Chapter Nine

“Are you sure we’re allowed to be in here?” Sean whispered, his eyes huge as he looked at all the books on the shelves. His wonder tugged at Alex’s heart, further cementing their bond. The past few days, they’d made loved, fucked, and laughed as much as they could.

They hadn’t even left their bedroom until today, when it dawned on Alex that they hadn’t seen any of the rest of HQ. He’d been too busy monopolising Sean’s time, but he was pretty sure—positive, actually—that Sean hadn’t minded. In fact, he’d nearly had to drag Sean out of their room. The man was definitely on the shy side. Alex thought it was cute.

“It’s fine. Marcus said we could go anywhere except barging into people’s bedrooms.

He never minded letting anyone use his library, either, so relax.” Alex leaned down and kissed the side of Sean’s neck. He always shivered and whimpered softly when Alex did that, and both reactions were addictive.

“Okay. Jeez, you know I melt when you do that,” Sean grumbled good naturedly.

“Which is part of why I do it,” Alex teased back, winking—something he’d never imagined himself doing, go figure—at his mate. He draped his arm over Sean’s shoulders and rubbed the back of his neck. The knobs of his spine weren’t as prominent as they’d been when he first found Sean. Alex glanced at Sean’s profile as he looked over a row of mystery books. The bruises were finally gone, his arm healed days ago, and he’d even gained some weight. His skin was pale, but attractively so, and he glowed with good health and happiness.

The strawberry blond hair was growing fast, something not uncommon in shifters. The inch-long growth looked to be curling already. Alex tried to picture it as he moved his hand up to rub the silky strands at the base of Sean’s hairline.

“It is curly,” Sean mumbled as he reached for a book. “That’s why Joshua kept it shaved. He said I looked like a girl. All my family teased me about that. They used to call me Goldilocks when my hair was still white-blond. Once it darkened to this colour, the ginger insults began.”

Alex narrowed his eyes, trying to picture Sean with lighter hair and curls. The image that popped up was so vivid he knew it wasn’t ‘make believe’ but a memory. He struggled to place it, and once he did he shared it with Sean. “That was you, right? I saw you once, from a distance, mind you, and thought you were a girl.”

Sean turned and arched a brow at him, but his lips twitched as he tried not to smile. “A girl? Really, Alex? And yeah, I don’t remember that day, but what you showed me was me and Joshua walking to one of our brother’s cabin.” Sean’s brows scrunched down as he frowned at Alex. “That had to be around the time I was seven or eight. You’d think I’d remember that, but when I try I want to slip back to that safe place I told you about.
