mace seemed to understand. He certainly kissed me
enthusiastically enough. Then we have some scrounging to do, little human. Mace s
lips twitched, trying not to smile.
I chuckled. OK, Beast.
Hawk snarled at that term even though Mace snickered.
OK, I won t call you that if you don t call me little human. How s wolfman
sound?
Brannan Black
Brannan Black grew up dreaming about epic adventures with strong men and
women doing heroic deeds. She s been a belly dancer, horse breeder, mom, Reiki master
and crazy. Really, certifiable crazy. That s what folks say when the people in your head
won t leave you alone. When their worlds and lives seem as real as this one. Now she
writes their stories, making them happy, and people call her an author instead of nuts.
She lives quietly, more or less, on a small ranch with her husband, multiple cats, dogs
and horses.
