Chapter 9

“Don’t move. Please don’t move.” Logan wrapped Adrian up in powerful arms to support and comfort him. “I want to remember this moment forever.”

Claiming his virginity in the most remarkable setting, with the most diligent care, amidst strong emotions—hell, Logan wasn’t sure what was real and what was from some kind of intense sexual connection. The depth of feeling he had for Adrian this quickly was frightening. Logan was a realist who didn’t fall in love at the drop of a hat, but something profound happened when he’d taken—claimed—Adrian.

Claimed?

A voice had whispered that word into his mind.

Logan tried to shake the word and the images it evoked out of his head, but the harder he tried to rid it from him, the more firmly the notion gripped him.

He’d been honest when he admitted that he didn’t want another meaningless hookup, but he hadn’t expected to find something so emotionally engaging, either. It was as if in some way he’d always known Adrian. Now that he’d taken—mated—with him, he was simply remembering what he’d forgotten.

Mated?

Oh, no. Logan lowered his head and pressed his face against Adrian’s neck and shoulder. What had he done? Logan had never been in love, but he had a sneaking suspicion his pirate heart had just been plundered and stripped of booty.

Eventually, they had to part when Logan’s cock slipped from Adrian’s body and the room grew dark.

“The sun sets fast this time of year.” Adrian’s voice sounded wistful.

“Are you okay?” Logan wanted to touch him everywhere to assure himself he hadn’t injured his mate. Boyfriend, he told himself, but that word wasn’t right. Adrian was his mate, and that was that. Logan had never taken romance too seriously, mainly because he’d never seen the point. Now, though, love hit him very suddenly, very deeply, and very unchangeably.

“I’m better than okay.” Adrian turned so he could kiss him more fully. “I feel like I’ve taken another step.”

“You, too?”

Adrian nodded. “Come on, let’s go warm up and wash off.”

Logan didn’t feel so odd about his quick and deep attachment once he knew he wasn’t alone. Maybe this was how it happened to everyone who fell in love. It wasn’t a slow slip-slide but a growling thrust, and bam there he was, smack-dab in the middle of love. Although, if he was going to tell Adrian, he might want to put things a bit more poetically.

“That was wicked awesome.” Oh, for fuck’s sake! Logan almost slapped his forehead.

“It was.” Adrian stopped in midstride to kiss him half a dozen times.

“I was going to say something more profound.”

“Why?”

“To impress you.”

A smile of complete and utter acceptance crossed Adrian’s face. “You don’t need to impress me. Just be here with me.”

“That I can do.” And Logan stopped beating himself up. He was probably always going to remove his clothes like a klutz and say silly things, but if Adrian was okay with that, then he would be okay with it as well. And that was when he realized something about love he didn’t know before.
