Chapter Six

During the silent drive home, all Malik could think of had been that vampire, poaching on what rightfully belonged to him. He seethed silently. He ought to bite Dale in a spot where everyone could see, so they’d instantly know his little human was off-limits. His. Malik gnashed his teeth.

That was the jaguar talking, but the human side of him didn’t like seeing Dale with another man either. Unwarranted jealousy, he knew but didn’t care. Malik prided himself on having the most control among his brothers, but the truth was, he was scared of losing to his animal, too.

“Malik, does that mean that the ‘just friends’ rule went out the window the moment you fought for my virtue?” Dale, he realized, made a joke.

Another snarl threatened to slip his lips, but that might only drive Dale into silence.

“Virtue? Where did that language come from?”

Dale relaxed at his normal tone, slumping against his seat. “I don’t know, sounded funny in my head. Maybe because I was recently reading a historical, gay werewolf romance during break on my phone.”

“Such a genre exists?”

“Of course.” Dale shifted in his seat. “We need to talk about what happened.”

What happened? Malik had just acted like a dominant shifter male, overprotective of his mate. Mate. That word had sounded like a curse to him once, but not anymore. Still, Dale made an excellent point. He valued their unexpected friendship, too. He knew Dale made enough to rent his own place elsewhere, but Dale insisted on staying, claiming that by being roommates, they were saving some cash.

Excuses. Malik didn’t argue though, because he liked Dale’s company and coming home, knowing Dale waited for him, or those nights Dale came back from a late shift, bringing some leftovers they’d munch on while watching a marathon on Netflix until morning arrived.

I saved you from a vampire, end of story, Malik nearly said, except those words would only drive the wedge between them further. As much as they enjoyed being roommates, both of them wanted to be so much more.

“Fine. I got territorial,” he eventually said. “To my jaguar, you’re mine. Anyone who lays their hands on you answers to me.”

Dale swallowed. “Okay, that’s kind of hot. Wait, no. That’s not my point. Back at the laundry room, you asked me if I was sure if I wanted to remain friends.”

“Is that still your answer?”

“I don’t know. Malik, what’s holding both of us back? For me, it’s because I like hanging around you, but I want you, too.” Dale was blushing so deeply at this point that the little human’s face and neck was bright red. “What’s your excuse?”

Malik rubbed at his unshaven jaw. Dale asking that question was about to drag a whole lot of ugly demons from his past, but then again, Dale deserved an explanation. “I don’t like losing control, Dale. That’s when I start wrecking everything in my path. I destroy, that’s what my momma told me.”

“You protected me,” Dale corrected. “You forget. I’ve done gigs
