Chapter Fifteen

Lionel

“I know sexy times don’t solve problems, but being physically close is always a good thing between mates.” Brad’s voice shocked Lionel from his thoughts.

He was in the kitchen, mulling over the night before. Lionel had barely gotten any sleep, and as the bedroom had slowly lightened, he’d gotten up, hoping to make amends for his shocking breakdown the day before. He’d made the coffee and was in the process of frying bacon, so his mate would at least have something to eat as he walked out the door when Brad wandered in unnoticed.

“You’re right. I’m sorry. Just having random thoughts about the mess I was last night,” he said quickly, moving the bacon off the heat. “I wasn’t aware I was projecting. I thought you were still asleep. There’s coffee there for you in a travel mug, and if you just give me a minute, I’ll have this ready for you to take with you. I’m sure you have an early start again this morning.”

“My work can wait ten minutes.” Brad sat on one of the barstools at the kitchen counter. “I feel we haven’t had the chance to get to know each other outside of the bedroom yet. I know part of that is my fault with what happened last night. If there’re issues bothering you, then you need to tell me. They became my issues the moment we claimed each other. We have to communicate, otherwise, this awkward stage of a new mating is going to last far longer than necessary.”

“You’re right again. I know you’re right. I just don’t know what you want me to say, though.” In truth, Lionel was hellishly embarrassed about how he had broken down the day before. That was not the way he wanted to present himself to his mate. He needed to be independent and prove he wasn’t going to be a clingy lion that couldn’t bear to have Brad out of his sight.

“I appreciate you’re a very busy man,” he said, quickly plating up the bacon onto some thick slices of toast and tomatoes he had already sorted, cutting the sandwiches in half and popping them into a paper bag, ready for Brad to take with him. “I just… I just… I had a rough day, and when I couldn’t get in touch with you, it was very easy to feel neglected. But that’s on me, not on you,” he added quickly.

Brad was a grown man. He could live his life as he pleased. He had built a business, and he was in a position of responsibility. Lionel knew all that, he accepted all that.

“Lionel, I need you to talk to me. If I don’t know what’s bothering you, then I can’t help,” Brad murmured patiently.

“It’s nothing. Really. Okay, no, I’m sorry. It’s never right for one mate to lie to another.” Lionel turned, walked over, pushing the coffee and the sandwiches in Brad’s direction. “You’ve got lots to do. You’re in a position of authority and have a lot of responsibilities.
